    Primer Shortage

    I noticed a month or two ago that the price of primers seemed to be suddenly going up. Now high prices are being replaced with "Out of Stock" flags. I know there's a war going on, but what's new, it's been going for roughly 4 years. Ever since the last great primer shortage 15 or or so years...

    Red Dot vs. Holo RD

    I tried a search on this but to no avail. I'm thinking of putting a RD sight on my AR15, but know almost nothing about them :o. I've noticed that the holographic RD's are gnerally more expensive than the non-holo's, therefore they must be better in some respects. Could someone please educate me...

    "Seeing" the shot cloud

    Try taking a young person along if one is available and have him or her spot for you. I remember having trouble with low house station 6 many years ago, and various people (all too old to see the shot) had told me I was leading too much, not leading enough, or stopping the swing. Nothing helped...

    Which news network do you believe is most trustworthy/reliable?

    Other I voted other. They are all in business to make $$ and push their social-communist agenda. I get my news from the www and talk radio.

    Purchasing Ammo -- When did it become a crime?

    Wal*Mart I'm sick and tired of listening to everyone complain about Wal*Mart. If you don't like them, don't shop there! It is free country you know. And quit your bitching.

    Mini-14 vs .30 carbine?

    The two are so different that it is difficult to compare them. The .30 carbine was intended as a CQ weapon for GI's who couldn't master the 1911 pistol, hence it shoots what is essentially a medium power pistol cartridge. The Mini 14 is more like a cowboy version of the AR-15. To really answer...

    Ak-47 Stock Fit Problem

    Adjustable Stock TIMC, fine looking piece you've got there. I studied Tapco's website and apparently what you have is the AK T6 adjustable stock. Installation looks straightforward, did you have any trouble? My Bulgarian has a 1.6 mm receiver rather than the more standard 1.05, so some trimming...

    Ak-47 Stock Fit Problem

    I tried a search on this but didn't find much. My Bulgarian stamped rcvr AK has a polymer stock that doesn't fit me at all. With the butt in my shoulder "pocket" it's nearly impossible to align the sights. To achieve comfortable alignment I have to litterly rest the stock on the top of my...

    AK decision, please help

    Global Trades Yesterday I picked up a new Global trades SSE-85C2 more or less on impulse. I'm very well impressed by it, the trigger is excellent and general quality seems good. Haven't had a chance to shoot it yet, maybe tomorrow. I paid $530 but I'm sure they can be bought for less, probably...

    Looking to Buy an AK-47

    Thanks Thanks for the many replies, fellas.:) From what I've learned so far I'm thinking that for my purpose a Vector may be a good compromise between $ and quality. I'm presently searching for more info on them. I assume that the receiver is pressed steel (what I want due to weight) but would...

    Looking to Buy an AK-47

    I've always been a pistol guy but I have a sudden mad urge to own an AK-47, problem is I don't know much about them. I see that Gunsamerica has Romanian AK's (claimed to be new) complete with bayonet, slant muzzle break, sling, 3 mags (20, 30 & 40rd) and other goodies for $399 + 29 S&H (from...

    Ammo can sources

    I have purchased many ammo cans from CTD in the past and have received ones in good to very good condition. Unfortunately my luck ran out on the last order, they were absolute junk! Will try a new supplier for the next order.

    How Many are NOT Comfortable with Condition 1 Carry ?

    I used to carry a 1911 in condition one, but on two occasions the safety somehow worked itself off, I'll never know how. Now I carry a DA. What is the conventional wisdom regarding a firing pin block safety, would it increase safety in condition one? I realize they are controversial, but for...

    Do any primers hang up in your 550?

    The only trouble I've had is with CCI large pistol primers (I load rifle on my Rock Chucker because the qty's are small) jamming in two of my three pickup tubes. No problems with the magazine tube or with small CCI primers. I'm in the process of changing to Win primers, haven't had any problems...

    Old Timers Quiz

    Yes, I was talking about paper shells before the star fold crimp, I should have been more specific. All I remember about the .357 ammo was that it was Remington in about 1965. I also remember reading an article in some gun rag about soft bullets being the bane of the .357, unless one...

    Old Timers Quiz

    You don't have to be over the hill to take this quiz, but it does help. Can you remember when: [list=1] Ithaca, H&R and Iver Johnson were still in business? Shotgun shells had roll crimps? Factory .357 ammo used soft swagged bullets that leaded the barrel like you wouldn't believe...

    Open Carry Reactions...

    Here in rural Utah it's not that unusual to see someone with open carry. I've never seen anyone pay the slightest attention to them. My mind set is such that they make me feel slightly safer. :D
