Hey all; I was shooting one of my favorites today, the Browning SA-22 short below. I bought it from CDNN about 6 years ago and find it to be one of the more frequent plinkers I pick up; it's 22 short, so no recoil or noise to bother me or the neighbors and, anyway, it's just gorgeous. Scoped...

So this came free in a previous order of AR stuff and it's been driving me nuts; what is it or what is it for? My best guess was a bottle cap opener, but it seems ill-suited and I don't know why it has two slots and the huge ring on the other end. Can't find it on the www.tacfunusa.com...

I had a little fright/puzzlement last Sunday. Went to plink with a Ruger 10/22 that is mostly stock; it's mounted with a Leupold 3-9X40 VX1 on Talley 10/22 mounts. It also has a Tacticool threaded adaptor on the front sight. It normally shoots about 1.5 MOA at 50 yards with CCI Standard. It...

Shotgun reloaders: Just wondering why I can't keep the H110 in the plastic MEC bottle instead of the plastic Hodgdon bottle? Detached from the press and capped with the original MEC cap of course. I can buy spare MEC bottles for around $12 and it just seems easier in the long run to not be...

Okay, my first attempts at reloading 410 are not going smooth. Two questions please: Q1) I have Fiocchi 410 shells, Cheddite 209 primers, CB wads, and planned to use H110 powder. I need a drop of 15.7-16.0 grains H110. My MEC Jr. 600 Mark 5 410 loader came with #10, #11, and #12 MEC...

Please enlighten me; I've loaded rifle and pistol for nearly a decade now and I'm used to the drill; find something similar to your bullet, look at a chart that suggests a minimum and maximum charge of your chosen powder for that bullet, and then, if you need to, do a powder ladder and refine...

I've done two stupid things lately. The first was buying a BCA 410 AR upper...which takes some breaking in but I'm nearly there. The second was buying a MEC and beginning to self-teach myself how to reload shotgun (I'm already experienced at pistol and rifle). Anyway, the two issues are...

At a local gun show today there was a used Ruger American (but in nearly new shape), wanting $350...including original box and a cheek riser. I came around again and it hadn't been snatched up, to my surprise. Should I go back and pick it up tomorrow? I need another 300BP like I need a hole...

Okay, I may be crazy or misled so please explain to me where I'm thinking wrong.....I just bought a BCA 410 shotgun complete upper like this one (20 inch barrel and has a 15 inch handguard). It has a short weaver-style rail on the front end of the handguard and I'm thinking it'd be perfect to...

I understand now how easy conspiracy theories start. I ordered a BCA complete upper a couple of weeks back (410 shotgun) and it shipped Friday FedEx. It went quickly from NC to Kansas and yesterday I got a notice at 8:56 a.m. that it was "out for delivery". Then, at only 1:52 p.m. another...

Any real data out there on whether 223 Wylde chambers are really worth extra costs over a 5.56 chamber for 223 target work? With the Bear Creek 223 Wyldes all under $300 complete, they're more and more tempting, If I already have a 5.56, am I likely to notice a difference in real-world...

I came across some Hornady 100 grain XTP's (0.312) today and wondered if they can be loaded in a 32ACP cartridge? Normally I load 71 grain plated RN's with AA2, but I've seen some "amateur" references to trying the 100 grain XTP's with 1.8 grains of W231/HP38. Hodgdon lists data for 85 grain...

I enjoy receiving the company "inserts" but I don't plaster my car or computer with them, so I had quite a little pile of gun company decals/bumperstickers filling a folder. It was a cloudy Sunday here so I and did something with them to hang in my reloading room....not that there's much wall...

Picked up an AGM Thermal scope yesterday and like it. But immediately presented with a problem. Bore-sighted in daylight, which worked really well, put the shots on a 12X12 piece of paper at 50 yards, but having a bit of trouble zeroing further since I don't have the rifle locked in a stable...

...that I've never seen discussed. Are AR-15 bolt carriers and bolts interchangeable? Say , as an extreme, for some reason a bolt-carrier for a 450 Bushmaster was damaged? Could you take the bolt carrier from a 223, put the 450 Bushmaster bolt in it, and run the 450-rifled barrel? Or are...

Went to an estate auction today in St. George Kansas. It was supposed to start at 10 so I got there at 9:30. About 20 rifles, all good condition, brand new Ruger Charger, 4 or 5 Ruger revolvers, you get the picture. Most auctions around here list the time guns will be sold and they usually...

Got off my keester for Labor Day and finally made myself an all-weather standing-height shooting table using a piece of leftover 30"X20" granite from the kitchen remodel 5 years back. The granite was the non-expensive part, but Menard's sure values those posts and angle iron! Took the...

I've been toying with buying another Franklin Binary for my S&W MP 15-22 or moving the one I have from a standard lower. Then yesterday PSA dropped a labor day sale (33% off) for a complete lower with FBT installed for $499 (link below for those who care). That makes a Franklin Binary...

I'm entirely confused these days, as to what the "final rule" did to several items. If I have a pistol AR, no brace, short (5") bare buffer tube, can I put an angled foregrip, such as a Magpul AFG, on it legally? What about a red dot? Does anyone know?

After reading a thread on TFL of someone having misfires in a 300BO with a Law Tactical Gen3 Folder, I thought I should put my 300BO pistol, with a recently added Law Folder, through its paces. First round, and about 3/10 thereafter, I had FTF's.....barely dimpled primers and all my fault...
