I wonder is that trigger guard would affect Pmags?

Anyone run a black rear sight on you CCW?

I have new full night sights front and rear. I haven't practiced in low light yet. I am wondering in low light how the elevation would be affected without the rear lit? -
Hornady ammo manufacturing process

Sportsman's here in Chattanooga still has a few components left. What's really weird is that all the Lee dies are gone now. -
If I wasn't pushing the shoulders back far enough, would it make marks on the shoulders?

I sized them a long time ago and they sat. Not sure. I will be sure to check this again when I resize. I was pretty meticulous and read and asked about this before I sized them.

Anyone know what this is?

That pesky part left over after changing the oil pump in your car? -
Loaded my first .223/5.56 rounds tonight. The OAL was fine and it stripped from the mag fine to just cycle though the rifle. I did not fire them. There were a few that chambered but were really hard to cycle out of the chamber. They seems to be the regular .223 cases and not the LC cases. Are the cases bad? Ideas? Up to this point it's only been factory ammo though this AR and it's been flawless.

Thanks, guys. I haven't ventured into the rifle cartridges yet. I primed a few for test loads and wanted to get some input. I plan on loading a charge just enough to cycle the action. Don't really intend on moving to a hotter load for a while.

I gather from hunting around online that this is a common question. I looked at several threads on the forum and didn't see this asked... I have info on .223 loads and no 5.56. It seems like I could have a problem loading 5.56 with .223 data. I am using mixed headstamps (lake city and .223 both, along with others). Planning on using Varget with 55 grain Hornady soft points. Any SME here that could chime in?
-
Not trying to find out the recipe. I am assuming you compress the load?
-
What about...nope, plastic...or...nope, plastic..maybe-dang that's plastic, too. I'm outta here. Can't help.
-
Has anybody used this to lubricate their AR? I have started to use it for reloading and am seeing more information regarding using it on the firearm itself.
-
From what I have read, I think you have to be careful feeding 80grain. I think you may have to do them 1 at a time because they won't feed from the magazine because of their length.

Thought this as an interesting link to see how the bullet and case are made. We work with them all the time, but neat to see how they come to be. http://m.youtube.com/user/hornadymanufacturing

John, welcome. Here's the number for Hamilton County Sheriff's office. They can help you out or point you in the right direction. 423.622.0022

Where did this information about small primers come from? I have never seen it in writing.
-
Is this dlm37015 that you are referring?
-
Thank you!
-
There's no difference? Doesn't the amount of spark affect pressure?
-
I have mixed once fired .45 ACP brass. Where can I find data for reloading small pistol primer brass for the.45?

I was thinking the same thing about the vague part. I wonder if it's incompetence or purposeful. -

Have the paperwork printed out to produce for them on demand. You're allowed a few brief stops on your way through if it is continuous driving. You are not allowed to stay overnight in non reciprocal states. My advice is to still contact the AG. Interesting that the website quoted before from NJ said to contact state police. My carry info book says the AG -

[quote name="K191145" post="1189930" timestamp="1410795435"]Well it was a good thing that at least you were in Tennessee when that happened and not in some New England state. You would have probably gone to jail and booked and had a trial date to clear up the incident. I wish police depts. including college and other depts had to take and pass a test on gun laws. Seems like the other officer new their laws but the first needs to study and pass a test before confronting the public in a state where there are 1/2 million citizens with handgun carry permits. Now they need to be aware that every citizen who is not a felon or court ruled mentally ill can legally keep a loaded gun in their vehicle.[/quote] I'm originally from NY. Kind of funny how quickly I adjusted down here. It seems weird to be without my sidearm when I go back. I agree about the guilty until proven innocent part. -

[quote name="TMF" post="1189266" timestamp="1410573789"]From first hand knowledge, they will pull you over and treat you like crap there if you are from out of state. They have these stupid things called jughandles which are the solution for not having left turns. Well, being from out of state, I was looking for the break in the median to make a left turn. Cop pulled me over for being in the left lane and acted like a child, cursing and carrying on; first thing he said as he approached my car: "What the f*** is your problem?" Only thing that calmed him down, and probably kept my car from being tossed, was my mil ID. I hate New Jersey. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk[/quote] TMF, I understand the frustration. I've been ordered out of my car here in TN after I rolled through a stop sign. The officer was completely wrong for doing a pat down on me and taking my gun for the duration of searching my car. I was driving through a college campus and she said I was not allowed to have a gun on campus property. Another officer pulled up and set her straight. I was not a student and it was legal to use a city road to drive through the campus. That does not keep me from driving my car on a TN road. There are some people that are either ignorant of rules or are ignorant of how to conduct themselves in society. Unfortunately, these people are in positions to deal with the general public.
