    Reloading Bench Ideas

    When I first started looking I read a few posts here that directed me to this link that I used to build my bench with. I think it cost me about $30-40 in wood and I had extra left over to add to it after the initial build. I used some of the scrap wood to add a locking cabinet under the table...

    Excess headspace Remington 788

    I love my 788. It is/was my Father in Laws rifle that he bought new back in the late 60, early 70's. .308 with a Meade 4x scope. I took it to the range after it having not been fired in over 20 years so I could site it in and after 8 shots, the next target I shot placed 3 rounds in a group...

    Looking for Mech Drawing/BluePrints for firearmes Old/New

    A few years ago, and many hard drive reformats ago, I had CAD drawings of the AR15/M16 rifle and had plans to get them printed for hanging on my wall. I wanted to find other plans of other types of firearm like 1911's, Stens, Thompsons 1927, Kalashnikov, etc. Does anyone know where I can...

    Manual of Arms for Baseball Bat

    I don't see why a bat would not be a decent home defense weapon if nothing else was easily available due to whatever circumstances are present. If you had a wooden bat with a few small nails or brads in it, you have the equivalent of a modern day Mace or simple Club that was used for millennia...

    What do you Load in your 45 acp for personal defense?

    I like both Hydrashok and Gold Saber. I lean more toward the HS but seem to be using the GS more as I sometimes have trouble finding the HS in the caliber I want. I've been a HS fan for years ever since I bought my first .357(S&W686 4") about 20 years ago. It was recommended to me by some LEO...

    Green Dot vs W231/HP38

    I can't wait to hear your findings on comparing the 2 side by side with your next test. I was looking at that myself a few weeks ago but passed on it as I am getting low on my 231 also.

    S&W - Walther PPK/S recall

    I got my label back when the recall first came out and still have yet to send it in. From what I gathered, the issue wasn't whether or not it went bang when you squeezed the trigger it was more an issue of it MAY go bang when you try to decock it with the safety. Am I wrong on this matter? I...

    Optimum 'top' for a reloading bench

    I used 3/4" plywood for my counter top base and then glued a sheet of basic white Formica type sheeting like you'd find on cheaply made counter tops. that way, over time, if I have to replace it, just chisel it up and do it again. Smooth surface and easy to clean.

    New gun shop reality series on Showtime

    I was watching Penn & Teller BS on Showtime and saw the promo for Lock and Load. It didn't give me the "warm fuzzies". The people they showed on the promo did not appear to be the type who would put firearms ownership in a positive light. The question: How do guns make you feel? Anxious...

    Question on Loadmaster

    The basic truth about the Loadmaster is that you do have to fine tune it a little after you get it. It may not crank out 100's of rounds straight out of the box but it will get the job done once you get it going well. when I started reloading awhile back, I bought the Anniversary kit and the...

    What's with the .50Cal muzzles on 12ga's

    Right, like was said before, the breacher muzzle break serves a purpose and it works pretty good. I played with one once on a day training a few years back but I just couldn't conceive any reason for those big arrow shaped Barret style muzzle breaks on the end of a 12g shotgun. I just couldn't...

    Mossberg Roadblocker

    I bought a cruiser model about 20 years ago as a car gun since I was 18 and couldn't legally buy a hand gun (Even though I was a Army Sp4) and carried quite a few other things better than that on a regular basis. I think I fired maybe 5 rounds total in my life from that shotgun with the pistol...

    What's with the .50Cal muzzles on 12ga's

    OK, I'm glad to know I wasn't totally wrong in my assumption. The only way I know of to properly control shotgun kick is proper stance and a decent pad on the butt. My FIL and wife asked me what they were for and all I could tell them was it was for people who don't know any better. My only...

    What's with the .50Cal muzzles on 12ga's

    When I went to my last gun show awhile back, I noticed there seemed to be a rather large amount of NIB shotguns, mainly Mossberg and Remington that had those large Barret style muzzle brakes on them. I saw a few other top venting type breaks also but my question is WHY? Is it some kind of...

    My EDC is a Spyderco Native plain edge in S30V. What's your's?

    My EDC is a Swiss Champ. I do also carry a Native alot of the time but the one that goes in my pocket when I grab my keys is the Champ. It's got alot of things that I know will get me through the day from tightening a screw to cutting the sipping straw for my 5 year old son when we eat out to...

    The John Dillinger tribute Thompson

    Funny you bring this up. For the past couple of years my FIL has wanted a true Winchester 98 Rifle. Finally a couple of weeks ago, I took him to the gun show here in town. He found and bought the first one he saw. It was the Illinois(sesquicentennial I think) tribute rifle. I told him he...

    Does anyone know who shot against Matt Dillon

    I just discovered RTN awhile back myself. Love that network. There's always something on worth watching(again) when there's nothing else on the regular channels.

    Florida Shooters Network

    I did not know this. Could you tell me what they are? Born and raised Florida Boy and I don't get around much on to the local stuff. Thanks
