    dumb idea

    Finding a barrel blank will probably be impossible - all .25 cal rifle barrels are for .257 diameter bullets, while the .25 ACP bullets are .251 in diameter. Where would you find a .25 ACP chambering reamer? And so on, and so on, and so on.

    US v Olofson - Cliff Notes Version

    Knowing what the BATFE can and will do in cases like this, it's fundamentally suicidal to take an AR-15 with a 3 position selector and a known history of hammer following out to the range. Taking an SKS with a sticky firing pin and a history of slam firing out to the range is suicidal. Taking...

    Opinion needed: Enfield Ishapore A2 Sporterize?

    My own preference is to keep old military rifles in stock condition. I inherited a Bubba-ized 1903A3 and can't restore it to military configuration. Look for replacement wood parts in the Enfield listings at Numrich Arms. http://www.e- gunparts.com/model.asp?idDept=231 I bought a...

    AR-15 magazines

    Adventure Line was a government contractor in the 1970's and maybe into the 1980's. Most of my mags are Adventure Line and fit fine in Colt receivers. The aftermarket receivers have more variance in dimensions, and "creative" changes like the mag well radius issue with Bushmaster receivers...

    How would You Re-act

    Not over reacting. There are very few acceptable excuses for aggressively pounding on someone's door and yelling.

    Brownells Storage Bags

    The silver Mylar bags are just vapor barriers. VPCI products are more complicated and expensive. Found a few links on consumer products you can order. http://www.rustbloc.com/VpCIemitterfaq.shtml http://www.rustbloc.com/cgi-bin/dept?dpt=H&srch=DC

    Owner of broken rifle surrenders for 30-month sentence

    More articles and threads on this subject, including the entire 88 page thread on www.ar15.com. My purpose is to try to salvage some of our dignity as legal gun owners and to turn off the mindless ranting about a subject in which there is a great deal of public ignorance, misinformation, and...

    Owner of broken rifle surrenders for 30-month sentence

    Pay particular attention to Item 7 and Item 10 and Item 12 and Item 13 and Item 17 and Item 20 and Item 23. Read those items over thoroughly. Olofson had installed a 3-position M16 selector, which is a real no no. Whatever else was installed or modified internally is known only to the immediate...

    old artillery shell pic... ??

    The center cartridge with the yellow projectile is a WW2 vintage Oerlikon 20mm, easily identified by the rebated rim on the brass case.

    Sometimes you get a smile from fate...

    When I lived in an apartment I took the trash bags down to the dumpster one day and found an entire Atari 800 computer system in there. The computer and printer worked fine but the floppy drive was toast. I added that 800 to my collection of 3 others. :D

    .38 spl Brass with Cannelure? What?

    I used to work in cop shops from 1969-1977, when revolvers were king. We sold tons of .38 wadcutter reloads and took back literally drums of fired .38 brass. Some of that brass had been reloaded at least a dozen times, judging by the lengthwise scratches on the cases from dirty sizing dies...

    Why would the VT killer file off the serial numbers?

    I have an outlaw streak my own bad self. I can't wait to get home with new pillows and cut the tags off. I started out cutting mattress tags off, but how many chances do you get to do that? :evil:

    First 10 Reloads!

    Now you've done it! No turning back! All my .38 loads are 158 gr cast bullets and 4.3 gr of Unique. I looked many places for load data and that was the "gold standard" Unique load just about everywhere. Many people claim they never trim handgun brass, but if you want consistent and...

    Is a magnum primer really necessary for H110 powder in the .44 Magnum?

    Many years ago I loaded some .357 magnums with either H110 or W296, can't remember now, and used standard primers as I was out of magnum primers. Those loads were very inconsistent in power level and finally I had a squib that lodged a bullet in the barrel of a 6" Colt Trooper MkIII. After...

    Anyone ever convert an M1 carbine to .38 special?

    The Universal Vulcan .44 mag carbine used the same 5-round black plastic magazine as the Ferret .256 carbine. The plastic magazine is kind of "universal" in its application (no pun intended) and is a compromise in most ways. I never tried loading any .256 Win Mags into a .30 cal GI magazine...

    Anyone ever convert an M1 carbine to .38 special?

    I have a Universal Ferret carbine clone in .256 Winchester Magnum. This is a .357 magnum case necked down to .25 caliber. The Ferret is a sporterized version of the M1 carbine, with a plain tapered barrel and a Monte Carlo stock. The Ferret has a unique 5-round plastic magazine, and the...

    What happens when...

    Years ago I loaded hundreds of rounds of .308 for a LEO buddy so he could get in the practice necessary to qualify for the SWAT team. I would give him 200 rounds one day and he would bring me the empties on the way home. I would give him the same 200 rounds back the next day loaded. I forget...
