Re: Tracers -- what are they for?

Who remembers these fun rounds? Shooting them through my MP-5 and my RO635 is fun. When they came out Hornady said they may not be on the market forever so I got a pallets of them. Only tracer I can say never caught anything on fire during use. I shoot a box every year or so and they all still light...

Re: Reloading demons

Well, it could be worse. I've been present when one of those Dillon 650s decide to detonate the primer magazine tube at a buddy's place. That's an attention-getter. KABOOM.jpg Bought one of the first 650 presses and Mike took it back in trade for a 1050 after mine exploded a couple months later. St...

Re: Thoughts on a Group Shoot and Site Cleanup Day?

Years back, RJ organized a big cleanup at Church Rd when it was outstandingly bad. Not two week later, s*** was piling up again. We had a bunch of folks out there with bags and RJs flatbed trailer.

Re: Bass Pro Smash N Grab

So if you’re doing a S&G do you just walk up and S&G or do you take a number and wait in line? Just wondering what the proper etiquette is on something like this. Don’t all their guns have trigger locks? How will they ever be able to use them. Just pointless. 20 seconds with the right drill...

Enjoy loading those Colt style mags though, they suck to load. I have 9mm AR's that use Uzi mags, H&K mags, Glock mags, but the Colt rifles are the worst with those crappy mags. They are hell on arthritic hands.

Re: SAINT IN 9mm

The bigger question is why does anyone ever even buy a firearm that Springfield doesn't even make but slaps their name on it? I don't think the modern Springfield Armory makes anything. It's all rebadged stuff from other manufacturers. Not sure that's a bad thing though. That's exactly my point. SA...

Re: 9MM die problem

If your sizing die and decapping pin doesn't look like this you need to adjust it to look like this. Only reason a primer doesn't get pushed out is the decapping pin is not adjusted right.

Re: Stolen guns sold via big box stores?

Pretty sure in Glendale they don't have a pawn license for FFL holders. I sold a couple guns to a gun store and he put a tag on it and put it on the wall two minutes later. Phoenix does have a pawn license for any company dealing in used goods. Serial numbers are sent it and I have been in a store w...

Re: Ok,...which one of you guys was this?

How do you accomplish digging a hole big enough to bury 3 stacked shipping containers and then place said containers in the ground without raising any attention to your activities? Asking for a friend? You build a large steel building over the area you want to dig and do your digging. Sadly police ...

Re: What do you do to stay sharp with your Concealed piece

Go down to South Phoenix after dark and you can get plenty of practice 😆 South Phoenix isn't what you think it is. What you're looking for is on the westside. I am in south Phoenix at least twice a week at the range and drive home after dark. My only issue with the drive home is the crazy homeless ...

Re: Factory second Bullets

why are they calling them seconds or blems, coating, forming, sizing ,ect. Could be a number of issues that are minor. Could be a scratch on the bullet or even the jacket is slightly off color. Could be the bullets are not consistent on weight. I have seen plated bullets that looked like orange pee...

Re: Taiwanese civilians taking up target practice

I shoot 4 days a week. I want to be ready so no matter what color the tonks are when they get here I can take some with me.
