    I was cleaning up my gun room and found a G19 I’d never shot. It was a gift for my wife who had been asking for a 9mm glock for years but she didn’t want it. It turns out that any time I mentioned my 1911’s, she just got a kick our of saying: “aren’t glocks better” or “we should get a glock”...

    If you could only own 1 gun for the rest of your life, what would it be?

    tough question. have the zombies taken over? If so, 12” M4 if no zombies.... still the M4 or possibly one of my 1911s.

    Son of a !@##$

    I ended up with a POF .308. We bought 12 of them from a local agency who’s SWAT team had mothballed them because POF couldn’t keep them running reliably. My impressions are that the parts are of the highest quality but the assembly leaves much wanting. Of the 12 we bought, 5 of them went...

    What did you do in the reloading room today?

    I’ve let my reloading room go to hell. I need to get .223 bulk production going but I’m struggling with FTfire issues, just fixed the FTFeed issues but changing out to a factory crimp die on my 550 but ended up with about a 10% no-go-bang rate. What I have been doing lately is cleaning up my...

    6BR tube gun?

    Re: 6BR tube gun? See, that is what I am interested in. My wife just read this thread and I got an ear-full about a $2-4k rifle +dies and components... Do I really need to spend the money on a esoteric action, or will the stock 700 work? can I start with a 700 and upgrade when I start...

    6BR tube gun?

    Re: 6BR tube gun? I don't know that I have time to do F class, with a wife and 2 young kids, I get out when I can, and can seldom plan around an event. My budget, if I want this built within a year, would probably be around a trued 700 action. I would rather be around $2k than $4k.. and then...

    AR-10 First shot high???

    Re: AR-10 First shot high??? I am assuming that you are shooting at 100 yards, and 2-3 inches is quite a bit at that distance... if your theory (as it sounds to me) is that your bolt is not going fully in to battery when the bolt is dropped from the release, then I probably would not shoot...
