      PSA: CZ Scorpion Evo OOB check

      I was looking for some sales today and came across a post about CZ Scorpion Evos having an Out Of Battery (OOB) problem. Having a CZ Evo (rifle) I went down the rabbit hole... Maybe I've been living under a rock but this was the first I'd heard of it and couldn't find any info here. Turns out...

      What are 0.437"-0.440" balls used in?

      What the title says. Have a partial box of these here. Could they be oversized 44c (which are supposed to be 0.443"?) Can't remember how I ended up with them. I only have a Walker which uses 0.45x" balls.

      Obsolete cartridge: Have to just trust QuickLOAD/GRT?

      Say you're wanting to load an obsolete cartridge for which there is no known data for (unless you happen to have some cordite.) I own QuickLOAD so I plugged some numbers in and got some data out. As long as you are well below max pressure (it is only a simulation after all) is there any reason...

      WARNING: ZSR 7.62x51 M80 (Lot 15 might have problems)

      FYI, Sounds like there are a couple (at least 3) reports of this ammo exploding their rifles. (they look like case head separations.) Just a heads up if you have any to keep an eye out for updates.

      AR9: Anyone have a Stern adapter (glock) or a AR glock lower to measure?

      I've been tinkering this winter trying to build a better AR9. We're just not happy with the mag choices (mostly their reliability.) We really wish someone would make the equivalent of Black Dog AR15/22 mags (one piece, metal feed lips, AR15 form factor, no adapters, and they 'just work') I...

      getting into .410 reloading - need hulls

      A bunch of us have the ATI .410 AR uppers. The problems are: 1) they go though ammo fast;) and .410 was expensive even before the craziness. We have got to get into reloading these. 2) the AR mags really limit the OAL shell length. Some .410 shell brands are a hair too long to feed...

      Do heavy AR15 12"-12.5" barrels still exist?

      Looking for a heavy-ish profile 12"-12.5" bbl w/ carbine gas. Chrome or Nitride. Aero/BCM/etc seem not to make them anymore :( Everything I find is govt profile. Its for a reflex suppressor. I need >2.75" from the front of the gas block to the start of the muzzle threads. I don't think an...

      Karma: borescope

      My dad bought one of the cheap USB borescopes off Amazon a while back. He never had luck getting the software to work (but he's not computer savvy either.) I have my own already so I haven't fooled with this one. It's just taking up space on my desk and needs to find a new home. It's 1/4"...

      Karma: Victorinox Deluxe Security Belt with RFID Protection

      Edit: Gone. Picked up by justemily. Thanks MDS! Got this as free swag from a vendor (Chroma) for filling out a survey. I ragged on their crappy interface which is why I think they send it ;) Has their name printed on it at the bottom (small/discrete.) I'll never use it. Rules: First post...

      Anyone sell RAM commercial vehicles?

      Looking to buy a RAM Promaster. Will likely need to order. Have option list required and don't need financing. I'm near Burtonsville MD. It's been two weeks and can't get DARCARS or Fred Frederick to give me a quote. You'd think they didn't want to sell vehicles.

      Zastava M91

      Have been interested in a M91 for a long time (I'm a sucker for 54R.) Saw this in their catalog they released earlier and I got excited. Apparently they have a price listed at shotshow... $3500 seems ridiculous.:sad20: Is it REALLY that different than a VEPR or PSL. Heck, banned VEPRs are...

      Where to shoot big DDs? (solothurn/lahti/etc)

      I don't own a Destructive Device, yet... If one were to get something like a Solothurn or Lahti where could you shoot it around here? I *think* ACG doesn't prohibit it but only 200yd and can't shoot steel or other fun stuff. Anything big is now banned at Delmarva. Peacemaker is no go AFAIK...

      CA proves its own laws were BS

      Study done by UCDavis/Bloomberg/Hopkins shows that CA laws didn't actually change the firearm homicide or suicide rates. Lots of hand waving on how their data must be flawed. https://health.ucdavis.edu/publish/news/newsroom/13362

      7.62x45 (any interest in dies?)

      I recently picked up a VZ52 in original 7.62x45. The rifling is in good enough shape that I'm not going to rebarrel it (plus I already have a very nice VZ52/57 in x39.) I've ordered some corrosive surplus ammo for it in the meantime but I'll eventually need to reload. I have all the tooling...

      9mm YHM barrel issue w/ Xtreme 147gr HP

      Have a friend who is having trouble w/ a new YHM 9mm barrel in an AR. 147gr HP from Freedom Munitions are headspacing the bullet on the leade and not the end of the case. It bad enough that a round dropped in the chamber visibly sticks out too far. If he drops the bolt the bullet gets...

      School me on old 45-70 lever guns please

      I was looking at the lever action porn thread (which I just noticed tonight I've never posted to) and I have a hankering again for an *OLD* lever. I really want a 45-70. I've got a modern big bore lever so looking for the other bookend. I think that means I'm looking for a 1886 Winchester...

      HK PSG1 banned?

      This is another sticky one. The PSG1 is similar to a HK91 which is banned by name. Like the M1A (banned) vs Polytech M14 (ok) there is not 100% parts interchangeability (and that only took a metric vs SAE thread difference.) But exactly what has to be interchangeable? 1) The foreend =...

      7.5 French ammo

      I found a guy who has 2700 rounds of 7.5 French for sale for $1350 shipped ($0.50/rd shipped.) I'm already buying some guns from him and it came up in conversation. Almost all of it is French 50s-60s military manufacture = corrosive & Berdan primed. None is Syrian (I hear bad things about that...

      Can one make/transfer a Title 1 firearm based on banned rifle?

      Hang w/ me for a minute, this is an odd one that I don't think has come up before... FSA2013/SB281 banned specific "assault weapons" http://mgaleg.maryland.gov/2013RS/bills/sb/sb0281e.pdf "(2) a firearm that is any of the following specific assault weapons or their copies...

      MGA Mk46

      Ok, so MGA has been advertising their Mk46/Mk48 on Sturm lately. I had not heard of it before so went off doing a bunch of research. In a nutshell its a SAW that uses a HK trigger pack. The earlier versions uses a modified pack, but the latest version uses a bone stock HK pack. This has...
