      Why does my 115 gr bullets weight 125?

      I am getting back into reloading after a 7 year time span. I still have a full 1000 bag and partially used bag (about 500 count) of Precision Delta 115 gr 9mm bullets.

      Murat Theater Security Fail

      Some coworkers and I went to the Murat Theater to see Straight No Chasers perform on 12/12/15. Not really my thing but it was a work related event. My wife and I were running a little behind and the show had already started. We had never been to the Murat Theater and not quite sure what to...

      Stopped by the Police While Metal Detecting in Connersville

      Got off work and was on my knees metal detecting in Connersville, Indiana at a side street curb strip digging a real nice tone and expecting a dime to come to me very very shortly, when I was approached by 4 law enforcement officials (two Connersville City police officers and two Fayette County...

      Will This Stripped Lower Reciever Work For 5.56 too?

      http://www.copesdistributing.com/anderson-blem-stripped-lower-receivers-open-trigger-guard-p-7708.html Will this receiver accept 5.56 too? Logic would dictate that it would, as the magazines are the same and the difference would be in the breach of the barrel, not in the lower receiver. I have...

      My Concealed Carry event worthy of a forehead slap...

      Today I did some running around getting things done on my Saturday off. I put my Ruger LCP in my back pocket inside the pocket holster (Some of you would think that choosing a .380 alone is worthy of a forehead slap) Normally I carry a Glock 26, but I chose the smaller gun. Anyway I got home and...

      Pawn Shop Buy

      Disassembled guns for a deep clean....dirty!

      I have had my Glock 26 for four years and I carry it all the time, as it is my primary CCW. I have never counted the number of rounds put through it, but it is probably 2k. On my list of things to do someday was to disassemble the slide for a thorough cleaning. I watched a YouTube video and went...

      Saw a young man open carrying in WM today. Not traditional carry method

      Today I was in Walmart. I saw a young man in his early 20s wearing baggy jeans and an unbuttoned flannel shirt over a tee shirt. Tucked into his belt but outside of his pants was a large frame revolver, probably a S&W 586 or a knock-off. He was carrying in the appendix position. He was in...

      Kerosene

      I have a backup heat source: Typical round kerosene heater that I have never had to use. I have owned it for two years but have never tried to heat the house with it. Each Fall season I have pulled it out, filled it up, and burned it for an hour. I have always burned it outside though. Yesterday...

      S&W 36 or Colt Detective Special?

      I've been looking for a S&W model 36 Chief Special casually. I saw a Colt snub nosed Colt Detective for $500, which I passed on, because it wasn't quite what I was looking for. The Colt is a 6 shot, and the Smith is a 5 shot. The Colt is heavier and the grip is a little bigger. I am...

      Problem Reassembling My AR-15 Bolt

      Just bought a Rock River AR-15 from Orion Guns in Jacksonville. Disassembled the bolt carrier group for a good first cleaning. I can't seem to get the bolt to seat back in far enough to put the cam in. I think the brand new gas rings are preventing it. Before you say, "Rookie", I'm prior...

      Once the AR-15 bubble breaks...

      Anyone else in the mindset that once the shininess of the new AR-15 that the normally non-gun hysteria buyers bought wears off, one will be able to acquire an AR-15 or a stripped receiver at a good price again? There are folks that will have bills to pay and an unfired or rarely fired rifle...

      Have you ever got rid of a gun then regretted it? The thought keeps me from selling any of mine.

      I went shooting with a couple today that is trying to buy a handgun for her protection and maybe to carry. They had never shot a gun and decided to rent some handguns at Vandalia Range & Armory. The place was packed. I noted to my friend that I had never seen a gunstore with so many people in...

      Wind-up clocks are harder to find

      One of my goals is to get back to a simpler and sustainable life. I was thinking about power outages and alarm clocks. I stopped at Wal-Mart on the way home from work to buy a wind-up alarm clock to have for power outages. I would rather have one that doesn't rely on a finite battery supply. I...

      7.62 x 54R Ammo Cans at Richmond Dunhams

      FYI: I went to Dunham's Sports this afternoon and they had 12 of the bulk military surplus corrosive-primer ammo cans in stock. They must have figured that everyone was going to go crazy after the election. The shelves were stocked better than I have ever seen. They didnt' have the 7.62 X 39 I...

      Russian SKS

      Here is a photo of the Russian SKS I bought today. It's a 1954 refurb. I can't wait to shoot it. I had been on the hunt for one and really considered a Norinco that someone had for sale, but I set out from the start to pick up a Russian version. My wife said I should just hold out for a Russian...
