      Quick help on an SKS

      Great catch Half-Cocked! It does sound like it was modified at some point for removeable magazines and not something I even thought to ask about. Thanks for your reply!

      Quick help on an SKS

      Greetings everyone, I mostly lurk and rarely post but was hoping for some quick validation on the legality of inheriting an SKS from my uncle that recently passed away. My Aunt doesnt have much info on the rifle, but believes it to be an SKS 7.62X37. The rifle is currently in Missouri and I...

      To Cast or Not To Cast THAT is the question

      I started out melting down wheel weights to reload my .40 glock. I did find that the wheel weight rounds did leave a fair amount of leading on my barrel but nothing that couldnt be scrubbed out with a brass tang wrapped in copper chore boy scrubbing pads. Shortly afterwards I found...

      .22 LR Ammo

      One vendor had 500ct .22lr's for $35 cash only so I picked up a box. Walked two booths down and saw the same 500ct box for $75 and asked the vendor how he ****ing sleeps at night. I got a good chuckle we he tried to argue that nobody at the show was selling .22's for less than he was until I...

      How Long Did Your HQL Approval Take?

      Mine was approved today and the license number is listed right on the website after logging in. Do I have to have card in hand at the gun show in Frederick this weekend, or will providing my license number suffice should I find a handgun I just cant live without :)

      Another Problem with My New Glock 17 Gen3

      I remember hearing that the feed on some Glock barrel's could stand for a little smoothing out, check out this video on the Glock armorer's course (http://youtu.be/E4AL3nXOxGw) and go to the 2:25 minute mark where he talks about this. Not sure if it will help but the picture you posted...

      Making the jump into reloading

      For a few bucks more and a little legwork you can really make those savings back by casting your own bullets. I have a 2 cavity bullet mold and a Lee electric induction furnace and just cast 377 rounds with 342 keepers in about 2 hours. Took me about 3 hours of walking around town and asking...

      Making the jump into reloading

      I recently made the jump to reloading as well and chose the Lee suite of products based on cost and ease of use. I took it a step further though and started collecting used wheel weights from local tire shops and began casting my own bullets to reduce costs and increase the fun factor. One...
