    Jewel trigger failures in the field?

    Considering that Remington has recalled all its M700 rifles because of trigger problems, it's no wonder that people are polarized to trigger brands. My old Rem trigger from the 70's works great set at a low pressure, because I like a light trigger. Bought a Rem 700 Varmint in 223 a couple...

    What am I doing wrong with this Lee Factory Crimp Die?

    The one question I would have, would be are your cases the proper length? If you have trimmed them too short, they would most likely not reach the crimping part of the die.

    oooops! can i have my drone back ?

    Doesn't surprise me at all. I had one of my packages delivered to a home 2 miles north of me, because the relief driver that was working the route just threw packages out on random door steps with no signature or confirmation. My normal driver who had been on vacation told me the asshole also...

    School me on gun safes

    As has been mentioned, fire rating is very important. You will find that many of them use layers of sheetrock as the insulation for the walls, so you can always beef up 5 of 6 surfaces with extra sheetrock, so having the safe larger on the inside will aid in that. Safes are rated by fire...

    Solvent to remove Imperial Sizing Die Wax

    I tumbled them for an hour or longer with SS, water, Dawn soap and lemishine. They all came out with a thin coat of wax on them. I'm liking a liquid wash with no SS to simplify the whole process. I know acetone is a great solvent and it evaporates immediately. I wonder about denatured...

    Solvent to remove Imperial Sizing Die Wax

    I'm sizing my cases with Imperial Sizing Die wax and then running them through the Giraud to trim and chamfer. I'm wanting to tumble them in SS media with some type of solvent to remove the sizing die wax. The Dawn liquid soap and Lemishine isn't removing the wax. I know I could used dry...

    Gunsmithing Gun tool ideas for a hunk of D2 tool steel?

    D2 is designed to take impact, like for punching or cutting tools. Yes it would make good knife blades. For general tooling, A2 is better because you can machine it out, heat it up to cherry red and let it cool and it is hardened. If you do go to cut the D2 with a saw, don't use coolant.

    HELP: Starting to load for my M1A

    One thing you can do to your rifle that will give you a bit more latitude in bullet selection, is to install a Schuster vented gas plug. The Schuster plug has an adjusting screw in the middle, which varies the gas path so you can cut down the amount of gas that pushes on the operating rod...

    Unexpected Surprise with Stainless Steel Pins tumbling media

    I've been using a depriming die to remove fired primers before I tumble clean my cases for reloading, so that the media can clean the primer pockets. I have the older size media that just happens to stick in the flash holes every now and then, and up till now I have observed it in pairs or...

    Another newbie question about once fired 308 milt. brass.

    If you have a chance to sort through brass to select the ones you want, get yourself a case gage. I use Wilson, but there are others. Cases that have been fired in small chambered guns will go almost all the way into the gage, whereas the oversized cases might stick out the back of the gage as...

    Suppressing M1a socom with shuchster adjustible gas plug and delta p thread adapter help

    I have two of the plugs installed in my M1A's. With each, without the suppressor attached, I started to fire standard LC loaded ball ammo. As delivered the plugs are wide open, so the action doesn't cycle upon firing. I began to screw in the plug 1/2 turn at a time, firing one shot and...

    You idiots are gonna get fucked...

    Hell I was told years ago, that if you did something as simple as write a letter to the editor, you would get your own FBI file. Monitoring all the forums on the internet must be an enormous task for them. No wonder the NSA uses computers to do it.
