    Almost back

    Glad you were safe. I imagine it's a lot easier to say "it's just stuff" until you actually lose it all. I hadn't even thought about this until we bought our house and read the fine print on the homeowners insurance about the coverage not including jewelry and firearms, and it was on a separate...

    Bead Blasting

    This. If there's still Iron in it it can rust. Or at least *I* can rust it.

    Press Maintenance

    The one I'm running is probably older than I am. I put a little oil on the ram piston, then wipe down anything I've touched and give it a shot of Remoil. If you run in Auto Index mode, you'll want to keep a few of the nylon index grommets handy. They wear out every thousand rounds or so.

    Cancer treatments

    Hoping and praying your mom beats cancer. Lost my father a year ago to cancer. I wouldn't wish any of it on anyone.

    Getting Started

    Any experience with the Winchester SuperX2 & SX3 models for 3-Gun use? Why'd they get away from the 300yd shots?

    Smith and Wesson CORE

    Exactly. My thinking would be that if you used a red dot in competition and had a lot of practice with it, and were *fast* with it there; why wouldn't you be able to be fast with it in your house? Conversely, I wouldn't put one on my HD gun if I had never run a red dot on a handgun.

    Smith and Wesson CORE

    As a Carry gun I could see it being a bit of a nuisance, but then people carry with tac lights too. As a Home Defense gun, it should be great.

    Gun headboard

    That'd be a real turn on... Just as things get really going: "Uh, did you remember to lock the headboard?"

    J-Frame

    That's the one J-frame I want. That was a smoking deal. How long ago was that? Beautiful!

    Optics suggestions for AR-varmint build?

    I have one of these on my AR. It is a nice scope. The magnification range is fantastic. I haven't tested it out to any distance yet though. I do wish it would have been Mil/Mil or moa/moa.

    .223 Wylde

    "the fluted barrels are lighter" Given all else constant (IE, metal alloy, length, profile); true. If you take a given barrel, and machine metal off, it will be lighter. However, weight reduction is probably a bad reason to flute. If you just want lighter weight, have the barrel turned down to a...

    My first three handguns were all bought used off GunsAmerica.com (before gunbroker became big). I had no issues.

    Glock 42

    Bah, don't want a .380. Was hoping for a 9mm. If that's what it had been I probably would have been in line for one. As I need another 9mm subcompact carry gun.

    Sold/Expired Anderson stripped lowers $49 from PSA

    I have an Anderson lower on my rifle. Fit and finish seemed excellent to me. One of the better lowers I've built on so far.

    Time to upgrade my AR trigger. Suggestions?

    I just installed the ALG trigger, with JP springs, and the JoeBob's grip screw trigger adjuster - which allows you to take up most of the pre-travel in the trigger. For $70 it's astoundingly better than a stock mil-type trigger.

    1:7 1:8 twist, which one for 3 gun?

    It would still depend on the barrel. Just having the "ideal" twist rate for a given bullet weight won't get you automatic one hole groups. A poor quality 1x7 barrel will still group worse than a high quality one.
