When I hand cycle my midlength upper, I can see the gas tube relax just slightly when the carrier moves to the rear, and there's a light click when they mate up when the carrier goes forward. With the carrier out, I can depress the gas tube and feel it spring back a bit, whereas the gas tube is...

Has anyone tried out Widener's M80 and M118LR bullets that they are selling in bulk? Also, how come the cannalure on the M80 bullets is a smooth groove with no serrations?

Just a thought/question: if an NFA gun is owned by an LLC or corporation, could the owner of the corporation sell the company to effect a transfer without having to pay the $200 transfer tax? Anyone have info/cites about this?

Has anyone here ordered .223 lake city brass from GIBrass? Were you satisfied and how was the quality of the product? I've searched and found people who ordered his surplus powder and bullets and were pleased, but I'd like some feedback regarding his surplus brass.

Has anyone found a trick or workaround to use the RCBS swaging setup on a Lee classic turret? The problem for me is the collar that forces the case off the swager head is too short. Instead of pushing the case off the swager head on the downstroke, it does nothing because it never touches the...

Proposition H is now dead, dead, dead. The city lost in the district court, the appeals court, and now the state supreme court has denied their petition for appeal. http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/c/a/2008/04/09/BARB102OFQ.DTL (04-09) 17:19 PDT SAN FRANCISCO -- The state Supreme...

This part of the law is why you have to state a reason on form 4 transfers. The "reasonable necessity" and "consistent with public safety" language sounds a lot like the language used in may-issue CCW laws. Could the ATF or the attorney general someday interpret the law to restrict NFA...

Normally I do not do any crimping since I shoot match bullets. I'd like to load some cannelured FMJ bullets for plinking and defensive training, but I believe the Redding competition seater I have does not crimp at all. Roll crimping would be the best way to crimp with a cannelure, right...

http://world.guns.ru/ammo/sp-e.htm With regard to these exotic cartridges, it seems that with any appreciable amount of powder, the cartridge case would become a dangerous pressure vessel once the piston sealed it up. Was the powder charge kept very low, or were the case walls made thicker...

Anybody know where I can find new Lake City .223 brass? Midway no longer has it listed.

I'm looking for a replacement for the USGI fiberglass M14 stock. The foreend of the stock flexes too easily, to the point the rifle shoots better offhand than it does with a sling. Is there any synthetic stock out there that maintains roughly the same profile and handling characteristics but...

I am loading 357 SIG with Lee dies, and each time a case goes through the expander die, it takes a bit of brass from the case mouth. Over time the shavings migrate downstream to the other dies and make a mess. I've tried adjusting the expander die up and down to control the amount of case...

After reading that some here have used tumbling to quickly remove case lube and put a final polish on their rounds, I decided to run a batch in the tumbler for 5 minutes, and ended up with rounds covered in a film of media dust. I ended up having to wipe all of them off with cloth. So, for...

Nonprofit organizations are required to make their tax filings available for public inspection. This could be useful for evaluating the activities and financial effectiveness of pro- and anti-gun organizations, as well as finding out who their officers are and their compensation...

More lessons not learned. The swords must be destroyed. http://abclocal.go.com/kgo/story?section=local&id=5376569 Jun. 7 - KGO - The police chief at City College of San Francisco has resigned over a question of security. He wanted his officers to be able to carry guns on campus...

Less-lethal shotgun loads include things like bean bags, rock salt, rubber shot, OC rounds, and so on. While there is no question that they are not as effective as stopping threats as lead shot and slugs, given the utility of pepper spray for individuals, I'd like to know if these loads have...

(cross-posted on TFL while we were down, but I'll ask here too) I started loading .357 SIG with AA #9, based on recommendations that it was the premier powder for .357 SIG, but the results have been less than satisfactory. Lots of muzzle flash; pistol, clothes, and shooting bench get covered...

I set up my Lee classic turret yesterday with Lee's 3-die set for 357 SIG. As I wait for powder and primers to arrive, I've been adjusting the dies. I followed the directions to screw in the sizing die until it contacts the shell plate. When running the sizing die, the die scores the brass...

For choosing a service rifle upper, which is better, sights with 1/4-minute or 1/2-minute clicks, and why?

I've been reading about using a cantilever mount for the Aimpoint on an AR-15. The reasons seem to come down to: 1. Mounting farther forward for faster target acquisition 2. More room to attach a magnifier or NV optic 3. CDI factor Any other advantages? Regarding #1, are there reasons...
