Apparently she fully supports the rights of criminals to disregard all laws and everyone else's rights.

So if the 5.56 has a longer throat, does that mean it will typically be less accurate with .223? If so, when reloading .223, would it then be a good idea to adjust for the ogive of your particular bullet by manually chambering an unseated bullet to determine the best OAL for your gun's chamber to improve accuracy?

I've just gotten my first AR (carbine) and put 200 rounds through it. Is any of the buildup that you mention in the gas tube? I've been wondering if the tube ever needed cleaning, and if so how to go about it.

Would that include a mount?

These guys are good at having (making) hard to find parts. Just be careful tho. I bought 2 firing pins for an old Mossberg .22 and they were the only ones I could find on the net that sold them. One of them I had to file down the edges so it could move freely within the bolt (not a huge deal). The other one would not fire because it was almost a full millimeter shorter than the other and was getting only light strikes. Your mileage may vary but that's my experience with them.

Got mine this week. Installed and range tested it today. Quality parts and there is absolutely no take up on the trigger at all now. The trigger when from a mushy take up to none at all with a crisp break. The only problem I had was that I installed it according to the instructions but had trouble with the trigger not wanting to reset. I backed it out a bit 2 or 3 times and finally found the spot where the reset was no trouble and the take up was still 100% eliminated. Disclaimer: this could have been due to the fact that the trigger, as well as the rest of the gun, were brand new and never fired before installation. So it could have been a break in issue. I highly recommend this kit! Well worth the $. Much cheaper than a new trigger.

Is there any benefit with going with a single chambering versus one that can handle .223 and 5.56? I'm also looking to start a build in the near future possibly looking for long range target shooting.

This is not a tax on trees so much as a tax on Christians.

I believe it would be well within the LEOs right to ask to see your permit if he noticed you CC or OC in TN as neither are allowed without the permit. I would feel better having been asked since I did go to the trouble to get it and know that him asking could at some point deter or even prevent a crime by someone who does not have a permit and has ill intentions. As for states where CC and/or OC is legal without a permit, I would think that they really don't have a right to ask about it unless they have pretty good evidence that you are either up to no good, making a show of force or do not have the right to own or carry a firearm.

Why would you not show him regardless of the law?

I'm just getting into reloading for .44 myself. How much more trouble is casting and what would the investment be? I've read some talk about different alloys but haven't a clue about the benefits/pitfalls of them. One of my biggest concerns about cast bullets was fouling and having to clean that out. Is that a valid concern? I would love to be able to shoot that much more with cheap bullets.

I've run the numbers for reloading and assuming you recycle the brass every time, you can reload 9mm for about $.10 - $.14 per round (up to $.17 buying once fired brass every time). That depends on the type of bullets you use, with jacketed obviously being more expensive than lead. With that being said, reloading is a lot of work - call it sweat equity. Therefore it may be worth the $.17 per round from USAAmmo or $.20 Federal from Walmart to not bother.

Some people think that freedom means freedom to be stupid. He should have found out where the guy lived and drove his truck through his backyard. We used to get people in the creek behind our house all the time and they usually didn't like me asking them if I could go hang out in their backyard.

What kind of dies are you selling? I may be interested in some of those if you don't mind me interjecting.

I have the Lee Breech Lock hand press kit and have used it for depriming and priming 9mm brass. It's wonderful for these tasks as you can do it on your couch watching tv and it is extremely effortless. In fact, at first you are tempted to muscle the primer into the brass even after its fully seated because it is such a subtle feel. I can't speak for the rest of the process, but for depriming and priming its great and cheap.

+1 Sweat equity plus full control over the power of the loads. Just remember that with all the rewards you also get all the responsibility.

Just got mine about a month ago - took right at 4 weeks, then another 2 for the 2 inch thick reading materials.

I completely agree, but somehow can't help but hope that those unfamiliar with guns and HCPs would not immediately assume that a MWAG = mass shooting. It's a pipe dream I know. Personally, I never OC unless I'm in a 100% gun friendly zone for that sole purpose of not drawing that kind of attention from either the guy I would defend myself or family against or those that are happier not knowing. However, I completely support the guy's right to OC, but I think it was poor judgement to do it right next to school property right in the middle of everyone arriving.

That was at my son's school. I saw several cop cars rushing in that direction with their lights going, then several more staked out around the school. When we got there, a teacher was rushing the kids into the school. I totally understand the concept of concealed carry to not "spook the horses", but I wonder if more people did open carry (on the street, not at the mall) if the sheeple would become more accustomed to it and not react so abruptly and cause such a scene.

What types of items do they discount for the C&R and what is the typical discount?

I've only had my Mosin out once and I just dragged a bore snake with Hoppes through it twice at the range, then cleaned it again at home with no obvious ill affects. Probly put around 40 rounds through it. The Hoppes advertises that it works with corrosive primers so I would think it should work just fine. Maybe not as cheap as Windex, but I should have zero concern for rust.

Otherwise it didn't happen, right?

I'm in Catalogs this week for a conference. Were are some of the usual ones as well?
