But I also thought about getting a 30 caliber one, that could also be adapted to a .223 AR 15. My first purchase was through SilencerCentral last year and was for a .30 caliber rated up to my .300 Weatherby ---- its big but handles the .223 stuff adequately but looks a bit out of proportion unless ...

So far, no problems. Scott was correct. Now to wait for a Liberal municipal justice of the peace who has no law degree to rule that the whole thing was illegal.

Didn't want to step on Streetstar's reloading bench build, but it got me thinking I needed to replace the rickety and too-small cabinet save I have been using and I have had this 22 x 32-inch piece of rubber wood butcher block left over from cutting out my countertop for the sink. So here is what I...

I have a Chihuahua who sleeps close to me and my wife. Those 2 triangular radar dishes on her head are never truly shut down. Her bark wakes me up very quickly.

The .308 and I go way back. H&K 91 Once I was emancipated and started to earn my own money, I read a great deal of Mel Tappan and decided that I really needed an H&K 91. It was the early 1980s and surplus German ball ammo was so cheap. I shot it many thousands of rounds and eventually took ...

I don't. I don't even have a gun close except on my night stand. Things are pretty calm in my neighborhood and I haven't felt the need. It will probably haunt me someday If I don't change my ways. I don't even carry my LCP very often I guess because I have never been in in a threating situation. JB...

When I heard Pic Rail I figured I would see a black plastic stock. Shocked to see wood. Frankly, it looks really nice to me. If it will take Tier 2 or 3 loads in the 45 Colt, I'd be tempted to grab one. Regarding pressure -- if its stout enough to deal with 44 mag ---should take some pretty cool .4...

Streetstar

I am pretty accepting of "tactical" leverguns like we were talking about in Doc AJ's thread ---- but putting a rail on an 1873 just looks goofy --- you dont need to bastardize it that much to mount a red dot if that is the goal

Watching this one too. My current "bench" is a narrow cabinet I removed from a laundry area. Much too small. As to DF vs. cedar, the DF will be much more durable. While it is considered a softwood, cedar can be more like "spongewood" if I may. Same goes for redwood, which I love...

Id say so

loaded for a anemic rimfire cartridge, then a couple years later for an -- also fairly weak - 44-40. Much like modern rifles chambered for 762x39 or 556 x 45 , very marginal for a lot of hunting applications, but fine for people.

Very interesting...a couple of questions though. Will it feed and fire 40SW? (No interest in 40 S&W, just wondering) Why does the front sight look like it's installed backward?? It would be a lot more interesting at a price point of around $800. They say it will NOT feed 40 S&W... :| Maybe ...

A 60 or so grain bullet is likely the heaviest that can be shot in a rifle with standard twist. Shooting 70 or more grain projectiles requires a shorter twist to properly stabilize them. What is a “standard twist” for a .223 anymore? I believe my rifle has a 1/9 inch twist. No stabilization issues....

I have been thinking about the same concept, but in my case, I have a Remington 700 in 300 win mag, that I would like to load down to .308 levels for deer hunting.
