    Gun socks

    Every one of my firearms,pistols and rifles is in a Bore-Store,whether in the safe or not. I have been using them since the last century and never had any rust problems. On the Oregon coast,when it rains,it pours and does so very often. I occasionally spray them with silicon in a can.

    Ruger PCC FTE

    I replaced my extractor with a M*Carbo one. I found if the barrel nut isn't adjusted right all sorts of mischief can happen. I tighten down until the barrel won't attach and loosen one click.

    Is It Time To Stockpile Ammo?

    There is a worldwide shortage of nitrocellulose in these times because of the multiple on going conflicts. I read the other day we are also dependent on Turkey for TNT supplies. I'm sure we have to stand in line like all other countries. It is a sellers market and we are the end users of the...

    duty size gun carry for ccw

    I used to ask the wife if she could see I was carrying when we went to town. Her usual reply was "Who is looking at an old man like you". I never ask anymore.

    Rear bag suggestions?

    I've been thinking of buying a rear Protektor bag for quite a while but confusion sets in concerning the ear length and bag height between the different 13 and 14 series. I use a Caldwell rock Jr rest with a Protektor front rest. What would be the most versatile option for use on different types...

    Is CCI Blazer aluminum case fading away?

    I shot quite a lot Blazer AL 45acp back in the last century. It was surprisingly accurate and reliable in my Colt Commander. Out of curiosity I bought a box recently but haven't got around to firing any yet.

    Is Glock the Colt 1911 of the 1980s & earlier?

    I only own one Glock,a G48 MOS and a few 1911s,all Commander size. I had a 43X,but sold it on as my LC9s suits my need for CC better. I guess the 48 reminds me somewhat of a 9mm Commander,plus that I could mount a RDS and Streamlight on right out the box. I think of it as a good tool that fits...

    What's up with the Lewiston brass?

    Thanks for the replies. I should have searched and found Live Life's postings. I see the Speer/Blazer brass have the least thickness below the case mouth. I guess this the reason for my set back problem. Just to be sure,with the dies still in the LCT from yesterday,I just ran 3 inert rounds each...

    What's up with the Lewiston brass?

    I purchased some Speer Lawman 9mm ammo,shot off 100 rounds and decided to reload the cases with RMR 124 MW. I was at about the 25th round when the thought of set back checking entered my old brain. Sure enough the bullets easily slid into the case when pressed against the bench. Usually I check...

    The Springfield has Arrived

    I really like mine. 500 round count,no problems except one minor one. Get a 1.5mm hex key and some purple thread lock and make sure the rear sight set screw is tight and stays that way.
