    this is slick

    just for kicks but it doesn't really matter...i am leaning towards matching this with the stainless upper for a nice 2 tone look vs monochromatic upper.

    this is slick

    i bought a clearance upper for $40 and for $200 order you get free shipping which otherwise would cost $35. i filled up my order with 1 extra magazine, bedding blocks and this upgraded bolt( which was on backorder). a victim of "free shipping". i figured this way each upper has it's own bolt.

    it's for my mark 4 so it is easy but you can put it in any ruger mark 1-4. an upper with that finish would look amazing.

    i received my backordered upgraded ruger bolt i bought for my mark 4 clearnce upper from volquartsen. it was DLC coated and has their firing pin and extractor. it also has their recoil spring guide and 2 extra different weight springs. so pretty. too bad it will reside inside the receiver.

    irritating when they change profiles on the same bullet

    i am not too keen on the new bullet but will work with it since i have 2000 of them. i had problems feeding not with the cz but with a 1911. with the deep seating there's a case bulge mid case( like a 147 gr 9 mm load- that one has never caused problems). this feeding problem only happened with...

    .38 Special 148 grain wadcutter loads using Bullseye

    your bullet is a 148 gr dewc.the MBC 148 gr dewc has a similar profile(including the much maligned irregularities in the sprue end) i didn't get good results at 2.8 gr bullseye with it and it shot much better at 3.2 gr using lyman as a guide. initially, i loaded it ugly end out( so the gases...

    do you stop shooting before taking air travel?

    good to know with all the above replies and the amount of shooting i do is much less than what you guys describe.

    do you stop shooting before taking air travel?

    i have been paranoid about shooting a day or so before flying out of the airport especially when they used to have the machine that blasts a puff of air at you(that machine was shortlived at the TSA). does it matter? with nice weather it would be nice to shoot up until a trip if i wanted to. as...

    irritating when they change profiles on the same bullet

    math was never my strong suit but i rounded off the measurements wrong as well ha ha... so download the increments rather than upload. maybe the increased bearing surface will make it more accurate than the previous one.

    irritating when they change profiles on the same bullet

    the new one measures 0.642 vs old 0.656. they are both rn 230 gr hi tek coated 0.452 the bevel is less pronounced on the new one. i will just load 2 more 0.2 increments lower than current load of 700x to the range. i haven't tried out new loads due to the lack of primers. found 2 of the old...

    irritating when they change profiles on the same bullet

    i have used 45 ACP MBC 230 gr RN hitek coated softball for several yrs. the loads that work in my 1911 and sig 220 don't feed well in my cz97b so i've learned what COAL works for the CZ. i was still working through the last of my prepandemic 230 gr rn bullets and started on a box from 5/2021...

    Heavy 1911 hammer spring?

    wow another word i have never heard of. i thought it was made up. i would have thought a gymnasticator would just be called a cycling machine.
