      Questions on Loading Small Primer 45 ACP Cases

      Have reloaded SP 45ACP brass and have not changed my powder charge. I haven't chrono'd any of the SP reloads to compare. Have NOT found any with a crimped in primer.

      AR Rifle to Carbine "Conversion"

      I should have mentioned either carbine or mid-length gas, you can run the A2 stock on your gun without problems. Caliber 5.56 NATO or .223 Rem.

      AR Rifle to Carbine "Conversion"

      Answer: NO. It works just fine. Putting your carbine 16" upper on an A2 stocked lower, you may find it's actually quite nice. Perhaps it's the weight of the A2 stock, but it just shoots softer than the same upper on a carbine stock. That rifle buffer weights about 5.4oz or the same as a H3...

      best screwdrivers?

      The Brownells screwdrivers have always seemed nice, though I haven't owned them, except specific screwdrivers and bits for S&W and Ruger revolvers. I have a cheap very basic MidwayUSA set that https://www.midwayusa.com/product/1007360766?pid=297593 is so bad that I am convinced to not spend...

      AR question.

      Yeah, if you build they seem to multiply. We have built many PSA uppers into ARs without any problems. With PSA, what they advertise is what you get. Now, that Brownells brand (assembled by ATI) upper that I purchased, sold as Nitrided SS barrel with FF handguard. The barrel is probably 4140...

      My list of Rare Glocks

      I have a Gen 1 G17 with serial# DG*** US, purchased in 1988. Not a pencil barrel, but a Gen1. Yes, the adjustable plastic rear sight fell apart eventually and was replaced with Novak sights. The trigger/connector spring has been replaced at least once. The product literature that came with the...

      Ruger MK series pistol gunsmith?

      Don't really need to put the gun in a plastic bag to contain springs. The springs are small and not under a lot of pressure. Check youtube. Once you have disassembled a MK2 frame, it is not difficult to reassemble. Does help to have a slave pin or extra punch when assembling/disassembling the...

      AR Question

      Have purchased many an Anderson Lower Receiver here locally from FFL, Rural King or Cabelas. And have used the PSA complete (or almost complete, minus BCG, CH and possibly sights) upper receiver groups without any problem. Some of the kits at PSA include everything except the Lower Receiver. A...
