Re: Smith and Wesson RevolveR EXPERTS

Taking the side plate off and cleaning would be my vote. I've had a couple of Smith's that when I took it apart they still had chips inside of them. Light oil in the wear areas, if its really old maybe new springs then try it again.

Re: CA Laws are so STUPID!!!!

Take it apart and ship it as parts, I did that years ago to ship a FAL into Ca. The receiver was not named and as parts they couldn't ding it on features because it was just a bunch of parts shipped in two boxes.
All I had to do is put it together when I got the time.

Re: NEW AMMUNITION PLANT TO OPEN IN TEXAS

I started reloading about 50 years ago, components come and go depending on who is in office. I'm shooting stuff I loaded over 20 years ago now and the primers are about the same age, no problems yet. I can still find stuff, but the price gouging is amazing. I think we have another 4 years of this b...

HP or RN it shot everything I fed it, no problems yet. I did read about some failures in the early SA35's but when I called...

Re: SCOTUS reverses lower court on firearm pocession

I always wondered about this, where in the Constitution does it say once your time in jail is done you still can't have a firearm ? Do we need to amend the Constitution to say this ? Just wondering what others feel about this.

Buy cheap, stack deep.

Re: Has anyone here sold a "ghost" AR15?

I know some that did, they separated the upper and lower, pulled the stock and handgrip and sold them as parts. Of course once sold they could go somewhere and help assemble their parts. this isn't kommiefornia and is probably different here but its an option.

Re: Pro Mag magazines

I tried some for my sig 232, they worked good with the ball ammo, not good with the hollow point. I bought a high point c-9 just because , the worst problem I had with it is terrible mags. Believe it or not the pro mags are better than stock. So there is that . BTW. I carry the 232 with stock mags, ...

Re: Depriming tool mini review

Interesting, I didn't know they made one. I just buy the old school lee loader and use the hand tools to deprime as needed. Its also nice to have the lee loader around to test load a couple rounds just to try out. I'm retired I can take all the time I want for a change.

Re: Remington Agrees to Sell Ammunition Business, Including Barnes Bullets, for $65 Million

This happens all the time in manufacturing, bean counters buy a company and run it into the ground. Strip the patents and sell them , sell all the machinery then the building. They will make 25 % on their investment and move on. They don't care about the people or product.

Re: Skateboard Hero CNN

RE: Perp #1, I read a report that Kylie didn't shoot him, the report said that there were 3 holes in him. One was in his back one in the arm and another one in his leg. To me the hole in his head looked more like he hit his head when he fell, more of a rip than a hole. Anyone see the same thing ?
