    Not trying to rehash UN gun ban, but...

    I heard on a TV news program, I think it was tonights Hannity program with Dick Morris, that if Hilary signs the UN Gun Treaty (assuming it passes the UN) the US will be bound by it until and if the Senate opts to throw it out. It would seem, according to Morris, that the Senate isn't tasked...

    Please recommend a barrel for an AR build

    Here's what I'm looking for. Fluted 20" polished stainless 1:7 match grade .223 Wylde chamber and head space matched bolt. I'm flexible. I've been studying Noveske, White Oak, Lilja, Krieger, Lothar-Walther, McGowen, Shilen, Hart, Compass Lake, WOA, Wilson Combat, and others. Most do not have...

    Questions on full auto parts & the AR

    Doing a search here didn't reveal any recent posts on this topic, so I thought I'd check for updated info. For example: It's my understanding that the possession of fire control parts that can be used to make an AR15 operate full auto is not illegal provided one does not also have an AR15 that...

    My first 223 load results

    The weather allowed me to go to the range the first time this year and try out some of the first loads I've made for the AR. I shot the low end of the test loads and checked the cases. They looked OK except there was a flat spot on the neck near the throat of most cases, and a shiny spot right...

    Loading .223 driving me crazy

    I'm preparing to start loading .223 for a 16" AR15 with 1 in 9 twist. After reviewing the posts here I saw that H335 with a 55 gr FMJ-BT would be good to try (thank you). I know about working up charges and the need to feed your gun what works best for accuracy. Setting all that beside, the load...

    5.56/.223 verification

    I know you guys have answered this over and over, but please forgive that I'm just a bit dense. I have a bunch of new 5.56x45 brass I want to reload. The 5.56 is said to have a longer throat than the .223 unless the gun is chambered to accept both. I assume that does not mean that the 5.56...

    What should I do with this thing?

    I have a Winchester 1906 circa 1919 that someone stripped. It has pitting but the mechanics are in good condition. I would really like to have it refinished but fear the prep needed would cost an arm and leg. What should I do with this old gun?

    Marlin 39AS Firing Pin Removal

    I bought a Marlin 39AS that was excellent, but when I tried it out I had misfires and a very light indent on the casing rim. I broke it open and the insides looked like it had never been cleaned. The firing pin was obviously packed with crud which restricted it's free movement. I cleaned it up...

    Military ammo info please

    I have some boxes of Argentinian millitary 45 ACP ammo marked Fabrica Militar "Fray Luis Beltran" 11.25 x 23 mm, COMUN LOT. MUN. 5 - FLB-78. It's copper coated round nose. Question is if this ammunition has corrosive primers and is alright to shoot. I assume the FLB-78 dates it 1978, but not...

    Loading Large Rifle Cartridges

    Found out tonight when my son set up his 45-70 dies in our Lee Turret Press that it grabs the tip of the bullet as the turret starts to rotate. Simple enough to fix by removing the indexing rod and turn the turret manually. But my son has a 300 Weatherby Magnum, and obviously the Lee press...

    1975 2nd Issue Colt Detective Special

    Colt stopped making the second issue Detective Special in 1972 when they went to the third issue. They started building it with a shroud around the cylinder pin and they dropped the .32 Colt N.P. But I have a Second Issue made in 1975, serial # M18xxx. It has no shroud around the cylinder pin...

    .44 special handload question

    I'm just getting started in hand loading. I'm working on .44 specials to be fired in a pair of Rugers (New Model BlackHawk and Vaquero). I have Unique powder, 180 and 200 grain Hornady XTPs, and CCI 300 primers. So far it looks like the following loads would be good to work up to (I...
