    Looking for quality small parts Colt AR 9mm

    I have a Colt 9mm 6951. I would like to buy some spares such as the stainless steel trigger pins, similar bolt and fcg. Anybody know who has these that isn’t a Chinesium dealer in disguise? Thanks for your help. Amanda

    “New” Remington 700 showing up in your ao, or just retreads?

    Stopped by my LGS to look at what they told me was a new Remmy 700 short action rifle. They had three in stock. All were look-alikes with an RAR prefix serial number. The counter guy had never heard about the Alpha models, the change to a bolt release on the action body, or any other changes. I...

    Radian customer service experience

    One of my Radian Raptor charging handles failed last week. The left side latch hook sheared off and was only noticed when removing the bcg for cleaning. The fracture appeared to be at a porous casting area. I called Radian up, sent them a few pictures, and asked for a new left side replacement...

    Bergara Customer Service experience

    Called Bergara after I found out my HMR PRO .300 WM wouldn’t ignite CCI-34 NATO spec primers. Ever. Bergara service rep said they would send me a new spring, and it would work. He did, and it worked. Wolff couldn’t help, nor Brownells. The spring is longer than the original, and a bit harder to...

    Accurate Mag nosedive issues in AT-X in .223

    After changing my mind about buying a KRG, I bought an AT-X chassis from MH. Stuck my .223 Remington SPS 5-R in it, and found out the difference the chassis makes compared to the factory Hogey Samich rubber stock. Group size using 69gr Noslers went from 1.5” to <0.5” at 100 yards. The chassis is...

    Is this a Factory or a Lightweight Remington 700 Firing Pin?

    While doing load development with my 700 in .223 Remington, I used factory loads and my handloads. My 73gr ELD handloads using CCI 400 SR Primers worked 100%. Federal factory 55gr FMJ loads worked 100%. ALL NATO spec loads from the factory, the ones with crimped and/or sealed primers, failed to...

    Is it possible to build an AT-X in .224 Valkyrie using a factory action?

    Howdy, I notice that the AT-X action is found in either 6 or 6.5mm only. Is it possible to get a bolt face for an AT-X factory action that will accept the 6.8SPC case head of the Valkyrie, have a barrel made up, and be able to use the .224 Valkyrie? If so, which magazine would be the best fit...

    Best folder on a Remington 700 chassis?

    Howdy folks, I have the itch to purchase a folding chassis to replace the issued Hogue rubberized plastic stock on my 700 SPS in 5.56mm. Comparing the Cadex to the KRG, MDT Carbon Fiber and MPA folders. I am after most solid rigidity when locked open, AICS Mag capability and adjustable...

    Remington Primers Gone per Midway

    I had two “Notify Me” tickets in for two different Remington Primers for the last few months. Today, Midway emails told me that Remington Primers are discontinued. I guess I should keep the last brick of SP Remingtons that I bought locally, for collectors items😹

    Found Retumbo & H1000 in NC

    Check out Blue Collar Reloading in Salisbury, NC. I just snagged 10# of Retumbo and 2# of H1000. Only primers they have are LP, but they have popular brass and bullets, and are well-stocked with many flavors of powder. Prices are mostly pre-Kung 🤒 Flu. 🤡

    Police & Body Armor

    Since before the Antifa mess started, police have been getting shot to death with increasing frequency. I have noticed that many have been shot multiple times, with some being able to obtain help and survive, while others are dead right there. Do police in general wear body armor, or do many...

    Dillon Precision response to a small problem

    I decided to load a few thousand pistol cartridges, since my rifles are waiting on some new bullets. First round the primer slide failed to pick up a primer. Ten tries later, still no primer. Took the primer slide out, caliper said it was small enough to slide freely, but it stayed stuck, even...

    Let’s not forget about Congress

    Seems to me, who voted a straight Republican ticket in NC a week ago, that all of the worry about who is the hmfic is misplaced. The Senate seems to be the only actual roadblock to the commies. Trump does a great job for being clueless, except he continues to surround himself with conniving...

    If I anneal, and trim, resize and reload more than normal, when do I get casehead sep?

    Just asking. Coming from mainly pistol reloading, I now reload for .300 Winchester Magnum. My normal process is take my virgin brass, usually Winchester or PPU, place 50 in the loading block and inspect the case mouths. PPU, I find few, if any issues. They are ready to uniform the flash hole...

    Twist rate fail with 230gr. A-tips for .300 WM- I didn’t read the fine print.

    I found some 230gr A-tips at Midway, in stock. Looked the pics over, and ordered 300. They arrived today, plastered with the requirement for a 1x9 or faster twist rate. Of course, mine is 1x10. Midway makes it easy to return these, so no big deal. However, I am wondering if anyone has tried them...

    90gr SMK in Valkyrie-seating ring mark on bullets due to seating die?

    Wondering if anybody is having the problem of their seating die leaving a circular ring on the bullet’s ogive? I use a Bonanza Co-Ax, and it allows very gentle seating pressure. My Redding seater die works fine for Hornady 75gr bullets, and does not leave the ring. However, when loading the 90gr...
