      Holy Cow!!!! Just got the email. My MD concealed carry application was just approved!!! IN JUST 25 DAYS!!!!

      I applied on Sunday, 17 July at 6:59PM. I got an 'Accepted' email on Monday, 18 July at 3:04PM. Added info: 1. I have an HQL 2. I completed the transfer of three handguns, purchased in Pennsylvania, on 25 June. I wonder if possessing an HQL or a recent purchase makes a difference?

      Polymer coated ammo and bore fouling

      I have only used HiTek coated bullets from Missouri Cast Bullets and Bayou Bullets. And have used them almost exclusively in the last five or six years. I have never had fouling as you described. Usually I use a brush in the barrel for 10 to 15 strokes followed by spraying diluted Ballistol...

      Removing frozen firing pin cover - lost cause? [Iver Johnson revolver]

      I have a Stoeger double barrel shotgun with firing pin bushings. These bushings had three outer holes around the center firing pin holes. When I started to have some light strikes on the shot shells I was told I had likely peened the front shoulder of the firing pins by dry firing. To replace...

      I want a 9mm brake to tame rifle

      I have a Kaw Valley linear compensator on the AR-9 I built several years ago. It really cuts down on the sound when you're behind the gun. As for reduced recoil, I don't know. There isn't much recoil from a 124gr 9mm bullet. So I can't recommend you get one if that is your primary interest. I...

      Which electronic earmuffs to buy?

      I got these when my ancient Dillon electronic muffs began cutting out on me last year. I also got the gel sealing rings The gel sealing rings are more comfortable than the OEM foam ear pads.

      Replacing firing pin retaining pin on CZ P-01

      Good to hear your problem has likely been solved. I have two suggestions for you, though, as an unrepentant dry firing addict. 1. As an alternative to a snap cap, go to a hardware store and get a few small O-rings to put in the back of the slide around the back of the firing pin, wedging it in...

      Brass baggies for separation during tumbling

      My wife saves all of the produce mesh bags for me. I have an entire collection of bags in a rainbow of colors and varying sizes. Some have a very fine 'weave' while others are so large that I can't put small cases, like 380 or 9mm, in them because they work their way out through the mesh holes...

      Corroded ammo from Cabela's

      Years ago I bought two cases of Winchester 12 gauge low noise/low recoil shells that had been water damaged. The sprinkler system in the gun store's storage area had failed with a slow leak. A pallet of these shell case got thoroughly soaked over a holiday weekend. The store was selling them at...

      45 Colt: All around load

      Buff7mm, You're right. YMMV. But for my mileage all of the guns I keep around for self defense are loaded only with ammunition from Federal, Remington or Winchester. We all have to make decisions and trade offs with regard to firearms. This past weekend I was shooting with a friend, He had...

      45 Colt: All around load

      Not to be a downer but I suggest you think twice about supplying reloads for self defense. For plinking and target shooting OK. But self defense loads are too important to be left to our handmade rounds. A good box of JHP or hollow point semi-wadcutters from any of the large ammo manufacturers...

      M&P9 CORE/Trijicon RMR

      Yeah. But are they now? That needs to be verified. I suspect either the RMR sight and/or its mount is/are not properly aligned with the bore axis correctly or, more likely, the iron sights are no longer properly adjusted. 1. Remove the RMR sight and inspect its mount and the mount's attachment...

      Dillon care and maintenance?

      Ultrapanet, Yeah. Some of them bounce off the back of the spent primer cup. Cut the ends off of an aluminum soda or juice can and then make a cut from top to bottom. Flatten it to make a rectangular sheet. Measure the width of the inside of the spent primer cup and the height of the cup. Add...

      Dillon care and maintenance?

      Ultraplanet, I've been using a RL550B for almost twenty years. It a great press. But it does have one notable weakness -- the priming system. I did some polishing of the primer bar and that did help to smooth out its operation. I made sure I cleaned the press, the primer bar and the primer feed...

      Need help. Handloads keyholing/tumbling

      Have you slugged your barrel to determine its diameter? If it was rifled to something like .356" or .357" your bullets may not be wide enough to get a good seal. That, in turn, will reduce their speed and result in under stabilization (which leads to tumbling bullets). Measuring your barrel's...
