    Using 38 Special components in 357 Magnum brass

    Extra space in a case can bause over pressure, dangerous over pressure. I heard some folks do what your talking about and adding a buffer to take up the space. So be cateful and let us know how it goes!

    Regular vs. Magnum Primers

    More open space and a mag primer can cause too much pressure, that is why I like my rifle recipes and any pistol that can, to have as close to a compressed load. My handgun and shotgun loads I try to do the same but .45 ACP can't really be done that way.

    Ruger Mini 14 Oklahoma State Highway Patrol

    That may be, my connection is with a lieutenant on the lake patrol. He was issued the rifle but his was select fire. From what he told me then most of the rifles were standard law enforcement semi auto but a few were semi, 3 shot burst and full auto. Saw a you tube video on the full auto that...

    Want to get my 12 year old into shooting - What Ruger rifle should I purchase?

    Browning and Marlin make very nice lever action rifles. The 39a (?) Marlin is a great take down from many years ago. The Browning is just slicker than a puppies #^=÷!#, testiculars!

    Want to get my 12 year old into shooting - What Ruger rifle should I purchase?

    All the above or a bolt action if you want to teach them restraint on wasting ammunition. The Ruger or Savage bolt actions are great fir the price. If price is not a problem, a Anshutz is always nice and there are many very nice unbelievable accuracy .22s out there.

    Extended mag release

    The scores that hold the extended release to the release button need a little lockstep just so they don't back off. The picture from this morning was a working job but still touching up and finishing to make it look good. Basically a little bit bigger release but mostly cosmetic. Looks cool as I...

    Extended mag release

    Notice how the long bar, the catch is sunk into the stock? It is flush with a AR frame. You push the ejector button extra deep and unscrew that bar from the button. Can't do that here as you can't push the button deep enough to unscrew the latch bar.. So, no, not exactly like a AR. Ruger has a...

    Extended mag release

    I want to put a exteded mag release on my .300BO Ranch Rifle. I saw on done so I know it is possible but I don't know how to get it apart, like on a AR. THE BACK SIDE DOES NOT ALLOW THE BAR TO COME OUT FAR ENOUGH TO UNSCREW THE ACTUAL MAG LOCK BAR. Anyone have any ideas? Let me know. Last...
