I've just learned that I've recieved admission for a professional school and I'll be moving from California to Pennsylvania within the month. I've lived in California all my life, and I admit I'm a bit scared of this move. But we do what we must do, and this is where I want to be. I was...

I've always thought it's better to hide somethings from people that you don't completely trust in. I've always hidden the fact that I am very pro gun and that I do own firearms. I did this simply to avoid some crazy people and to not get into debates with everyone I meet that is anti gun. So...

My gf has a thing for colts, some of you have seen some of the problems I've had with a king cobra, and if you have someone that might have a king cobra crane please let me know. Today while strolling through the gun show I stumbled across a colt that I have never heard of and didn't find in...

Colt parts? I'm specifically looking for a crane for the colt king cobra in .357 stainless. A few weeks ago I sent my sig 220 and my girlfriend's king cobra out to Tom novak to get some trigger work. While it was there Tom found that there seemed to be a lot play in the cylinder. When he took...

I've been thinking about getting a speedfeed III stock for my remington 870. I know I know I've done a search already and I'm pretty much sold on the stock. What I wanted to ask was if it is possible for me to do the swap from the old wood stock and forearm to the speedfeed stock and forearm...

I just purchase an used 870 remington express mag. I'm now currently looking for a shorter barrel as this 870 came with a 29 inch barrel. The barrel the 870 came with says "use 2.75 or 3 inch shells in mag recievers, use only 2.75 in all others." Now my question is I found a barrel that is...

I brought back two great deals on a sig 220 and a winchester model 70 today and had just finished cleaning them up, when my gf approached me and ask me an interesting question. "Why are you buying all these guns?" I answered that I liked the different mechanisms that were involved, how simple...

Just had the chance to pick up a Russian 1953 sks, with a choate stock and a 20 round fixed mag for 350 out the door. It looked like it was in excellant shape. I think this is a steal of a deal, but I'd like to get some opinions from you guys. Thanks, UltimaSE

I am in the process of purchasing a sig 220 and a winchester model 70. The ffl that I called to do the transfer initially told me that the transfer would be $35 with the dros fee included. Since this was a ffl dealer for a club this sounded great, so I had both sent to him. When I called to...

Does anyone know what the requirements are for a ffl to charge tax on a transfer? I thought in general if it was going from a shops inventory to the ffl then the ffl was entitled to charge state tax on the ffl transfer fee on the firearms. However if the person sending the gun is a private party...

I found a winchester .308 described as a "1996 stainless barrel (bolt & action), synthetic stock rifle shoots under one inch groups at 100 yds consistently w/150 and 165 grn bullets. Manufactured with a pre '64 action, controlled feed w/claw extractor, it has brought 3 deer to our dinner table...

Finally started reloading. I'm starting with .357 mag with some bluedot. I wanted to make sure I'm not completely missing something. So far I've loaded 50 rounds of .357 with 158 grain rn bullet with a small pistol mag primer with 9.6 grains of blue dot behind it. OAL is 1.544 to 1.546. Also...

I'm a bit confused, I asked this in another post but it didn't get completely answered and I want to make sure I have everything down before I start making some rounds. The two rounds that I'm loading for are .45 acp and .357. I purchased some 231 and bluedot for these two. Now my main...

I just realized this in all the manuals they list specific combinations of rounds that they reloaded. Are we just supposed to get as close as we can to them? I would think there would be a somewhat small difference between loading a 200 grain jhp or a 200 grain fmj but I want to make sure. One...

I started cleaning all my brass with my tumbler, but I seemed to have come up with some questions. The buttom of the brass doesn't seem to ever get clean, is this something that I should worry about? Also looking at the dillon press, I'm assuming that I'm supposed to deprime-prime at the first...

colt 1991a in ca.... I know that from the doj page that the fullsize 1991 and the combat commander have past. But does anyone know that since the 1991 has past does that cover all versions of the 1991, like the compact 1991? I might have stumbled upon one, and I was wondering if this would...

I've always enjoyed the idea of a nice long range rifle. However I've never been able to really justify it. I however have stumbled across a winchester 70 chamered in .308 that looks pretty nice, and has the hogue stock that I would change already done. It is described as "This is a...

I've stumbled across some pacific durachrome dies, I'm wondering if anyone knows about these dies I've done some searches and I can't seem to find anything about these. Also anyone know if they are steel or carbide? Thanks in advance, UltimaSE

I just recieved a dillon 450 press that I purchased from a private party. Interestingly enough he told me that it was NIB and I didn't really think anything of it, I figured that it was rebuilt since dillon stopped making these quite a while ago now. I just recieved it yesterday, it looks like...

what do you guys think? I have a guy offering me 4500 primers which is made of up, 1500 winchester small pistol, 1500 federal large pistol, 1000 winchester large pistol, and 500 cci small pistol. I'm a bit wary of the federal primers as I've heard some people here talk about them being very soft...
