    uni flow????

    So I just bought a used RCBS Uniflow powder measure off from eBay. it seems to work fine. but I have some questions. I know that there have been 3 generations of these. but I am not sure how to tell them apart. I know this is either a first or second generation. I noticed before bidding on this...

    Quick question about scopes.

    I have been on a (CHEAP!) budget nearly all of my life. and with one exception an old school Redfield, the best of the lower priced scopes are Simmons and Bushnell. they have held up to 45-70, 300 win mag, and several lower powered rifles. I did have 1 Bushnell (purchased in the early 1980" that...

    muzzle brake question

    last summer I purchased a muzzle brake, that has for the lack of better words, has a "tin can" around it, that pushes the gasses forward. away from the shooter. in this respect, it works well. the amount of blast that I experience is cut more than half. anyway, my question about the "brake" part...

    Carbon removal ?

    has anyone used this in firearms? ( https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B009EC4Q3W/ref=pe_3676590_803013790_em_1p_0_lm ) I have 3 questions about it if you have used it in a firearm. Q#1) does it work well? Q#@) is is safe for regular gun steel, as well as stainless steel? and Q#3) is...

    cleaning a cloth gun case

    "My main concern on anything like that is the possibility of corrosives and abrasives getting in and on the material, then the gun or other tool. Was this near an ocean?" no corrosives, no ocean. dumb kids turned the bottom of the hill into a giant dust bowl and everything within 50 yards of it...

    cleaning a cloth gun case

    in all of my years of shooting, I have never before had to clean a gun case. all of that changed Tuesday, when I tripped and fell with my rifle in hand. as far as I can tell, the gun is fine. but the outside of the case is pretty dirty. it is a Smith and Wesson black, AR-15 cloth case. I can not...

    S&W N frame sight ?

    when I bought my 44 magnum (629-6), I wanted a scope for it to hunt with. well, 20+ years, 3 moves and 2 kids later, I can not find the original rear sight anywhere. I looked online (Midway USA) and there are several sights for it. they list them by size, I don't know if that size is the blade...

    new toy, questionable results???

    the groups had opened up the last couple of times I had shot it. this was a sub moa barrel so I figured i should take a look since i now have a way to look and see. I KNOW that many of the small imperfections inside of a barrel mean nothing for a production gun. as proof the sub moa speaks for...

    new toy, questionable results???

    My daughter bought me a new toy for CHRISTmas, a Teslong borescope. I absolutely love it. but, now i have something that i do not quite understand. on my Remington 700, 300 win mag, there is some copper deposits, which I figure is normal. but, the last 6-8" of the barrel, all the way around, the...

    AR15 Upper swap

    "You'll have much better results with 11.5"." I want NOTHING to do with a SBR! The Gov't already knows more about me than I like them to. Ideally, they would know NOTHING!

    AR15 Upper swap

    "Are you switching cartridges?" no, staying with 5.56x45. I WANT to keep it relatively simple. pull pins, swap out uppers, and push pins, shoot.

    AR15 Upper swap

    I am thinking about picking up a 16" upper because my daughter struggles holding up my heavy barreled 20" rifle. it uses a rifle length gas system, and I know that a 16" upper will have either a carbine or mid length das system. what else will I need to buy to make this work? also, is it a bad...

    shotgun itch

    the only shotgun I own is on mostly permanent loan to my son. and it's a rather collectable Browning Auto 5 Sweet 16. neither of us would be in favor to try bp loads in it.

    shotgun itch

    well, that would require buying a mossberg shotgun prior to buying a barrel. so that's kind of a deal breaker.

    shotgun itch

    I have had an itch for a couple of years to shoot 12 gauge bp shotgun. but I am not sure I want to spend a bunch of money on a gun, just to find out a couple of months down the road, that I really just do not enjoy it. so I was thinking tonight, that i could just load up my rifle, make some...

    CERA SAFE

    I am contemplating doing a chamber / throat casting of my Remington 700. but I don't know how feasible that is without removing the barrel. I am thinking that if I pour to much in (into the locking lugs), I may never be able to get it out. Is this a real concern, or am I worrying about nothing?

    accuracy ? in a 5.56

    so I have had to take a break from shooting because of surgery. and with this much time just sitting around, I started wondering about the accuracy of my AR15. it has a 20" heavy barrel, and the accuracy has been ok, but not great. i am still trying to find a really good hand load for it. i have...

    lube

    so I have a question. I have in the past shot cast bullets in my 300 win mag. they shot fine, but I kept velocities very low so as not to get a lot of lead smearing. which I thought would be likely using Lee liquid alox. well, I have a Lyman Lubrisizer now. and I would like to try this again...

    Mystery Case

    "Hand made 45acp shot shell" oh, ok. I guess the 45acp shot shell thing would explain the military brass head stamp. that's pretty cool. "You can use a similar process to make blank (or shotshell) cartridges for lever-action rifles." REALLY?! So how would you do that for a 45-70? I had...
