Thanks again guys. Ill go tomorrow.

Ok brass. Thanks. A shell extractor wont work since the end of the shell is still intact. I guess unless I dremel out the rear of the case. But hopefully I can find this brass rod. What section in home depot should I look in? Thanks alot guys!

I was thinking about running out to Lowes and getting a long steel rod. Ok, so does anyone know why this happens? I Just can't figured out why it's so stuck. Good to know Is happened to other people. So I guess I shouldnt really worry too much about the gun being damaged from this?

Barely. I can get a small screw driver in there but it just bends it. Its really stuck. Like its fused to the chamber.

So i was out shooting my AR today when I had a fail to eject. The casing is lodge in the chamber. Its a .223 russian, steel case round. I have been shooting these for years now and never had one failure. To be fair though, I usually keep the gun very clean. I didn't clean it last time it was out so that might have something to do with it. Anyway, i tried a small flat blade screw driver to try and pry it out the back and that didn't work. I used the aluminum rod from my barrel brush and it just bent. This thing is REALLY STUCK! Anything else I can try before I take it to a gun smith? Any ideas why this might have happened? On another note, my buddy has a Benelli style AR and he got one stuck in his also. Both today. Now we have NEVER had any issues with this ammo before in either gun and the rounds are not from the same batch.

Ok you guys are not understanding what im trying to say here. My AR has a 10in long buffer tube, a rifle style i believe. On that buffer tube is a magpul stock which is fixed to the tube. now, I have pushed the stock as far forward as possible and pinned it in place. if stock is pushed any further up the buffer tube, then the rear of the buffer tube sticks out of the back of the stock. follow me? this is why i need a shorter buffer tube. with a, say, 7 inch tube, i could push the stock all the way forward, pin it in place and the buffer tube will not stick out of the back of the stock. i just wanted to know if i buy a buffer tube kit which has the tube, spring and buffer, will i be ok with just that or do i need a certain spring or buffer or something like that. just wondering if anyone else had done this before. its nothing complicated, to hard to explain i guess. i basically just need to push the stock forward and the buffer tube thats on it now will allow for this.

Cool thanks for the info guys!! Looks like I'm going trigger shopping.

PK, a CAR buffer? ?How can I tell? The tube that is on the rifle is the stock one that was on it when stag sent it to me. Its a post ban AR if that helps. I was thinking I could just buy a carbine buffer tube kit with the buffer and spring and mod it myself. I want the stock right up against the rifle. To do that would have to be custom as far as I can see, unless there is a ready made tube out there for this. I thought about cutting off the back of the tube and that would work except then some kind of backing would have to be welded back onto the rear of the tube so the spring can have something to rest on.

I believe its 10inches. So I guess its rifle length? If the stock is collapsed all the way, the buffer tube will stick out of the back of the stock, hence, I need a shorter tube.

I have a stag 2TL with a Magpul ACS. I had to do some modding to make it fixed. I drilled and tapped the buffer tube to bring the stock in a little bit to shorten up the gun overall. My problem now is that I want to make it as short as possible but I'v reached the limit on the long buffer tube that the gun came with. The only thing I can think to do to get the desired length I want it to buy a six position buffer tube since there overall length is shorter, fill in the all the adjuster holes and tap the one hole I'll need to pin the stock into place. Has anyone else tried this? I need to know what kind of buffer tube to buy. I know I need a commercial one, but I'm unsure if I'll need another spring or buffer.

whats the difference between a 2 stg and single stg trigger?

what wrong with that ammo? i use the same stuff and put thousands of rounds through and never had a single issue.

can someone recommend me a good aftermarket trigger for my stag 2t? something smooth and crisp maybe 3.5lbs. thanks

i just got a stag arms ar 15 and i dont think the brake is welded at all. it is pinned though. i figured stag knows what they doing.

Im thinking about going to buy my first AR soon. The stocks are way too far extended for my liking. So could I just "re-pin" the stock that it comes with? Would that be legal to do? I can't see how anyone would ever know, or why it would be illegal for that matter. Its just a matter of comfort.

