    Anyone else noticed AR's don't seem as plentiful on gunstore shelves?

    Come to California!!! Our bullet button is illegal now. The Modern Sport Rifle will require a fixed magazine.

    Are these primer pockets swaged?

    In my experience, the ring around the opening of the primer pocket says crimped. I swag/uniform all of my brass at least once upon getting it. I use the Hornady primer pocket uni-former either by hand or in my "tired" cordless drill and go slow. I haven't messed up any primer pockets yet.

    File trim dies

    My dad gave me a new one for my 30.06, he was smiling. He knew someday I would buy a case trimmer, but that trim die works great and I have a file only for that purpose. I still use it!

    Frozen Bolster on Muzzleloading Rifle

    From what I am told, those drum threads get filled up with carbon and very difficult to remove. Just like the nipples, only hand tighten as those threads get filled up and difficult to remove. I would block off the hole for the nipple and fill with an oil, PB Blaster etc. overnight....

    S&W Shield

    They are stiff for a few, I don't use the slide stop to release, a good pull back on it is how we are trained. The slide stop is used just for stopping the slide and not to be used to release it or it wears out faster. I put the gun in the web of my hand and give a pull back fingers pointed at...

    High Standard Model B not cycling. Need advice.

    I shoot standard velocity out of my Lever Takedown. Sounds like a recoil spring is jamming up. Mine was worn flat when I got it. Got a new one in standard weight and shoots fine. Rimfire is a good source.

    First 45acp loads

    Mine is: 5.5 W231, 230gr Hornady round nose, Winchester case, Remington Large Primer and set at 1.230 or I say 12:30 - lunch time! Thanks to ArchAngelCD, my Colt Commander and Colt 1911A1 Government love the load. It's got a little kick, but groups awesome.

    Can anyone tell me what this rail piece is for?

    I'm sure you guys are right! but it looked to me at first glance a rail to mount to an 870 shotgun receiver to put a scope, red dot etc. No?
