Hi! I'm in a similar situation as yourself; living in an apartment I don't have the room for a permanently mounted set of reloading equipment. To get around that, I have a 2ft x 1.5ft board that I mount various presses to and then clamp that to a sturdy table. Once loading is completed, I unbolt it, box it up and store it in a wardrobe. For a while I was shooting 5 stand every week. For my shotgun reloading, I started using the Lee Load-All II. It's the equivalent of a single stage press, is very compact, and is very affordable. It wasn't long before I realized the volume of reloading I needed surpassed this press, so I bought a progressive MEC 650 Grabber from eBay. Great press, and works great once mounted to my trusty board. Other presses I mount on the same board are a Lee single stage and a Lee Pro 1000. Cheers!

I've just received the spam can from SG. I use this ammo in my Mauser Broomhandle. I pull the projectile, replace the powder with a more sedate charge of Unique, and recrimp the projectle. Gives me .30 Mauser for 10c a shot!

Best wishes for a speedy recovery!

An education site is holding a poll "Should teachers, administrators and school staff carry guns?". One commenter has already expressed their surprise that 17% say "Yes".

I'll me at the match shooting revolver. Bringing two others - one is a new shooter, so he will be going through the new-shooter safety training.

Yeah, I'm gonna make a point to attend the HP matches this year.

Nice work, Glenn. Mag arrived safely today. Thanks for all your time and effort!

I have Walther PPKS in .380 which I love, but if budget is a concern you might want to look elsewhere. If you are looking for a concealable pistol in the realm of a .380, you might want to consider a Makarov. Small, affordable, accurate, and the Makarov 9mm ammo does not suffer the same supply issues as the .380

Thanks for the generous offer! I'll have to skip this shoot due to work commitments unfortunately, but I might spend the extra time putting some gear together. I'll need to get a sling attach point, a sling and a few extra mags. Midways, here I come!

Thanks for the detailed response. Now I'm *really* tempted. This could be my motivation to finally get a SP sling and some more AR mags.

Tempted. Is a single point sling required for the longarms?

I just recently sent my shotgun back for servicing. Printed all shipping labels from the UPS web site and scheduled a pickup from my home. Very smooth!

Fantastic shoot! Great seeing the crew there. That "maze" shoot was very cool. One of the Glock shooters ran through it letting loose an almost single stream of shots. Sounded full-auto. Slick!

I'll be there +1. Shooting revolver or single-stack. Haven't decided which yet. Maybe both at the same time to practise my Jet-Li action...

I love my Colt Series 70 1911. A mate of mine has the Springfield GI model in stainless steel which also has a great feel. On a more budget-conscious note, I was impressed by the Rock Island 1911s I saw at Sarco Inc in Union. About $400 new.

I've had a Century WASR four about four years. Never had a problem or a jam. It's very solid and surprisingly accurate, even with the AK's long, gritty trigger pull and pistol-like sight radius. Lots o' fun!

Absolutely. That is some nasty-ar**d stuff. Gave her a good scrub down to keep her happy.

While I normally feed my AR handloads, it always bugged me that I couldn't use the cheap Russian-made ammo without continual failures to feed. The typical experience with Wolf, Tula, etc would be be short stroking, the bolt not locking back on the final round, or rounds pinched against the bottom of the bolt. It looked like not enough grunt was being applied to the bolt carrier. The carrier key was tight, I replaced the gas rings with a single spiral ring, and flushed the gas pipe with carb cleaner to no avail. I finally replaced the standard recoil spring with a reduced power spring (link below) and it now feeds that crappy steel case ammo beautifully. Sure they still have craptastic accuracy, but sometimes tin cans don't need sub minute of angle handloads. http://www.brownells.com/.aspx/pid=21163/Product/AR_15_M16_REDUCED_POWER_ACTION_SPRING Happy shooting!

Lewis of Armament Gunsmithing is great. I visited him today with a problematic Weatherby over/under. While he could have charged me to do a potentailly expensive repair, he instead recommended I return a part to the Weatherby service center myself as they would do the work free of charge. He gave me some good advice on how to safely package and send the part. He's a very skilled and honest guy. I've had lots of other work done by him, and won't hesitate to go back for future jobs.

I've used their .223 in my AR to great effect. Very accurate and cycles well.

Done. 82.95% for the Good Guys.

Hi AGFL. I've been a member of CJRPC for about 7 years and I'm in a similar situation as yourself in that I'm not able to make night meetings. I'm not aware of them being mandatory, but there is a $50 discount if you addend a certain number of the meetings. The same discount, however, is available if you help out in any of the community events such as Women on Target, Youth Day or Wounded Warriors. These are a lot of fun and the means by which I earn my discount.

Many thanks for all your work on this initiative. I'll send you a check for a magazine and postage right away. Cheers, Leth
