GROW A PAIR !!!! Go buy a rifle

Big +1 Polite and looking squirrelly has a lot to do with it.

Swage, Swage, Swage!!! Unless you use a primer pocket reamer, which is a PIA. If you use a case mouth reamer the primer pocket gets too wide before you get the crimp out.

This is probably way to expensive for you but it's a decent compromise even with the short sight radius. http://www.midwayusa.com/product/338840/advantage-tactical-split-ring-triangular-sight-set-remington-shotgun-870-1100-11-87-12-gauge-steel-blue-with-interchangeable-front-and-rear-colored-inserts

Gentleman,Gentleman,Gentleman,---- Some one was close but no cigar.... Look at the geometry of the barrel in relation to the bead front sight. The bead is lower than the receiver height. so when you have the bead resting on top of the receiver(the only way to sight) the muzzle is pointed up. This is provided it is a smooth and not a ribbed barrel. No nicks at the muzzle, no cheek weld issue. It's a line of sight relative to line of bore issue. Some sort of sights will fix this if you insist on shooting slugs.

I can't see any problem ( think you're talking about foster type slugs) other than not as accurate and the barrel will lead and have to be cleaned.

Sorry this is what I meant to say!

I've seen some lousy bolt catches. One that comes to mind was a Stag factory build. The catch actually had the tip that contacts the follower too short (not there). Do a few things, make sure the catch is free for it's full range of motion and not dragging and preventing it from coming all the way up. #2 is the spring strong enough? Is it the correct spring? #3 is the back of the catch where it contacts the bolt "square"? In bolt lock back the bolt should not fall when the stock is impacted.

Get a case length gauge. There's really two dimensions to be concerned with. Datum line to case head and datum line to case mouth. You'll never have a problem. This is just one that is available. http://www.dillonprecision.com/content/p/9/pid/25549/catid/3/L_E__Wilson_Case_gages Here's the one in 223 Rem. http://www.dillonprecision.com/#/content/p/9/pid/25547/catid/3/Dillon_Rifle_Case_Gages

Grip!

"Get Gaddafi" - Robert Ciro Gigante

I hear you on the any excuse thing... But in reality it's the GLOCK thickness that is the problem not the barrel or grip length. I don't find it easier to conceal a G26 than a G19 or even a G34. The best GLOCK to conceal is a Kahr PM9. Open it up..It's a damned GLOCK.

Big Plus One on this one! Chris.. I can show you an easy set up.

Hey handsome! don't load any more until you test fire them

Sorry Vlad I load lots of 223 and never a problem. BTW I use a carbide sizer and it's the Cat's A$$ !!!

Diverting from the original thread.... Empty chamber is not a good policy... Why? You are creating a situation that has a greater possibility of malfunction. Secondly, That bad guy running off when he hears the slide rack is BS. This machine was not designed to scare people. Use it for it's intended purpose.

For the reasons you describe....I say GLOCK!!! One chambered of course!

Please continue to post when / where you are playing. What kind of music?

Opinions are like A$$ &*^%$$ everybody has one. I'm close to Nicky on this one... For practice I shoot 55gr FMJ with a cannelure . These I crimp with a separate crimp die. It's a Dillon taper crimp. Accuracy stuff I shoot Match Kings. These have no cannelure and they don't get crimped. I have run them through a magazine without any set back. I sound like a fanboy but Dillon stuff is top notch, a little more expensive and usually available. BTW I use a Dillon carbide sizing die. Worth every penny.

Find out how serious he is. To do it right it will cost as much as a nice centerfire rifle. If he is serious find a proshop and they will be able to tell you everything you need to know and where you can shoot. I'm in a moderately rural area and shoot in my yard. PM me and I'll tell you what I can.

Ohaus triple beam. Accurate and easy to use but expensive.

I have the Dillon tool works fine. Now I standardize on LC cases. RCBS also makes a similar too, I don't know how it works. But for a $100 the Dillon tool is worth it especially if you are getting free military cases.

STI is probably the best production made 1911 available. On the Spartan the frame, barrel, and slide are Armscorp (Phillipines) and the fire control parts art STI (Texas). QC is done in the States by STI, Warrantee is by STI... Can't buy a better pistol for the money.
