    Does anyone make a decent coach gun for ~$700?

    I am thinking of buying a new SBS hammer gun for a little NFA project. I want something of higher quality than the standard Stoeger/Spartan stuff. I see that CZ USA offers a coach gun made by Huglu in Turkey, but ShotgunWorld is full of threads where people have had problems with CZ shotguns...

    Good commercial powder for bulk .223?

    I would prefer to use surplus powders for their low cost, but the supply is too irregular for my taste. Does anyone have a good recommendation for one of the cheaper commercial powders that will be good under a 55gr FMJ? Woul also like it to use a smaller charge if possible, to maximize yield...

    The longest AR you'll ever see...

    Just picked up the can this morning. The varmints in the area are in BIG trouble. :D That's a 26" barrel from White Oak, custom-ordered with a threaded muzzle and M4 ramps. AAC M4-1000 Mod 08 silencer. Burris XTR 3-12x50 scope.

    "Spray fired from the hip"

    Whipped this up today, thought it might be of value to someone. I have a couple such images and I use them to explain things to antis.

    CNN Video Report: Cops increase firepower to combat criminals

    I have to watch it again, I was too busy drooling over the nice ARs to listen to the reporter the first time through. :) http://www.cnn.com/video/#/video/us/2008/05/04/candiotti.cop.firepower.cnn

    Helpful load development worksheet I made

    This is a worksheet I made to help with load development. It's based on OCW theory, but does all the calculations for you. All you have to enter is your desired maximum charge and COL, and it calculates recommended charges for each test group, along with COLs for the second round of...

    What am I doing wrong with my .223?

    Hi all, I'm not new to reloading, having done pistol for some time, but I am new to rifle reloading. I'm trying to cook up something for my AR with 75gr A-Max bullets over 23gr of Varget. I have my seating die (RCBS) set for 2.4" with no crimp. After resizing, the cases are normal. But...

    Anyone use Accu-Shot Monopods?

    www.accu-shot.com I hate lugging sandbags around, and a monopod attached to the stock appeals to me. I've seen other brands before that were fairly fragile and you were still supposed to lift the stock before firing. But these appear to be OK to leave in contact with the ground/bench upon...

    My Ultra-Varmint AR

    I posted pics of my ultra-varmint AR in progress earlier. It's closer to done now with the addition of a Burris XTR 3-12x50. Scope has 1/4" clicks, 60 per rev, illuminated BDC mil-dot reticle, turret parallax, etc. A feature I've never seen on another scope, and which I really like, is that...

    Legality of automatic knives in NC?

    Our concealed carry laws say that one cannot carry a knife which opens by "throwing, explosive, or spring action." However, autos are readily available at every gun store, gun show, knife shop, etc. Does anyone know how strictly enforced this law is? I don't buy knives to leave them at...

    Almost done!

    My White Oak Armament barrel arrived today :) : Obviously I wouldn't shoot it with a rimfire silencer, I just wanted to get an idea of scale since I'll probably be putting an M4-1000 on it which is 7.5" or so (.22 can is 6.1). This thing is heavy as a cinderblock - which is perfect for...

    Dillon RL-450 info?

    Last night I bought a Dillon RL450 from a friend. It's NIB, complete with all the bits and pieces, comes with .357, .38spl, and .45acp shell plates and a set of .45 dies (look like RCBS in photos but not sure yet). Also a midway tumbler, media separator, and a few hundred .45 empties. I paid...

    Aw shoot, did I just ruin my lower?

    Dangit, I think I just messed up my lower. I read of a few people that had painted the lettering on their lowers with acrylic paint instead of using a crayon. They said you dilute it with water so it flows into the letters, and just wipe up the excess that spills with a paper towel. Well, I...

    JSgunparts.com?

    I ordered a rail system for my AR from this outfit a few weeks ago. No sign of product, no emails about backorders, they don't respond to my emails, and they don't answer the phones. Anyone ever dealt with them? I'd like to know if I need to go calling my CC company to block charges or...

    Is this safe?

    CCW holders and accidental shootings...

    I haven't seen anyone tackling this question yet, so I'd like to hear everyone's opinions/facts on the matter. I'm a campus leader for Students for Concealed Carry on Campus. One of the Brady Bunch's main protestations to our position is as follows: Their insinuation is that CCW holders...

    Need help fitting a 1911 bushing barrel...

    Hi all, I'm putting a threaded bushing barrel into my Springfield TRP operator, which came factory with a bull barrel. The EFK barrel came with a matched bushing and link. At first, the barrel completely would not slide into the slide. The sides of the barrel lugs were hitting the...

    Reasonable gunsmithing timeframe?

    Hi all, I'm building a 6" STI limited-style 1911. I dropped off the complete box of parts with the local gunsmith nearly 4 months ago. Since then I've spoken with him on the phone once, about 2 weeks after that date. He is reputable, but he's not Yost-Bonitz or anything, and the most...
