I picked up one today from an online auction.  I think it's sporterized but i am not 100% sure.  The stock isn't full lenght as I think of most milsurp rifles.  But what has me wondering is it has a steel but plate.  It just wouldn't seem to me a sporter would have a steel plate but back in the 20s or 30s who knows.  It is an eddystone.  If you are interested in a pic I could text it to you.  I can't seem to get pics uploaded on here.

I buy a lot of bullets from Everglades Ammo.     www.evergladesammo.com   reasonable prices include shipping

I've been reloading handgun ammo for a few years but am relatively new to rifle.  The oal of the cartridge is 2.107. The bullet is seated to just where part of the cannulure (sp?) shows which I think is right.  I am using Lee dies but not the sizing die.  I bought LC 5.56 converted brass that was already processed.  The brass will seat properly in the gauge prior to seating the bullet.  Haven't tried to load these in the gun.  Using a Lyman case gauge.  I'm now wondering if the shoulder is compressing when I seat the bullet.

I just loaded my first small batch of .300 blk using converted LC brass.  Set hornady sst .308 125 gr. The brass checks out on the case gauge. After I set and crimp the bullet the cartridge will no longer seat in the case gauge.  Neck is .334 after seating bullet.  Is it the shoulder? What's the remedy?

I've loaded thousands of rounds 9mm with Bullseye.

I saw some .454 on the shelf today at Everything Weapons at Cool Springs.  

Took my auto ordnance m1 to the range today for first time..  Very happy with it, no problems at all.  Now, I want more magazines.  Does anyone know if auto ordnance will function with other m1 mags or do I have to stick with the brand?

I buy my brass at the TWRA Firing Range in Antioch.  I think you can pick up 300 cases for $20 and it's already been tumbled.

You could buy your guns and ammo from Wally World. Then they would eventually put the local gun shops out of business like they have put so many other small businesses out. Then just on a whim, Walmart might decide not to sell guns or ammo anymore. Then where will we be?

Thanks for all the info. Think I'm going to Guns & Leather and have a look at 'em.

EAA 999175 WITNESS 9MM/22LR COMBO BL $419.00 SHIPS FREE

I'm looking at a new EAA Witness semi-auto steel frame in 9mm with a conversion for .22lr. I've never fired an EAA and wondering how the trigger is and how it shoots in general. It's only priced at $422 but in the back of my mind I'm thinking you get what you pay for. Any one have experience with EAA's?

I have one that shoots and cycles well but it is an up close and personal kind of weapon. The Ruger LC9 is comparable in size but has a longer trigger pull. I carry the PF-9 in a pancake slide holster under a t shirt and forget it's there. As far as recoil it's not near as bad as a .38 snubbie.

Just shoot it with a 12 ga. and then run back in the house real quick. Or maybe a live trap.

I have the micro in .45 which is sweet.

I carry a Springfield Micro which is the 1911 with 3" barrel. Great little gun.

Thank you very Muuuch!

It doesn't matter if Walmart has guns or not. You will not be able to get anyone to wait on you.

Brilliant suggestion.

aimsurplus.com is selling 91/30's for $69. They also have spam cans.

When I found out some of the people who were carrying, it made me uncomfortable not to be carrying.

I also live in Old Hickory and shoot regularly at TWRA just across the Percy Priest bridge. Get an annual pass for $101. or $5.50 for 2 hrs. come on out.

Excuse me. The above post should start with "I had a tcp" instead of lcp.

I had a tcp which jammed constantly. Sent it back to the factory twice and they never got it right. Also had a taurus j frame and a 709 slim and had problems with both of those. I no longer own any taurus and will not again. Presently have an lcp and after one jam on the first mag, never had another problem with it. I am now considering the Ruger lc9 for just a little more bang and cheaper ammo.

I don't use wd-40 just cause it never seemed to be a good idea to use a lubricant that's flammable. I use the same stuff my grandpappy used. 3 in 1 oil.
