Re: This is why the NRA sucks

The NRA wants them regulated because all the big wig NRA members own full auto items. Bump fires brought down the value of their investments. Without bumpfires, their full auto investments will gain value again.

Re: Everything is Relatively Cheap. What's the Best Investment Now?

There is one LGS I support, and one I don't. The one I support, they all know my name. I don't even know all of theirs. I'm not in there too often, but they treat me like, well, a good customer. They're not too overpriced, and I know that, but I still buy stuff from them. The other store, mostly rel...

Re: Everything is Relatively Cheap. What's the Best Investment Now?

I've seen those conversions. By Lage. They're pretty awesome. I think rate of fire is even adjustable. I don't know if they'll surpass auto ARs, I've seen them fly off shelves for $35K! You got a crazy good deal! That's a great investment, and fun toy all in one!

Everything is Relatively Cheap. What's the Best Investment Now?

Since they're no longer importing VEPRs, they've gone up in price. Even though theres tons in America already. It seems like every so often, something either obscure or very specific gains value because of either potentially being banned, or no longer imported. I had a bunch of the green tip 5.56 am...

Re: Why exactly do YOU support the NRA? (If you do)

I didn't think of the points such as how the NRA teaches youth, and how much the NRA is involved in things down to the local level (I know a few NRA instructors that teach complete beginners about guns and gun safety). You're all definitely right, they are the biggest voice that we have by far. Even...

Why exactly do YOU support the NRA? (If you do)

I'm not an NRA member. I have nothing against the NRA, but I'm also not FOR the NRA. The reason is I don't completely understand it. I get their brochures in the mail; Tell me how I can save on airline fees if I'm a member, I fly about once every five years. I can save $ on hotels; I'm not a travele...

Re: ooops are LIL GUN AND 1680 comparable ? interchangeable mixable : (

Make a long line like Wile E Coyote leading to the rest of the jug. Or pour it out in your neighbors yard and make a design. Whatever you do with it, start off 10% below max.

Broken Trim Die

Hi, trying to remove it from a Dillon 1200 cutter, I broke my Brads Warehouse trim die. Besides Dillon, is there a recommended trim die? Is Brads Warehouse still in business? Thanks for any help.

Re: 123gr z-max top speed

Thanks for the info on the twist rate. It's a 1/12. T/C Compass 308, that comes with a scope from Sportman Guide. Sort of a beginner, long range rifle. The main reason for my concern about the bullet breaking apart is because I'd like to use a silencer with the rifle. SDN-6 I haven't received the ri...

Re: 130 gr speer hollow point feeding issue?

Load them longer. Put one that you have now in the magazine, and slowly let the bolt come forward. You'll see when it picks up a round out of the mag that there's a brief moment the round will rattle mid-air before going into the chamber. That's when the bolt jams it into the feed ramp and puts dent...
