In no particular order. M1A, M1 Garand, Swiss K31. Basic handloads for my Mosin was an eye opener showing the gun to be more accurate than I thought it would be. I really enjoy all my surplus guns.

Some reloading odds and ends. .312 expander for my 7.62 x 54 Russian dies that come with a .308 expander. Wilson case checkers in 7.62 Russian and 7.5 Swiss.

These and the Enfield jungle carbines make really huge fireballs best seen near sundown.

The gun must have a clear chamber to be considered unloaded. Removing the magazine is not enough.

7.62 x 54 Russian dies and case length head space gauge, also got one in 7.5 x 55 Swiss.

I tried one box of 9mm 115gr. WWB and had a primer blow out on a S&W 469. It blew back and and a piece jammed the firing pin. I think it is pretty hot causing the primer to blow like that. Have heard a few other people complain of similar issues. That is the only ammo line I have ever had...

I worked at a BP for a year. The people they hire for the hunting department is mostly pathetic. While I was there they hired an 18 year old kid to work the gun counter. They hired people that really had NO basic knowledge of firearms and put them behind the counter. I would often be brought...

Washington has exceeded the lunacy of California. No requirement here (yet). I took my hunter safety class in 1993 maybe. I renew my CCW every 2 years so there is that 4 hour class I have to go to.

I don't own a gun that doesn't function absolutely reliably on factory ammo. I must be lucky. My M1, M1A, AR's, 2 9mm handguns and a Springfield 1911. My AR's are one factory gun, one PSA upper, one I built fully with a BHW barrel. I reload 10-11 rifle calibers but the semi-auto stuff all works...

My $165 Harvester M1 Garand.

It sounds like they are supporting the First amendment without coming out and saying it. O'm okay with it but I don't see it lasting.

Not much concern with all the criminals carrying anyway in NYC I guess.

Here's what I got in regards to an order placed on March 12. I've ordered in the past and didn't think their service was out of line. I got my order on 4-3 We fell behind because of the snow storm.. we were closed on the 14th and had only 8 people that were able to dig out on the 15th.. we’re...

I made mine featureless for $40. $6 for a thread protector, $8 for a std mag release, 50 cents for some roll pins and $25 for a hammerhead grip. We've already got it figured out.

Simple friction from a rock can cause cause copper fragments to become hot enough to cause fires so you aren't all together safe thinking lead or copper won't start a fire. Keep a shovel with you at the range so you don't have to try and stamp out a small start.
