    Remington 870 Magazine tube blocked? Metal crimp not dowel

    My Remington 870 tube has a crimp in it that won't let shells go past it. Makes all magazine extensions pointless. How do you fix this? Love the shotgun but this is dumb. upload pic

    Cheapest big bore to feed?

    I'm thinking 458 Socom, 50 beowulf, 450 bushmaster and up. What's the cheaperst big bore ammo you can get for all day range fun? Feeding the beast is often the biggest pain point. I reload. I can reform brass. I'm ok with splitting this into two categories. Semi-auto and bolt action.

    Detailed ballistic data 5.56 and 6.5 grendel? I've got 6.8 SPC info...

    Glasses: ANSI Z87.1-2010 or MIL-PRF-31013

    I was at the recent NRA convention and were showing off these SecureFit glasses. They claimed they were the best they had for sound issues as the frames were so thin they wouldn't impact break the ear muff seal. I got a mild but almost daily form of tinnitus in my 20's so this is a big deal...

    The Gun Library & other arguments why violent criminals *SHOULD* be armed.

    How is that title for an attention grabber? Before you post please read this carefully and slowly. A slightly educated guess but .... Those of you that are fans (knowingly or unknowingly) of the Chicago Booth style of economics will likely find this fascinating. Those of you that lean more...

    Switzerland job offer.... gun laws for American expats?

    Was just given a multi-hour sales pitch for a job offer in Switzerland. From what I can tell I should be OK with gun purchases. Can someone please confirm the appropriate process for a foreigner to purchase a gun & suppressor? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gun_politics_in_Switzerland...

    Multiple Bullets Stuck in Barrel (factory loads even!)

    So I was shooting moly coated lead bullets (factory) in my bolt action .308 rifle. At first I thought I was missing the target but it appears the bullets were getting stuck in the barrel. There may be 3-4 of them in there. Any ideas on how I can get them out? I bought some 9/32" brass...

    Best way to put a Hi-Viz warning on a gun? ("NO LEAD" on polygonal 300 BLK bbl)

    Ranier Select barrels have polygonal rifling. Great for longevity but apparently you must shoot FMJ through them. I thought about stenciling "NO LEAD" on my AR15 dust cover but I'm not sure what is the least ghetto way to do that. High temp paint marker from NAPA or Autozone will work but...

    Suppressor laws around the world?? E.g. Norway, New Zealand

    I've heard that suppressors aren't regulated in any shape or form in Norway and possibly New Zealand. Is this true? Any hard links / evidence supporting this? What countries regulate suppressors like scopes?

    Heat generated per shot?

    Just wondering if anyone has any metrics on heat generated per shot. Calories, Joules, BTU's... degrees the barrel changes per shot. Any metric will likely get me where I want to go. I'm basically interested in a graph / plot of barrel temperature (estimated or experimental) vs. shots...

    Health risks of volatile corrosion inhibitors?

    This link is interesting. http://www.metalfinishing.com/view/2623/problems-with-volatile-corrosion-inhibitors-in-the-metal-finishing-industry/ I'll have to dig through PubMed and see is there are any other papers / studies to see anything more recent / authoritative but I'd figure I'd...

    Is "Grass Roots North Carolina" real or fake? They are pro NFA gun control.

    Anti-gunners and the Brady campaign are notorious for creating fake gun-rights organizations that push for "reasonable gun restrictions". There's an organization in North Carolina that's mostly pro-gun but is sending form letters to the ATF supporting stricter gun control. These restrictions...

    Organizing your pistol magazines.... What do you use?

    I keep my pistols in a pelican "briefcase". The pistols are in holsters and the magazines, ear muffs, glasses, etc are just thrown in there. I'm considering a knife roll (buy / make my own) to organize the magazines. What do you use? What do you recommend? Right now I've got 7 glock...

    Please explain this ballistics plot to me

    I don't understand the combat divergence. Why is a 20" drop OK but 30" means "combat divergence"? To me it's just a simple 20" = aim for the head, hit the belly. 30" = aim just above the head, hit the belly
