  3. Thinking of building (or buying) an AR15-based SBR ... what options do I have for folding stocks?

    I've had an urge to get my hands on an AR15 pattern 300BLK SBR with an 8in or 9in barrel. Now, I have other toys, but what I'd want on this build is a folding stock. I know there are a number of options, but what I'd really want is a folding stock and the ability to fire the SBR with the stock...

  4. PSA: If you've waited a LONG time for that Tax Stamp

    Executive Summary If you've been waiting much longer than the expected wait time for your tax stamp, call the ATF on 1-304-616-4500, and have your name (or your Trust name), the serial number of your NFA item, and the transferor's name ready, and ask them when they estimate they'll have...

  7. Adventures in Reloading - Once-fired 308 Brass, Fluted Chambers and expensive gauges

    So, I've been on the press the last few days, doing brass prep of the 308 kind. A few frustrations because I'm a noob, some observations and a question or two. I bought in 250 "Once Fired" cases in 308 from a supplier I've used before. The brass arrived tumbled so first step was decap and...

  8. Recommendations for a Spotting Scope - Out to about 400 yds

    I know this one will get somewhat spirited - because I'm on a budget - but what's the best bang for buck on a spotting scope that needs to be 'good' out to about 400 yards if I'm on an $800 budget? I'm shooting targets, not game, so I'm not awfully bothered about weight, and given the...

  9. In OTHER industry news ... Vista Outdoor sell off numerous brands to Czechoslovak Group

  10. Sorta-like a bug, but really a feature?

    So, if a user replies to a comment in a thread, the board will mark their userID as a subscriber to the thread. If the user forgets, doesn't notice, etc, and scrolls up the page, the "Subscribe" button is present. If he then hits the button, a dialog box pops up asking if the user wants to...

  11. Adventures in Reloading - Milsurp .311/.312 - Slugging a Barrel

    So, I have here a Mosin, and an Enfield. I have brass, I have powder. I have primers. But what I don't have for sure is a decision on whether I should be loading .311 or .312 bullets for these two beauties, so it's slugging time! I will have some .32 caliber lead balls in a day or so, and I've...

    Small-Base Dies - maybe it's me? RESOLVED!

    So, I've finally progressed onto rifle cases. I have some neck dies for a couple of calibers, because my reloads will go in specific guns, and it's my understanding that that's the way to go. However, I have multiple guns, including auto-loaders, in 308 and 300BLK, so having done some reading -...

    What have you been doing at the bench today?

    Not actually reloading, but everyone's favorite - case prep! I was given a bag of used 30-06 brass and so a couple days ago, decapped it, neck-sized it, slapped it in the ultrasonic and picked out the (quite few) pieces that I didn't consider safe. Then, onto the Lee Case Prep stud in the...

  14. Another Dumb Question - This time - powders

    OK, So I've been doing a fair amount of research in general, and there's a lot of really sketchy advice out there on the internet - but the current situation with powder supply means that getting the powders cited in a reloading manual can be a real problem. Example - I went out to try and...

    Republic Ammunition - Primed 9mm Brass - 11c/rd before shipping

    https://republicammunition.com/product/9mm-brass-cases-fully-processed-and-primed-reman No commercial relationship with Republic other than I've been satisfied in my past purchases.

  18. Smartphones as Shot Timers - good, bad or lousy idea?

    Years ago, I owned a ****ty, cheap shot timer. When I no longer had time to shoot regularly, I gave it away to someone (if memory serves, to some guy I didn't like very much). Getting back into taking drills seriously, and I need to start thinking about how I'll replace that timer. Dedicated...

    Another Question - Case Failure on .303 British

    I recently bought a Lee Enfield, and via another recent purchase, picked up some ammo for it. Only a handful of rounds, but I took them down to the range to do a basic function check and christen the rifle. I'd had the gun checked over for headspace by a gunsmith who gave me the thumbs-up. Bolt...
