    impulse buy: Mec 600 jr

    I was hunting the garage sales today, and came across a Mec 600 jr for sale. Looked at it, decided I would never use it, then made the mistake of going back later with the wife. She said go for it, and I did. I got the reloader, manual, sever older reloading manuals (late 60's, early 70's?)...

    Cabelas mail sent voucher thing

    Cabelas sent me the voucher for the people with the cabelas visa card, and I used it, but was wondering if anyone has ever used someone elses voucher? What I am trying to say is the only person who could use it is the one that is was sent to? There was a revolver there that I had just seen...

    New to reloading: used brass question

    I just bought 2k of 9mm that was from an indoor range. Looks like I better pick up a vibrating tumbler this weekend. :rolleyes: I have sorted through the first 1k by headstamp. Got a few questions though. 1. I noticed there are several different head stamps for the same manufacture, should I...

    FYI: decent price on 9mm

    I have over 1k rounds already, and don't need to stock up any more in large quantities (just what I shoot now) and would like to pass on the decent deal. For those of you who can not get the WWB bulk 9mm at Walmart now, and have a cabelas near you, get 450rds of the MFS ammo (I think online...

    If or when to start reloading?

    I have been thinking about reloading, but not sure at what point would be a good choice to start. How many cases should you have before making a start? It is easy to recover the brass for the .38, but my 9mm's tend to throw the brass all over, and don't have too much brass for it yet...

    ammo from cabalas online

    Looks like prices are on there way down. I just paid a little under $140 with taxes (shipped to store) for $300rds of 9mm (bulk LRN with free dry storage box :) ) and 300 rounds of .38spcl (Sellier & Bellot) . Bad news is it is on back ordered for four weeks, but I have more than enough until...

    was thinking about getting into trap shooting

    My Brother in law had come up from Iowa this last week and surprised me that he and my nephews had taken up shooting clay pigeons. He never seemed like the type that would want anything to do with any firearms, so this shocked me. I had never done it myself, so I invited him to an indoor...

    Hmm, pt92 or RI 1911?

    I am thinking about buying one more semi-auto before the holidays and ran across two possibilities. At Cabelas there is a Rock Island 1911 and a Taurus pt92, both new for $400 each. They have a deal running with club members able to get $85 off of purchases $400 and more. So I could get...

    all surplus ammo corrosive?

    With the dirt cheap price on some M44 mosins, I am thinking about getting one, but I am not wild about the idea of corrosive ammuntion, that and steel cased ammo is not allowed at an indoor range I use. But this ammo is brass cased, but is it corrosive...

    Minnesota gun shows worth it?

    I am thinking about going to the state fair show tomorrow, but from the last two shows I have gone two, I had mostly seen overpriced firearms, and only a small handfull of deals. So for those of you who go to buy more than browse, are they worth it?

    Noob: First day at a range, and what a day!

    Warning, LONG story. I own a few guns, but oddly enough, I have only shot a gun once in my life. I shot my grandpas .38 when I was about fourteen or so up north on his land. I liked it, but it had a real hard trigger pull. Well, fast forward to me at thirty. Bills gun range was having there...

    cz mags not working

    I had bought three mags from a member on here for my cz-75 compact. Well, they seem to not lock in, and as a result, as the rounds are cycled the mag slowly creeps out and causes a jam. I compared the mags, and it looks like the difference is with the two slots on the front. I am assuming those...

    I just purchased a used cz-75 compact today, and it looks to be in great shape, and I like the way it feels in my hands, but I already have a problem. :( Now mind you I am new to guns, so I will describe the best I can. After I install a loaded mag, rack the slide to load the first round...

    saiga being imported again?

    I have been doing a small bit of research on the sporterised saigas and has seen a few people say that they were going to be imported again. Is this true, and if so, will that make them any cheaper, or just easier to find? I would like to get one before another ban happens. Also, would you...

    remington 550 questions

    Hello all, My dad just handed me down a remington 550. I am looking forward to pinking with it, but have a problem. It seems that I can only load 2 cartriges into the magazine before it will not budge. I am unsure how many should fit in there, and how it works, I take it there should be a...
