Old School

I have found excessive coating build up in some lowers. In my experience the pins are standard and OK.

Additionally - This is tragic but not a common occurrence. I would guess just as many people drown in a bath tub.

+1 John -- 50 years and they never made an angel at CR. How many suicides have there been at CR? Ninjas suk!

My 55 has no baffle. The Lyman Ideal 55 has three slide adjustments. For the coarse powders I just use the largest adjustment and put the two others flush with it. (If you see it you'll know what I mean) When I use extruded powders I always end up trickling.

Yep and before that I had a wooden stocked toy rifle that looked like a 03...Times have changed

Just an off topic comment...Firearms were never designed to scare, they are designed to destroy. So fake firearms for defense/deterrent is not smart (read stupid).. I'm not a proponent of real looking toys. Some boys were playing airsoft in my woods and I couldn't tell what was real and what was not. I didn't see a lot of orange tips on the muzzles. When I went out to talk to them about cleaning up when done, I was a little heavier on one side.

Vlad - I'm in total agreement on the 50/200. Understandably the 25m is for limited distance restraints.

Fancy Smancy....I love A2 sights on a 20" barrel @ 300 yds these old eyes shoot 6-8" groups using the A2 elevation adjustments. Yes I have to dial in 400 for 300yds because of my ammunition. But I guess you have to know your rifle ammo combo. I would suspect you groups would open up a little with a 16" tube because of the sight radius. With magnification (1-4X Millet) my wifes Bushy shoots an 1" at 100yds. I'm not kicking in doors in Fallujah so longer rifles and optics work for me. BTW close up the A2 battle aperture works pretty well. Edit: all these groups are off of bags...LOL

If you want a good sight in use bags and support the rifle VERY close to the receiver. Takes out the human error.

I eat and sleep this stuff an still carry it around.

Use this and keep a copy in your rifle case: www.harvardriflemen.com/AR15zero.pdf And get a shotgun for home defense

Double check that...I believe Norinco is the Chinese manufacturer

Don't think I don't recognize the problems at CR, I do. It is now far from a club, It is a business enterprise with a captive audience of new firearms owners. I can see how seasoned experiences shooters can be turned off by some of the rules and behaviors. Example, I had a board member yelling at a kid with an AR that his flag wasn't fully in the chamber....Such bull shit! I don't want that plastic in a hot chamber...but it's the "rule" BTW this asshat board member made the rule You tell me how putting a flag in through an ejection port blocking the bolt from going into battery isn't safe as a flag in chamber? Yes there are asshats there in positions of authority, but there are unsafe ninjas there as well. It's cheap and close for me and it works for me. And I agree everybody has a right to their opinion.

Ok I'm a CR fanboy it's been told.... To ALL - Put your big boy pants on be safe and have fun! It appears many have no idea what it takes to keep a range safe. Especially with the "new" demographics of shooters. When it was just "us fuds" range safety was less work.

As I get notifications I'll be posting them here. Stuff seems to becoming available. 15rd mags at Midway: http://www.midwayusa.com/product/334509 Bullets at Natchez: http://www.natchezss.com/product.cfm?contentID=productDetail&prodID=HO2267B Just a heads up!

Dan - You know me well! I'm all about T&A...BTW I gave up the full beard. I kept getting pull over and they thought I was Willy Nelson. And you Luis....LOL

PM sent

This is a public comment. I could have sent a PM to the Moderators but I want everyone to see it that is involved in this thread. This is where OUR forum is going astray. This whining CR bashing thread should have been locked because there is no value and just back and forth banter. Other threads that have had value have been locked and the reason given was "back and forth banter, no value" Why? I suspect I know.

I have a key fob...Guess I'm special!

Thanks for the clarification
