    Bolting Dillon press to workbench

    I recommend drilling the holes and securing the press with lag bolts. Back the bolts out and the run thin super glue down the holes. Allow it to cure. The threads in the pine will be much harder now. You can now run the bolts back down into the wood. Try to avoid cross threading. It will be...

    Marine Special Operation Command Order 4000 Colt Rail Guns

    It sounds like another niche order by one of the service branches. The military isn't giving up on the Beretta any time soon... Illini http://www.berettausa.com/usarmypurchasesadditionalberetta9mmpistols/

    Smith and Wesson Sigma 40 SW

    I like Precision Bullets 185 gr. with 4.2 grains of Titegroup. Use a Winchester primer. Fun and soft shooting out of the Glock 35...Illini

    S&W Model 39-2

    Recommend a trap/skeet gun

    How about a nice used Remington 1100 semi-auto with Remchoke tubes? A semi auto makes skeet a lot easier. If you decide to go with the 870 then you should consider a Limbsaver recoil pad-- they make a world of difference...Illini

    Favorite Powder for .40 S&W

    Try Winchester WSF. A good power that fills the case nicely and helps avoid double charges. Another popular selection is Hogden Titegroup. Titegroup requires less powder for a given load and is pretty inexpensive too. Recoil for Titegroup is very manageable. I use 4.2 grains of Titegroup...

    Hornady LnL AP Powder Measure Problem

    Mine does the same thing. The vibration causes the bushing to turn and walk out. I solved the problem by using reinforced teflon tape. Looks bad, but it works...Illini

    Sportsmans Warehouse in Lewisville, TX not carrying reloading supplies now?

    The Sportsman's in the Des Moines, IA location is pretty much cleaned out of powder, regular primers and bullets. They are usually low in stock. As soon as they get restocked, they get emptied within a week. By not getting restocked they are leaving a lot of money on the table...Illini

    Gun shop salesman tells me Springfield 1911's are "crap"...

    The Springfields are nice guns. Unfortunately the one I shot with the factory 2 piece guiderods did loosen up on several occasions. Replacement guiderod and you are good to go...Illini

    Browning BDM opinions

    The BDM is a great gun. It is probably the most slim full size 9mm service pistol. The gun is accurate and gives you a choice of DAO or Traditional Double Action via a selector switch. The gun takes 15 round mags. During the ban, the high caps went for $100/ea. Now that the ban is over CDNN...

    Hk Usp Breaking!

    Lots of folks sending out their USP's to gunsmiths for "reliability packages", but not their 1911's. Wait... is it the other way around? :D

    Which P99 would you prefer?

    In guy-terms it boils down to this: Blonde = AS (Very Good) Brunette = QA (Still Good) Redhead = DAO (Infrequent & often not as good) :evil: Illini

    Another 'Gun for my Wife' thread--but this one with criteria!

    You can't go wrong with the S&W 3913 Lady Smith. All metal construction, single stack, manual safety, accurate, and good handling. Sounds like the perfect fit...Illini

    Odd Witness feeding problem

    Your problem is most likely magazine or feedramp related. That said, mine likes lots of lubrication. Unless it is highly lubed, mine will jam. Polish the feed ramp and try to run some oil down the slide groves. I bet that your problem disappears...Illini
