Good to know. Thank you everyone!

FTF on steel ammo
The problem is ... after firing the first round the next round does not get chamber. However, the cartridge does eject. Maybe the rifle is getting old.

FTF on steel ammo
Any ideals or options? On my last trip to Fort Dix, I experience a FAILURE TO FEED (FTP) on every single round when using Brown Bear Ammunition 223 Remington 55 Grain hollow point (Lacquer Coated Steel Case). But NO issues when change over to brass casing ammo. Rife = Bushmaster AR 15 A2 20"barrel with metal (original) magazine. The rifle is cleaned and oiled however recently replaced the stock to Magpul MOE rifle stock ( a drop-in replacement). I don't believe the stock will cause this.

budsgunshop auctions legitmate?
It looks like the auction is held by budsgunsshop.com itself (not 3rd party or private party). There are no auto bid functions (max ceiling) - just single bids. Any way, I wrote them an nice email and now it is upon investigation and review. I will keep everyone posted if any thing comes out of it. Thx.

budsgunshop auctions legitmate?
Have any member ever participate and won a budsgunshop.com firearms auctions? I question the legitimacy of this auction. I was winning a rifle bidding last night but was outbid by $1 at the end. (I am not sore about the losing as I realized I should be starting putting away college funds for the kids). The reason I am question was because all my bids in the last 10 seconds (which was all higher than the $1 that won) was not accepted. The system responded that “BID NOT ACCEPTED!!! A Higher Bid for this Item has Already been Placed” which was not true. Tonight, I notice a bidding for a Kel-Tec RFB 308 Win High Effeciency Rifle Forward-Ejection Bullp” started at $2 and now is at $100000000 ??? Auction ID # 3734 Details Auction price: $100,000,000.00 Highest Bidder: xxxxx Auction expires on: 05/12/2013 22:00:00 Time Remaining: 21 hours 09 minutes 11 seconds Bidding increments must be at least: $1.00 Any thoughts?

Getting Wife to Range
In my situation, I took my wife to an open outdoor range (it is not as loud as indoor ranges). Let her watch in the car and don’t pressure her to take part. Take some time at the range (in the car) and explain to her the range rules and watch other shooters. First time out , don’t spend too long unless she decided to join you. Good luck.

I cant believe Im going to ask this.....
I would be so native thinking that a thief would not see the lock on the side. As most of us don’t lock our fridge. It is kind of scarily keeping ammo in a place where is not fire proof but we all do it one way or another. Just hope our significant other does not plug in fridge..

5.56 versus .223, what's the difference?
Here is a good article discussing the differences between .223 and 5.5.6: http://www.luckygunner.com/labs/5-56-vs-223/ I personally like brass 55gr rounds compare to steel cartridges.

Dicks in East Brunswick has PMC X-Tac 5.56 $9.99
DOB, Citizen, and 3 boxes limit...Dicks is serious about it. The manager say it is store policy. If it wasn't for last minutes needs, I really have strong reservations buying from Dicks.

BTW, I answer "NO" to "Are you a citizen" and that caused a chaos....they had to void the transaction and start all over again.

The guy behind the counter told me 3 boxs of a single kind/brand. Meaning I can pick additional 3 boxes of another brand or caliber.
