I just went through a process to find the lands in my barrel, by disassembling my Savage bolt, and removing the spring loaded ejector. During this process, I realized my resized cases would not allow the bolt to fall smoothly, without interference, when testing to see if the bullet was touching the lands.

I solved that issue with some new Lapua brass, but it got me looking more closely as to whether or not my Forster full length resizing die (with interchangeable neck bushings) was actually doing anything. I put some once-shot Federal brass in the die and it doesn't appear to be resizing the body of the case at all. It is making the neck smaller and lengthening the case though.

The dimensions on the case at the top of the body, near the shoulder, and the dimensions of the case at the "web", near the case head, appear unchanged. These dimensions are still larger than the specs the Hornady book suggests the case should be. I can still get the case to load, by turning the bolt down, but it is not interference free.

Should my die be resizing the brass to the book specs or smaller, to better fit in the chamber, or do I want a pretty tight fit with the cases?

I am going to start reloading 5.56 using LC brass. I need to remove the crimp from the primer pocket but I don’t want to swage. I would rather lightly trim the crimp out and give it a good bevel. I see 3 good options out there.

1. 21st century innovation adjustable depth uniformer

2. Burstfire crimp removal tool, I like this one because the cutter geometry seems to be a little more refined vs the other 2 options.

3. K&M uniformer. This comes preset but is adjustable.

Scumbag Dems!

Doing a little market research on the current state of riflescopes...what does your perfect scope spec look like? Length, weight, mag range, features, glass quality vs other features at a given price point, etc. per use case? What are some thing that currently available scopes are lacking for a given price point or use case?

Any and all feedback is welcome. Many thanks.

So, some time ago I was working on a new build and launched the buffer retainer and spring. I was able to find the buffer retainer but try as I may I was unable to locate the spring. I checked my bench, I checked and double checked open boxes around the bench. I don't know how long I spent on my hands and knees with flash light and magnets looking under the bench and everywhere else within reason with the room. I finally gave up and borrowed a spring from another lower parts kit to finish my build.

So tonight I'm assembling parts for another build and pulled out the lower parts kit that I borrowed the spring from. I decided to give it another try and broke out a flash light and magnet. I went back through the boxes and was ready to get down on my hands and knees and look under everything. I was at the corner of the bench where the spring went flying months earlier and looked down and what do you think I saw? You guessed it, the buffer pin spring laying in plain sight on the carpet! I couldn't believe it. Since loosing it I've worked on several projects in the same area and never saw it. Tonight it was right there, how could I have missed it.

Have you ever had a similar experience be it a spring, small roll pin or anything else?

Newsmax ("Wake up America") is reporting (and they showed a TV interview of him) that David Hogg is running for DNC Vice Chair????

Are you kidding me?????

I recorded this video after chambering another big name barrel in the premium barrel world that had quite a bit of run out. To be fair the other barrel shot exceptionally well and on par with what we have come to expect. The run out does not make a difference in how it shoots but makes my life easier when indicating a barrel in. Please forgive my attempt at humor in the video description.

This time they didn’t beat up an old drunk lady they found laying bleeding on the side of the highway- they just told her to fuck off and then she was run over by an 18 wheeler .
They didn’t even steal her belongings or money .

She did ask for help fleeing her abuser but they had a policy not to help people .
No assault no theft no policy violations- splendid work all around .

Brand new in box ACC Elite in Titanium Blue (see pictures). Offloading some gear from builds I’m not going to complete soon to have extra funds for Christmas. Sold.

