Recently purchased a new Ruger LCP Custom and took it to the range yesterday for the first time. The gun is having problems resetting the trigger when fired. Every other round or so will not reset the trigger, but when I cycle it manually it will work every time. This happens on multiple...

I'm reloading a batch of 223 Hornady 68gr HPBT, 25.8gr of Varget, and 2.26" OAL. This is a compression load and I am getting a ring of bullet deformation when seating the bullet. I am currently using RCBS small base 223 dies and was wonder if the RCBS competition seater plug will fit my dies and...

How long does a typical local USPSA match with roughly 30-60 people take? I have only shot 3-gun and tactical shotgun matches which ussually have 60-80 people. The matches ussually take 8-10 hours, which for me isn't worth the 10 minutes of actually shooting that I do sometimes.

I just got a captured gen4 recoil assembly from glockmeister in today and was expecting the end of it to have an allen key that allows you to change springs. This is not the case though as the end cap/screw is just a smooth surface. Does anyone know if this end cap is actually a screw that is...

Just started reloading .223 and have one question after a test session at the range. I tested two loads, one 55gr and one 68gr. What I found odd is that my rounds fired with the 55gr were dead on windage wise, but the 68gr loads where 3 inches to the left of my point of aim. I am thinking that...

I am shooting my first USPSA match this weekend and am wondering how much ammo to bring? I believe the match will be 5 stages and I plan on bringing 5 pistol mags with for my Glock 21. I am also not sure if I should shoot limited or production division. Right now I am leaning toward limited...

I picked up an adapter from Gun-Guides ($16) which allows any standard die thread powder drop to slide into the Lee powder through expanding die or Lee rifle charging die. Thought I would share a pic because this little adapter works great and makes reloading a bit easier.

Recently got in some 230gr plated hollow points from Ranier. The powders I have in stock are Unique and Red Dot. I used 230gr lead data from my Lee manual which states the following. StartingPowder MaxPowder Min OAL PowderType 4.5 gr 5.1gr...

Here is the latest update from the Minnesota Gun Owners Civil Rights Alliance on where we stand. Committees in the MN House and Senate are in the process of drafting bills. See the latest update linked below and be sure to write your representatives! http://www.gocra.org/news/

My little brother works in south Texas at oil rig sites for weeks at a time. These drill sites have a no weapons policy, but this is commonly broken because people keep a firearm in their car for defense when driving the roads of south Texas. So once they pull into the confines of the drill site...

Reaching out to all those Minnesotans out there or anyone willing to help support a good cause. The NRA does a great job on a national level of defending the 2nd amendment, but on a state level here in Minnesota the Gun Owners Civil Rights Alliance are the ones on the ground getting things...

Just thought I would let everyone know since primers are in short supply. They have TulAmmo large rifle primers in stock in all quantities.

The purpose of this thread is to show people with standard aluminum AR mags how to create a "Magpul" without spending $8 a piece for them. I was shown this by my team leader on day 1 when I got to my company in the Airborne Infantry and all members of our platoon were required to do this to...

Would any other SVT-40 owners be interested in having boyd's gun stocks make a replacement stock for the SVT in the birch laminate style? I would like to shoot my SVT a lot, but I don't want to crack my stock. Which from what I have read is a problem with the SVT. So I was thinking that if...

Walked into my local gun shop today and it just so happened that he had a SVT 40. Apparently a truck driver had blown his clutch and needed cash so he traded it in. The numbers show that it is a 1941 Izzy model and I paid $990 for it, my wife is going to kill me if she see's it. I just couldn't...

A few weeks ago I got a surplus Mosin-Nagant (1938 Izzy) from Bud's and it was in excellent shape. After my first trip to the range I found that it was hitting roughly 9-10" high at 100 yards. Then I did some research and found out the most Mosins from this period shoot high because the...

Having some issues with my 229 the last 2 trips I made to the range. After I shoot roughly 50 rounds it starts to have some failure to feed issues. I have been using Reliant Ammo 180gr FMJ and HP ammo. I need to test the gun out with some different ammo, but I was just posting to see if anyone...

When I was in Afghanistan we use to search a lot of houses and we use to find a lot of interesting firearms. However, unlike the soldiers of past we were not allowed to ship any weapons home that were manufactured after around 1895. I use to find lots of Mosin-Nagants and Enfields. One M1 Garand...
