Looks for Range

Looks for Range (1/11)

  1. Can a ported gun be converted to production by a non ported barrel swap?
  2. Sight variation to the question: what if I get both a 9 and a 40? Seriously though, I was looking at putting an apex daek in the 9 and putting a competition aek in a 40. Anybody have experience with both? Besides the striker spring it appears that the differences between the two kits is contained in the lower. Me thinks i could have production lower and an unlimited lower and swap the slides. Really I am thinking out loud and will need at least 3 m&ps and a 2011 to solve this problem. On an aside any CC a 5 inch barreled gun?
  3. I wouldn't buy a bull pup bolt action... I don't think it is possible to have a positive retention action with 3 rings of steel. Looks like I an stuck with the deviant for life or need to go over to savage barrels if I want a mausingfield.
  4. Forgive my ignorance on the topic. I really like the three rings of steel design of a standard remington 700. I believe it requires the bolt nose to be recessed in order to fit in the cutout of the barrel to get the 3rd ring. I also like the concept of a remage where I can change out the caliber or replace a shot out barrel without a lathe. Moreover these barrels seem to be counterbored for the bolt nose to fit inside the action to support this 3 ring concept. I have been looking at the arc mausingfield and the bighorn action for their positive retention of the round. The bolt noses on these actions do not appear to accomplish the three rings of steel concept. Am I mistaken? I don't see how the geometry works with some aftermarket actions, albeit they are well engineered with other features.
  5. I have always been a fan of the m&p line and would like to get into some competative shooting. I am military and tend to move around a bit and don't want to close the door on particular classes. Is it possible to get one pistol that can do major and minor without getting out of production or service pistol class? I have thought about a long slide m&p 40 core and dropping in a 9 barrel, but I think this maybe prohibited. Thanks for the pointers. I do reload, but 9mm bullets are more economical than 40s and I give up mag capacity.
  6. That is rediculous. I wonder what caliber changes will run you. With 10 tool slots, it would be very easy to do all trimming and loading steps.
  7. So I have been searching quite a bit for a used 1050... I am in no real rush at the moment. I do have a couple interesting observations: 1) You don't see a lot of Dillon sales on the classifieds section here. I have always assumed brianenos.com = Dillon. I don't know how much the website deals with non-Dillon stuff, but my assumption is that a majority of the people on this forum own a Dillon. My takeaway is that people truly value their presses. 2) Obtaining a used 1050 is nearly impossible. I wonder what the breakdown is by percent of presses ordered. I imagine there are far fewer 1050's out there. I have run across one person downsizing to a 650. Other than that it sounds like people value the capabilities of the 1050 over that of the 650/550.
  8. You presume way too much when it comes to reading people's word. At no point did I ever say that hunt and peck was better and at no point did I state dillon (or Camdex) was the standard. I simply think there is a faster and safer way to do it. With your line of thinking nothing would ever get invented or improved. (And it wouldn't cost 20,000 either. In the wise words of President Trump, I hope we can put this all behind us, but then again, you would probably see that as an order to say something stupid...again.
  9. W2BS you are fiesty. I like you. You must have been a terrible shot. Your insecurity is quite appearant.
  10. Reloading is about saving money so you can shoot more (and doing it safely) I am still skeptical about what the rf100 will do for what it costs. I will probably jerry rig a lee tray. RF100 is too expensive for what it claims to do. Its failure rate is statistically significant and its blue so people must flock to it.
  11. Btw... I am not saying that Camdex is better.
  12. ...its safer because you aren't handling primers multiple times, particularly holding a tube with 100 primers.
