      Neato French PA50 Accessory, Armory Storage Box

      That’s pretty cool. Have to admit the hunt for accessories like that is addicting. Deep in lockdown my version of the COVID Crazies was to obsessively look for Swiss ordnance accessories. Model 1950 is a tough pistol to find. I went to the Tulsa show last weekend and only saw one that was in...

      Where to buy MREs locally

      This. Usually they have the actual MREs, but sometimes just the cheaper ones that are made by the same contractors, but have less stuff in them.

      Reuters article about Swiss shooters - K31s!

      Rutlischiessen is one of the historical matches, which are very different from the usual 300m prone shooting that Swiss shooters do. They’re interesting as hell, with more of a festival atmosphere—a lot of food and booze, with maybe only 15-18 shots in the match. Winner typically gets a SIG PE90...

      How long is it safe to keep MRE’s

      To be fair, Steve got botulism once.:D

      California CCW requires psych eval

      CA CCWs are issued by a CLEO (usually a sheriff, but not always), and are good for the entire state, including extremely anti-gun places like San Francisco County. The psychological evaluation is a standard CA CCW thing. A few counties that are basically Shall Issue still have them on the...

      Anyone have firsthand experience with a Fulton Armory Rifle?

      You should definitely try out the CMP carbine match if you ever get a chance—they’re a lot of fun and the Fulton carbines are ideal for it.

      Powder mesure PSA and leaving powder in powder measure

      I was religious about emptying out my hopper, but just to test this I left smokeless powder out in 65 degree/65% humidity for three months…no change in weight. Mind you, this was single base, so a nitroglycerin powder might be more hygroscopic. OCD still compels me to empty the hopper every time.

      cleaner burning powder for Revolver

      Typically a double base vs. single base issue, especially with the older formulations. If fouling is an issue, I’d go with a modern single base powder.

      Building a 1911

      To anyone interested in building a 1911 I’d suggest Oldham and Kuleck’s “The M1911 Complete Assembly Guide, Volume 2”. Ignore the stupid name—it’s actually a modern build guide. Also ignore Volume 1, and I’ll dare to say it……people always suggest the Kuhnhausen books, but both volumes are...

      Left-Handed / Ambi Gun Recommendations and Opinions wanted

      As mentioned above the CZ85B is great for lefthanded shooting, as are the Gen5 Glocks. The Walther P88 and HK P7 are completely ambi, but are expensive. Some guns are not made for lefthanded people, but arguably work better for lefties, like the Colt SAA, AK, and Feinwerkbau AW93. I also...

      Best Korean BBQ around NOVA/DC?

      Another vote for Oegadgib. It might seem weird, but “Mother-in-law” has the opposite connotation in Korea than the US.

      CMP 1911's

      I don’t think you’ll have to wait that long—it’s looking like there are only around 13k orders for 20k pistols.

      Wop 7.62 M1D

      That actually isn’t a bad price for these.

      Hornady Dies Pissing Me Off

      The zip spindle is just the long rod sticking out the top of the die, which is tightened down by a nut. It controls the depth of the decapping pin. You use it to lower the decapping pin. It’s made to slip rather than break. If the decapping pin is already very low, it could be your spent...

      Gunsmith Stones?

      I use AM-8 Boride Engineered stones. They make them down to 120 grit (doesn’t correspond to sand paper grit) and up to 1000 grit, which are good for things like sear surfaces. The only problem is you have to buy them in bulk and they basically last forever. You actually can use PSA paper or any...

      M2 Ball Reloading Concerns

      That’s right, and individual shooters on the team are welcome to try their hands at reloading. Every great competition gunsmith has one bizarre conspiracy theory/pet peeve/quirky voodoo gun belief that is issued to him by God Himself, and I assume “no reloads” is Charlie’s.

      STOP BUYING !!

      People tend to conflate panic pricing with scarcity pricing. I suspect if the current Administration let things be (which they won’t), we would see the panic quickly subside, but not the scarcity. Then 5.56 would “only” be $0.60/rnd, not $1.20/rnd. Despite widespread scarcity, every panic...

      Corrosive powder?

      This. It would be a good idea to get rid of the powder since the NOXes it’s forming are toxic as hell. Might want to open it outside as well. The cans would still be salvageable for display. That’s the problem with nitrate esters. Once the stabilizer (usually something like diphenylamine)...