What are these groups, (besides the NRA), and how do we get involved?? I'm all about it. If I have to be stuck in this state, I might as well help the cause. On a side note, isnt Chris Christie AGAINST guns? Arent Republicans supposed to FOR guns?

Thanks guys. Another question, some of the ones I have seen say up to .357 mag. Can I shoot a .223 at that? What would be the worst case scenario if I shoot a steel target with a higher power bullet that its rated for? Keep in mind I like to shoot the rifle rounds from no less the 50 yards and the handgun rounds at about 25 yards. I dont really care if I waste one of these cheap targets in my trials.

I might be able to help you on the "wife" end of it. BTW, if you live in the del. valley area near Philly, you might want to try Ready Aim Fire shooting range in Bristol PA. Its just over the Bulington/Bristol bridge and you can rent most any handgun there. Now with that out of the way, I just took my wife to purchase her first handgun. We spent about 3+ hours there looking at every gun. She tried everything! From small revolvers to big semi's. Long story short, she ended up with a Smith and Wesson M&P 9mm. She chose this for a few reasons. Its light. Its easy to manipulate at the controls. Its ambidextrous, (controls on both sides of the gun, we are both leftys so thats always a plus). 9mm is a good overall caliber. Its cheap, has low recoil, and with some home defense/hollow point type rounds, very deadly without over penetration through walls and such. The number one reason she got it is because the M&P has a neat feature. If the magazine is not inserted into the gun, it WILL NOT fire. I liked this because my wife isnt too great with racking the slide. With this feature, you can leave a bullet chambered and it wont fire until you insert the mag. I think of think in terms of "what if". In and SHTF situation, no matter how many times i take her to the range, I dont expect her to go through all the motions in 10seconds or less. This way, all she has to do is grab the gun and slide in the mag and shes ready to go. (btw, the trigger also has a feature on it to lesson the chance of it being fired by the small hands of children) I really thought she would like the revolver, cant get much easier than that, but she couldnt even pull the trigger in double action on most of them. Good luck on you purchase no matter what you choose. Remember its always a good idea to seek professional help when it comes to shooting for the first time. There are lots of variables to think about.

Hi guys. I want to get some steel targets to shoot at but most of the ones I come across say that they are for .22 and 9mm. I have a few question about steel targets and different ammo. I alway shoot FMJ rounds because they are cheap. I shoot .22, 9mm, .40, .45, .223 and 12gauge slugs. What kind of steel target and ammo should I use together? Can I just go and pick up on of those small steel targets from Dicks and shoot my FMJ's into it? Will they ricochet? Do I have to buy hollow points? Do I need a specific steel target?? Please keep in mind I have NO IDEA about this so please school me! Thanks guys.

Do you have proof of this??? And BTW, I'm not talking at all about handguns of any kinds, I'm only talking about longguns. Shotguns in particular.

Awsome! Love it!

I have been surfing around the web looking into this and it seems most states wont bother you if you have a shotgun. (with the exception of NJ of course) Still, I would like to know for sure before I do it.

This might be a dumb question, but I was wondering, if where to go camping in say, PA, and I put my shotgun in my travel trailer or RV, unloaded of course, do you think there would be a problem with that legally? Maybe I watch too many horror movies, but I hate being out in the woods with zero protection. I know taking hand guns thru different states can be a problem, but I'm not sure the same really goes for long guns. Does anyone have any useful info on this? BTW, the gun would be locked up and safely put away.

So i was at a gun show in PA and saw the Weatherby pa 459 tactical pump shotgun with pistol grip and tac rails. It was the only one at the show and I was able to get it for a good price, so I bought it. I have a couple questions about it. First, it comes with a ported choke. Does anyone know what kind of choke it is? I cant find info on it anywhere, not even in the manuel. Second, I want to do some trap shooting with it. Has anyone had any experience with these guns and trap shooting? (and before someone says why did i buy a tactical shotgun for clay shooting, it because I'm a small guy and HATED shooting my friends Remy 870. WAY to big for me! ) What choke is best for trap shooting anyway and does anyone know where I can get different chokes for this gun? Thanks guys! (first post in these forums BTW)
