Having sold to him I can back that up 100% Ken

If or when the SHTF all those morons will starve to death. I think everyone should know a little about survival. Not go nuts like doomsday prepers, just have a little understanding. If you couldnt live without the shop rite (or whatever your food store) you may be in for a problem in the future. Ken

Unless you are piloting a small aircraft, or want to carry a gun, or want to protect yourself and familly, or..........etc, etc You need to read the small print. Ken

Yeah, what he said ^^^ I didnt see that coming at all. Jax had a lot of bad crap happen that should make for some great future episodes. Ken

THATS THE ONE! Thanks a ton Ken

A few months ago I brought this topic up I cant find it or remember the recommendations! I think I may be suffering from CRS. Someone recommended a case trimmer that went on the end of a power drill. I think it costs around $100. I need to figure out what this was and order one. Any help appreciated. Google is not being to helpful tonight. Thanks Ken

I just had one of those great Zen like days yesterday. I went out to work up a couple new loads for my M1A. There was 3 or four people shooting that were all very social. I found my new best load yet for my M1a and went home very happy, also a little later than my wife thought I should have stayed out. Ken

FWIW Central Jersey Rifle and Pistol has a nice archery range that you can practice at 24 7. Ken

DC has to do something like that. I worked a job in the southeast ghetto for 3 years. We rebuilt 12 high schools there. After having a (im guessing) 10 year old pull a piece of crap revolver on me we decided something had to give. The next day someone stole a golf cart from the job and used it in a drive by shooting. When the cops finally showed up the first question they asked us is if we where armed. We all being from NJ answered no. We where told that we should be because of the hood we where working in and that it would be fine by them. They also told us that the local hood rats had them outgunned. Scary stuff I will never go to that crappy city again as long as I shall live. Ken edit - we didnt carry after that, being from NJ we where to scared to. The last thing anyone wanted was to wind up in a jail cell in that crappy place

If im lucky I may even have my Versamax back by the time we go. Ken

Im in. I second the WMA thing. There is one in assunpink but it requires steel shot. You should see the way a 3 1/2" turkey load powders a clay! I have a thrower I could bring. If I can get away with robbing the one from out farm range I can get an electric one to bring. Ken

Sold me Exactly what he said he would. No shenanigans. Great person to deal with and BS with. Ken

They are not true armor piercing rounds anyway.... True AP has a tungsten rod inside. The LAP bullet has a little steel cone at the nose. I think by light armor piercing the military was referring to car doors and the like. Ken

today makes 4 days after my email to Hornady. I received all my parts in the mail today. Thats pretty darn good in my book! Ken

Funny, I found just the opposite. The email was answered and the parts shipped within 20 minutes of my sending it. When I called they gave me instructions on how to ship the die to them. Thats a pain in the but so I decided to try email. Ken

Thats awesome! This guy didnt sell himself out. More people need to have that kind of fortitude. I think I would have done the same thing. Ken

I recently purchased my first Hornady die set in .308. Its a decent set for the price but I manage to break one in less than 20 rounds. What happened is the "zip spindle" came loose and broke the spindle rite at the expander ball. I tried like hell to get that broken stud out but no luck. I sent Hornady an email because I couldnt find a part number for the ball anywhere. I was willing to buy it myself since my own ignorance of the zip spindle system broke it. I got a response from Hornady in about 1 hour with a parts list and order number. All the parts where $0.00. I gotta say that was really nice of them. The dies are warrantied for life if you send it back to Hornady. They just sent the parts out rite away and didnt even question it. For that I gotta give them an "Attaboy!" Its nice when someone stands behind their product like that. More companies need to behave like this. Ken

UPDATE It going back to Remington. I dont know what they think they are gonna do but I hope they fix it. Ill post updates as I get them. There is a lot of complaints on the internet but nobody posted the solution yet. Ken

I only use Winchester primers. I will use the CCI34 and 41 primers in my M1A and AR. I cant say I have ever had a failure to fire from any of them in years. I do not like CCI 200 and 400 primers at all. They flatten out on moderate loads. Flattened primers usually occur with hot loads. I can use the winchester primer with the same loads and the dont flatten out. Ken

It doesnt take me too long. I will load 10 in every combination with a given powder or bullet and hit the range with a chrony. Ill make sure im zero'd at 100 yards with known good ammo then blast away. That is the best way I found yet. Doing it this way I have come home and pulled a bunch of rounds down because they where hotter than anticipated. Try lots of different powders, chrono the deviation between rounds, and have some fun. Doing this I have wound up with a pound or two of powder I didnt particularly like. I just chalked it up to learning. I now have loads that I can trust for all my rifles. I have settled to 3 powders and 2 primers now. You will be surprised how accurate of a load you can make after a little range time learning. If you have the time its a very rewarding hobby. Ken

Im not really into the gun status symbol thing. All my guns where purchased for a purpose, even if that purpose was to punch holes in paper or deer in a more comfortable way. Should I ever be able to carry one in this state nobody will see it anyway. My one luxury purchase that I did buy and I guess could be considered as a status gun is my M1A NM. Ken

You definitely did good for the first time out. I shoot with a lot of people that couldnt do as good. BTW, you didnt ask anything I would consider dumb. I can tell that you have read and retained quite a bit more about the M1A platform than I knew when I started! Ken

I was encouraged to do the same in east windsor. The detective that does firearms here told me it was to make sure he could read and understand everything I wrote down. I told him my handwriting is good and he told me thats fine then. It could be as simple as that. If you have good penmanship I dont see it being a problem. Ken

The main point of the silicone sock is to prevent the sock from absorbing moisture (at least it used to be). The water will bead off it. I also agree with nick above. I used one on an air rifle with a synthetic stock and it made some parts slippery. Get a good quality regular sock and a goldenrod or store in a climate controlled area (not basement or garage where humidity gets high) Ken

Thats a name I havent heard in a while... I think I may dust off the Harley and take a ride down there tomorrow. Ken
