Re: Case polishing

Per the “experts” walnut is better at getting heavy contamination off, and corn cob gives a better shine. I personally haven’t seen that big of difference. As to SS pins, I’ve used it some. The one comment I will make is that while the results are pretty, decapping is necessary and when dealing with...

Re: Are all ~.30 caliber bullets really this interchangeable?

That’s kind of unusual. Stabilization requires faster spin rate (shorter twist) as the bullet gets longer. If the bullet isn’t stabilizing and it’s a lighter bullet (which almost universally means it’s shorter) it should have very good stability, even if it’s not the most accurate choice in that rif...

Re: Are all ~.30 caliber bullets really this interchangeable?

Well, the difference between the .310-.311 bullets and .308 bullets is somewhat variable. I’ve shot a couple ak’s with .308 bullets and they shot as well as the .311’s. Bore diameter in a .30-06 is .300, groove diameter is .308-.310 nominally. The .303 British is .303 bore diameter. Some rifles are ...

Re: Good place to have barrel chopped

Truth be told, if all I wanted was to shorten a savage barrel (no threading, etc.) I’d buy a crowning tool from Brownells and making sure I was over 16” just take a hacksaw to it and recrown it myself. Of course if it’s been shot a lot, I’d take the chamber end off and rechamber the thing, but that’...

Re: Pistol grip options

Optics planet is a pretty big euro gun import place.

I’ve brought a few high end items from them.

Not sure about how well they update their website for inventory, but they are a legit operation.

Re: Man who shot/ killed his friend gets probation

I think is 365 has to be served in prison, less than that can be served in county jail. He has a manslaughter conviction. He pled to that. That is the felony. Where he serves and how long doesn’t make the crime different. DEI sentencing. What a joke. The guy shot someone stupidly. Somehow I don’t th...

Re: 10mm buldge issue

Another common one is trying to crimp the cases too much. Usually that oops is obvious as to what is happening.

It really shows up if the cases have poor QC and have OAL all over the place.

Re: 10mm buldge issue

Where is this bulge exactly? I have seen bulges from seating the bullet slightly to one side or the other (the case doesn't properly center in the shell plate and the bullet leaves a bulge in the case where seated)... usually this shoot, albeit with a bit less accuracy. The only time I have seen bul...

Re: NFA Tax Repeal Advances in “One Big Beautiful Bill”

While I agree that it has nothing to do with a budget reconciliation bill, and I’m hopeful that this precedent will stand for all the other nonsense that the Dems continually put in budget bills, I have my doubts. The deep state is very interested in keeping as much under the control of bureaucratic...

Re: Urgent action needed on suppressors

Frankly, I don’t see how removing the $200 really fixes things as long as it remains an NFA item. The $200 is not that big a deal… the regulatory burden and getting mother-may-I is the bigger problem. From what I’ve read of the posting above, it’s not removing them from the NFA. It’s just making it ...

Re: Need a thumb safety for 1911?

Newer gun, bad safety… unless you did a trigger job on it this is on the manufacturer and should be a warranty claim item.

I wouldn’t buy a new safety. I’d get the gun fixed y the folks that let a problem out the door in the first place.

Re: Pistol Carbines

I’ve got a couple. To be contrary… I’m not saying they should be banned/restricted, just that they are not particularly necessary. I’m not really that impressed with them- they are neither fish nor fowl. The two main uses I have for them are training for other weapons and gun games that require them...

Re: Review of the Semi-Auto Ban by William Kirk

Literally.

If this is the commentary I heard, it won’t make them illegal if you have it… just illegal to transfer one.

You die, and the gun is to be destroyed or sent somewhere else.
