Is there anything that can be done to take the play out of an upper and lower receiver other than getting the shims (accu wedge I think its called). I have an upper and lower than have a little wiggle that I want to be a solid lock up. Thanks in advance

I am in the middle of building up a 300 blk on a complete Noveske 10.2" upper. So all I really have to do is assemble the lower. Not a big deal for 99% of the guys on here. Well I completed the lower tonight and it was quite enjoyable. I recommend anyone who shoots ar-15's to build their own...

Has anyone been following what is going on with the Caracal C line of pistols? I have no idea what the problem is with the guns, but they say it can't be fixed and need to be returned for a full refund. I dont have one and had no intention of getting one, but something like that would destroy...

So about 2 months ago I go to Powder Valley and order up 3K 230g Berrys bullets for the 45. They were showing out of stock at the time. After I placed the order I went back to the page to check on something else and thats when I noticed the blurb saying that they are no longer accepting...

Im sure this has been covered here somewhere already, but Sen. Lautenberg is proposing a new law requiring background checks on the sale of all "explosive powders" in any quantity. This includes our beloved smokeless powder. This of course is being done in the wake of the bombings in Boston...

So my long awaited SOE battle belt arrived and this thing is built like a tank. The problem I am having is figuring out how the heck to attach a holster to it. Im running a Raven holster for my Glock 19 and a Bravo Concealment for my G21. The battle belt can open up on the underneath side for...

I purchased quite a bit of 844 about 5 months ago to use mainly as a plinking load since I was told its H335 in a poors mans label. The information that came with this said to just use the H335 load data as well. As I said, Im mainly using this as plinking ammo for up close, inside 100yd...

well not really a rant on the system, just some venting...So Im neck deep in my 3rd of 5 5gal buckets of 5.56. I'm resizing/deprimming the brass with one tool head, pull the brass off and swage if needed, clean, then on to the Giraud for trimming. Im doing it in batches of 5 gal buckets. As I...

Gun is a Larue OBR 7.62 w/ 18" barrel. Cases are once fired military brass pulled off my range military range. Bumped the shoulders back and loaded to OAL of 2.80. Powder is RL-15. I went out today to do my ladder test. Start charge was 35.8g and final charge was 44.0g. Distance I did the...

My search fu sucks these days so I'll just ask here. I have been using a Dillon press for a few years now, a 650 to be exact. When I reload my .223 I have been using H335 with good results. I meters well and I have been happy with it. I am getting into .308 now and looking for a good powder...

Im sure this topic has been beat to death on here, but my search fu is not working so well tonight. I am getting ready to order a Harris Bi-Pod and wondered what length you guys recommend. I dont plan on shooting from a bench much, mostly prone. Will the 6-9 be good or do I need to stretch it...

I know this topic has been beat to death, but.... I am not new to reloading, just new to .308 reloading. I am awaiting the arrival of an OBR and want to start getting up to speed with the reloading so I can hit the door running when it gets here. I have ALOT of 7.62 that I pulled of our range...

I was offered a military transfer out to California and was looking for a little help with their gun laws. Im a Texan and know nothing about how business is done on the left coast. Every magazine i own is normal capacity. All of my AR's are Texas compliant. I have an OBR that should be arriving...

Can anyone tell me if the Sierra 5th edition includes data for the 223 69gr SMK using H335 or 748. In looking at some of the reviews, one of the complaints was that it was very limited in its powder listings. I dont wanna spend the money on the book if it doesn't list the powders I use...

We reload all of our rounds on a dillon 650. Cases are trimmed on a Giraud trimmer. Brass is a mix of mostly military range pick up that we swagged and whatever else is sitting on the ground when we sometimes shoot at civilian ranges. We are not that picky since we are mostly shooting inside...

I'm new to .308 and 7.62, but not new to reloading. I've always had the approach of quantity over quality as we were shooting LOTS of rounds per month of both pistol and carbines with a max distance of about 150yds. Well about a year ago I decided that I wanted to add an AR-10 to the mix and...

Well hello everyone, new guy with a question that I am sure has already been asked a thousand times. I finally decided to make the plunge into the longer distance world and decided to go with the LMT MWS in 308. Originally I was looking at used guns with chrome lined barrels, but have come...
