I recently bought a lower receiver and a lower parts kit to start a new AR build. I already have a Bushmaster M4gery, but this is my first actual "build". I'm taking it pretty slow, and adding parts as $$$ allows. I've been shopping around for a collapsable stock and found that I can spend...

I need to get a sling put on my shotgun in the near future. I already have an Uncle Mike's Super sling (quick detatch) that needs to be put to use but I'm not sure how to mount a stud on the front part of the gun. I have a Mossberg 500 w/ a 20in barrel. Mounting the rear stud won't be a...

I recently picked up a CMMG AR-15 lower. I dont really need another .223/5.56 rifle but the price was right and I thought it might be fun to build my own AR over the next 6 months or so. Right now I am trying to come up with ideas on what type (caliber) of upper to eventually put on it...

Went to the local gun shop the other day and grabbed a couple boxes of what were labeld 66.5gr .223 bullets. Both boxes were sealed so I paid and left. Got home to find that the 66.5gr JHP bullets were actually 6.1mm in diameter. Definitely not .223... Like I said these are 6.1mm JHP flat...

Ok, newb question... What makes a load "hot"? Is it when you load to max. recommended charge, a bit over the max, or when you pull the trigger and your gun explodes?

I recently bought an assortment of vintage military bags, pouches, and miscellaneous field gear from a fellow TFL member. Lots of cool stuff that looks to be from the WWII or Vietnam era. Many of the items have no identifying markings and I honestly don't know much about this stuff at all...

Got out to the range this weekend to try out some loads I worked up for my .30 Carbine. Everything went smooth, and my groups were actually pretty good :) I was shooting 110gr Sierra soft point JRN bullets with 14.8gr of IMR-4227. I popped off about 30rds total and had no issues. The brass I...

I know that it is probably "against the rules" but I really want to transfer about 3lbs of powder into a generic plastic container with a screw on lid. The powder I have now is in a jug with a pretty small opening at the top. This makes it difficult to scoop out and load up the hopper on my...

My local gunshop doesn't really deal in reloading equiptment but they do have the occasional random reloading stuff, usually from customer trades. Anyway I was there the other day and came across this thing. It's in a blue plastic case, but I couldn't find any markings on it. It also seems to...

Hey guys, I recently bought a shotgun with a sawed off barrel. It's approx. 20 inches and will be mainly a HD gun. I'll probably end up buying another barrel for skeet or hunting... but for now I would at least like some kind of sights on my shotgun. Any suggestions would be appreciated!

Just picked up my first shotgun, a Mossberg 500. So far I love it! I would like to convert it to more of a HD purpose shotgun. Nothing over the top, just need some ideas on what type of modifications to look into. So with that being said... Show them if ya got 'em! :)

To keep from hijacking another thread I am starting a new one with a question about Remington 6 1/2 Primers. I recently bought 2,000 of them and have already primed about 500 cases of .30 Carbine. I also plan on using them for my .223 loads. I read in another post that the Remington 6 1/2...

Hey guys, I just bougt a bunch of once (maybe twice) fired .30 carbine brass last week. So far I have tumbled, sized, deprimed, and tumbled again (these cases are TOUGH to get clean!) Anyhow, I was checking the Case Length on each one last night. I believe my manual states 32.76mm as the max...

I had this in the back of my safe... It came along with an old M1 carbine mag pouch I purchased a while back. It looks kind of old, but I can't find any identifying marks on it. It's too thin for M1 mags and too tall for any pistol mags that I have. If anyone can tell me what type of mag...

I'm full of questions today... I picked these up at my local gun shop a while back. They're obviously pretty old but the bullets are in excellent shape. I'm not setup to reload .38 or .357 so I will probably end up selling them. I'm not sure what a fair asking price would be for something...

This thing came along with the Lee Turret press and some other stuff I recently bought. Not sure if it has anything to do with reloading... but if it is, I figured someone here might know. :)

I thought these things were supposed to be nearly unbreakable :D I was in the process of "pulling" approx. 250 rds of reloaded .223 that I received when I bought my press. I decided to salvage what I could from these rounds instead of taking my chances by shooting someone elses reloads. The...

Ok, this kinda sucks... I tumbled, deprimed, and sized around 500 pieces of .223 brass, only to find that the little primer ring things decided to stay in the primer pockets. I thought I was ready to prime these cases, but the primers won't fit due to the rings in the pocket. How the heck do I...

I'm sure this has been discussed more than once, but I want to be absolutley sure about reloading for my G23 before I go blowing stuff up (gun, hands, face, etc.) If anyone has any first hand knowledge to share, I would appreciate it. Is it unsafe compared to reloading for any other 40 S&W...

Some of my .223 rounds are not cycling in my AR-15. I bought an L.E. Wilson case gage and they all seem to fit fine... but I'm a bit stumped, because I'm still getting rounds STUCK in the chamber. It seems like the shoulder of some of the cases may be too "high"... Is there any way to lower...
