Hi all -- I was at the range earlier today with a friend and witnessed a double charge. The magazine blew out of the bottom of the frame, the trigger was cracked, and the extractor snapped. Fortunately, no one was seriously injured. This was startling, to say the least, and has made me...

I'm in a bit of a pickle and need some general input on a 'what would you do?' type question. I currently have a 300blk AR15 I built out of pretty much the highest quality commercially available components . (Noveske upper/lower, Geissele trigger, DD LPK, JP Silent Captured recoil buffer...

Hi all, I'm just looking for some feedback in regards to the purchasing of firearms as investments. I've noticed that on almost every purchase & resell, be it a handgun or rifle, I've made money. Which rifles have the highest resale value during panics? Because I'm assuming AR15's will be the...

Hi all, I've had a Hornadly LNL Progressive for a couple of years now & have always resized/deprimed, primed, flared, charged, seated, and crimped in a single cycle. Since getting a SS tumbling kit & having a desire to clean the primer pockets to a shine, I do all of the resizing &...

Hi all, I'm looking for a bit of insight on a potential 1911 upgrade. I currently own a SA Mil-spec, which was my first handgun purchase. If I were to buy the V-bob, I would most likely sell my Mil-spec to help pay for it. I can get the v-bob for ~$1480. Is the upgrade in...

Alright guys, I have about $900 to spend on a .308 bolt action rifle and optics (looking at variable 6-20x, but I'm not very knowledgeable in the optics department). I will be reloading. In your opinions, what is the best combination of rifle + optics I can buy for this price? I plan on...

Hey guys, I was just wondering what you thought about the value of the Hornady LNL Classic Kit. From Cabela's it's $250, and because of Hornady's promotional offer I'd get 500 free bullets in .308 at 155gr...

Hey guys, Not sure if this is the right forum, but I'm restoring a Winchester 190 that I grabbed from my grandparent's house and was wondering where I could find spare parts. The gun has a good layer of rust and is generally covered in mud/dirt. The front sight is chipped and the rear sight is...

Hey guys.....I have a quick question that could determine my purchase in the near future. My interest in firearms began a few years ago and I've made 2 purchases thus far and bought quite a bit of reloading equipment. I have a Springfield 1911 mil-spec and an AR-15. My question is, "Would you...

Hey guys, I'm just throwing a hypothetical out here. I know this would be a pretty inadvisable combination, but does anyone have an estimate on what size of Bullseye charge it would take in a .223? What would accuracy be like? Velocity? Safety? Thanks again.

Hey guys, I've been looking for something new to throw on an AR and simply can't get a straight answer. I'm looking for a good red dot/holo that won't cost a fortune but has a clear and defined reticle. I only want something that is 1x, and it needs to be able to be used with a 3-4x...

I currently am reloading in .45 ACP and I am going to begin reloading in .223. Just want to make sure that I have everything I need and nothing I don't. 1) Shell plate and plate carrier #4 http://www.lg-outdoors.com/proddetail.asp?prod=SS_40687 2) Lee PaceSetter Dies...

As the thread title states, what is the best possible combination of parts you can get from a bargain bin ar-15 at CMMG? I'm not really knowledgeable about the quality of AR brands other than the general ABCD's. In other words, "What should I root/hope for?" I know they piece together...

I believe I read somewhere that the .45ACP shell plate and carrier fits the .308Win perfectly. Right now I am reloading .45's and thought about converting to a .308 setup. Is the info correct? If so, do I only need the dies at this point? Thanks a ton.

Hey guys, I was just wondering if any of you had any favorite budget magazines that function reliably/effectively at a good value. They are for my 1911 that punches paper, so my life isn't going to depend on their function. I simply want a few more so I can spend more time shooting and less...

Hey guys, I've been using the Lee Pro AutoDisk powder measure. I'm loading 200 grain lead RNFP in .45acp with Bullseye. The Lee reloading manual gave the starting and max loads at 4.0 each. Starting: 4.0 grains Max: 4.0 grains Unfortunately, the .46 hole in the disk gives 4.2 grains...

Hey guys, I'm about 900 rounds into my lee pro 1000 and the shell plate has stopped rotating with the upstroke. I was wondering if any of you have had this problem and know of how to fix it? Thanks again

Alright.....I just started reloading today. I got about 7-10 rounds pumped out carefully and very slowly to make sure I was doing everything properly. At about the 10th round, the shell plate carrier got stuck at the top of the stroke and detached from the Ram. I have absolutely not clue what...

Straight forward question: "Do you guys get buyer's remorse after your gun related purchases?" I'm just asking because I need consolation. So tonight I decided to purchase my first reloading kit, and I've also been thinking about picking up an FNP-9 @ $389 off of gunbroker. I went through...

I know this is probably an odd question, but I'm getting ready to get into reloading this summer and only have a couple of empty cases/boxes. While I could just throw the 45's in a tub, I'm kindof compulsive about organization. Do you know where I can buy a dozen or so empty 45 acp foam/plastic...
