  1. According to the rules I cannot mention the name.
  2. I ordered bullets in November 2022 from a company and had not received them for a few months so I emailed them. They said they had a problem with a hotshot (shipping) and the truck broke down. They shipped me 1 case of the 6 cases ordered. This was Feb 2023. In June 2023, I finally got a reply to a messenger message, after several emails and messenger messages and phone calls, when I said I would share my experience with their company on social media. They said they don't always get messages for some reason and would ship my order this week. They shipped 1 case. Their phone number does not work anymore and I have sent messages through their website with no response. They sponsor matches and are still in business. All my emails and messages have been nice and not rude or threatening. I want my product or a refund. I tried a charge back with my credit card company but they said too much time passed. What would you do in this situation? I am out 10,000 9mm and 5,000 40sw, ........which is a little over $1000.
  3. I am sharing my experience with a bullet mfg that is involved in the sport of USPSA. I ordered some bullets in November 2022 from a small bullet mfg that I had previously ordered from before. I ordered 4 cases of 40 and 10k of 9mm. I finally got one case in February when he responded by email with... "Randy, Thank you for reaching out. I had your order sent by a hot shot since it was larger, but he got into an accident on the way. The case I sent you would have put him over weight. I will send you new cases this week. Unfortunately, I'm dealing with his contractor right now, but I will get you your bullets, I appreciate your patience. " Several months later, on May 31, 2023, I got a response on his business facebook messenger account, after I had threatened to share my experience on social media due to no product and no refund, and he immediately responded with.... "Randy, sorry my messenger app doesn't always send notifications for some reason. I closed all orders to fulfill your this past week. I 'm sending the majority today via USPS and the rest tomorrow. Im sorry for the inconvenience." I got one more case of 40. I waited over two weeks and still he owes me 2 more cases of 40 and 10k of 9mm. I started trying to contact him again as I am afraid of loosing my money. I said I needed my product or a refund. I just called him yesterday, 7-31-23, after finding a phone number and I left a message. Any suggestions? I don't want to break forum rules so I am posting this without the name of the mfg, unless I am allowed to reveal it based on it just being a... things I hate rant.
  4. ergo tactical grip. about $35-$40 but it feels great
  5. Are the followers getting hung up on the slide stop?
  6. Someone Driving by or one of the neighbors may think you are using a real gun and call the police and state there’s a guy with a gun at this address.
  7. dont waste your time processing brass unless you like to do it. I get mixed range pickup brass and put them into a tumbler with walnut or corn cob media and a tumbler polish. I run them 1.5 hours then sift the media with a separator. I then store them in a container till I need them. When I need brass, I have a gallon size bag that I spray hornady one shot on the inside and put brass in the bag. I shake and massage the bag so they are lubed and then dump them into the case feeder. I deprime and resize with one die in my press along with powder and bullet all in one passing on my 1050 or 550. Don't make it too complicated or long. Randy
  8. I have like 4000 with powder and primers installed! I guess I will play with fixing them first. I got them for free. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  9. Good idea, never seen a 2011 dummy mag. Any idea on where to get one or who makes it? I have an old mag and maybe I will fill it with a plastic to make sure it doesn’t deform in the vise. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  10. Has anyone here made a 2011 vise block for holding the frame while you clean or work on it? I am thinking that someone has a 3d printer vise block for the 2011. Otherwise I was thinking about making one out of plastic cutting board material. Thanks Randy
  11. I am looking for pics of the 3 sided wood railroad timber built safety areas. This way the round can only leave going up or straight back. I also want an easy way to construct it. Do they drill and nail the timbers together? I have seen ones that use t posts to keep them from falling over, but I think that is not a good way to construct it. Thanks for the side berm ideas. I have seen these, but you can sweep people walking by.
  12. I recently aquired 8x8 or similar timbers from old guard rail posts. I have a bunch and we have no constructed designated safety areas at our range. I have seen many good safety areas built from railroad timbers or similar. Does anyone have a picture of what they consider a good safety area that is stable and how it was built? thanks, Randy
  13. A light and laser combo stream light tlr2. And a holosun red dot that is shake awake. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  14. I have lubed them and then put them into a sizer without the decapping pin. I then crimp it. It has worked on some. I thumb test to see if the bullet can be pushed into the case. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  15. A so called best gunsmith wants to mill and shim a barrel for my brother for accuracy. Faxon 18" fluted barrel. He also wants to install a piston system for him. Anyway, has anyone heard of milling and shimming their AR15 barrel for accuracy? I was thinking maybe heavy barrels for 1000 yard shooting. This is not for competitions, but just for a first time AR15 my brother is building for a shooting for fun gun. Thanks, Randy
