    Gifted something kinda cool….

    First off let me state that these are not for sale, I’m not fishing for PMs to sell. If they ever come up for sale I’ll have a green name and they’ll be posted below. Was given these from a dealer as he won’t sell reloads. He knows I have the facilities to pull them down for components. They...

    Primer pocket swage….Dillon 550

    Has anyone used one of these in their 550? Primer pocket swage Using this while running military crimped primer brass through the trimmer seems like a good way to kill 2 birds with one stroke of the press.

    New prefix for Bear Pit threads

    If memory serves me there used to be a DIY prefix in the past. Would it be asking too much to have that back. We have multiple DIY type threads currently and it would make finding them easier. Thanks..

    What do I need to use/have to untilize the night vision reticles. It has 2 settings on the illumination adjustment dial. I have a chance to do some after dark coyote hunting but have no idea how or if I can use this scope. I have no experience with anything night vision related so be gentle………😏

    Cerakote durability…..

    I’m looking to rehab a table saw that has a painted/coated finish on the top. Would Cerakote wear well in this application and if not what would be a better option? Powder coating is available locally too but I’m concerned with the thickness…

    Tikka UPR stock…

    Had one of these come in for a paint job, never handled one before. The line down the middle that bisects the stock is different than anything I’ve seen before. Is this typical of Tikka / Sako composite stocks? Is it strong, stable enough? Other than the curious construction it’s pretty...

    Savage / Magpul question...

    First off let me say that I don’t know shit of anything Savage. If this is something simple and I need a beating for asking go ahead...... Had a buddy bring this Savage 10 BAS by this afternoon to see if I could see if there was a way to shorten up the LOP. As it sits now it’s damn near...

    Suppressors Well, fuck me runnin......

    Looks like a baffle let go in my Harvestor causing a bullet strike. Difficult to get a clear pic of the internal damage.... Been nothing but happy with this thing. Hopefully SiCo can repair it and get it back in service. Anyone ever have to send one back to them for repair?

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Hmmmmmm........just a little......

    ........or a lot over pressure.... Took a new shooter out yesterday for some informal target shooting. Grabbed a bag of leftover IPSC major .40 S&W loads.

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Glocks and cast bullets.....

    I don’t keep up on anything Glock related but seem to remember in years past that it was verboten to use cast bullets due to the type of rifling used. Is this still a concern, was it ever really a hazard? Have a buddy that bought one (his first ever handgun) and is having trouble with it...

    As new Redding 3 die 9 Luger set. Set includes a full length sizer, mouth flaring and bullet seating die. Dies only have about 150 rounds on them. They just didn’t work well in my Dillon 550, dimensionally they are a bit on the short side for that press. My loss, your gain..... Looking for...

    Retrofitting a used stock......

    Had a buddy stop by wanting to know if I could fit a Boyds stock to his newly acquired Rem 223 Tactical. Stock was previously used on a Rem 700ML so there were a couple things that needed attention. Had to fill the ramrod slot and the notch for the bolt retention screw. There were no...
