Hi everyone, I plan on buying an M1A scout squad rifle in the near future. I would appreciate recommendations on optics from people who also own and operate this rifle.

Hi everyone, I love shooting M2 AP from my Garand, unfortunately surplus rounds from the 40s and 50s have dried up or become prohibitively expensive. Does anyone know if a company is sell new made rounds or if Bullets for reloading?

I will probably buy it anyway but it would be nice to shoot it.

Hi everyone, I am a collector of antique and vintage US military Rifles and Sidearms. One of the people whom i buy from is offering a M1895 Lee Navy Rifle. I have had a gun smith inspect it and it is safe to fire which is amazing. Unfortunately ammunition is incredibly rare and expensive...

Thank you everyone for the info, i just checked the starline website, the price is better than I thought it was. I will have to do the math to see if the investment in equipment is more or less than 2000 new cases. I have literally thousands of .223 cases from the range. The range i go to sells...

Hi everyone, I have been considering buying a .300blk upper for a while now, before i pull the trigger (haha) i had a question about reloading .300BLK: I know the parent case for .300BLK is the .223rem cartridge what i want to know is can i trim down my .223 and 5.56mm brass to make 300BLK...

What are your thoughts on the SA-35, Springfield armory’s copy of a Browning hi-power? I have rented Hi-Powers by before and have enjoyed them. Has anyone ever used one as a carry pistol? I am seriously thinking about buying one anyway since the price is right and i love the walnut grips, it...

Hi everyone, I have a S&W Airweight Revolver and a .45ACP Kimber custom carry II. i am looking for a low profile midsized pistol that i can conceal under a loose button up shirt. OWB is preferable but i want something slim enough and with smooth edges for comfortable IWB when necessary. It needs...

Is there a way to apply a new coating?

Would the fun police AKA the BATFE have an issue with using FMJ bullets to reload? I think I remember reading somewhere that FN only sells hollow point and ballistic tip to civilians because FMJ becomes armor piercing at the velocities involved?

Is there a reason not to use .223 Rem bullets?

Hi, I was wondering if anyone had a link to reliable load data for 5.7x28mm rounds. I would also appreciate any advice or recommendations from people who have experience reloading 5.7x28mm. Thanks

I have thought about that but lead poisoning scares the crap out of me. I am a welder so i know all about the problems fumes from molten metals can cause. I dont even buy pure lead bullets, i always get either plated, FMJ or TMJ bullets so i dont get any on my fingers. I know it costs a little...

I have thought about that, and i probably will in the future when i run low, or if I start using a new caliber. I primarily re load .38 special and .45 ACP. I use really light loads for .38spl: 158gr plated SWC with a 3.5gr alliant Bullseye charge. I usually get 12 reloads before a case fails.

Thanks for the information i think ill stick to brass unless I absolutely have too. Factory ammo and components are getting more and more expensive as the years go by, anything i can do to shave off a few cents per round helps.

I really dont mean to hijack this post or disparage the M1A. But if I could only choose one of the rifles i would choose an M1 Garand. I paid $725 for my M1 in 2013, I hade it appraised for insurance purposes last year and it was valued at $2200. It truly is an investment. It can also be passed...

My Garand is 80 years old, possibly exactly since the serial number indicates a july 1942 date of production. I am very carful with what ammo i use with it with. I bought a few boxes of surplus belted .30 cal at the same time i bought the rifle, it was all late 50’s and 60s Head-stamped from...

Its an investment as well as fun to shoot it has tripled in value since I bought it in 2013. Sight picture is almost identical, you dont need to worry about buying expensive magazines or potential future mag size restrictions. With a C&R FFL you wont have to worry about any future state laws...

Get a Garand instead
