:shrug: No idea.   I'm just saying that the friction created by stripping a round off the top of a magazine should slow the bolt's forward travel enough to make it a non issue.

Most I've read about were single loaded for slow fire competition rather than magazine fed. Was that the case here?

It's usually pretty good.

Anyone here ever experience a slamfire with an AR?   I don't mean a guy who used to work with your cousin heard about one, or you read about one in an internet chatroom, but actually had one happen to you.

I've never weighed a charge of powder for a muzzleloader. As for metallic cartridges, I'll weigh charges and calibrate my powder measure for a baseline, and periodically weigh a charge to ensure nothing has changed.   I find accuracy as good using volume derived charges as weight based charges.

Most any small rifle primer will work fine in my experience. Some will swear by the CCI 41s, and I'm sure they'd work great, but I've never used them.   I do believe the AR was designed to feed rounds from a magazine. I would expect the added force of the bolt when singularly chambering around could increase the unlikely chance of a slamfire.

What is Taptalk?     Sent via a young hispanic male running out of my barn with a file folder under his arm.

So a friend or neighbor isn't allowed to leave a gun with me for the purpose of me making them a holster or repairing their gun since I don't have an FFL or business license?   :hiding: Uh oh.

I would expect a dealer to stock extra magazines for any new pistol he stocks. Is that not the case?

I wish I knew what are destined to become the next Colt Snake Guns......we'd all be stocking up.

One. That's all it takes to make one function properly, and most people never use more than one anyway. Anything more would be a waste for most handgun sales, and would only serve to drive up the price.   Extra magazines are available for virtually all current model pistols if one wants to purchase more.

...and 38 Special in a 357 carbine is something virtually no one would object to.

There are many many times the amount of 9mm produced yearly compared to 45. I'm guessing just government contracts alone account for more 9mm than all 45 produced.   It costs x amount of dollars to set up a factory to load for a certain caliber. The more rounds produced, the less money you have to attribute to each round to recoup these costs.   Also, the 45 takes more raw materials.

Lack of quality will keep in off the collectible list.

Depends on the gun. I have quite a stack of AR and AK magazines, along with several m1 carbine and mini 14 mags. A pretty good pile of 1911 mags reside here as well.   You just don't run down to WalMart and pick up extra mags, however, for a 1907 or 1917 Savage.

If history is any indication, I'd look for something uncommon. The Remington R51, while a dud, will undoubtedly be sought after in the future as there aren't many in circulation.   45 GAP pistols, Some of the plethora of short magnum chambered rifles that went by the wayside, etc.   High quality and scarcity are two determining factors in the value of collector guns.

Yeah....you ain't gettin' all three.

If we have a civil war in the name of gun control. I think I want to be on the side that has guns. :wave:

Well heck! Laugh at me or something!   I'm getting a bit uneasy.

A death in the family, house burns, or you find out your child has a terminal disease. Most everything else is simply a bump in the road.

I stumbled across this place on the net, and decided to take a chance and order an upper from them. I ordered last night, and this morning, receive a shipping confirmation from them. So far so good.   Anybody buy from them? They have 15% off site wide and free shipping on orders over $200 right now.   http://androcorpind.com/index.php?route=product/product&path=80_102&product_id=107   I thought this seemed fair when you take off 15%, free shipping, and no tax.   I understand the QPQ finish is similar to nitride or melonite.

You'll get over the printing fear once you carry a while and see just how little other people notice you.   I look for conceal carry, and rarely see it except for very obvious examples. When I do see it, I immediately watch others to see if they appear to notice. NO ONE EVER DOES.

This.......and don't be surprised if you can't fire a 32 ACP in there as well, but I didn't tell you that. :cool:

  Honestly, it's a time issue with me as well. If my freezer is about empty, and I have a slack weekend ahead, I'll shoot whatever offers an opportunity because I know I'll have time to process it. When the freezer's full, or time is at a premium, I'm waiting on a trophy.   I know where you're coming from. I can't speak for everyone, and am only offering my thoughts.   A lot of trophy hunters I know give us all a bad name by doing immoral and illegal things in order to take that big one.   Any deer is a trophy to me. I've never killed a record book deer, and never expect to.   I find that as my kids are getting older and killing more deer, I'm spending more time watching and less shooting.
