    Hmm, has anyone ever tried... (Tuckable IWB idea?)

    Installing VM-2 tuckable clips on a brommeland max-con V? I have a full size Kimber i'd love to daily carry, but have begun wearing much more professional clothing, and polo shirts just aren't cutting it anymore. for the drive home, and when I go out after work, i'd look sloppish wearing an...

    MFS brass... Hungarian, but how is it reloading?

    I was able to pick up 500 rounds of primed MFS 30-06 brass at a gunshow today, in an ammo case, for $42. How is MFS brass? I've been able to discover that its either made in Hungary, or Nepal, but how resilient is it to reload? It came primed so thats about $10 right there. I'd love for...

    Awareness Test!

    Thinking of either Keltec or Hipoint carbines... help

    Well, i was dead set on the kel-tec, until i fired a stock trigger. I'm not too pumped about having to send it back to keltec to get a decent trigger installed. The hipoint I hear decent things about, and heard they have an upgradable stock, making it a little more sturdy. What do you...

    Lighter bullets in the M-1 Garand?

    I have a ton of speer 125gr TNT bulk pack bullets around my apartment, and 4064. I know most people load for the garand with 150gr bullets, and 4064 is a good powder for it, but has anyone gone with lighter bullets? I try to standardize as much as possible, and the bulk packs actually shoot as...

    9mm powder recommendations... Bluedot or Bullseye

    Yes yes, i know. Its a rather limited selection, but i use bullseye for target loads .45acp and bluedot for 44mag\10mm, and I live in an apartment and space is at a premium, especially buying in the economy-jugs. Looking at loading for a glock 17, BHP's, and P7M8. Eventually i'd like to...

    Where can I order everything in one stop? Reccommendations please

    I set up an order with Midway for a Classic Turrett, safety prime, 9mm dies, 2 extra turretts, pro-autodisk, riser, and double disk kit. I almost finalized my order and i noticed that not only was shipping a little high, but that I'd be paying an extra $8 to ship JUST the safety prime at a...

    Anyone have experience with the Lee turret (old) and the lee classic turret (new)??

    How do they compare? DO they compare? I'm going to be ordering one in the next few days, and it seems as though the old styles comes with significant savings in the kit form, since it includes the autodisk and a set of dies. I've been loading single stage, and want something faster, but i'm...

    Wow! What a difference in 3rd and 2nd gen Glocks!

    Let me say it again... WOW! I had the opportunity to hold a 2nd (or maybe 1st, im not totally sure on how to tell the difference) Glock 17 today, and it completely changed my mind on glocks. For the longest time, I thought I hated the general grip angle or the rear hump. Not at all! I...

    Help! I know i'm forgetting something in my collection

    Well, with the Democrats taking congress, I'm planning on "stimulating the economy" at the next gun show(s). Ammo (other than alot of bullets) isn't really a concern for me. Any suggestions? I've never really been interested in shotguns, BTW, but I was thinking of a saiga 12ga. I already...

    So my savage seems to hate sierra bullets??

    Well, after extensive screwing around with oal, figuring out my distance to the lands, trying different powder, i concluded that my savage 30-06 hates the 165 (or is it 168) hpbt bullets. I couldn't get more than 3 or 4" groups at 100 yards. I was beginning to think that my rifle was defective...

    Your first five firearms purchases...

    I was thinking about another thread, and it got me to thinking "If i could go back in time and change my gun purchases, what would I change, what would I change them to, and why?" I bought, in order... (and i had to think really hard about it, and it was only 4 years!) Bersa .380 Glock 26...

    Uhhh... Will this effect Russian ammo prices in any way?

    Bush sanctions 7 businesses for dealing with Iran Here's the part that worries me... Is this Rosoboronexport in any way connected to Wolf?? Just when it seems that 7.62 is coming back down... On the other hand, it seems like none of these are related whatsoever to small arms...

    Whats the value of a H&K p7 PSP?

    there's one around here that i bumped into. The sticker is $895, but I'm able to do a cash deal for about $850 out the door. Its bright shiny and looks new. I could find no flaws or scratches. It comes with 2 magazines, the original box, and all the stock tools/manual. Is this worth it...

    Glock 36 to 10mm conversion?

    Normally I'd post at the shrine to all things glock, but 1) I'm at work, and 2) quality of responses seem to be better here. So i was thinking, "Hey, what would happen?" Obviously the barrel would need changed, but is the G36 barrel different from a standard glock barrel (like the 29)...

    What about too SHORT brass?

    I'll br firing all my 30-06 through just one rifle, a savage, so i picked up a Lee collet die set in addition to the full length die set. When i use the Collet sizer (yellow set, it only resizes the neck and punches out the old primer) sometimes the brass is shorter than the trim-to length. Is...

    Walk me through what i need to do to get a Garand from CMP?

    Okay, i remember reading it before and thinking "wow thats cool", but now i actually want one. I don't know what was wrong with me before. Can someone walk me through the steps or point me toward a link. For some reason I can't find it anymore. What organizations qualify for the CMP deal? Do...

    .40s&w to 10mm conversion... with a twist?

    does anyone have any information on the possibility of converting one of the kel-tec, hipoint, or any of the lower-end carbines, chambered in .40s&w into 10mm? I think this would be just about optimal for a carbine. Anyone tried it? Anyone have enough expertise to comment on the...

    1st real reloads with 30-06... Problem?

    Okay, so i made a couple (5) loads of 30-06 with a 165gr HPBT with 45.0gr of 4064. I'm at work right now, and i can't remember the OAL offhand, but i know it was right around the recommended one according to the lyman manual. (I want to say 3.300 for some reason, but i'm not sure) Here's my...
