    Springfield XDm and California

    What specifically makes the new Springfield XDm illegal in California? If it cannot be sold in CA can it be purchased in another state and then brought legally to California? I'm aware of the ten round magazine limitation, but are there other laws barring ownership in CA?

    Milsurp round Casting

    I hunt with my milsurps. .303 Enfield, 8mm Mauser, etc... If I wanted to use cast rounds for hunting, how would I go about doing this? Do regular rounds, with or without gas checks have enough 'ompf' to take down game? Please let me know.

    Gander Mtn

    I just visited my hometown's new Gander Mountain since I'm home on leave. I thought I'd let you know what the sign said at the door: (approx) Rifles and bows that will be seen by the gunsmith and bowsmith (?) have to be cased, unloaded, and checked in at the customer service counter. This...

    Recoil problem with Glock 19

    All, The recoil spring in my Glock 19 is always slipping out of spot where you push it into when assembling the pistol after break down. On the barrel, there is a circular groove that you depress the spring into. I seat the spring all the way into this grove, but after I rack the slide back...

    PCS-ing to Camp Pendleton, California

    Guys, I'm moving to California (Orange County, I'm told) just after New Year's. I will be living off base in a town called Oceanside. I've got several bolt action surplus rifles, but I'm worried about these firearms being CA legal: Glock 19, with two 15 round factory magazines. Bushmaster...

    Lubricating Oils

    Ladies and Gents, I usually use CLP to clean and lube my AR-15, but lately I tried something very different for lubing: Motor Oil. In fact it was Castrol GTX 5w30. When I performed a function check, the action was the smoothest I've ever felt. What does this mean? The jug of oil says...

    Bluegrass Armory

    Guys and gals, Does anyone have an order with these guys for one of their Viper .50's? Rumor has it that they are not shipping rifles because of a barrel problem. Can anyone confirm / deny this?

    Non-US residents allowed to shoot at range?

    Ladies and Gentlemen, I have a friend who is here for a year (Ukranian Military officer). He is very interested in shooting some of my firearms. Just to be safe, I called Shoot Straight, a local gun store and indoor rifle range, and spoke to "Mack" about him coming to shoot with me. I pay...

    Replacement 03 FFL

    All, Just before I deployed last, I sent in my paperwork and ~thirty dollars for my 03 FFL license. It arrived while I was gone, and the wife accidently shredded the license thinking it was junk mail. I got the first package, containing the large books and manuals. I've looked everywhere...

    Who is currently selling British Enfields?

    I have checked the regular sites and only JGSales is offering a British Enfield for $119. The only problem is that it has a cracked stock. Are there any other sources for cheap Enfields? I don't want to pay more than $150 for one. Thanks for the help! Cpl David Blythe

    I broke my press last night :(

    Yes, I broke my toggle link last night on my Lee Challenger single stage press while trying to resize 7.5x55 Swiss cases. I had broken one side before, but last night I was having to apply so much force to get these to full length resize that I snapped the thing in two! Even my workbench was...

    Reloading .308 Win

    Ladies and Gentlemen, I just loaded some Hornady 3037's (150 gr FMJBTs) in .308 Win cases. According to some of the reviews on Midway, the cannelure is set correctly for .308 win, and too high for .30-06. Well, using the load data from Hornady's No 7 manual, I found the exact opposite to be...

    An official reply from Winchester (Olin Corp)

    Ladies and Gentlemen, Last week I send a real letter to Winchester asking why they do not offer 7.62x54R brass as a reloading component. They sell the loaded ammo under their "metric caliber" line, but not as components. I've heard that they simply import this stuff, but I still thought I'd...

    I had a moment today....

    I was at a nice outdoor shooting range and was getting ready to shoot a friend's rifle. I mentioned to him that while I was shooting his, he could shoot the Mauser that I just got done shooting. I pointed to a small brown paper bag with loaded stripper clips of 8mm, and said "The ammo is in...
