Can anyone help me ID whether or not the action sleeve on my Remington 1100 would work with 3" loads? I have a spare 1100 I just refinished and I have two barrels for it - an 18" 2 3/4" chamber HD/tactical barrel and a 26 or 28" (can't remember off the top of my head) 3" chamber barrel with...

A local shop had an 870 on the shelf with Trijicon Scattergun Tech ghost ring sights, ATI AR-type stock w/5-shell side saddle, sling, 6-shell receiver side-saddle, mag extension, Surefire 3-rail forend, and drilled & tapped Picatinny rail for $480. As we were removing the side-saddle to...

I received this shotgun trigger assembly in a batch of reloading gear from a friend of mine who passed away. All of his shotguns were running so it's not from anything of his. Plus, I compared it to my 1100 and it's not an 1100 (safety's in the front, for one thing) and IIRC that rules out an...

Quick question - I've found a few at a local shop that are transitional pre-B models, with rounded hammers instead of the spur hammers I believe. If there's a spur hammer model and it's under $400 I'm going to get it, but I wanted to see if in general these are worth $400-ish out the door to...

OK, there's a chance I may be getting a job in New Jersey, and if it's offered (unless I get an offer in Vermont, Wisconsin or Ohio) I'll be taking it. I know it's restrictive there, and I haven't been able to find anything other than the batfe website outlining their laws in legalese...

What's the most comprehensive current reloading manual out there? I'm not looking for oddball info, just 5.56 & 7.62 stuff mainly at this point, but I'm also looking for good data w/TAC powder for 175gr Sierra Matchkings. Also, is there a manual in particular that has good information on...

OK, it didn't really follow me home, this was a while in the making. In 2006 Remington did a special run of commemorative M-40 rifles, made to the 1966 specs w/parkerized finish, wood stock, clip slot receiver, and what looks to be a varminter barrel. Serial numbers were SSAXXXX, with U.S...

I was curious to see if anyone has used Magtech primers in their reloads, and if so what kind of luck you've had with them. I'm not expecting they'll beat out Federal Gold Medal Match primers but they may work for blasting/range ammo. With the price of 1k below $20, I'm sure it's too good to...

I have been away from all reloading for a couple of years, and rifle in particular for about 3. I just resurrected my equipment, and as I was unloading a box I found Dillon case lube and RCBS case lube, both in the pump bottles. I couldn't remember which I'd used years ago that worked well...

A few years ago I came into about a .50-sized ammo can of some Lake City 7.62 match brass of various vintages dirt cheap. After that, I got into reloading and picked up a case gauge. All of this stuff has been resized and deprimed, but here's the problem. About 2/3rds of the cases appear to...

Before I put it up for sale somewhere else, I figured I'd ask in this forum if anyone wants an old blue Herter's single stage press that I was given a few years ago. I bought the shellplate converter for it so it uses standard shellplates instead of their proprietary ones. I just don't use a...

I know, another "clean powder thread," but at least I tried to do my homework. I found this http://www.thehighroad.org/showthread.php?t=156175&highlight=cleanthread a while ago and the one thing that I really didn't get was a powder that is clean burning and meters well in a progressive. A...

I'm interested in picking up some surplus 55gr tracers from Pat's, the ones that are really cheap, mainly to fill up some loose 5.56 LC brass I've got laying around. He mentions that you should use a hot stick powder to improve your chances of igniting. I wonder if the W844T surplus tracer...

...they're not sized. They're in a wooden crate and heavy as all getout, but since it's the only bullet I shoot in my Colt I've got to figure out how to resize them. I believe I got everything I need to size them, including a small press-like device. I'm away from home with work for the...

I've read on another forum that the S&W1911 Gunsite models have been found NIB for around $725-750, but no specifics as to where. I've seen the one on Gunbroker currently for $1k, but if they can be found for $725-ish that's a no-brainer since I've got a friend who is an FFL. Why this...

I'm a big 10mm fan, and I'd think that the Glock 20C would be a great platform for this round. Recently, I keep getting pulled back to my G19 as a good 9mm gun, but the G20C has been making me think twice about my next handgun purchase. That, plus I can get a nice discount...

I finally went ahead and picked up one from a local shop that was on consignment. I almost got a .45 instead, but the 9 came in the original box w/extra mag & manual. It's a 1998-marked weapon, V1 trigger, and excellent plus condition. It's not unfired but very close to it I'd say, and it was...

...at the end of my post. OK, so it's not really a huge scientific survey, with a Ransom rest and 69 pistols to choose from. But, I went to the range today with the intent of seeing which of 4 9mm weapons I could shoot the best. Each is a contender for IDPA as well as an upcoming Front...

I got an old 1100 from a friend a while back that had a skeet barrel on it, and now my trap gun has a skeet barrel, if I ever get a chance to get back into shotgunning... This leaves me with an 1100 without a barrel and a lot of decisions. I'll eventually pick up an 870 Police most likely...

I recently got a Sig CPO from James at www.ordnanceoutsellers.com when he got in a shipment of 229 DAKs that had been with the Waltham Police Department. Mine was almost LNIB w/night sights and a bunch of 10 round mags (thanks CA) in the original box, really like getting a new pistol...
