I got a box of reloading equipmment and it had a ton of old brass in there too. I was plucking out the 9mm to throw in the "bin" and I noticed these crimped mil-surp cases were in there, along with some amerc brass. The Amerc brass is going to the recycle bin, but what can I do with this...

Today the CMP North store opened again, and they had a reserve of some Inland M1 Carbines. Fairly nice selection of both Underwoods and Inlands there, but I was after just the Inland and a Garand. I have found this one... It is S/N 5470915, and it has the Inland barrel with a stamp of 9-44...

I am needing a couple extra mags for my CZ75. I am going to add this to the collection in shooting IDPA. 12+ rounders would be perfect. What are good ones? Stick with CZ originals?

I am planning on going to the CMP store when they reopen on the 6th of September and picking up a M1 Garand (maybe a Carbine too). I am expecting to be overwhelmed with a plethora of choices, so how do I choose one? Muzzle gage, Throat gage, wood, serial number. Where do I start? Anywhere to...

I am looking at a new Browning BAR rifle that needs a hunting load for it, and need to find a place to start powder wise. I will be loading Hornady 139gr BTSP bullets in some freshly unloaded Federal cases. Both Primers and Powder are unknown/unordered at this point. I am placing a large...

Hornady is giving me free bullets for the opportunity of buying some of their stuff. I am entitled to 1000 of one variety, and 2x100 of some other varieties. I bought a Lock&Load AP press and 2 die sets. Now what should I get? I shoot a lot of 9 and 45 in competition, but don't need premium...

As you may have seen, I have placed a new Hornady Progressive press on my bench. Now that I think it is staying, I need to outfit the bench with some Primer Pickup tubes. I would like about 4-5 for each size so I can load them up for an hour of work and go to town. Do I need the Hornady ones...

I just got a new Hornady Lock and Load progressive press all setup and started to get the case actuated powder measure set for where I want it. I am having difficulty dropping a consistent 4.3 grains of Clays. My measured drops run 4.9-4.0 and no consistency at all. I cleaned up the whole...

I have been eying getting a smaller pistol to tote when I can't carry my normal 3" 1911 around. I didn't think I would wind up with a tupperware gun, but I found the lightweight nature calling me. I got a Kahr PM9 to fit the bill. This thing is only 14oz empty, and fits in approximately a...

I have been commissioned to fix my Mom & Dad's Star pistol. It is a BKS Starlight model. It needs a firing pin. Any good places to get a firing pin for this model?? I googled the model and came up with e-gunparts.com. They are quoting 30-60 days for availability. Bob's Gun Parts in...

Got a question on Minnesota's permit... I'll be on our annual vacationing on the North Shore in a few weeks, and I just noticed that Minnesota accepts my Michigan CPL. It is a MN permit to carry, but is it your choice to carry concealed or not? My carry method is concealed, and just want to...

I see Powder Valley carries these hardcast bullets for a pretty good price. I am having a hard time finding a good source locally for cheap. http://www.powdervalleyinc.com/EEBcast.shtml So, are these Bushwhacker bullets any good? I would be using the 45s in 200gr SWC. Thanks.

Just after picking up the Dan Wesson Pointman 7, I figured it needed something... Here's the base version: And here it is with some additional Stainless and different wood: That is a Smith & Alexander magwell in stainless with a flat mainspring housing. This is a one piece unit, and well...

Should one lube the lever prime arm on the classic turret press? I found it likes to annoyingly stick every once in a while in the "priming" position even through multiple strokes. Makes it fun if you don't catch it before depriming the next case. Any tricks to making sure it always falls...

After I got my new CZ75 home, I noticed a factory target in the box. I thought it was pretty neat, until I looked it over... Should I be happy with a dispersion of 97mm??? Pretty wide spread. I was expecting better from all of the rave out there. Maybe a bum copy? I know it isn't a...

Does anyone have this safe? It is a bargain compared to the GunVault, and I was just wondering if it is a good one. It's got a light, spring door, shelf; so it seems perfect, but experience will sway me. It will be used for the bedroom closet for one or two carry pistols, depending on what...

I am loading Hogdon HP-38 (same as Win 231) with CCI large pistol primers, but I can't find anything for charge data on these lightweights. The only thing I found is that the loading should be a little more than a normal 185gr loading because of the void in the bottom of the bullet. My goal...

Well, I had a fair amount of Ben Franklins sitting around and collecting dust. I figured that they needed to be spent on something, and some new shooting irons seemed like a good exchange. I have on order (didn't have the specific models in the shop): Dan Wesson Pointman 7 in 45 CZ75BSA in...

I am looking to pick up a CZ75, but am confused. Some variants are DA/SA, some have decocker, and I have seen reference to a SA version. CZ's website didn't seem to be clear. Which model is the one that is carried in condition 1? This is the one I want. I will be using this for matches, and...

Just getting setup to start loading on a Lee Classic Turret. I have the Pro autodisk powder measure. Not opposed to getting the adjustable charge bar if needed. I am planning on loading: 45 - 185 or 200 gr for competition use. Lighter loads, but still Major PF. 9mm - 115-130ish gr, minor PF...
