I use the Lee case timmers sitting in my recliner watching TV. Due to the design you trim the cases by feel so you don't have to take your eyes off the TV. I also chamfer the case mouth and remove the crimp from primer pockets from my recliner also.

Going to a doctor is pretty much a waste of time and money. You have nerve damage in your ears and there is nothing that can be done to fix it. Once a nerve is damaged or dies it doesn't heal itself or grow back. Most people really freak out when they first notice it but you will get used to...

First off "best" is too broad of a subject due to the many models of AK rifles that have been imported in the last 30 years from a dozen different countries. Add to this the dozens of gunsmiths that have been assembling AK rifles for the last 10 years from US made receivers and parts kits or...

Soaking the bolt in mineral spirits is not going to get the cosmoline(presevative grease) out, but just soften it up. Then when the mineral spirits evaporate you still have the cosmoline inside the firing pin channel in the bolt. You need to remove the firing pin,soak the bolt in mineral...

Trying to repoduce a mil spec load with WW-231 is just not going to happen as it is a mild target load powder. It really shines and produces top velocities in cartridges smaller than 9x19mm (25acp,32acp,380acp,9x18). Loading 45acp I use Accurate Arms #5 powder as it was designed for loading...

Been using CLP on all my firearms for the last 15+ years. The microscopic particles of PTFE (Teflon) in CLP gets into the pores of the metal so the carbon doesn't stick as tight to it. Cleaning the carbon off the gas piston takes a lot less scrubbing and can be done with a toothbrush instead of...

Well now that it has come alive again I might as well update what I have done since my last post. I bought some pulled surplus M855(steel penatrator)and M856(tracer) bullets. Resized them and both worked fine when loaded in 5.45x39mm. Also ordered some M62 tracer bullets and loaded them in...

Yes but.......the rear trunion has to be changed out to put a side folding stock on a underfolding stock rifle. This will require the removal and replacement of two rivets that hold the trunion in the receiver. Depending on the type of rear trunions you swap out the rivets might not be in the...

Chamber size in a semiauto rifle is not really a issue it is the limited amount of force the recoil spring provides to chamber a round. Also there is not the camimng action or ability to apply more force if needed like with a bolt action rifle.

From the RCBS website, The Small Base Die set is intended for use for ammunition to be used in auto, semi-auto, and lever action rifles so that the loaded round chambers and extracts easily. The Small Base Sizer Die sizes the case from the shoulder to the head of the case a couple of...

The Chinese MAK-90 rifles are made in the same factories,from the same parts(minus the full auto parts) used to make the rifles issued to the Chinese Peoples Liberation Army and the ones that are in use all over the world. There is no way that you can cycle the bolt by hand and hurt it in any...

Unlike other striker fired pistols that when the slide is worked compresses the firing pin spring part way. The Sigma has to fully compress the firing pin spring when the trigger is pulled. This is the reason the trigger pull is so hard on the Sigma. While polishing the moving parts of the...

The only 38 or 357 ammo my rifle wont' feed 100% is loaded with wadcutters. Wadcutters require you to hold the rifle still and level while you work the lever slowly as it pushes the cartridge in the chamber. Some times you have to tilt the rifle slightly to one side or the other so the cartridge...

The depth of the dent in the primer depends on the brand of ammo. Commerical ammo will have deeper dents than military surplus ammo. Your rifle has too much headspace.

First thing remove the firing pin and clean the firing pin hole in the bolt. Use a good degreaser and pipe cleaners or wire to make sure the hole is completly clean. According to SAAMI voluntary industry standards used by commerical manufacters of Sporting Arms and Ammunition the minimum...

Well I thought like some of ya'll about a Winchester and a CCI marketing rep handing Lee fat unmarked envelopes late at night in a dark alley. As the instructions that came with my Lee Pro 1000 press saying only Winchester or CCI primers should be used. That is until some time between the...

I have used Lee .224" and .308" Lube & Size dies on 1000's of surplus bullets over the last 10 years. The bullets work fine and produce the same size groups as surplus ammo does. I also special ordered a Lee .221" Lube & Size die to resize .224" bullets down to .221" to load in 5.45x39mm. Sent...

My Jennings J-22 has over 1000rds firied in it. It has been 100% reliable as long as I fire no more than 2 boxes of ammo before cleaning it. There are two rules with any of the Raven,Jennings,Bryco,Davis,etc... pistols. 1.-Never carry one with a loaded round in the chamber. The sear is...

All you need is a standard resizing die. The only problem with resizing brass fired in full auto rifles is that the chambers are on the large side so it will take a little more effort on the press handle resizing it. Small base dies are only needed when resizing brass for use in some...

Glad that one of my posts helped you out. Sounds like some pretty tight groups as I just can't seem to get much better than 2"@100yds with my SKS or AK rifles.
