Just curious. Everybody says we must grease sliding surfaces on Garands, M1Aa, &etc. Not a huge fan of grease... On non-closed mechanisms it tends to get pushed away from where it's needed and must be frequently re-applied. Also gets and holds dirt, sand, grit, and it's messy. Still...

Basically standard .30-30 bullets, I have a bunch from long ago. Has anyone tried these in either the Garand (.30-06) or Springfield M1A standard version (.308) rifle? I have BL-C(2) powder. Any feeding or accuracy or other problems? Thanks, gbw

I recently tried both of these in 9mm. About 150 rds. each, fps range on my chrono 1050 - 1200, 115 and 124 gr jacketed bullets. The SA seem hotter, consistently 20ish fps faster than Fiocchi. Good consistent velocity for each. Both loaded and seated with no problems in an old Dillon RL450...

Hi Guys, need help please: I tried to submit application today for an AF 'Pistol' now SBR. Deadline is May 31. It seemed to work ok til I got to do the photo. Got a good photo using their 'take photo' option, under 3mb, then hit Add Document. The end. Just the green circle forever. I let...

I have an old, unfired Star PD .45, new in the original green plast box with all paperwork, mag, and tools. It's the older blue adjustable sight wood grip model. I'm thinking of selling it but I have no clue as to value. Anyone got an idea? Thanks, gbw

I've been keeping an eye open for one of these and have yet to see one for sale, including on Buds. I'm in the deep South. I've tried GunBroker in the past and prefer to avoid them. Is this pistol actually in production? If so it seems harder to buy than a new GMC Sierra! Thanks,

Local Walmart had .22s and shot shells today, plenty of both. .22s were Fed 40 gr. solid “Auto Match”? for $18.57 / box of 325. Not bad. Also some Winchester in old style 300 rd cartons, $39.97 ea - no thanks. Guy at counter expects it to be all gone today or tomorrow. 12 & 20 ga field...

Like many I've reached an age where letting go of some of my guns makes sense so I've started selling some of them. I have a Star PD unfired and new in the box plus a couple extra mags that I'll probably sell soon. Its an older version with the rounded adjustable rear sight. Seldom seen any...

How are these fine firms making it? I'm thinking about Lee, Lyman, Hornady, Dillon, RCBS, and the retailers too, Grafs, Powder Valley, and many others. Some of these companies are parts of conglomerates, and some have other lines of business. Still, it has to hurt that primers, for example...

My local Wal-Mart (deep south) had several boxes of bulk .22LR today. Maybe a dozen. 3 box limit. Federal 40gr and Remington GB 36gr. Average cost 5.6 cents / rd. tax incl. Also several boxes of shotgun shells and some cf rifle ammo including 7.62x51 Winchester in white box, I didn't see...

I like the P365 and P365 XL pistols. But I gag at the cost of extra magazines. I have several spares for each and I can afford them, but it's feels like a rip to pay upwards of $50 per, plus shipping, tax, etc. Glock factory mags are less than $20 or so, and MagPul even less. I ordered 2...

I have an AR with a Toolcraft NiB plated bcg. I don’t shoot it often, the last time I got it out of the safe the carrier had some minor corrosion. Other items in safe were fine. Toolcraft asked for one photo, gave me an rma and sent a new complete bcg to me all in 3 days. Note only the...

I have a Remington 870 DA magazine fed pump shotgun. Magazines are no longer made and very expensive (I do have one mag for it). I'm now officially done with all things Remington and luckily I don't have much money in this gun. But I do like it. Does anyone know if it's possible and...

I'm putting together a 20" AR type rifle with rifle length gas system. But id like to use an adjustable stock with a carbine length buffer tube and carbine buffer / spring. Is there any reason this won't work? Thanks

I tried this powder recently in 9mm and I was quite happy with the results. I've been quite UNhappy with it in .38 Special. I have only some 130gr. SP bullets so I loaded using 125 gr Hornady XTP data. This calls for 6.3gr, I used 6.0gr as a starting load. Measured at 18' with Shooting...

Tried this because Grafs had it in stock, I’ve never even heard of it before. I’m very pleased. Meters well, looks like 231 to me. Quite good Std. Dev. (Consistency) On the bottle they call for 6.4gr max for 115 JHP, no OAL given, I used 1.115”. A little hot. In a G19 Avg. Vel. = 1285. In...

Let's try again, it seems to be an interesting and confusing question. First, I'm asking only about Federal law at issue - it gets too complicated if state statutes get included, but if anybody wants to have a side discussion it's ok with me. So: I have a 5.56 AR firearm that I built new from...

Just curious: Assume I own a complete 5.56 20” AR, with an adjustable brace instead of a stock - maybe that’s all the stock store had the day I went stock shopping. Red dot sight. I’ve had it for 2 years. Now I purchase a 10” 5.56 barrel, gas block and appropriate gas tube, and a short rail...

Probably hopeless, but: I have a pound of Hodgdon CFE BLK that I'd like to use loading 5.56 62gr FMJ to use in a standard AR or possibly an AR pistol, also in 5.56. Does anyone have any sources for load data for this combo? Hodgdon doesn't list 5.56/.223 with this powder, although they list...

I have a standard Anderson lower and a Wilson 27 oz. stainless 6.8 barrel that I'd like to build into a lightweight AR style hunting rifle. I'm not an AR guru, so if anyone has ideas I'd love to have them. Thanks, PS - please don't go into the 6.5 Grendel v. 6.8 SPC arguments here. Too...
