My first order from Missouri bullets was unbelievable. Ordered on Friday , found them on my front porch Monday. Measured the 45ACP Lead truncated cone bullets. Exactly .4525 " in size. Are they always this quick? Are they also dead on in size? I took a chance and want to know if this is...

3 grains of red dot with 95 gr. lead boolits works just great in my 380 makarov. Accurate , no leading , little kick , always functions . The only problem I have ever had was a friend that limp wristed with this load. No matter how much I tried to explain it to him, the gun mis loaded when he...

EHL, If you reread the Mid-Way post, He had a new top plate made and uses the press as a single stage press. It isn't a new turret. It is a new top plate that replaces the existing cast top plate. I am sure that at normal machining costs you could buy a cast press with the 1 1/4 bushing...

I opened up the lee and removed any obvious flash from the original manufacture. I then lightly lubed with some silicone grease. Put it back together and carefully adjusted the tension screw. This helped a lot. I still had some leakage so I repeated the process. Watching carefully the whole...

Just got a new (police trade in) FM HiPower. Nice gun, good condition,Shot little carried some but in nice shape. Pulled out the Magazine disconnect to improve the trigger. When it was all back together I was reinstalling the pin that holds the disconnect in and my forceps twisted. I...

I have 13 round Mec-gar mags purchased from midway. They work great in my FM.-D

I have been watching Gun Broker and as soon as one gets sold a new one appears. Starting price is $275. I started looking around and a couple of on line wholesalers had them available. As best as I can tell they are coming from an importer CIA in Georgia VT. Does anybody know more about these...

Just finished loading a batch of range pick up 45 ACP. While priming them, I came across some that had small pistol primer pockets. They were marked" WIN NT 45 AUTO". Can you guys give me any info as to why they have small pistol primer pockets. Is there some advantage to the small pockets...

Saturday I bought a used HiPoint C9-9mm. Took it home, tore it down, cleaned it, and oiled & greased it. Shot it this A.M.. 75 shots . One failure to feed shooting some 121gr. truncated cone cast lead bullets. These same bullets have given me troubles in my Walther P1 and Hi Power. Other wise...

Kanook, I have a .380 webley and till I could get some 38S&W brass I used 38spl brass cut short. It worked just fine. Never had a split case. Fired the cases about 10 times each with fairly light loads and no problems other than slightly bulged cases. 38 S&W cases were available from...

MRAYW, Do you know why so many outfits are selling Simmons scopes at such a discount?

I see Simmons scopes being advertised at really cheap prices. Are they going out of business or what? Who owns them? I heard that Mead had sold them but don't know who bought the company. I have read that their new system of cross hair adjustment was really good but have not read any tests...

Emotionalism is possibly the problem. The cop was probably scared silly of a civilian with a gun permit, a little intimated by dealing with some one that was his elder, and then to see the gun cocked and ready to go off ( in his mind ) almost put him over the edge. Many people respond when...

How much is the Colt compared to the comparable Springer?

I have been using a RCBS powder measure for years and it works just fine for rifle loads. I am now loading 9x19 & 9x17 and have noticed that on the light loads ( 3-4 grains of red dot) it isn't doing the job. Every once in a while it throws a light charge. A friend recommended a lee measure for...

9mm in 38 cal? If I remember correctly, Lee Jurras used 9mm bullets in 38 spl. and .357 mag. in order to get higher velocity in his super-vel loads. The easy fit allowed the bullets to go down the bore with less friction (swaging) keeping pressures lower with hot charges. This started the...

I am thinking about a glock 17. The problem is my trigger finger has a bend (sideways) in the second joint. This causes the tip of my finger to drag on the inside of the glock trigger guard. Would it be possible to bow out the bottom of the guard 1/4 inch using heat? What temp does the glock...

Can't find? Thanks for the help but I can't find the Uncle Mikes 59007 on the web site. This is the 3 finger groove grip found on the old model 60. Any more help would be useful. Thanks, Dalerj

I have been trying to find some Uncle Mikes 59007 grips for a 638 Smith&Wesson with no luck. Are they still in the grip business or have they sold out? Thanks, Dalerj

:) Tuner ,thanks for all the info. Your tricks worked just great. I have a Springfield milspec that I have changed the msh to a Smith & Alexander and I have done some trigger work on it. The trigger is still heavy. I would like to know how light I should go on the main spring to bring it down...
