    CZ 2075 defective?

    Hi there, I purchased an older (2010) Rami 2075 P (Polymer) from the used market, recently. It had some problems, so CZ decided to replace the pistol for free, but with an alloy framed version. The polymer framed 2075 was discontinued in 2011. I picked up my CZ Rami 2075 today. This pistol...

    Powerbond Bullets in .44 Mag?

    It's time to order more projectiles for my .44. I've been buying two types of bullets...plated for .44 special to moderate .44 magnum and jacketed soft points for my rifle. I'd like to go to one bullet, but, of course, plated bullets won't hold up well when driven at .44 mag carbine...

    Blown primers in .44 mag? Breach face cutting?

    Ok, I took my new Henry Big Boy in .44 magnum to the range this weekend. Very nice rifle. I tried three loads, but one in particular is causing me a little concern... 240 grain Remington JSP, 1.60 OAL 19.0 grains 2400, Winchester Large Pistol Primer in Remington Nickel Plated Brass. I fried...

    Taurus vs. Charter Arms

    I have a desired to own a big bore snubnose revolver. Criteria... - .44 special (or .45 ACP...NOT .45 Colt) - Double Action - Barrel Less than 3 inches - Weight less than 25 ounces Ruger is definitely out, all they have are cowboy guns and 40-45 ounce .44 magnums. I'd normally look to S&W...

    How long did it take you?

    Just curious. How long did it take everyone to start reloading after they started shooting? I went through that period of excuses, too, for a few years. How many times does someone tell you not to buy a gun and the only reason is ammo expense? Well, I used to be that guy... For me, it's...

    Does this go back to S&W???

    Today I pulled out an eight shot Model 27 Performance Center purchased a couple of years ago. This weapon has seen maybe 50 to 100 rounds and was purchased new. Anyway, timing is fine, IF I cock the hammer and don't touch the cylinder. However, if I apply any pressure at all, even very...

    Gun smith won't return my gun!

    Long story short, I sent my M1917 S&W to an out-of-state gunsmith for restoration about 15 months ago. He claims the work was completed, but he hasn't had time to test fire it...at least that's what he's been saying since April. I've been asking for the retun of my weapon since then. Two...

    A good S&W gunsmith?

    I have a M1917 that's in need of some TLC. The weapon is out of time, has some endshake and isn't locking up that tight. My local gunsmith is a bit lacking, so I thought I'd try online. I already called the factory, but was told they won't work on anything that old. So, where is good place...

    Mabye I was wrong about EAA?

    I bought an EAA Witness match originally in .40 S&W (not a good choice for this pistol), that had a problem with a loose safety. Anyway, my gunsmith has been bugging EAA for parts since November. Last week, I told him just to send in to EAA. Well, it arrive yesterday with a new safety (the...

    Group Photo!

    Well, decided to get the "gang" together for a group photo for insurance purposes. I thought I'd post up! The M53 is semi auto, but the Vector behind it is Class III...

    Converting an M53/MG-42 to .308?

    Hi there, I do own an NFA weapon, but unfortunately when it came to shopping for a belt fed weapon the full autos were out of my price range! Anyway, I ended up with a Wiselite M53 semi-auto instead. I'd like to convert to .308 from 8mm and have a few questions. I thought I'd have some luck...

    Armchair Commando Exposed!

    I have to laugh at a friend of mine. He has a basement full of ammo and talks a good game about handguns. He's always on me about the 10mm Auto and my revolvers. (Why would anyone use those? No one issues a 10mm for a reason.) Or how bad my FAL is compared to the AR-15. He's entitled to...

    FN customer service is great...

    Ok, bought a used FNP-40 two weeks ago. USED, not new. It had some issues with the slide not locking back. FN fixed it for free and shipped it back to me. Total return time was exactly two weeks. It was also inspected per my request. What an easy company to do business with. Now that's...

    I hate progressive presses.

    Ok, so I'm going to put a spin on the turret vs. progressive debate you read all the time on these forums. I decided to get back into reloading last year after taking a break from it. So, I decided to buy a Dillon Square Deal and a cheap Lee Turret. The Dillon was going to be for large runs...

    Lee Auto Disk - Triple Stack Experiments

    Hi there, I posted here a few days ago looking for feedback on those that have modified a Lee Auto Disk to use three disks I did a few tests today with one .308 case dropping charges of Reloader 15 with the new set up. The setup... - Used two 6-32 x 2 screws. These work, but could be a...

    Triple Stacking a Lee Auto Disk?

    I have the double disk kit for my Lee Auto Disk and was wondering if anyone has tried triple stacking the disk to throw higher charges? I've found only a handful of posts on the web and using the search feature, but no real details. (I have a Perfect Powder Measure, but dislike it due to it's...

    3 Hole Turret in a 4 hole Lee Turret?

    I have a Lee 3-hole manual turret press and I'd like to add auto indexing. Unfortunately, Lee has discontinued all of the auto index parts for the 3 hole! But, I can switch to a four hole inexpensively. Will the old 3 hole turrets work in the 4 hole press? The problem is, I have 12 plates...

    Here is a solution for Witness Jams in .40/10mm.

    I've read quite a few threads about the EAA Witness on this board, so I think my fix might be able to help someone here. As a lot of people have found out, the 10mm and .40 S&W factory mags for the large frame Witness pistols are nothing short of awful. My first solution worked, but it was a...
