I intended thread to be somewhat whimsical thus the word "nostalgia'. I think changes in manufacturing techniques, materials and processes and just a vastly changing world would make it extremely difficult to equate today's pricing. A good example is occurring to me now. I have been casting...

I've had these 30-06 rounds since early 70's, I have no idea where I got them or how old they are. Scale was purchased in early 70's, box put to use as cover for trimmer ever since and is about to disintegrate. Scale appears to be still identical to RCBS 505.

Had this same issue with Mini few yrs back, random failures using my reloads and various commercial loads. One day I had some of the Russian steel cased ammo and had failure every 2nd or 3rd round. I thought there's got to be a hint here somewhere and its not lacquer or steel case mechanical...

At 70 yrs old now, I really appreciate my Hi Point 45, M1 carbine, and Henry Big Boy 45 Colt. It's getting real hard to hold that old Garand up!

Agree with Redline, I spent years trying to prevent rust to my " in the white" SAA. Ezox proved to be the winner.

I have Uberti SAA and Henry Big Boy both in 45 Colt. I load a 200 gr cast with Win 231 and Hornaday 250 gr XTP with 2400. Use in in both guns. I would like to play with loading a 300 gr for the Henry.

I Bought an Uberti SAA in the white engraved. Just hold in front of you and you can watch it rusting before your eyes. The product that finally stopped the rust in its tracks was Eezox. No, I don't work for them.

According to news report, the gun was not even brought to the school, they were only talking about shooting each other with a bubble gun.

I have had my G I carbine (Inland) since 1967. Have had only a hand full of stovepipes and failure to feed up to now. I broke a M2 bolt at the extractor. I can't begin to estimate how many thousands of rounds have been through it. It would not be near my first choice for hunting or defense...

I wish to buy a AR platform 308 20in barrel, probably Armalite or DPMS. I see many with and without muzzle breaks. Does a muzzle break really have much effectiveness on a 20in heavy barrel in 308.

Only 45 colt hand loads I have used so far are my own cast loads 200gr (.452 dia) for Uberti SAA, used for general plinking and target shooting. They work just fine. Just picked up new Henry Big Boy 45 Colt and would like to load 240-260 gr jacketed for use in both guns. However the bullets...

After paying more attention to the You Tube videos like I should have done when I started this thread, I found that All the FF videos were authored by the same person even though there were several different people in them. I guess I'm fairly naive, what reason could anyone have do this. Is...

Thanks Connex, I agree, it just looks fishy. But one video shows two 716's side by side same mag, one is flawless the other has FF. The claim is that the bad one was sent to Sig and returned as "could find no problem". I have no experience with SIG but having that happen with no regress after...

Failure to feed. Mostly You tube. Some other forums also have noted ff problems and ref to "single shot Sigs". Love to find someone here that has one. Will check out PWS.

I wish to buy an AR platform 7.62 Nato rifle. The Sig looks just about what I am looking for, but after doing a simple google search for reviews one would think this is the worst rifle ever made. I could not find anything on it in THR search. I just can't believe this rifle can be that bad...

I assume PTR has the same fluted chamber as HK91. Is there a problem reloading these cases. I recall seeing HK91 cases looked pretty marked up by flutes. Thanks for any input.

Even though I am of an older generation and my toys are M1 carbine, Garand and M14. Even though AR lowers and Uppers are becoming accessories to the optics and bling. Even though it’s been said that than an AR is just a Barbie Doll for men. What I see at the Range is the Ar crowd having a...

Gee, I hope you don't see me, I have a Hi-Point carbine full of bling. Your eyes would probably roll out of their socket.

I have to wear bi focal's or progressive lenses. The only way to see iron sights is to crane my neck back to see through the bottom portion of lens which is ridiculous. Also of coarse the target is blurry. I have tried those drug store reading glasses choosing a power that is a compromise...

Thanks, saw that but will require some work because of ambi safety. But may be only choice I will have.
