I got it today and it jams constantly. I managed to get 2 primers in the tube and the next one flipped over and got stuck in the tray. Took the tray off, slide the cover back, cleared it, reassembled, jam. Rinse and repeat 8 times. What's the deal? These are Winchester SPP.

My buddy's son is having his bar mitzva in March. He is really into WWI and WWII rifles - loves to shoot mine. He's also a walking encyclopedia and loves to get into the minutia of a given weapon. I was thinking about getting him some books one different rifles. Any recommendations for books...

I decided to load up some .45 ACP today. I used the same dies, set up the same way they were from my last session. I ran through 150 rounds or so of a mixture of brass from Winchester, Federal, Aguila, and a couple others. I'm using the same bullets I've been using. Grabbed three random...

In the spirit of continually improving my reloading room, I decided I needed a better way to store shell plates than stacking them on a Gladiator Garageworks hook. I found a guy on eBay who sold holders for various presses, except Hornady. I contacted him and he said he couldn't get a hold of...

We decided to buy our son a .22 for his 6th birthday coming this July. A buddy asked if he could bring his boys over to shoot this weekend. Not wanting mine to feel left out, we gave him his present early. Up to this point, he's only shot a Nerf gun. We rested the stock on a sandbag and got...

I've always wanted a Thompson, but couldn't afford one. Bought a Sten Mk2 20 years ago and have fun with it. I got hit by a drunk driver last August and have some of the insurance settlement left. I really want to use $20k of it to buy a Thompson. I tried to use the gangster movie angle with...

I'm trying to set up a pistol range with 20" wide steel targets that simulates the same width of the Army M9 target when viewed from 25m. The math is escaping me, so before I start drawing scaled diagrams, I wanted to see if anyone here can help me out.

I bought my son a Red Rider. Planned to cut the stock down - he's got about an 11.5" LOP. When I got it out of the box, I realized that it's going to need more work. The lever action to work the pump takes more effort than my cheap Daisy and the trigger feels like it's 15lb. Is this just a...

I have 5 stamps on my trust. My biggest reason for the trust was the ability to share the items with my kids when they are older. Right now, it's become a bit of a hindrance, mostly because my wife would have to go get her fingerprints taken and she would know I was buying expensive toys. The...

I bought this combo a few weeks ago and finally got out to shoot them today. I got my windage on, but I've run out of elevation adjustment. POI is consistently about 1.5" below the POA. I'm shooting at a range of about 15 feet, doing a coarse zero. My experience with similar optics are the...

PSA said they haven't tried it. They did say that both lowers were dimensionally the same. I have one of th their Colt 9mm mag lowers, which uses the same mags as an Uzi, but slightly modified. I'm wondering if anyone has put one of their AR-45 uppers on the 9mm lower. .45 ACP uzi mags are...

The spring on my primer slide/shuttle keeps popping off the axle. I looked at it, and the coils closer to the plate attachment point are further apart at rest than those further out. I wonder if it is worn out. Tried to find them online, but have only found them at Midway. Guess I'll have to...

I recently bought a Glock 42 for summer carry. I usually wear cargo shorts or cargo pants and am looking for a holster with good retention and stability in a cargo pocket. Anyone have any experience with the Recluse TS Cargo? I can't find any real reviews on it.

I bought a Glock 21 and am looking for a chest holster to carry it when I'm out in the woods, sitting on the tractor, and in my climbing stand. I've narrowed it down to either the VTAC Big Rig or the Man Gear Alaska Gen 2. The VTAC doesn't have mag pouches, but has MOLLE loops. The MGA has 2...

Has anyone rechambered one of these? Is it feasible? I imagine that some work would have to be done on the hammer to change where the firing pin stops. I haven't seen any spare parts for sale, other than springs.

I'm debating on threading my Tikka T3 Hunter. I have a Howa 1500 that I threaded for a can and really enjoy not having my hearing damaged when I shoot 6.5x55. The Tikka is my primary deer rifle and I love it. Just not sure if I want to change it from stock.I'm assuming I won't lose an...

My range shelter has a deck now. Waiting on some labor to help me put the roof on it. In the meantime, I'm looking for ideas for building a bench out of 4x4s and 2x4s. Also have a couple of 2x6x12' left over. Any ideas for one? It'll be left on the deck - not sure if I want to permanently...

I'm trying to decide how to build the firing point for my range. My original plan was to build a deck with a cover, then add benches for rifles and a flat area for pistols. I'll surround the right side with mesh to catch ejected cases. Now I'm considering building a frame from railroad ties...

I have a PSA AR9 SBR that cycles 115gr rounds just fine, but doesn't work with 147s. The case usually gets extracted, but not ejected. Sometimes the next round in the mag gets stripped, but the fired case gets trapped in the works. I have yet to get an undamaged case out of the rifle after...

I was out zeroing my 300BLK AR with a 10" barrel and SilencerCo Omega can yesterday. When I was done, I went to clear the rifle, but I couldn't pull the bolt back. Ended up using my foot to get it open. The round was really dirty, as were the top two in the mag. I looked in the chamber and...
