      Questions about chamber polishing

      Well I just got my bore polish and tried it out. Was more difficult to clean out than advertised, but ive never used any other polish so I don't know how much worse it could've been. The casing marks are now at 30% of what they used to be which I guess I'll have to live with. I mean, its...

      Some questions about JB bore polish

      More pictures and ideas. Please respond if you know ANYTHING. Here is another picture and something else I noticed. At first I thought the small line was caused by the stripper clips I had been using, so I took a completely clean round to test on and the line still shows up. I have a...

      Some questions about JB bore polish

      Do you think a copper brush will work just as well? I also have some thick wool brushes. Although I think the abrasive might just ruin the wool...

      Some questions about JB bore polish

      I'm having a small problem with my mosin-nagant and have some pictures to help explain. I noticed that after cycling a few rounds there would be a build up of copper wash on the lip of the firing chamber, as outlined in picture number 1 I thought it might be from a sharp edge or metal file...

      Good Samaritan Shot While Helping Save a Family

      Jose Espinosa? Execution style? 4 armed masked men? Sounds to me like he was involved with some of the local drug cartels...

      Karma is a you know what ….

      Maybe this is proof that you shoot yourself more often that you shoot somebody else! Maybe we should just give free firearms to criminals and they will all send themselves to the hospital where we can cuff them!

      Just escaped from ILL-inois!

      I do admit I miss woodfield mall and all of the fancy restaurants. I'm a bit of a foodie and while there are plenty of asian markets around here there aren't any european marketplace I can find so far.

      Ranges near WL that allow steel core?

      I just bought myself 500 rounds of non-corrosive lead core for around 250 bucks including shipping costs. I guarantee its the best public deal you can find online for the price. I posted a link to it on the ammo section sticky.

      Ranges near WL that allow steel core?

      While it is true it penetrates more than lead, its only SLIGHTLY more. 7.62x54r 147 gr Steel Core, Silver Tip, Bulgarian | The Ammo Channel The reason they use steel core in eastern bloc surplus is mostly because it was cheaper. Same reason they used corrosive primers for nearly everything...

      Ranges near WL that allow steel core?

      Well I email LCC about steel core ammo and they replied simply with "no magnetic ammo". I asked again for clarification telling them 99% of 7.62x54r is steel cased, and they said that was fine as long as you pick it up after. But if I were to buy some cheap surplus, according to the email I...
