Re: MY AR 15 is a bad choice for my situation right? My preference would to be to live in Texas and do whatever I want. For those less fortunate, i'd go with the mini 14. Like others have said, its for close quarters and the mini would be just fine. If you need to shoot further you could...

Re: Help me pick a 1911 And Kimber is nice, but not worth the price I think. I would never place my life on Kimber's reliability either, I've seen way to many jams for my comfort.

Re: Help me pick a 1911 I have 2 Springfields that I love, A Mil-spec and an Operator. Both shoot better than I can and have no reliability problems. The next 1911 i'm going to buy is a Dan Wesson Bobtail. Ed brown parts at CZ price. Bobtail is perfect for duty, carry, or target.

Re: 5000 Standard Winchester LR Primers found $50 per thousand sounds like taking advantage to me, but I guess if people are willing to pay that price I can't blame him.

Re: Using Small Pistol in Small Rifle primers place I would tend to think there are small rifle and small pistol primers for a reason. usually when there is a marked differentiation like that there is a reason for it. I doubt all the component companies got together and schemed how they...

Re: XD45 with 200gr LSWC feed problems I was having failures to extract when I shot 200 gr LSWC through my XD, but they would function fine with my 1911. I think there was not enough power to cycle the action, that is a stiff recoil spring on the XD. My loads were just under max so I...

Re: Anyone tried Dixie Consolidated bull pup? Nice, i'll have to look into those. Thanks.

Re: AR 15 build I've had good luck with Cobratactical.com and spikestactical.com. Stand up guys.

Re: Remington 700 VTR A friend of mine has a VTR in .223 and he shot a 5 shot group that made a single ragged hole. I was pretty impressed. If you are experiencing problems, I think replacing the stock will get you the most bang for your buck improvement. The rifle is capable of incredible...

Re: Stripped AR-15 lower recievers? I got mine from CMMG in about a month but I placed the order soon after the election. If you e-mail them they might be able to give you an estimate on back order. I was in a local gun shop the other day and saw 4 CMMG stripped lowers in stock for $140. I...

Re: 187,000 glocks! That sounds odd. Like I said, we are getting them by the truckload where I work, but maybe we are a priority customer? Then again I'm in Texas, so maybe Glock has an airport dedicated to delivering guns to my state. We probably warrant our own distribution stream. Heh...

Re: 187,000 glocks! That doesn't sound right to me. I work at a gun store and we have more glocks in stock now than we ever have had. Bushmaster backordered yes, Glock, hard to believe.

Re: .223 carbide dies Thanks, i'll give that a try. I was trying to avoid lubing by getting the carbide so that definitely answers that. Matthew

Re: I am thinking of a new single stage press I've got no serious complaints with my T-7. I have noticed a little flexing in the turret though. .357 sig rounds didn't feed all that well, but it was a new gun so I don't know what the factor was there. 5.56 feed through my AR with no problem...

Are they worth the money? Dillon wants well over $100 for a single die. I find it hard to pay that much, but I do find full length sizing to be a bit laborious. I guess I was coddled by loading .45 ACP exclusively for about a year. Now lubing seems like a huge pain in the ass. I've been...
