    Metal tab fell out of Remington 1100 12ga

    Any idea what this goes to? I'd like to get the replacement part on order before I tear the gun down and risk losing something.

    SS109 tolerances

    I ordered some "new" projectiles recently only to find that the seller was selling what they described as "sweep bin" bullets - bullets that fell on the production factory floor and could not be used in their sellable product. There are a lot of projectiles that look questionable. I want to...

    K31 rear sight base removal

    I can't find any resources on how one would go about removing the rear sight base from a K31. There is no screw head visible at all. There is a dimple that looks like it could have been a screw at some point but there is no screw head. It is just an exposed (tapered) through-hole in the bottom...

    68gr Hornady Poor Accuracy

    Just looking for some opinions - Rifle: 18" SS .223 Wylde 1:9 AR15 I shot some factory Lake City 55gr ball ammo to get the scope on paper. I quickly printed a 3-shot group on the bullseye at 100 yards. Group measured about 1.25". I then decided to shoot a group to see what the rifle was...

    I want to buy a stock for a buddies mossberg maverick 30-06. I have read that the maverick is the same as the ATR 100. Would the stocks be interchangeable? Can anyone point me to someone who would know? TIA

    44W brass Vs. 44 Magnum

    I went to a store today that sells used brass. I picked up a bag labeled ".44 Magnum" and noticed that one of the pieces looked different. It was labeled "44W". I brought it to the store attendants attention and he said that the piece of brass in question was different looking but still a .44...

    Min. Number of shots to create a trend

    I'm ready to start altering stuff in my reloading as well as my rifle setup. What is, in your opinion, the minimum number of shots required to assign an MOA to a batch? Also what barrel considerations do you take? Clean barrel and shoot three foulers per test? Or three foulers then a...

    Scope ring woes

    So I'm messing around with some lapping compound and a steel rod to check the ring alignment. After several adjustments I found that the rear ring rotated about it's axis. In short the front ring rotates and the rear is fixed except for left to right adjustment by the screws. But, the rear base...

    Pressure signs factory ammo?

    A buddy of mine bought a lot of items and gave me some loose 30-06 ammo that was stored in en bloc clips. I assumed the ammo was factory or loaded for a Garand. Went to the range to sight in a scope and play with some handloads. First shot came from the en bloc clip. Brass ejected fine but this...

    30mm scope mounts

    A buddy asked if I could order him some 30 mm rings online. I know very little about rings and this is all I have to go on: Is there any way to order 30mm rings for a 50mm objective with just this image?

    Winchester brass

    I picked up some new Winchester 30-06 brass (qty 50) thinking that new brass properly prepped would eliminate the most variables for a ladder test. First of I noticed this guy: I knocked the burr off and it is definitely scrap IMO. Another piece was actually shorter than the trim-to-length...

    Reloading for long barrel pistols

    I have been looking for a resource on this topic but can't find anything with good technical data. Any resources you may know of would be great. Haven't found any published reloading data for my barrel. I am trying to figure out what powder would best suit me for a .44 magnum contender, 14"...

    .38 Special reloads under minimum load

    I made a ridiculous mistake. After I loaded up 50 rounds of .38 special at what I thought was maximum load (3.7 grains WST), I realized that the scale was set to 3.3 grains. (My 1/10 grain slider was 2 slots to the RIGHT instead of 2 slots to the LEFT of the 5 that represents 5/10 grain) At...

    "T" on a shield logo AR15 stock

    Who manufactured this AR stock? I have googled "T logo AR15" to no avail.

    RCBS .38/.357 seated cutting LRN

    I am seating the bullet and crimping in different steps. I have two crimping dies (roll and taper crimp) and I have the bullet seated in the taper crimp die as low as it will go. I can see that the bullet seater is lower than the crimp ring so crimping is not an issue. I only see the ring appear...

    Kinetic puller cast bullet damage

    I made a rookie mistake and loaded some .45acp too hot. No pressure signs but the velocity I chronied the loads at is more than I want to subject my weapons to. I picked up a kinetic puller and it is doing this to the projectiles: Should I just use the collet puller and throw the projectiles...

    Flaky gunsmith

    I dropped off a 1911 to get a new safety and beaver tail fitted. Never used this Smith before. He told me 4-6 weeks. I wasn't thrilled but left the weapon. I called 8 weeks later and he apologised and said 4 more weeks. Called 6 weeks later and he said 2-3 more weeks. That was a month ago...

    Browning model 42 assembly?

    I am trying to list a model 42 for a friend and want to get the pics with the gun fully assembled. Right now it looks like this: How do I get the cylinder thing in its home position? The gun has never been fired so it maybe was not assembled fully to retain value? It is a 42 grade V with the...

    Savage Hog Hunter for build?

    I am looking for a project rifle for target (.223) and am torn between purchasing a new Hog Hunter to shoot now and rebarrel/restock later or getting a used Savage 110 or 111 to rebarrel now. Third option is to wait and buy a new/used model 12 in SS. There aren't many hog hunter builds around...

    .257 Roberts conversion

    I ran across a custom .257 with a lilja SS tapered bull barrel, bench rest stock, and a ridiculously awesome trigger. What are my options to get this gun to be a bench rest .30 caliber? I don't want to add a caliber to my reloading components so I am very sold on converting to .308"...
