To the more elder reloading guru's out there. Is there any resizing options for 243 and 270 win? It looks as if 243 win can be resized to 308 win but I'm not 100% sure. For the 270 win I'm completely at a loss. I picked up like 20 of each at the range and the only reason I picked them up was...

I finally got a place in Lake Ariel, PA. The Sheriff didn't have much to say about me bring up my NY guns up here. Would I run into any issues having my lowers I purchased in NY up here in PA in full unneutered AR configuration? I unfortunately cannot change my residence to PA because of my...

So a while back I got some pretty negative feedback on my first stippling attempt. I redid my stipple job and I think it looks a lot cleaner now. I also upgraded from the stock plastic guide rod to a Glockstore Tungstun 20 lb guide rod. Also purchased an extended slide stop lever, flared mag...

After 8 months of waiting for my purchase authorization no thanks to Covid-19 and the NYPD licensing division I finally picked up my Kimber Pro Raptor II in .45 Got it used for a great price. I'm not sure if it comes factory with tritium sights but they are nice. I also got a free Wilson Combat...

I have about 100 original 7.5x54mm french rounds I had to take apart because of old primers gone bad and I'd hate to toss the brass. Is there an easy way to remove the berdan primers? I tried the hydro method but it didn't seem to work great and just made a mess.

Well, I finally bit the bullet and decided to get a plinking gun so I'm not breaking the bank on ammo (but I broke it anyway on upgrades for the 10/22). I'll post pictures as I receive stuff in the mail which should be over the next two weeks. Here is the rifle itself, got it for $405 Magpul...

A few moments ago at my job one of my employees started to rant about how one of my personal friends who was involved in an altercation (he was pushing a BLM/Anti-PD protestor back after being first struck) at a Pro NYPD rally is racist. I asked how he could say my friend was racist because he...

Is it just me or is anyone else worried about Trump winning the next election? With the way everything is going and how the media/social media/news constantly slander POTUS and release fake news/information to damage his approval ratings. Not to mention the shady business of ballot harvesting...

https://www.google.com/amp/s/nypost.com/2020/06/25/nyc-man-arrested-carrying-a-grenade-launcher-in-the-bronx/amp/ I can only laugh at the stupidity for carrying that in public but its looks like a Havoc-STZ 37mm flare launcher.

Topic says it all. Looking to buy a Savage 116 300 Winchester Magnum or something similar, I'm looking to spend around $400-500 range. Near NYC would be preferable but I will drive as long as it's not extreme. Thanks!

Anyone have any suggested load data for these bullets? I picked them up because they were on sale at MidwayUSA. Hornady manual has for ELD-X or Interlock RN, not HPBT Lee Modern Reloading doesn't go up to 220 Lyman Handbook doesn't go up to 220 Western Powder's Handbook doesn't go up to 220...

I got received my BRN-180 upper in the mail today. I was so excited to get this on my SCR so I could use a different style stock not being bound by the Remington style recoil system. It seems as if part of the trigger system in the Fightlite SCR gets in the way of the bottom of the upper...

I have some brass for my MAS36 which are stamped 6.5x55mm Swedish which were obviously converted to 7.5x54mm french. How do you convert 6.5x55mm swedish brass to make it work for 7.5x54mm french? Is there a tool and/or technique involved?

I'm in the progress of taking apart very old 7.5 french ammo to deprime and put new primers in. The one thing I noticed was that the 30 caliber bullets are lead nosed and they are deformed. If I was to chop off the lead nose and made it a flat nose would this be reusable or should I not bother...

I got a sporterized MAS 36 from Kev74 for a great price and now it's time to return the gal back to her former glory. I've always been opposed to sporterization of classic rifles. This is the before: This is the current: Keep in mind I still haven't received the mid band swivel mount/screw...

Is the BRN-180 upper legal in NYS or will it require the barrel to be cut/crowned or a thread protector to be welded on?

I was eligible for my next handgun in early February. I mailed in the purchase authorization request on 2/4 and got a USPS confirmation receipt a few days later. I realized they are probably closed down due to covid-19 but this shit is out of hand now. On May 14 I will be 120 days over due. My...

I will take pictures once I get home from work (too lazy for that) I was looking through my pile of stuff last night and figured since Carlos Hathcock hooked me up with some free brass and everyone has been so helpful with advice on reloading I would do a karma giveaway. All I ask is people pay...

