    Hunting & Fishing Shooting and eating Bear

    BBQ, pulled pork style, didn't cook it so don't know how, but its damn good. Otherwise its mostly been sausage, snack sticks and a few roasts.

    KNS anti-twist pins?

    Not neccesary. Good for looks, if you're into that sorta thing. Some report a cleaner trigger pull post install from the better finishing. My experience, which is limited, the FCG pin holes are far more likely to become loose due to disassembly with the wrong tools and/or by a meathead, in this...

    What beam powder scale do you use?

    I have a Redding Model 2, it works, I don't especially care for its main scale being graduated in 5gr increments, and minor scale being five grains broken down by tenths. I started reloading using my dad's equipment, an old Hornady scale, an excellent unit, easily zeroed, tens scale, single...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Diamondback DB9

    We own a DB9, it is small, light, the recoil is far from objectionable, its quite accurate considering what it is, has usable sights, and one of the best trigger pulls I've felt on a gun so small. Its a gun I want to love, but I don't. It had issues within 50rnds, isolated it to the recoil...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Damascus 1911 by Dave's Metal Works

    I really thought I'd like it, turns out I don't, certainly unique, maybe if the folds were finer, maybe if the trigger wasn't damascus. Looks great otherwise, nice photography. Who makes the sights? or are they in house?

    benefit to the anti rotation trigger pins?

    If you have a receiver that for whatever reason the pins walk out of, which I've seen, they are considerably less money than replacing said receiver and fix it as long as everything remains close enough to proper geometry. They can moderately improve the feel of a trigger as they are machined...

    When do I stop tweaking a load and start practicing more with it?

    In your situation I'd say when you're bored with chasing a perfect load, or when you start to suspect maybe you're not seeing the full potential of your loads because they're better than you are. It is obviously a decision only you can make. I like chasing loads, but every now and then I have to...

    Good pants without drawing attention or looking like a tacti-tard.

    No body cares about your pants, generally. Camo in town will get you noticed, built in plastic knee reinforcments, or shit bristling from every pocket will too, atleast by me. If you wear cargoes/bdu style solid color pants you will not stand out, especially in a brown or grey, unless of course...

    ammo shelf life

    Internet rumor, NRA may be partially responsible for its existence, I think at one point they made mention of some politician(s) or organization calling for it. Who doesn't love a good conspiracy story though. Consider though, first you have to make it decay predictably in a manner that makes it...

    Can't believe Armalite

    I think its comical people are making a big deal of this. Yeah it'd be great if all firearms companies boycotted those states, but it ain't gonna happen. Colt, FN, H&K, Glock, will never stop selling to any gov its legal to, and would likely happily hand over any info they have about owners, but...

    Redding Vs Lee Press & Match Dies

    Re: Redding Vs Lee Press & Match Dies My Lee Challenger flexes like crazy, it's very obvious when setting a die to full length size, the Rockchucker I used to use did not, atleast not nearly as much. I haven't noticed any serious variations in COAL attributable to it and not variances in...

    Factory Yamaha video with AR's shooting it up.

    Re: Factory Yamaha video with AR's shooting it up. Well go Yamaha. Atleast they know who a large part of their market is and aren't scared to embrace them.

    Primers

    Re: Primers If you aren't right on the edge of having too much pressure and don't want to go thru development try a few and see how they do. In my Varget .308 load only changing primers I found CCI200s delivered the best accuracy, 210Ms were a close second. Your results may vary, and if you...

    Looking to move to NC, RTP area

    Re: Looking to move to NC, RTP area I grew up in NC, spent most of 19 years in AK thinking I wanted to come back. I was wrong, very wrong, its probably better than CA, I've been there but never lived. I think there's one public range in the state, lots of indoor and short pay to play or...

    Did i buy the wrong dies?

    Re: Did i buy the wrong dies? They will net the same result as a FLS, as you said there will be an extra process on the press compared to using an FLS. You may need more bushings than what you have, they are not one size fits all brass of a given caliber.

    Define a complete upper for me

    Re: Define a complete upper for me While it'd be nice if complete uppers included BCG and charging handle, that has not been my experience too often, I don't recall ever seeing it. Seems when I was looking they either weren't included or there was an upcharge for them from most if not all...

    most youd pay for non windowed pmags right now?

    Re: most youd pay for non windowed pmags right now? $13 tops, I have no need for more mags. The only reason I can imagine to pay the inflated prices in order to have a hundred or more on hand is with hopes that legislation will pass and allow a healthy profit to be made on them. I understand...
