    Sidearms & Scatterguns Cause of this malfunction?

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Cause of this malfunction?

    Makes sense, I'm thinking/hoping it's just my loads not being hot enough. Gonna throw a few tenths more powder in them and see what happens.

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Cause of this malfunction?

    They are the same for 9mm, 357 sig and 40. Would you say this is a failure to eject?

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Cause of this malfunction?

    What would you guys say the cause of this is? It's a m&p 40 with a storm lake 9mm conversion barrel and I'm shooting 124 grain round nose bullets hand loaded with 3.9 grains of 700x at 1.135 oal. I get this maybe once every 75-100 rounds so it's not happening alot but it is frustrating. I put an...

    Different degrees of bolt lift.

    It seems like 60 and 90 is the most common of bolt lift/throw degrees. What are the pros and cons of both for hunting and target shooting?

    Vortex razor made in China?

    To my understanding, the vortex razor line of binoculars and spotting scopes have always been made in Japan. A buddy just bought a new pair of razor hd 12x50s and it's "made in China" I haven't checked them out yet nor would I be able to tell the difference because I had never looked through a...

    Over gassed due to large gas port?

    i have two 16" mid length ar15s. One is a smith and Wesson with a standard/gov profile barrel. When shooting my predator hunting hand loads that are loaded near max according to noslers load data, it ejects at about 3 o'clock. Now that same exact load in my newly built ar15 ( not all same brand...

    20" ar15 barrel under $300?

    Looking to add a 20" upper to do some more precision/longer shooting with my 223 ar15. I've been looking around and have heard that the faxon heavy barrels can be hit or miss for accuracy. What do you guys like that fits my bill, maybe you guys know of some current sales that will keep me in...
