guatamalen surplus I've ordered two cases of this stuff. The first one was the "salt water" variety, but it shot just fine. And after cleaning the brass for reloading, found that there is nothing wrong with it. The second case arrived and it is absolutely perfect looking. So either way its...

Does anyone know if CLP will attack brass like Brasso or other cleaners will. I have some crusty surplus ammo, and a quick swipe with CLP really helps clean it up.

well they're not surplus they're remington and winchester, but in the 500 round packages. I had some surplus tracers and don't recall this much problem. The winchester ones seem the worst.

I'm having the same problem with .223, so this is normal? I trim & measure every case so they are REALLY close in length, then when I seat the bullets I get wild variations in OAL. I'm using kinda cheap bulk bullets could this be the culprit? Or am I overlooking something?

I tried loading some 54 gr tracers and after half a dozen I have yet to have one light up. Anyone else having this trouble. I got them from Cabelas and they are obviously pull-downs. I am only shooting about 70-80 yards, do they take longer to light? Also I loaded those 6 quite while ago...

Afetr discovering building a lower receiver from parts was a snap....I ordered a stripped upper and barrel kit from Del-Ton. I've been studying the assembly page on AR-15.Com on how to put it together. From what I can gather if the "barrel extension" (not a 100% sure I know what this is yet)...

1.) I am looking for a complete AR-15 upper- A3/A4 style receiver with 16" HBAR and M4 handguards-pre-ban/no-ban format-any pointers? 2.) What is everyone's opinion on Hakko(?) optics, is it a get what you pay for type deal? (ie. save my nickels for aimpoint) 3.) Anyone very heard of...

Ditto on the IC idea. The closer to east central the better.

Go Hawks! I haven't noticed much Iowan activity in the short time I've looked around here, so a gathering would be cool. The farther east and the more central the better. Later :D PS: where is this Matzel Bridge place?

Ah Ha! OK, I looked at the front sight base and there it said: S, very small RI(with circle around it), 3 It also has A2 flash hider and bayo lug.

I currently have a P97 and would like a set of adjustable sights. Any experience or pointers here would be appreciated. :D

more help I had looked here once and checked again, but there are no matching markings on my rifle. :confused:

OK, here goes... in .223/5.56 cal. - I bought some "once fired" military/LE brass off e-bay. I swedged the primer pocket on about 10 of them and noticed it took very little effort to do this and virtually no resistance to seat the primers compared to commercial brass (but this LE/MS brass...

OK, on my Ar-15 the make of the lower (PWA) is stamped right on there but I didn't see where the upper had any such markings. But then again I didn't look very hard. Also I read somewhere that PWA only made lowers which makes me wonder where the rest of it came from. Any pointers? Sorry if...

Recently I noticed a local discount tool store was advertising those "rock type" tumblers really cheap. I've also seen them in Cabelas,, etc. type catalogs advertised as case tumblers. Any experience or comments :) ?

1.) I just received a batch of once fired .223 brass. The headstamps are either WWC 66, 86 or 96 and LC 01. I assume the LC is Lake City 2001. Does this stuff have crimped primers, and how do I tell? Also, If so how do I fix it? 2.) I read an article on another website( the Fulton Armory...

Is it worth it? - other than the enjoyment of doing it, cost-wise it doesn't seem to be any less expensive than WWB.(maybe my math is bad) -for reference WWB 40 round box for approx. $7.50 @ Wal-Mart. _any tips? maybe I'm overlooking something, I'm just starting out with this caliber.

1.) Does anyone have info on Pac West Arms. I just picked an AR(my first one) and I don't live very far from Milan, IL and I'm interested in this company. I would have liked an RRA one, but I understand they are somehow related. 2.) Is 16" the legal limit on barrel length for these?

Looking to buy an AR style rifle. I'm located in east central iowa. Anyone have any leads/experience? I haven't run across any in my travels. Not really interested in internet purchasing.
