Ditto in the Mojave!

What a pair of pathetic losers! Get a life already!

1894cfan

Try shooting a Glock 21! About double the capacity of the 1911 and just as much of a ***** cat to shoot!

1894cfan

Figures it would be Yogi and Boo Boo! Looks like Boo Boo grew up and Yogi got old, likely the one on the ground!

AmBraCol, I'd love to get that as a bumper sticker/magnet and stick it on the back of my truck and drive around in heavy traffic in the SF Bay Area and Sacramento!

1894cfan

My problem was that when I was shooting the Win 5.56 ammo, I didn't recognize that there was a problem that the Mini wasn't cycling like it normally was and kept shooting until it broke, then had to go to fleabay to get another. Since then, been trying NOT to do it again!

You want to stop violent crime? LOCK UP THE CRIMINALS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Or shoot them!

Should have made the M1 Carbine in .45 acp from the get go.

Would have been a heck of a lot lighter than the Thompson SMG! I still like the 30 carbine round better.

I'll pass, my M1 Carbine still works.

I wonder how long it will be before someone offers a 22TCM conversion barrel for Glock 19/23?

1894cfan

Samsi, did you read my response to Sixgun about the re-barrel? If not, read it! It explains the reasons I was having the problems that I was.

1894cfan

Oh….that explains it…….my fault for reading too fast and not absorbing the important parts…… That must have been a job……..yea….keep it to the side and use the AR…. those things eat everything…… :mrgreen: Yup, I know about the AR. I've got a 300BLK upper that I've run everything from Hornady's 86gr ...

1894cfan

Sixgun, it was a re-barrel! 17.5" bull barrel with 1/9 twist with a Choat night firing flash suppressor/front sight. Likely the company that did it took the 223 cal on the receiver to heart and chambered it JUST for that cartridge! Too late to do anything about it now, it was some 35 years ago,...

That is why I got a Kali Key, LO-PRO version!

1894cfan

FYI, the ammo that broke my Mini14 bolt was WINCHESTER 55gr FMJ 5.56 200 rd. bulk factory ammo! Only got 2 boxes of that stuff. Sixgun, just blacked some green-tip 5.56 rounds and had NO rifling marks, before AND after seating the bullets TEN THOUSANTHS deeper! I think I'm going risk it and try runn...

1894cfan

I'm in Kalifornication, so trades are not likely to happen. Besides, I've got SOME .223 stocked up with more on the way as long as the primers, powder and bullets hold out. With the Mini and an AR in 223 Wylde in the rack I should be good for a while. 8) I was wondering about the feasibility of modi...

1894cfan

What gets me is they have nothing chambered in 40s&w!

1894cfan

Pig Hunter, makes sense to me. Thanks. With that being said, I think I'll go with plan B, pull bullets, reduce powder, re-seat bullets to proper depth. I hope I NEVER have to go that route!

1894cfan

Modifying the firearm is a no go at this point. Modifying the ammo is, and the cheapest. That is why I started this thread.

1894cfan

Ian makes sense in that regard. HOWEVER, the Mini14 I have was re-barreled a long time ago and chambered in .223, likely to match specs. A couple years ago when ammo was getting kinda hard to find, I picked up some from wally world that was labeled 5.56 (there, got the name correct this time) and pr...

1894cfan

Just had a thought, probably the best way of going about it is to pull the bullet, dump the powder and reset the RCBS Uniflow powder measure to throw a grain or two less and reseat the bullet to .223 length. IF I have the time to do all that! I'm just thinking on keeping the Mini running for as long...

1894cfan

Thanks, Bronco. Have a Mini14 that was re-barreled THREE decades ago with a bull barrel and chambered in .223. Made the mistake of shooting 55.6 in it and broke the bolt! Was able to get a replacement off fleabay and got it back up and running. Have a Wolff extra power recoil spring in it now. Just ...

1894cfan

For the sake of a what if scenario, say the supply of 223 is vastly reduced and all that is available is 55.6. What is the best safest way of modifying 55.6 for firing in a rifle chambered in .223? Reseating the bullet down enough to chamber and fire in a .223 rifle? And if so, would that increase t...

1894cfan

Except for the price,

, I wouldn't mind having one in 300BLK to run 11gr 296 and 195gr RCBS 30-180FN-GC ammo through it, especially if it had 5/8-24 thread on the muzzle.

1894cfan

Thanks, AJ. At least somebody makes an armbrace for something other than an AR. Does the AR armbrace thing effect these as well?

1894cfan

That looked like a fun way to water the lawn.

1894cfan

Got a question, does anyone make a brace for HANDGUNS? Such as Glocks or 1911s?

1894cfan

Hey, Harry, have you ever dealt with the law firm of Dewey, Cheatem, and Howe? Three Stooges.

1894cfan

Griff, you having any problems with the lid seals? There's several reviews on Midway that complain about leaking seals.

1894cfan

Wonder what the results would be if all were using the same bullet, ie. 30/30 150gr FN, and all arrived at the game animal at the same velocity for said cartridges. Likely the animal would be just as dead. can't argue with that, but don't you think it would be more dead if shot with a Buckhammer ? ...

Just tested the 13.5gr 2400 load in both pistol and carbine length gas in 16" barrels and it locked back both BCGs!
I wouldn't mind trying this load on a coyote!

Doubt it would do the same with 6gr Trail Boss!

1894cfan

Thanks, Ray. Hodgdon's site gives a load of 6gr Trail Boss with 150gr FMJs, so might give that load a start with the 86 grainers and see what happens. BTW, the way the TB meters out of my powder measure, I've gone to hand weighing each charge. As for the 2400, might as well try my favorite .357 158g...

1894cfan

Have several boxes of Hornady's 30 Mauser 86grRNs and would like to try loading in 300BLK. Anybody got any suggestions on loadings? Don't care if they cycle the action or not. Got unique, trail boss, 2400, h110/296. BTW, they do feed from the magazine of an AR when seated to the cannelure and crimpe...

1894cfan

Good one, Griff!

Just read a report that AB all PO'd that he was charged with Hutchins' death! 'Lil cry baby needs to be put down for a time out with a dunce cap on!

1894cfan

Jeff Cooper talked the talk and walked the walk! NOW, can we get back to the thread subject!?

1894cfan

It's been reported that Russia has shelters for MILLIONS of its citizens! The US? SQUAT! 'Cause that's all yer gonna have time for before the missiles hit!

1894cfan

If I remember right, Hutchin's next project was supposed to be about Hollywood pedophiles! What better way to set her up for a killing than a WESTERN movie set??????????

Bingo. And if so, what it really amounts to.

Likely, as happens all too often these days, just a slap on the wrist!

1894cfan

EVERY time I handle my firearm without touching the trigger, it fails to fire!
