      Suppressor educational information

      I'm starting to get serious about getting into suppressor ownership. However, I feel like a complete idiot when I stop in a shop and look at the display. Just seems to be a bunch of black tubes, only differing in diameter and length. Are there any good resources giving pros and cons of...

      Roofing Options

      I've been having continuing issues for several w/ shingles blowing off of the house in high winds. Been in the house about 15 years. Roof may be up to 17 years old. I've never had issues w/ shingles blowing off before, so don't know if this is caused by bad installation, poor materials, or...

      Hellcat Sight options?

      I recently purchased a Hellcat OSP. First time out to the range I found that it was shooting 4-5 inches low and a little left at about 10 yards. I was able to adjust the red dot to point of impact, but it is then behind the front sight, which obscures the aiming point. The sights can be...

      Ammo that won't case gauge

      I've been reloading for many years, but have started using range pickup brass for 9mm. I'm seeing a sizeable amount that won't case gauge after the loading process. I'm tumble cleaning it, and then sizing with either a Dillon or a Lee sizing/depriming die, and then going through a typical load...

      Mechanic Problems

      My son has a 2005 2500 Silverado with a blown 4L80e transmission. He pulled the transmission and took it to a small shop in Peru which had provided good service to one of his friends. Guy said it would be 2-3 weeks. That was 9 weeks ago. Monday last week, was promised it would be done by...

      Furnace woes/troubleshooting help

      Granted, this is a first world problem, but went out to my detached shop this morning and the furnace stopped heating. It is an older Carrier unit, model 58ss100-bc, series 110. Gas valve is a model 646a-x if that matters. The draft fan runs, and the igniter is making sparks but the pilot...

      current value of firearms

      Sadly my very good friend and shooting buddy just lost the fight with the nasty virus. His wife never has cared for firearms and immediately asked me if I'd assist with documenting, assessing and putting a value on the guns so she can liquidate them. Given the current state of the market, I'm...

      Saga of the Cannon safe

      Saga of the Cannon Safe & Electronic Lock Back in about 2005, I purchased a 30” wide Cannon safe with electronic lock. Overall I’ve liked it, however, about 18 months ago, I started having issues with it re-locking, i.e. I’d close the door, move the handle and could re-open it without...

      Gunsmith for Marlin 1895 - "Letting in 2"

      I've got a JM Marlin 1895 cowboy carbine in 357 that has the dreaded "letting in 2" I got it shortly before being relocated to Indiana for a job, and never managed to get it sent back to Marlin for warranty work. The warranty is over and with the multiple ownership changes since purchasing it...

      quickload help

      Hello all. This weekend I was near a situation where a person had a 9mm cartridge w/ no powder which barely pushed the bullet into the barrel. He then chambered the next round but had to force the slide into battery (so the bullets were touching) and fired it off. Both bullets then hit the...

      Upgraded from Lee to Dillon dies

      I got started in reloading over 15 years ago, using used Lee equipment, including dies. Even though I've upgraded the press to a Hornady LNL with case feeder, I stuck with the original dies that I had. I've loaded umteen thousand 9mm bullets in that time with pretty good results, but lately...

      Questions on practical usage of a trust

      Hello all. Absolute newbie regarding NFA trusts. I'm seriously starting to consider purchasing a suppressor (or two) and have gotten confused about having a trust for them. I'm sure I do want a trust, just not sure the proper chain of events, and therefore have quite a few questions. First...

      Which 9mm 1911 target to get (and where)?

      So I've been following several of the recent "which 1911" to purchase. My one and only 1911 is a Kimber Crimson Carry. Although it is more accurate than I am, and now runs fine, it has been finicky with ammo in the past. Knock on wood, I've finally got that past me. I'm now wanting to get a...

      LTCH Suggestion/options

      Although I got my Indiana lifetime LTCH when I moved in 9 years ago, I'm starting to explore different employment opportunities that likely will take me out of state, most likely back to Illinois. Yeah it sucks, but gotta pay the bills somehow. Other prime options are Kansas, Missouri, and...

      Legality of buying guns for kids?

      So my children (young adults really) have been talking about getting concealable handguns. Trying to tell if I would be legal in purchasing a gun for each and giving them to them at Christmas. I don't want to even get close to the straw purchase clause. I know I can give them a gun that I...

      Hornady Lock n Load AP

      So, I've been reloading for over 10 years, starting with a Lee Turret press, moving to a Lee Pro 1000, but with my son and I starting to shoot informal IDPA once a week, I'm feeling the need to step up to something more robust and less finicky. After reading all the information I could find...
