Weird. What are you using for cleaners/chemicals?
Could your black residue be carbon from the fouling it is removing from the brass?

That is really a strange story. Dropping empty skin cream tubes into the basement? Just odd, but I suppose not the oddest thing ever.

How much are they asking for the new style?
If you're fine with fiddly bits, it's certainly not a necessity. Even less so if you never/rarely need to change the shellholder jaws.
I bought the...
What about the gunbroker listing for $800? http://www.gunbroker.com/item/614045193
Oops. Just noticed the listing was for used. Looks like you'll have to be patient. Try contacting Armscor/RIA to...

I like the Daniel Defense fixed sights.
Unfortunately, there are some sellers on ebay and aliexpress that sell really low quality knockoffs, some even have DD logos. Cheap, and they'd work in a...

I never did understand Cabela's process for firearm purchases. You fill out the electronic 4473 (which I hate, BTW), and even in a state where a CHP or purchase certificate works in lieu of a NICS...

In the weird world of the ATF, you'd best ask them directly. I've heard from a friend of a friend that just building it longer is bad juju. Slight shortening due to repairs is OK.

I've experienced poor accuracy with 458S suppressed. Not what you're describing though. Mine were inaccurate at all distances. Are you noticing any keyholing at any distance? Make sure to inspect the...

Boy, I'd say. I'm tracking a Priority package that took 5 days to make a 4hr trip.
At the current speed, it should arrive around Jan 5.
YES, I have, fwiw. Seems to me they have some serious...

Just got me wondering... As benefit, does CCI allow employees to have first dibs on production? Do they allow them to buy only so much?

I'm also happy with the products and service. I didn't need/want the extra height of the ultramounts, so I installed a couple of the flush mount quick change base plates into my benchtop (installed...

I agree with the general consensus. It can be done cutting down 223. I only had 5.56 NATO brass when I tried, and it all required neck turning, and definitely benefited from annealing prior to...

I certainly would suggest using the Wash-n-Wax instead of Dawn. It really does help prevent tarnishing which happens fairly rapidly with just Dawn+LemiShine.

From the outset, the 458 Socom was intended for the smaller AR15 platform. It wasn't a mistake, it was a feature.
Plus, necking up a 308 would mean blowing out the top half of the brass, and no...

Good idea, I just read too much into it. I'd suggest building one even though you can't form brass from another.
You picked a good time to be considering it, with Starline's planned upcoming run...

It has a rebated rim. You're not going to safely blow out the head/web of a 308 to 458 Socom dimensions.
Starline says they expect to ship the end of June. I'd wait, unless you can find someone to...

I personally would be hesitant to use 17hmr on coyote-sized or larger critters. Racoons would be the largest I'd be comfortable with.
