      Reloading 9mm Largo

      Hey guys, quick question. I know some dies can be used for more than one caliber of the same diameter. I know a guy who loads 10mm with his 40 S and W dies on a Dillon 650. My question is, can you do the same thing with 9mm Luger and use the dies to load 9mm Largo?

      Dillon Press Question.

      So I have a little confusion about Dillon presses. I currently use a friend's 650 to load 9mm. Im looking to get my own press and am trying to clarify the main difference between a Dillon 650 and a 1050. Can anybody help me out? Im wondering what the big advantage is to a 1050. Does Dillon...

      Browning Citori Barrels Are Stuck

      Hi everybody! I had a Browning Citori come across my bench in the last couple weeks that had a problem where the barrels would not come out of the thing. I took off the buttstock and examined the internals and was able to pull the hammers back a hair more with my fingers to allow the cocking...

      Enfield No4 MK1 bolt head

      Hi everyone. So I picked up 2 projects that I have been looking for for a very long time. I got an FN Mauser action chambered in 35 Whelen and a hacked up Enfield No 4 MK1. The Enfield had a barrel that was shortened to 18" but the bore looks ok. I can salvage the gun as a good shooter but I...

      Browning Buckmark is a complete POS

      After fighting with this abysmal design for 3 days, I have come to the conclusion that the Browning Buckmark makes the top 3 worst 22 pistols ever made. Anything that relies that heavily on a weak v spring and the grips to hold everything in is a completely ****-on-a-boar useless design. Now...

      Browning 10/71 Standard .380.

      Does anyone know off the top of their head whether or not a magazine from a 1910 Browning or FN will fit and work in a Browning 10/71? The pistols are very similar and I am looking for a 10/71 magazine (with no luck, obviously). Any input is appreciated.

      AK receivers and flats

      Hello everybody, I was looking into building another AK but its been 6 or 7 years since I did my last ones. I was wondering who makes good complete receivers with good full heat treats or who makes heftier , thicker flats. I was looking to fab up a receiver that closely mimics the strength and...

      S and W 27 cases dragging the frame after firing.

      Alright Ingo, Ive got another classic here. S and W 27 4" barrel that had some issues with a couple burrs on the ratchet. I stoned them off and it worked fine till it was fired again. Im fairly certain that its because the cartridges are dragging the back of the frame and the hand is working...

      SW 29-2 cases getting stuck.

      Hello INGO! Been a minute since I last posted so I figured Id give you guys something to ponder. I have a SW 29-2 44 mag in which 44 mag cases bulge so badly they have to be tapped out with a rod. The gun looks in excellent condition and I was hesitating to jump to the headspace conclusion...

      7.62 nato

      Anderson AR lower

      I have to admit, im not up on all the brands of AR parts out there. What do you guys know about Anderson lowers, if anything? They are made in Kentucky and actually look decent. A LGS has them by me for $79 stripped.

      Gonna need some training.

      Ok, I gotta start by saying that I am by no means ready financially or with my schedule for training. However, I have realized for a while now that I really want to get trained in defense and combatives by people who really know what they are doing. I am looking for suggestions on what I...

      Carbide Rifle Dies.

      Probably a stupid question, but does Lee make Carbide dies in 308? How about 303 Brit and 243 Win? Anybody know off the top of their head? Thanks.

      Barrel Nitriding

      Has anyone on this forum ever had a barrel nitrided? I havent and dont know anyone who has done it after the fact (instead of buying a gun with it already done). I like the concept as I am a big fan of chromed barrels. However, as we all know, if a chromed barrel isnt offered in what youre...

      Can somebody school me in night vision scopes? I dont know much about them and have never used them. I see some gen 1 scopes in Brownells now for under a grand and some gen 2 stuff in the same place for under 2 grand. Also, I know there are such things as N/V filters that go on the end of...

I have always loved the scout rifle concept and am gonna be working on one, if not more than one in the near future, probably from milsurps...
