... BEsides the normal love em or hate em Glock discussions, any technical issues with a mod 26 of mid 90's vintage? I have a chance to pick one up reasonably cheap. Maybe it's becasue I already have had my teeth cut (on plastic) with a S&W M&P9C, but I have to say it's calling me. It that it...

I know I've read it around here somewhere but a search has turned up dry. Please refresh my memory, is proper sequence for prepping bottle neck rifle cases: Lube, size&deprime, trim, debur, tumble?

Fell in lust with a near new/98+% Browning Hi Power today. It just felt SWEET in my hand and was obviously high quality. This one is gloss blue, was assembled in Portugal and wears aftermarket xs 24/7 express dot night sights. Serial # is 245NW62xxx. Wondering if anyone can tell me when it was...

Need to place a substantial order an was hoping for SOMETHING off to help me justify it in my own cheap mind :D

I'm new to rifle reloading but not to reloading. So today I started out with some brand new Winchester brass and tried to make a few test loads for the new(old) 96 Swedish Mauser in 6.5x55. Since the brass was brand new, I didn't re size it. I just primed it and ran a deburring tool on the...

Is there much difference. I See in some load tables that they have slight variances in safe max loads but can't find out much more.

Went to the GS today to pick up some supplies to load for my new (old) 65.x55 Swedish Mauser. Picked up some H4350 and 1000 large rifle primers but when I got home found they had put magnum primers in the bag. So, safe to use these in my moderate loads? Any pressure/performance differences to...

Was offered a US ( Savage?) made Enfield today in decent condition with the above mentioned markings. Stock may have been refinished at some point but metal was good and original. Action was smooth and bore was shiny w uniform rifling (to my eye anyway.) I know the owner and he has shot it so...

I've seen a FEW hints that this powder works well for this old cartridge if your looking for reduced velocities. No real recipe's/refferences though. Anybody here ever run 4198 in this cartridge? Any refferences? I've got 120 and 140 gr bullets and a WHOLE lot of this powder so would be up for a...

Admittedly, I don't do much military /rifle shooting. To date, I've shot my AR-15 and M1 Carbine in a few competitions only. That said, in taking my teenage son to the last match, we both got thought the "vintage rifle " class(@ 200 yds.) was interesting. Since all the best shooters are...

Some time ago I was searching for a good "do all" round for my collection of 45 acp handguns. Since I was shooting revolvers with moon clips as well as 1911's I needed something that would not catch on the cyl edges like a SWC might. Also since I was punching my fair share of paper, I wanted...

HI All, Ive got a 2nd model Winchester M1 Carbine that is a joy to own and shoot but has a slight " anoyance issue". The trigger assembly/group has some slop where it dovetails to the receiver. This causes some felt play in the whole lower group. It doesn't seem to effect accuracy but it bothers...

Thinking about heading out to a local NRA Service rifle Match in two weeks. I've got the Rifle ( DPMS CMP) and have read up on the course of fire but am unsure of what capacity and how many mags I need. Any help appreciated.

Somebody gave me a 1000 heads of 147 gr lead truncated cone bullets to use up. I'll be shooting them out of a Rger SP 101 revolver so cycling is not an issue. I have W231, unique, Bullseye, Clays,red dot and blue dot handy. I'm looking for loads that will be safe and moderate in recoil/flash...

Have a primer stuck in the feed tube of my dillon square deal. Not sure why but it's stuck GOOD!. I may need to drive it out. What should I soak it in to disarm the primer before i pound on it? p.s. Really getting to hate this dillon!

Picked up a minty winchester 1200 Police "stainless" for $200 even last month. Sweet pointing and sharp looking gun with dark wood furniture against the matted stainless finish. Is the gun really all stainless or is this ( as I suspect) a coating? If so, what is the finish and how durable can I...

Last year I started experimenting with conical bullets for my 38 practice/plinking rounds. Midway had them in 125 and 140 gr. Got 1000 each. I like the fact they punched a "seeable" hole ( like a semi wadcutter) but worked well in speedloaders too. The lighter weight/ lower recoil was a side...

I've been poking around for a few weeks looking for a M1 Carbine. Preffer Mil surplus to new production but they are fairly scarce around here and pricy when I do find one. . Anyway, I just found a National Postal Meter M1 Carbine, ser # range 44xxxx, adjustabel rear sight, button safety...

Since I'm all set up for reloading anyway, I was thinking that I would reload some 2 3/4" mid level buckshot loads for practicing /toying with my Win 1300 HD pump gun. I'm thinking along the lines of 1.25 oz of 0 shot at 1125 +/- FPS or so. Although I've got plenty of experience with...

Hi, All , just got a like new Bersa 383-A for a great price. The gun shoots great but has a bad habit of dropping the mag every 3-4 shots. Seems like the recoil just jars it loose. (No , it's not me.) Wondering if anyone knows where I can order a (suspect0 mag release. I'm figureing the nub that...
