      WTS: SOLD Sig Sauer .380 P232 SL Stainless

      Asking $450. Greenfield/Mt. Comfort area. My father passed away in May 2023. This was his carry piece. Mom doesn't have the hand strength to wield it and asked me to sell it. He as the original owner. Purchased in 2001 at Acme Firearms. Doesn't show much holster wear. If it came with a...

      Ever file the burrs off the headstamp?

      I was working on my brass and while measuring the cases, I kept seeing a few thousandths variance. I also notice that went I set them on the bench, some would wobble a bit. I was bored, it was raining, so I took a needle file and filed the entire lot. Just enough to change the luster...

      Sanity check - 6.5 creedmore first firing and resize.

      Brand new rifle, new Hornady ELD Match ammo. I only have 40 rounds and thought I'd buy factory first, then use that brass as a base. After cleaning, I measured everything. Then resized thinking I have a chamber sized case. I was a bit surprised that the case grew at the shoulder by .003". I...

      Indiana Ordnance Innovations

      Anyone been there? I know they're closed until March, but I'm looking for places to shoot further than 100yd. Youngs is pretty far and requires membership with them AND with NRA. Not happy with the NRA these days, so that's out. Wabash looks like an option, but IOI is a bit closer.

      Custom .300ACC Piston AR-15 SBR cycling issues.

      I'll try to keep this brief. 11.3" barrel with an Adams Arms Piston kit. Why piston? Because I'm a lefty and shooting with a silencer on a DI rifle plain sucks. What I've put below is over the course of 2 years. When I started this project, Adams didn't have a .300ACC kit, so I tried their...

      My IWI Tavor x95 experience

      Still haven't shot it, but my first day with it was frustrating. I'm a lefty shooter, so bought a left handed bolt and barrel kit. The barrel itself isn't left handed, but is factory headspaced with the bolt. A bit more expensive, but such is life. Looking at the design of the barrel, it...

      Ditching my Serpa for something new, but what?

      Glock 19 with a Silencer Co barrel. Barrel sicks out about 3/8" or maybe just a little more. I'm also a lefty which doesn't seem to be a big selection limiter anymore. I'll start with reasons I liked the Serpa. I wore it with the paddle which made it easy on, easy off. It was also very...

      Issue with primer pockets on new brass

      I bought 500rd of .300BLK new American Eagle brass. I primed three cases and the primer is visibly higher than the face of the case head. I thought my hand priming tool (RCBS) just wasn't pushing them in far enough. I decided to push the three I did the rest of the way in with my press. No...

      Residential heat pump - seeking professional help

      New construction, new installation. Bryant 215B heat pump. Two problems: 1) When it's stupid cold, heat pumps run for their defrost interval and then go into defrost mode. During defrost, the electric backup kicks in. Rather than trying to keep track, I'd like to add an outdoor thermostat...

      Rules and Laws for private ranges??

      I've been given permission by the owners of a piece of land out in Henry Co. to setup a range. It has a Spiceland address, but is outside the town limits. I checked the Henry Co. government site and there are no ordinances listed that would prevent me from shooting. But, as we all know the...

      Do as I say, not as I do.... state legislators can carry where you can't

      Just heard on the radio that the legislators will be allowed to carry in the State House building. I'm so sick of the hypocrisy.... you and I can't even walk on the grass outside.

      Is integrally supressed really an NFA item?

      I saw an add for the Ruger 10/22 takedown in an integrally supressed version and it got me thinking. According to the ATF: For the purposes of the National Firearms Act the term Silencer is defined in 18 U.S.C. § 921(a)(24) The term “Firearm Silencer” or “Firearm Muffler” means any device for...

      Chronograph at public ranges

      Anyone know of public ranges that allow a chronograph? I know objects forward of the firing line are typically frowned upon. Second question, anyone want to loan me a chronograph or invite me to come to their private range so I can work up this new load? (Kimble, I'm not too far from...