I was a little slow getting started as the auto drum wouldn't keep steady at 42.0 gr on a powder drop so I had to do about 10 drops, there ultimately was a variance of 0.2 to 0.6 but not enough to push even half way to the next load fps. I used Federal 210 large rifle primers for the reloads. A...

According to Hornady's 10th edition the max case length on the cartridge is 2.105 but there is no mention of the minimum. Western Powders 7th Edition states the same with a Trim length of 2.095 and Lee's Die insert information card states Trim length of 2.105 When I was case prepping and...

I have read they both do the same thing it's just a matter of if you have a press that can do it like with a Dillon or if you have a case prepper tool like the Hornady Case Prep Trio. Is one better than the other? I've read that the swaging requires lube where you can do reaming dry. Currently...

I'm assuming that the answer is yes as the full-length sizing die removes spent primers, adjusts head space but both resize the neck; but the collet die strictly resizes the neck. So do I need a collet if the resizing already does this function? Should I use the collet regardless after using...

I'm currently looking to purchase reloading equipment. I have never reloaded but have been watching videos and reading up on it for 6 months. So far I have purchased: Lee Loadmaster Progressive Press (got it for a steal on Ebay w/ 3 tool heads and 3 shellplates #2L, #4S, #19S, it was just...

Does anyone happen to know if the Archangel M1A stock in legal in the PDRNY? It looks like the stock has what would be considered a pistol grip.

https://www.google.com/amp/s/amp.usatoday.com/amp/4522188002 Anyone else find it amazing coincidental that on the day of the Virginia Gun Rally and the day before Shot Show 2020 this shooting happens?

As the topic says I'm having issues with my .458 SC upper not cycling. I fire one round and it does not eject and chamber a new round. I am not sure if the ammo I purchased from LAX ammo is the culprit or if it is something else. I am using the upper on my SCR and I have even tried it on my...

Would anyone know where to find after market new wooden stocks with similar build quality as factory for the Lee-Enfield MK5 No.1 Jungle Carbine? I have searched google but I can't seen to find any, even GB has nothing worthwhile. I'm at a point where I will even pay to have ones custom...

It's an amazing semi shottie. I got it yesterday and immediately took it to the range and put 50 shells through it. It handles like a dream and I had quite a bit of fun double loading. Had some decent groupings 7 shells to the head, 7 to center from 15 yards.

Forgive my ignorance but what is the exact name of the thing that holds one shotgun shell on an angle right in front of the ejection port on a shottie? I've seen it used for a quick one load.

Just some background on me. I have all my permits which allow me to have my handguns and long arms. I bring this up because this afternoon I went to Nassau County Pistol & Rifle Range with two of my friends (who are NYC residents) to shoot my long arms with me. I had a Mossberg Scorpion, .22...

I just purchased a Ruger American 6.5 Creedmoor w/ Magpul Hunter stock as my first bolt action. Updated: Ordered a Magpul M-Lok bipod and Leapers UTG 1-8x28mm MRC scope Vortex Crossfire II 6-18x44 AO Rifle Scope w/ Vortex Viper extended cantilever for it. Also ordered: (3) Magpul 10 round...

I'm sure I'll get a lot of hate for doing this but I'm not a huge fan of wood furniture, especially in the standard lacquer finish. So far I have removed the stock wood handguard and have replaced it with a Midwest Industries rail and attached a Magpul AFG-2. I have everything on order and...

I was looking into these two items and was wondering if they are legal in NY or not? I believe they are legal in Commiefornia. There are a few threads here but no definitive answer and all of them seem to go off topic. Any info would be greatly appreciated.

Selling Magpul SGA 870 stock (black) and Magpul cheek riser. The items were used just to test fitment for a potential project. They were never modified in anyway and are practically brand new. They have never seen fire time. Price: $60 shipped for both items to lower 48. For anyone who may...

Is anyone familiar with this? When I purchased my SCR the shop had installed the Leaper UTG Pro slim free floating handguard for me. I guess they forgot to give me the wrench and its been a few months now. Does anyone have any ideas on how to get this thing off besides buying the proprietary...

Does anyone know if such a unicorn exists for 5.56/.223 ??

Does anyone know how to take the stock off the Fightlite/Ares SCR? I have looked on the web but there is no tear down video that covers the stock removal or any sites that I have come across. Unlike the Remington 1100's (which has a slot in the nut so you can use a large flat head screw...

Hello everyone, I'm from Brooklyn, NY and am a Paramedic by profession. I just recently purchased a Fightlite/Ares SCR and will be working on my build. The forum has always been a great insight of information but I was always too lazy to sign up but that had to change sometime.
