    strange occurrence at my house

    what cars did you have in the driveway or garage? A friend of a friend had three cars, but only a two car garage. He kept his sweet 68 Camaro in the garage, along with a pick up truck. Some four door sedan like a Taurus or maybe a newer Impala he always drove back and forth to work.... he...

    New to 3-Gun w/ question

    Putting thedefensive in IDPA aren't they? I'd shoot more 3 gun but at today's panic prices if you go through a whole 30 round mag, there just went $15. :eek: I reload, but we would still be talking about $6 in ammo in every AR mag. My AR has 20 inch barrel, stainless. I would...

    The Great Dryer Sheet Experiment

    I've used odorless mineral spirits... A few drops into the walnut media while it is running. Then I let it run a little bit more to spread the mineral spirits around. I've done all three at the same time: NuFinish, used dryer sheets, and mineral spirits. It all helps keep the dust down.

    Lead basics

    I check every wheel weight that goes into my turkey fryer. I use either kleins/lineman's pliers or an old carving/whittling knife. My boolits get water dropped, right out of the mould. I give 'em the highly technical/scientific thumbnail test.

    Where are reloading components available (Not a Discussion Thread)

    I had looked into that one time. The .gov or the civilian contractor overseeing the auction makes sure you have like $10,000 in the bank all ready to go, almost like having a bond. Then there are a whole bunch of stipulations placed on how you can transport it off base, etc. etc.

    no way, man, that is such rubbish!

    I always hear stories of guys wearing blue jeans, smoking cigarettes while up in the tree stand.. drinking coffee, spitting their Coppenhagen out, and the deer walks right up to their tree, and BLAM! they bag it. But then the guy with all the scent blockers on, and Real Tree or Mossy Oak...

    NJ Republican Signs 10 Anti-Gun Bills

    I think if Christie gets the nomination, a lot of people are going to stay home on election day, and just by default whoever is the Democrat's nominee will win the election. I really, really wish we could split up electoral college points in each state.

    depending on what bullets you are reloading with, the Lee Factory Crimp Die is awesome. :D

    Gun love: At first sight, or after getting to know one another?

    I saw a stainless CZ75 on the cover of some gun magazine back in the 1990's. I have been in love ever since.

    What Dies for AR 15 5.56 Nato

    I went with the RCBS small base X sizing die. I trim to 1.74 and with the mandrel on the RCBS small base X sizing die screwed down, it keeps the brass from growing. No more trimming! :D

    Wheel weight purchase agreement!!!

    see if you can make friends with a mechanic at a car dealership. Or the small mechanics/garages. Yeah, I too had tried the big nationwide franchise tire stores. NOPE! They all contract out to recyclers. The mom and pop tire shops or the "Independent Tire Dealers" are your best bet.

    Sights for pistol caliber ARs?

    for a red dot on a pistol caliber carbine, I'd go with a C-more. They even make an all aluminum version and then there is another version with the built in rear peep sight like on a normal AR. I would guess that in 9mm or .40 S&W that past 100 yards the trajectory is like a rainbow. So just...

    Gun show purchases on Day 1...success!

    I am not at all related to the guy and it has been a few years since I bought 6 of the 20 round MecGar's for my Berettas, but for the magazines try googling "Greg Kote, LLC" (I think that is how it is spelled).

    Ultimate Auto for Dove!

    I took a sporting clays course last fall. My instructor loaned me his Beretta A400, with the anodized blue receiver. I shot it a lot better with it than my over under.

    Shotgun or AR for Home Defense

    Remington makes or used to make this TAC 8 double aught buckshot load. It has alot of buffer added to it, but because it is 8 pellets instead of the usual 9, it actually patterned tighter. The best though is that Federal Flite Control Wad. That stuff patterns TIGHT! :what: I'd rather go...

    Tumbler: brass going around in circles and not cascading - what to do?

    you guys probably know this already, but lizard litter from like Petsmart is crushed walnut shells. works just the same and is priced cheaper than anything sold for guns or reloading. I would rather have way too much media when compared to brass. Not enough media gives it like this log jam...

    M1A scout squad

    with an aimpoint or eotech, you should be good to go without a cheek riser. a normal rifle scope which has its front end (objective) in a bell shape, yeah, you might have to go with a taller mount so the bell clears the handguard/rail. I bought an M1A right when the 1994 AWB got passed. I...

    Carrying Handloads, yes or no?

    this is my personal opinion, but the chances or the odds of actually having to shoot somebody are so rare, especially if it was a home invasion. there was some NBC Dateline special a few years ago about some old engineering guy who had next door neighbors who were both defense lawyers...
