My LGS, McBride's Guns, has a claimed original M1-C sniper variant for sale. It is in very nice shape, and appears to have all the correct goodies. I certainly do not know enough about these to verify any claims of originality, but it certainly looks the part, the numbers are right, and they...

Just an FYI - There is a small, kinda overpriced LGS in Liberty Hill TX, that has more gunpowder in one place than I've seen in 18 months. (yay!) If you need a certain type powder though, there is a good chance to grab a pound or two to tide you over. The bad news - They are asking 37-39 dollars...

Nothing major at this point, I just need to have a few barrels threaded for suppressors. In the Austin area, and I'd prefer not to ship them if possible. Anyone have quality results they would recommend?? Thanks in advance.

I don't know too much about vintage rifles, so I wanted to ask the fine folks of the hide. I have been offered a Winchester model of 1917 in a trade. I have found values all over the place on the net, and so I'm not certain what I have here. Here's what I know: It is stamped U.S. MODEL OF 1917...

I am hunting South Texas hogs using a suppressed AR in 300 BLK. I've been using factory Hornady 208 sub ammo, and I'm seeing the 208 AMAXs going straight through, without evidence of much expansion. The exits look about the same as the entries, and there's not as much disruption in the engine...

Reloading components are a bitch to find, so I wanted any Hide reloaders who need primers to get some for what I paid. I tripped over a good quantity, more than I need for myself. If this post is against the rules, my apologies, Mods please remove it.

All the medium speed powders that seem to be recommended for 300 BLK are unobtanium right now. AA1680, W296, and lil gun seem to be the most recommended, but I can't find any. In my current powder inventory, I only have fast (Titegroup) and slow (Varget, CFE223, and H4831). I don't see any load...

Some of you may have read my recent thread I posted about my SOT losing my Thunderbeast can. Long story short, I ordered the can, TBAC shipped the can, and sent me an email when delivery was confirmed. When I go to my dealer to get my F4 started, they can't find it. I post here about what's...

Story so far - 6 Dec 2012, order a TBAC 22 L1 from Rangerwalker71 here on the hide. Great transaction, very nice guy to deal with, highly recommended. 1 Feb 2013, I receive an email from TBAC that they have a UPS delivery confirmation to my dealer. Great so far. Normally, the dealer takes a few...

Just got a ping from Midway, and they have 208's back in stock. I ordered mine, so you guys can fight over what's left.

Can a short barrel AR upper be legally used on a lower that has either an A2 or carbine buffer tube, but without a stock? Or is there a legal requirement for the specific pistol buffers that I see for sale. I'd like to pick up an SBR upper fairly soon, and my Form 1 on my lower is gonna take a...

My LGS had a shipment of ARs and powder arrive this morning, and while I was there, Rick Perry came in for a bit. No politicking, just looking at shotguns. He got a spontaneous round of applause when someone recognized him. After his telling DC to pack sand yesterday, I think most people in the...

Been looking for Hornady AMAX bullets in .284/162gr and .308/178 & 208gr. Can't find em anywhere. Anyone got a source?

Apologies if this has been covered before, I have a couple of cans in the ATF loop right now, and I was wondering whether the NFA market has been turned upside down in the same way the regular gun market has been. And if so, should we be expecting an even more drastic increase in wait times for...

My WalMart was cleaned out of .22 ammo, all they had left was 2500rds of Rem Golden Bullet, so I bought it. I know GB has a well deserved rep for being crap, but these are marked as new and improved, and the bullet design looks slightly different. Has anyone tried the new ones yet? Are they any...

Any recommendations for an adapter for 1/2-28 to 5/8-24 muzzle threads? Seems like a simple thing, but I want to get the best piece for the job. Fairly important to get a precision piece in that interface, I would think. Thanks in advance.

Been loading rifle rounds for a while now, with success. I thought pistol rounds would be easy. I loaded a bunch of 40 SW to use for 3 gun comps, but I'm having a reliability issue. The recipe: 40 S&W, Win brass (run thru a GRX die), 4.5 gr Titegroup, Berry's plated 165 flatnose, CCI Sm Rifle...

Hi all, Just asking for opinions/info here. I just picked up an FNH 'Patrol Bolt Rifle' in .308 (unknown twist) in a CL barter deal, and I don't know too much about them. It appears unfired, with a rubber stock, detachable box mag and a 20" barrel. It has an off brand hunting scope/rings on it...

First, let me say I've only been reloading for less than a year. Last weekend I had a dud primer in my .223 AR. Load was Winchester brass with careful prep. 77 SMK 22.5 g Varget Federal GM match primer. I loaded 200 of these, and they all shot very well, except one that did not go bang. There...

So, I am selling a motorcycle on the clownshow that is Craigslist, and a gentleman emails me about a possible trade. He proposed a trade involving some cash, and an AK with $8000 'invested'(!). Am I wrong in believing that there isn't enough room on an AK to affix $8k worth of stuff? I'm...
