I spent a lot on my AR mostly for target and varmint shooting. I use quality reloads and am very consistent with under 2" groups at 300 yards and .75" groups at 200 yards I am using a BSA Sweet .223 they can be had for around $80 online. It has quick elevation adjustment and has held zero with...

I love the rosewood grips. That is what I have been looking for. This winter I may try to make a set.

So far I really like mine. It shoots accurately. I plan to be shooting cowboy action next summer. Someone put pearl grips on it and one is chipped does anyone make replacements still so far when I find them online it is always out of stock

Thanks guys. I just picked it up on a trade. I was just curious. It is a straight shooter and is in good condition. I am getting into cowboy action this is part of my new habit

Any know a web site I can check my serial number to see when it was built. I tried the search but tap talk on my phone won't search the forum

Well the rifle is heading to S&W they have had a problem with some of the .308 AR's cycling. Thanks for the input guys I will update when the rifle returns and we get it to the range

So far we have fired several brands of brass from quality Hornady hunting rounds Remington, a couple of mil surplus brass, tula steel and federal brass too that I was there for. By the way my AR has no issues with steel Tula or Silver Bear just clean it after every trip to the range as usual. I...

Thank you RC

First off Monday a call is going out to Smith and Wesson but wanted to see if any one here had any ideas. This is a buddy's rifle not mine. When shooting one mag will run great then the same mag it will not eject and if it does eject it seem to not have enough power to chamber the next round...

I bought an Eastwood kit and a few colors of powder. Small items you can use a toaster oven. check Craigslist for ovens gas or electric. You will need a well exhausted place to spray it.

If I understand correctly you can still use a case sized to your bullet. Fill a pan with bullets standing upright pour in your lube once it hardens up slide the sized case over the bullet and it will cut the lube nice and smooth then eject it out with a nail or something as a push rod. There...

Thanks for the input. As stated I preferred to error on the side of caution and will probably let it evaporate in something that can be disposed of. I was more curious than anything about what everyone else did.

I used a .450 case and nail for mine it works great at just about .452 for my 1851 navy colt. And being free is nice too only cost me about three minutes to make it.

I have been looking into building a wet tumbler and had a thought about disposal of the water that now contains lead. I know there is debate about how much lead you are exposed to but for argument sake I feel better safe than sorry and tumble my brass outside so the risk of lead dust exposure is...

Well with .22 ammo still hard to get in quantity I picked up a Hi-Point 9mm for my son to plink with and move him up from the .22 he is 11 this month. So far three range trips I am very impressed. It is accurate and reliable.
