I'm having trouble installing my 30 rounds mags in my SKS. Am I not holding my mouth right? The only way I can get one to go in correctly is to pull the bolt back. How do you get the bolt to stay back?

A friend of mine has a .43 spanish that he wants to reload using cast bullets and blackpowder. I have personally reloaded for years and am familiar with most all reloading processes however this is a different realm. I guess the powder is still measured by volume. Do the cast bullets need to be...

OK could we please start over here? The other thread I started got just a bit confusing but I think I may have it now. If you have a "pre"ban sks that had a folding stock installed before the ban it's OK......? If not, you can't put a folding stock on it....... Now on to the...

Since I just purchased an SKS of course I looked into the reloading side of it. Why is brass so much? And bullets aren't very cheap either. This has to be one of the few rounds that is cheaper to buy than to reload. Is there another brass that could be trimmed down/resized to make sks brass?

I just bought an SKS with a composite folding stock, 30 round mag and a large bag of ammo for 150 bucks. I think I did OK. And I don't have to wear gloves when I pick it up either.

OK I got a magellen 330 and boy was it tough figuring this thing out. It was like learning a new language. Besides that when it comes to nefangle gagets I'm not exactly the brightest candle on the mantle. This thing is neat.;)

OK what's the deal with a mini 30? I keep hearing that they are not very accurate. What is that cartridge they shoot anyway? I have been told it's a .308. Seems to me to be a short .308

OK hold on to your seats but my wife asked me is there any particular gun you want? (it's another story why) Well there is as a matter of fact. The only thing is I don't know what it is. Let me describe it and see if any of yall out there can name it. First it MUST be .308. It must have...

Hey guys, I want to purchase a laser sight for either my browning hipower or my 1911. Which sights are good, which ones do I need to stay away from.

I think I have found my niche in gun work. I saw a sig that had a slide engraved and it got my interest. I have ordered the book " art of engraving" from brownells. Anyone got any other recomendations? By the way I'm a machinist/welder so the vise, tools will be no problem.

I am thinking of an auto for my next purchase and have it narrowed to either M1 Carbine or the MINI 30. Which would you choose and why? I am leaning towards the mini30 because of the 308 cal. I understand they are not very accurate but would like the challenge.

A friend got me to check out his Fathers 1911 issued to him before the korean war. Come to find out it was made in 1917 and has a value of $750.00 in 60%. The gun has no blue on it at all however it is in pretty good shape. It appears to be mechanically sound and the action is pretty smooth. On...

I have read several threads on assorted topics discussing composits and firearms. I have been working with/around composites for around 22 years now and the idea of a firearm constructed from these materials just doesn't thrill me. My gun has to be all metal, except for the grips, buttstock...

I am in the process of building a single shot .45-70 and was wondering what was a good BBL length? The blank is presently 27" long after machining I could have a 26" bbl. What do yall think?

For you guys out there who have been reloading for a while. I sat down and loaded 200 rnds for my .45 the other day. I'm using the piggyback for the RCBS. I must have checked the powder measure 3 or 4 times. Satisfied, I installed the powder measure and took off reloading, never checking my...

OK I'm really starting to do alot of gunsmithing. I am a machinist/welder by trade and love to tinker. I began reloading about 8 years ago. After reading a few books and joining AGA I think it's time to check and make sure I'm not breaking any laws. First off I don't work on anyone else's guns...
