Built a M4orgery several years ago, 16" barrel. I would like to add a free float tube. How do you determine the correct length? Also, which brand/model do you recommend? I only need one rail (under). Thanks much, CT

A friend of mine's son is crossing over to the Boy Scouts later this month. I thought a multitool would be a nice present for him. Which model would you recommend for a Scout? Thanks much, CT

I have a set of RCBS .270 small base dies. Can these dies be rechambered for another caliber? Just a thought. CT

Dumb question. Does the AR-10 BCG need to be disassembled and cleaned and if so, does anyone have a link to the disassembly/reassembly instructions? I've heard that the BCG is different from an AR-15 type BCG. As always, many thanks in advance for excellent advice, CT

I'm thinking seriously about upgrading to a powered trimer. In your experience what are the pros and cons of the Dillon and the Giraud. They are both a chunk of change so your comments will be greatly appreciated. Thanks, CT

In addition to the erosion ring around the firing pin hole I've noticed pitting and/or gouges on the bolt face. I built this rifle four years ago and am now getting around to working up some loads for it. The BCG is DPMS and I've fired less than 300 milsurp/reloads through it. Is this normal...

Is there any advantage to bumping the shoulder back .003-.005 for an AR platform? Should I try to set up the FL sizer for a "bump" or just follow the RCBS instructions? I tried to bump back the shoulder but could not get the die down to bump before it bottomed out on the shellholder. Has the...

I'm trying to work up a load for WIN 55gr FMJBT bullets. The most accurate load so far is 25.7 gr H335 in prepped Rem brass. Shooting through a scoped DPMS 1/9 barrel, the best group is 2" which is way better than what I get with M193 or PMC. Is this the best I can expect from this bullet...

I'm entering into the advanced stages of reloading and needed to check my cases by chambering and closing the bolt with the FP removed. Thanks Lowlight for the video. Since I had my tactical flipflops on, I modified your procedure by wrapping cord around my wrist, pulling back, and turning...

Finally got out to the range today to check my load development for 55 GR .223 Best accuracy at 100 yards was with 25.7 gr of H335. According to the "books" this is a hot load but there were no flattened primers or swipes. Morgery, 16" Win brass Win 55gr FMJ What do you guys think?

I'm getting ready to take the cerakote plunge. I'm having a problem finding 120 grit aluminum oxide. Any suggestions would be appreciated. CT

Gentlemen, Many thanks for all your advice in the past. I have a B&S 607 that is .001 off. Should I live with the error or adjust the rod? Many thanks, CT

I'm looking at Starrett models 449, 440 and 450. Which model do you recommend? Thanks in advance for advice and candid comments I'll be getting! CT

Thinking of using eBay to get a new dial caliper. I'm a Starrett fan but heard that Starrett is now Chineese and people prefer Mitutoyo over Starrett. If so, which Mitu model? Thanks much, CT

I'm confused and need you guys to square me away on load development. I've worked-up several loads for the 700 and AR-10. They are very accurate at 100 yards for factory guns and I'm happy. My current load for the 700 is 43.3 Varget under a 175 SMK. However when I read suggested loads on the...

I'm working up a 175 gr load for my stock PSS. Started with 43 - 46 GR of Varget seated to 2.800. 44GR appeared to be "the" load. I went back to the range with 43.3-44.1 in .3 GR increments to confirm the load but seated to 2.810. 43.3 was "the" load. I shot the loads in round robin...
