yeah i think ill try out the new cproducts magazine first, $500 is a bit much to spend on a stripped lower at the moment. btw i was looking at my lower last night, why is it marked 556 if its used for multiple calibers? my first ar was stamped multi-caliber... just curious

where would i go about getting a MGI lower?

well im not sure, ive had both a 556 and a 7.62, honestly the 20 rd looks almost exactly like a 30 rd 556, but the vendor at the gun show that i bought it from said it was 7.62

ive got a 30 round magazine that ive never had a problem with, but the 20 round mags seem to bulge at the top and it wont fit into the mag well and the bullets inside get wedged, the thing i cant figure out is why does it do it in the 20 but not the 30?

ok the question is where do i get them, as of right now i have 3, 1 30 rd and 2 20 rd, the only problem is the 20 rounders i bought from the local gun show and neither of them work, its a pain in the ass to load them and they wont feed properly, the 30 rd works great but i want a smaller capacity ma...

so it turns out i might not make it, been makin plans for a while now but the truck has other ideas, sheared off the crank gear this weekend, hopefully ill be able to throw a new crank in before next weekend but if not i guess ill see yall at the next meeting

agreed, i think every butcher should have one

im looking into buying an ar 15, ive been looking at a 22 cal ar 15 and i was curious, is it possible to take the lower and put a 223 upper on it? are the lowers interchangeable? i dont quite have the money to buy a full ar 15 in 223 so i was hoping id be able to buy a 22 cal now and use it for prac...

so i bought a nice can of surplus ammo for my mosin nagant today, little did i realize that it was coming in a nearly impenetrable box built by the same people who created nuclear holocaust bunkers, let me tell you these cans are built just as well, luckily in this day and age of the in-ter-web i lo...

i got them from the gun show in va beach

well i went to the range today, shot about 100 rounds of my reloaded 40S&W ammo, my only problem which i regret now was that i got wolf small pistol primers.... of course as you can probably guess, they suck! about every 1 out of 5 bullets wouldnt fire, the firing pin would strike, leave a prett...

oh im definitely taking my time, im doing 50 round batches working my way up from the lowest starting point ive found in about .2 grain increments, im not going for match grade quality, im just workin on some cheaper range ammo

so today i officially started reloading, ive had a classic lee turret press for about a week or 2 now but just got all the components yesterday, started reloading today, put out about 500 rounds so far and my arms feel like jello, very happy so far with the press but im already making plans to upgra...

mmmmmmmmm i want one

ok so i just did a bit of reading from a bunch of different sites and it seems like the biggest problem is you have to be sure to clean the gun after every shooting (which i do regularly) so i dont think ill have a problem with lead bullets, knock on wood

thx for the info, ill definitely give power pistol a try, but as for the bullets im not sure what i can use, i was told only to use jacketed bullets because lead bullets will foul up the barrel of my jericho, may be true may not but i dont particularly feel like testing it

its very possible that it was berdan, i was thinkin that as i was sitting there staring at the pin and the case thinking "@#$%", and $5 bucks is not bad at all compared to what i was thinking

so i was trying to resize/remove primers from the brass for my mosin and the piece in the die that pops out the primer broke, is this common or am i doing something wrong? is there somewhere that i can get a replacement or do i have to buy a whole new set of dies? and is there a way that i can preve...

yeah the hampton roads are is horrible with cops, i can understand why theyre dicks for the most part, all the crap they have to put up with, but anyways, my roommate got pulled over for making a right turn at a green arrow... the cop said it was red so he wrote him a ticket

so i got my first press a few days ago, the whole setup, im trying to get info about what bullets/powder/primers are good for first starting out and how much powder as well, i have a few manuals ive been reading but i wanna get some suggestions and results from people who have been actually doing to...
