      Roster question

      Hey all, I have a roster question. A specific model number of a Taurus Raging Hunter is not listed on the Handgun roster: 2-357085RH. I saw a letter saying that the roster was no longer going to maintain specific model numbers, did I read that right? The same gun, different finish, is on the...

      Does FFL have to be in Maryland?

      Was considering getting a suppressor and was hoping the local FFL across the border in WV could do the transfer if he's willing. Also, anybody in Allegany County dealed with Sheriff Robertson?

      Getting geared up for .338 Lapula Mag

      Getting geared up for .338 Lapua Mag Anyone reloading .338 Lapua? I'm starting to collect the equipment but not sure what to use to trim the cases. I usually use a Lee hand trimmer and a Corona but it doesn't look like they make one. I'm on a bit of a budget was hoping to avoid the $100...

      Needed: Paint stripper/removal

      I have a couple of garage doors that have a few heavy layers of old paint on them that I would like to get removed. I have zero interest in stripping them or sanding them myself, I would buy news first. However I would like to keep them, they are probably 60's era and made of heavy galvanized...

      CCI 400 vs 41

      I've loaded a few thousand .223/.556 to date using CCI #41s. Local shop is out of them and don't know when they will be available. I bought some CCI #400 and loaded about a 100 of them. I'm using a Lee hand primer to set the 400s and I've noticed some of the primers go in REAL easy, whereas...

      Heads Up - Berdan Primed .223

      Just a heads up. I've run into quite a few Berdan primed .223 or .556 cases over the last couple of months. Stamped "89" on top, "13" on the bottom. Not sure of the source but most likely range pick-up at Savage or Greenridge. BTW, the trashmen won't take your trash if they see a bunch of...

      Mexico's Constitution guarantees gun ownership, but...

      Apparently like the U.S. Mexico's constitution guarantees citizens rights to own guns. Looks like the government has found a away to discourage exercising those rights. I can see this happening here, regulate and tax dealers out of business, transfer fees, permits...

      OAL - Where to Start?

      I'm getting ready to do my first .45 loads. I whip out the Lymans and Hornady books and visit a couple of Powder manufactures sites. I get a idea of where to start and stop with the powder. However, everyone seems to have a different OAL. Alliant says min 1.20 inches, Lyman says 1.178, less...

      H4895 & IMR 4895

      Getting started with 7.62x54R. I was told 4895 is a good powder and I bought some IMR 4895, but it appears 4895 is under both the Hodgson & IMR labels. Are they the same powder?

      Hi-Point Carbine trigger problem

      Anyone have a Hi-Point? I started having some trigger issues (wouldn't reset consistently I'm assuming the spring doesn't look like this? Also, the tip of the hook that holds the spring appears to be dragging and scratching:

      Leg holster suggestions

      Was looking for a leg holster for a S&W M&P. Safariland are nice but a little pricey. Just something to wear while in the woods. Mrs won't let me wear it while I'm cutting grass..

      Nickel plated reloads

      I had my M&P .40 jam on me for the first time today. After extracting the bullet, a reloaded nickel plated case, I pulled the gun apart to get to the barrel. I found that there was a bulge at the bottom of the case that prevented the bullet from seating. I went through all my reloads, about...

      Wait time on Post 2013 purchases

      OK, looks like time to start a new "Wait Time" thread. My HQL became active 3/16, paperwork went in for a Beretta on 3/18. 3/21 MSP sent it back to FFL because it didn't have a coversheet which it did. The FFL sent it back. So here it is two weeks later, no sign of the paperwork and the FFL...

      Dented .223 case shoulder

      It appears I over lubed a .223 case causing 4 or 5 small dents in the shoulder. Will it form fire out or do I need to chuck it ?

      Roofing Repair

      Does anybody know of a roofer that will work on slate? I would really like to keep it. Barring that, any recommendations for a company doing metal?

      What to scoop from?

      I've started on my second batch of .223. The first batch I scooped straight from the bottle, so before something ugly happens I figured I'd ask what I should use to scoop from?

      Does this look right?

      I've just finished my first batch of reloads. I used two bullet types, Barnes TSX FB and Nosler Varmageedon. I'm assuming the Barnes being solid copper would be and is a longer bullet than the Nosler. But it does seem strange the longer Barnes would have a considerable shorter COAL than the...

      Ackley Improved 40-Degree Shoulder

      Looking at Lee Pacesetter 3-Die Sets for 223 Remington. One is described as "Ackley Improved 40-Degree Shoulder". What's the difference between this and a standard set? Dumb it down for me, I'm just getting started.

      What was that?

      OK, while camping this weekend out in Savage River State Forest, "What was that?" seemed to be a major topic of conversation. The one we are trying to figure out, what was making all the hooting and hollering during the night? There were several critters having some sort of debate around us. At...