Team.
Looking for some insight. Currently running a USO B17 with H102 reticle. Know I’ll catch some hate but love the optic and reticle. Works perfectly for my primary mission of killing animals out to 600m.
Usually kill 75+ pigs a year, a few deer, and an elk. Ranges from 50m to 600m.
However. Glass quality is lacking. Tried to shoot a pig (BIG FUCKER) at 750m at last light and had a lot of trouble picking it up in the scope. This is my primary weapon, a 6.5cm AR that puts meat on the table. I also enjoy shooting steel out to 800m on a regular basis with it as I build my wind reading skills.
Traded in some shit I wasn’t using and have a preferred budget of around $2500.
Want to keep the USO to gift to one of my sons, so can’t trade in.
Missed out on a used Kahles 525i that would have been perfect at my LGS.
As I’ve gotten older would like a little more magnification, so thinking at least 5-25 range.
Weight is a consideration. Could have gotten a great deal on a gen3 6-36 vortex razor, but it’s a heavy pig, and think the 6x low end will be too high. Also reticle is too thin on edges.
Needs a tree reticle. Prefer center dot.
Considerations:
Kahles dlr 525i at top of list but over budget. Yes can wait and save more, but looking for options I might be missing. If glass quality is that much better I’ll save and wait.
Zeiss LRP S3 4-25 currently at top of list.
Leupy Mk5hd 5-25. Love the weight. Son has 3-18 but don’t think glass is any better than current USO.
Also currently running 34mm rings and would prefer not to change if don’t need to.
Can get veteran pricing. Sons can get active duty pricing but trying to go through LGS to use store credit.
NF 4-32?
Anything else I’m missing?
Appreciate the help, thanks in advance.

Thank you for your interest. I have them priced individually but will gladly bundle.

That's what this guy says and he may be right. I hope Trump tell China that the next nation to use biological warfare will get 1000 American ICBM's in exchange.

Looking to start a collection/list of "Conspiracy Theories" perpetrated by the Left/Media that have been proven to be true. Examples: Russia Gate, Hunter's Laptop, etc. If you have anything please share it. I know that there are some good graphics and memes out there, but with all of the internet censorship and filtering, they can be hard to find. Thanks in Advance!

Looking for info, options, and recommendations for an auto lift. This is for private use, although I suspect word will spread and it will get used a bit, maybe even as side hustle doing vehicle maintenance. Who knows.

A. Needs to be able to lift a Chevy crew cab duramax 4x4. (Not sure the vehicle weight)

B. Must be a two post, (Does not want a 4 post)

C. There is no restriction on height, we have very high ceiling.

So, the questions…

1. 10,000lb or 12,000lb? Or?

2. Asymmetrical vs Symmetrical ? Pros and cons? (We may want to be able to put vehicles in either direction)

Brands?

Thanks for reading!
Thanks for any input!

Just got rocked by a good shaker in Nor Cal. Anyone else feel it??

Problem resolved, thanks to EO even with the long wait.

Over the past 2 years or so I acquired a couple of Garands from the CMP, all "expert grade". The one that I've been fooling around with is an IHC (depicted above) but I've been having some challenges getting it to feed properly.

I'm using newly manufactured enbloc clips that I purchased from ammogarand.com, and have used Garand specific factory ammunition to replicate the M2 ball ammunition from Federal, S&B, & Winchester and keep running into the same feeding problems.

The "expert grade" M1 Garand from the CMP is supposed to be pretty much gtg, new stock, new barrel, etc. but I've got to say this rifle is just giving me a world of issues to get it to feed properly and I don't think I've ever gotten a proper 'ping' from it yet after... 150-200 rounds by my estimate.

I've been trying to research this phenomenon and all of the suggestions seem to point to a weak ejector spring but as far as I can tell, the spring seems to be practically brand new and working properly.

The rifle is also properly greased (using Moblie 1 Synthetic in case anyone would care to ask) but I'm still not getting that desired ping/proper function from this particular rifle. So I'm reaching out to the experts here on how to get this warhorse back in the fight...

Could it be that all of the newly manufactured Enbloc clips are what's giving me fits or is there something incredibly basic/obvious that I'm just missing?

Good morning all. I sent in a B25 for warranty service. It was received at the factory on October 15th. Prior to this, I had never had a problem with getting ahold of tech support or customer service by phone or by email. I always had a response withing 24hrs. They suggested a 4-5 week turn around for the repair. Its been 7 now and I have not been able to get ahold of anyone, by phone or by email. Has anyone heard anything about the company in general recently?

Thinning the herd to fund a new 6mm. Have my B14R done by Modacam. It has a 24” Kreiger barrel with a 1:16 twist with a 1.2” full barrel. The bolt has been polished, lift ramp contoured, and Crossroads Precision aftermarket parts. Will come with a Timney Hit currently set at 5.5oz but is adjustable obviously. None of the chassis are included but are shown as examples of how it fits in an ACC elite.

Will include 3 B14R mags. One standard, one with +2 L3I ext, and one with Hoz & Shield +5.

I actually got this rifle from Josh on Pursuit of Accuracy. It is a laser beam! The BA is the exact one shown in the video below;
