    Uppers, build or buy complete, .224 Valkyrie

    Well, I have started my search and have to admit it is dizzying with all that is out there. I looking a a side charger, left hand, in .224 Valkyrie parts and complete.

    Video's not working.

    This started fairly recent. Many of the videos posted do not work for me, I hit on them, it appears to start and immediately returns to what it was. Is this something on my end, the NYG end or something else. The most recent is in the Club House, smart teacher thread. Robin

    Case length

    I'm getting stuff ready for this winters reloading and thought with the third reloading of this batch in 6.8 SPC cases (SSA) it might be time to trim them. My book, Nosler, shows only one dimension for case length, no minimum and maximum. My cases are already below the dimension shown. I am not...

    A short long gun

    This is what I call an American Jaeger. Jaegers were short barreled hunting guns used in what is now Germany. They were usually very ornate, so I kinda Yankeed it up a bit. Robin

    Burr in the barrel

    I just received a new upper with a stainless steel varmint barrel and where the gas port enters the bore there is a noticeable burr. You can feel it when you run a patch through, you can see it when looking down the bore. How do you folks deal with something like this, send it back, or is their...

    Squirrel hunting

    I made this for my wife years ago and she no longer shoots, so I decided to forgo my favorite squirrel gun, dust this off, confirm the sights and have at it. Its a .32 and if I remember correctly, 15 gr's of FFF and it zero's at fifty yards. So its off to the range. Hah, I noticed her engraved...

    Hornady Brass

    I always keep my brands of brass separate, finished up recapping some SSA brass and started in on the Hornady.
