I'm interested in free floating my AR and I like this YHM forearm but I'm a bit confused. In one picture they show a slot for the front sight. Is that the carbine? http://yankeehillmachine.com/store/product631.html Basically I have a fixed front sight, and I want to keep it, but install this...

The other day I got a case stuck in my Lee .223 full-length sizer die and I removed it following the instructions provided. I also put the die back together as the directions instructed but after I tighten the decapping bolt with the rod being flush, I run a case through and it will slightly...

I'm just not understanding it. When do I use them and when don't I? When I reloaded 9mm with my Lee dies it didn't mention a crimp and I'm not sure my bullet seater made a crimp. What does a crimp even look like? How do I know it it's producing a crimp or not? In Lee's manual he mentions...

I'm going to start reloading .223 pretty soon. I am wondering what dies I should be getting. I am specifically reloading once fired brass for my AR. Studying threads it seems that most suggest I use a full-length sizer to de-prime and resize. However using a collet neck die it will allow the...

I shot off my first reloads. They were 115 gr FMJ 9mm over 4.9 gr & 5.3 gr WSF on Winchester primers. I was so nervous on the first shot I completely missed the target which is hilarious. After nerves settled, and I realized my gun wasn't going to blow up, the accuracy on both rounds is the...

I just bought the Lee Breech Lock Challenger Kit to get started. I just loaded 25 9mm rounds last night and I'll be testing them this weekend. I will start reloading .223 and 30-06 soon and I was referred by many to pick up Lee's Modern Reloading 2nd Edition. Much of the .223 and 30-06 reloads...

I have a PX4 and I'm looking for a holster but I know nothing about holsters so naturally I need some advice. I am going into law enforcement so I'd like a holster that could be used by a law enforcement officer. I don't know if that means it has to have a snap to hold the gun like you see on...

I'm going to pick up a pair of nightsights for my Beretta PX4, but I keep swaying from Meprolights to Trijicon. I like and dislike things about both so I'm looking for people with some experience to help me out a bit. The Mepros are cheaper but not enough to totally justify them over the...

I've been practicing with my gun and snap caps a lot but I've been running out of drills. I was wondering if I (and others who will see this) know of any good home drills to practice with. These are the drills I know and do: -Placing a coin on the slide and dry firing -Just plain old dry firing...

I got my PX4 a few days ago and have been out once with it. I absolutely love it so far. Only thing that is kinda bugging me is the mag release. I was practicing a lot of reloading today, trying to always keep the gun pointed towards my target. The checkering on the mag release is very abrasive...

So I finally got some time to hit the range with my brand new PX4 Storm 9mm. I put 200 rounds through it today and it ran flawlessly. Although I've been running trigger drills with snap caps I caught myself flinching on the DA pull. The tripper pull also seems longer with live ammo, even though...

Just got my upper and I tweaked my detachable carry handle using RIBZ method so now I can sight in my AR at 100, 50/200, 25/300. However they mention that it's good with the small aperture, not the 0-200 aperture. That got me wondering because I thought the different sizes just meant different...

Well I made a deal with my fiance that I wouldn't buy another gun this year. But we never said anything about parts. I've been wanting to build an AR really badly and with my budget, buying pieces over the months of this year would work out really well. I've been looking at all different types...

I've been looking into this and am thinking about doing it, first to a $100 Marlin for practice and then for my .223 bolt gun. Couple of questions though. I've seen differing instructions regarding the process. One thing said to apply duracoat over blueing but another recommends lightly sanding...

I took a hunter safety course earlier this year and found out something a little troubling about me. I've always been the weird kid who writes, eats and bats left handed, but does absolutely everything else right handed. Throw, shoot baskets, punch, cut with scissors and most importantly shoot...

Alright. So in the next couple of months I'm going to be getting a tactical scope with turret target knobs. Right now I'm leaning towards the Millet TRS-1 w/ .1 Mil adjustments. I've studied how to use Mildot scopes and even done some practice games where I figure out range and then adjust the...

I just picked up my new 870 and there's a red trigger lock on the gun. There aren't any instructions on how to remove it and no tools to do so with. I'm not sure how to take it off. I'd love some help. Thanks

I just bought an 870 express and while at the range today they had a trap club shoot. There were many serious shooters there with some crazy setups and some very nice guns. I saw a few that had ridiculously tall ribs. What is the point of this? Also, just what is the point of the vented rib...

I asked this in a CA based forum and got no responses so I figured I'd give it a shot here. I just got a shotgun and I'm looking forward to getting my hunting license very soon so I can take upland game, non-waterfowl birds and small mammals. But I'm a bit confused on where it is and is not...

I just bought an 870 express and I'm still waiting for it which means I'm daydreaming about accessories for it. I saw a video for the supercell and I'm impressed but looking at reviews on this site I've heard that the pad doesn't fit well. I'm a little unclear of how bad it is though. If anyone...
