      308 reloading help...stumped

      I just made a batch of reloads for my 308. This was using 1x fired winchester brass (fired previously as factory ammo in this rifle), and I also tried some military brass. The main issue I had is that the rounds were a bit stiff to chamber. There was more resistance to the bolt handle than...

      AR NM Upper build

      Built my second AR upper. Well, this is the 4th one I built or rebuilt, but the second one for me. This guy is a RRA A2 upper, with a WOA service rifle barrel, the WOA service rifle float tube and handguards, and the WOA front sight assembly. Went together just fine. This sucker is HEAVY...

      Optics decision help

      Bit of background here...I have been looking for a scout type, lighweight rifle package for a while. I liked the idea of something light and handy, that you can shoot with both eyes open at low mag, and dial up if more reach was needed. I never found a true scout set up I liked, but i...

      O/U entry level options - who knows what?

      My brother scored a pretty good deal on a Mossberg Silver Reserve at the last 1500 show. He took me trap shooting for the first time in my life shorty after. I have a remington 870 that I did pretty good with, considering my first time and all. So I was thinking I might want to get an o/u as...

      WTS: Turkish Mauser and ammo

      I've got a Turk Mauser in decent shape. Wood is decent, and the rifle is easily service grade. Still shoots good to 100+ yards. Haven't tried it much past that. Also have approximately 190 rounds of surplus ammo from the '40s. I assume this is corrosive so have always cleaned the rifle...

      WTS: Comp Tac CTAC for Kahr P45/CW45

      I have for sale a very lightly used CompTac CTAC holster for a Kahr P45/CW45. May fit others, I don't know. I used this holster irregularly for a couple a months before I switched to carrying Glocks full time. It is as new. It has the J-clip style belt clips which work great and are...

      1911 firing to half cock...need some help

      I had under taken a project to build my own 1911. It came together great and shoots really straight. I am having one problem though. At the range, the gun will occasionally fire to half cock. Sometimes once per trip, sometimes 10 times in 50 rounds. What I have noticed happening is that the...

      WTB: 80% 1911 receiver (maybe other 80% models as well)

      Putting a feeler out there to see if anyone has a 1911 80% receiver they want to part with. I'd be interested in new, untouched examples and would like to know the original source as well. If you have another 80% receiver, such as a 10/22 or something else entirely, let me know. I may be...

      WTB: 22 pistol w/ threaded barrel

      I'm putting a feeler out there to see if anyone has a threaded barrel .22 pistol they are willing to sell. Primary interest would be a Ruger Mark II or Mark III. May also consider the Ruger 22/45. The Pac-Lite uppers for the Mark II/Mark III would also be an option. May consider others, but...

      Question on 223/5.56 reloading

      While I'm quite experienced at loading pistol caliblers, I am not at all with bottlenecked rifle cartridges. I am considering starting to load 223 and have a few questions. 1. While researching dies, I've seen a few user reviews that say 'dont use this die for military brass...' But as I look...

      I am looking for a Savage Hog Hunter in .308, with the accutrigger. Price based on condition/accessories. I am in the NWI/Merrerrville area and would be willing to travel a moderate distance.

      WTS/WTT: Turkish Mauser and Ammo

      I have a Turkish Mauser from 1944 for sale. It is in the condition you would expect for these rifles. You can see in the pics the state of the finish. The wood is still in pretty good shape. There is no appreciable rust that I can see. It still shoots pretty decent at 100yds, even with...

      Caracall Recalls all their pistols

      This may be old news, and if so I apologize. But the Caracal 'C' pistols have all been recalled. Apparently, whatever safety issue they had they are unable to fix, and are recalling their entire production and issuing refunds. I just saw a notice in the back of American Handgunner magazine...

      Progressive presses --- what's good these days?

      I was just sitting here thinking.... Years ago I got a Dillon 650 and have been loading happily along. It was premium priced compared to the other brands back then, but the consensus was that it was head and shoulders above in terms of quality and reliability. Well, it is still demanding top...

      3-gun questions

      So I've paid the cable company a ton of money, and just saw that part of what I get for that is the Outdoor Channel. They had a show on the other night called 3 Gun Nation - which basically taped the country's best 3-gun shooters winning prize money. It was awesome. I am curious to know if...

      Hello from NWI

      Hello, I've posted a few times but I guess I've never actually stopped in and said hello. I've recently moved back here from out of state. Grew up on the Illinois side just on the border, but am now officially a Hoosier after 15yrs moving around the midwest. Glad to be back. I hope I can...

      Starke County Ordinances?

      I'm hoping I have this in the right sub-forum. My brother and I are looking at getting some land in Starke county. Probably 10-15 acres. There are several plots around, but all have neighboring houses, also on a few acres in most cases. I'm looking for any information that would prohibit...

      New to State, couple of questions

      Hello, I'm new to the forum, and new to the state. I grew up around NWI but have been away for college and work for nearly 2 decades. Now I'm back. I'm coming from a state that was very NFA friendly. Now I live in the Crown Point area, and would like to finally take the plunge to get a...
