House role call vote passed the threshold with 5 votes or so it will go to a 3rd reading. In listening to the legislators in session a consistent theme emerged. If the situation doesn't warrant arresting the individual merely citing them, than how is it constitutional to take their property...

I'm not sure how low the bar actually is for "citations" or "arrests". I believe that there isn't much distinction on the low end of the spectrum meaning you could probably get either with a mere accusation and a grumpy cop. How subjective can either be?

.243 necked up brass with 120-140 gr over a stout charge of 1. Varget, 2. IMR 4350, 3RL15. I run this through an AR-10 8.5 twist, piecemeal build and do fine now that all the idiosyncrasies of the semi have been worked out. In a nice bolt stick like yours it should be vastly easier to reload...

OP, I asked myself the same question after a number of AR-15 variants covering a range of purposes ie. heavy long range bull barrel 24"s down to light contour 16"s. At that point, is was still looking rather bleak for black guns with the 2012 election in the offing so I jumped into the AR-10...

Bill would allow Vt. police to seize guns in domestic incidents Posted: Mar 17, 2017 1:21 PM EDTUpdated: Mar 17, 2017 1:23 PM EDT MONTPELIER, Vt. (AP) - A Vermont legislative committee has advanced a bill that would allow police to temporarily seize firearms from the scene of a domestic...

Just remember that each piece of hardware is a tangible investment, usually in the long run, appreciating rather than depreciating. It is relatively easy to liquidate but in the short run will likely cost you from purchase price (depending on the item / gun politics). I've found that shooting...

- recoils and jumps similar (proportionally diminutive) to big brother cal. semi's - operation / manipulation similar to big brother cal's - the biggest departure (training / practice purposes for carryover) from larger semi's is the ergonomics of a small frame / trigger reach altering...

Hi all, here in VT we have the latest bit of 'literal' gun grabbing legislation, seeking to obfuscate Constitutional rights. As what happens in a "frontier" state such as VT is likely to be visited on less gun friendly states such as yours, I think a open and broad dialogue on the tenets of our...

Thanks all..... What got me mixed up is I borrowed the rear most trigger guard screw from one of my LRPV's and it is a machine screw not a wood screw on that application & so happens to be the same thread as the bottom of the trigger mechanism. A little Devcon and a little milling machine work...

Hi all, I'm getting close to completing a new build but am having trouble with the trigger getting bound up when the action screws on either side of the trigger guard are torqued down beyond finger tight. Primarily the small rear most screw is the culprit, however the larger 1/4 28 screw...

To Gamestalker... thanks for your post. In general I haven't really though about that extra step of making the brass squeaky clean prior to priming. I did not prime prior to re-forming. What I did was heavily lube a bunch of brass prior to reforming then primed them all right after...

I'll have to try some spray lube / Q-tip. Thus far, I've been using that thick RCBS stuff for the roll pad. I generally just get a bunch of it on my one hand and rub it all over the case. Like I said, new at this... From what I've managed to read it's easier necking up than down. I...

I'm new to reforming brass. I am going from .243 to .260. I used too much lube on the starting .243 cases with a .260 die. As a result, the end product has the primer going off - delay - main charge going off a split second later. I have a bunch more sized and primed not loaded yet, can...

Great feedback! The 6 PPC is a new 'animal', have not heard about it. I generally gravitate toward utilitarian cal. / availability of components. 6mm shouldn't be too hard to find in bullets but the brass of 6 PPC, not so sure?... My next build will likely be in the 6.5mm realm, as bullets...
