• Possible Downtime Alert

    I am working to migrate THR from the current cluster to a new one. I would like to get this done before the weekend, but it's unclear what the timeframe will be, as testing is still ongoing. As I am writing this the new (rebuilt) host is doing a burn-in to ensure that everything will keep running under load.

    When the migration happens users will see a Cloudflare message indicatating it cannot connect to the server. This is expected, and depending on how the migration goes this may last from 30 minutes to 3 hours - I won't know more until testing the various migration options is complete and I have finalized the plan.

    More information is available in this thread.

    As always, thanks so much for your patience.

    Classic Turret (help)

    I had problems with the safety prime system on mine, and the cause was the poor assembly of the feed chute from the tray to the dispenser. Snapping the two halves completely together tightened up feeding and eliminated problems with dropping and flipping primers.

    Enfield stock repair

    Thanks for the advice, guys. Yes, the QD swivels were added by just punching them into the wood of the buttstock and forearm. There should be no structural stresses on any plugs, the originals were part of the metal fittings of the rifle, not screwed into the stock in any way. The original...

    Enfield stock repair

    I recently acquired an Enfield No5 Mk1 "Jungle Carbine" suffering from a relatively mild case of bubbafication. In this case, the original sling loops had been removed (the back loop by bending off with a pair of pliers, ouch!) and quick-detach swivels added. I plan to return it to original...

    Married Guys: Does your wife shoot with you?

    Taught my wife to shoot. She now has her own XD9SC, of which she is most fond. We haven't been shooting together lately, as she's pregnant and we've been told it's bad for immature ears to be around shooting... even inside the womb, apparently.

    P 14 Enfield Mystery

    I'm not an expert, but my No4 Mk 2 has a similar hole in the side of the receiver. I have read (don't remember where) that this is a vent should a cartridge rupture.

    1) Obviously, being worn by the photographers. :) 2) Being held in the left hand, just in case the flash sets something off.

    I want an M1A. Picture request.

    For a good, all-around M14 style rifle, is the 18" barrel too much of a compromise over the std. 22"?

    Loose front sight

    I recently acquired a Norinco Model 98 shotgun, a clone of a Remington 870. Lots of home mods, one of which is a set of ghost ring sights. The problem is: the front sight blade is extremely loose in the dovetail base; I can push it back and forth with finger pressure. What's the best way to...

    Monster Hunter International: Review thread with SPOILERS!!!

    I'm still reading it... in fact only about 1/3 of the way in. A rollicking good read so far. If Amazon is out, order direct from Larry's blog using Paypal. Got it direct, autographed and with a patch faster than I typically get Amazon orders.

    First Loads Done But Saftey Prime is Giving Me Fits!

    The problem I had initially with the Safety Prime system (used on a Classic Cast Turret) was that the halves of the feed trough between the tray and the "head" unit were not fully snapped together. Primers would skew or flip, leading to primers seated sideways or upside-down(!). Snapping the...

    Anyone use Lee Auto Disk Adjustable Powder Charge Bar

    I had a similar experience using the adjustable bar with Titegroup, though my measured variation was only +/- 0.3 grains or so; small, but more variation than desired in a light pistol charge. I did not notice any powder on top of the measure. Possibly the wiper on the AutoDisk is worn? Two...

    reloads jamming in XD45

    My XD-40 does not feed SWCs reliably either. Adjusting the seating depth seems to have no effect. Typically, one misfeed per mag. Truncated cone bullets work just dandy. I'll be using those from now on.

    Copper plated bullets

    I use 155g Berry's Plated Bullets over 4.3gr of Titegroup. Light recoil, very accurate. I don't have a chrono, so can't vouch for velocity, but it's my favorite practice load so far.

    Such thing as too much tumbling?

    I bought an outlet timer at Wal-Mart. I set it for 3 hours, and let it run before I go to bed. Gets things nice and clean. I've found walnut shells will scour out the dirt and grime, but corncob with non-ammonia brass polish gives that bright "new brass" shine. Possibly overkill, but...

    What High Pressure Looks Like

    Good Lord! If they're getting relativistic velocities, no wonder the brass is showing pressure signs. ;)

    .22 Savage High Power, anyone?

    Does anyone out there reload the ancient and obscure .22 Savage High Power, known also as the 5.6x52R? A buddy of mine collects old (mostly pre WWI) guns, and picked one of these up at a show. Scandalized by the cost of factory ammo, he's asked if I'd be interested in loading him up some for...
