I have one of these and I can never get it to dump a whole mag. I know its my technique but I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong. After a few rounds the hammer doesn't reset so i need to charge it again which usually have a live round in the chamber. My guess is too much forward pressure.

I work at a school and those have been up for a few years now. Our school has an air rifle team, so, hmm, never thought of that.

while i don't expect you to tell all about the clans involved, i have one small question to ask-
did the "spee-uh" clan refer to themselves as that before the show?
I don't recall any of em that I know personally (not just spee-uh) calling themselves "clan"

speah clan killed a "200 pounder"
but one guy was able to strap in on like a backpack and carry it out
Since I know some of these guys personally, the spear clan is some big guys that could possibly pack 200 (although they probably didn't and if they did it wasn't far). Even though it's a reality show, not much reality to it.

« on: November 17, 2013, 07:59:21 PM »That just goes to show you
The spear clan are not only hunters
But they are also better detectives than Steve magarrett and Dan-O
See, i told you its better than Hawaii 5-0.
You guys just need a positive attitude that's all
Put aside the hateraid
Yep you gotta take it as comedy. Two and a half day walk........

General Discussion / Re: Random Talk Thread
« on: October 24, 2013, 08:52:58 PM »So, I went to Kona this past Friday-Sunday. My friend told me she "...only had $200 to spend on ammo," and i figured, "Holy crap, that's a lot of ammo!" Ammo was purchased on Friday before my 6:30pm arrival, as the shops would be closed on the weekend. Turns out that in Kona, $200 worth of ammo comes out to 50 rounds of steel cased .45ACP, 50 rounds of .38Spl, 60 rounds of steel cased .223, 50 rounds of steel cased 9x19, and a 325 round box of Federal Automatch .22lr ( the one 325 round box of .22lr cost $44, and I believe the box of 9x19 was $24). Dear God, I never thought I'd ever feel bad about bringing guns for friends to shoot, but I felt terrible for having them spend so much for ammo!
I was able to bring 60 rounds of Lake City M855, two bricks of American Eagle .22lr, and a box of some 9x19 so we were able to shoot a little more. I ended up leaving all the leftovers behind (just 30 M855 and a brick and box of .22lr) since I have more access on Oahu and still have a press at home.
I've maybe bought 4 boxes total of various calibers since before the scare, so I'm not used to seeing inflated prices, but geez...The neighbor island guys have it rough!
Yeah Kona side is really expensive. Hilo is a little cheaper but kinda dry on popular calibers.

that's not the kind of mindset we should be having. Maybe if he was an adult, you could say that. But he was 13 years old. Kids at that age don't realize the reality of the situation. They've been sheltered their whole lives and have yet to experience the real world and can't comprehend the fact the police don't know it's a fake rifle. In his mind, he knows it's fake, so he doesn't understand why they're getting all bent out of shape....then he makes the wrong move of pointing the muzzle towards them and paid for it with his life.
This should be a lesson to PARENTS to teach their kids about firearms. When i was growing up my parents didn't teach me much of anything. One of the few things that my dad DID teach me though.....was never point a gun...even a toy gun at anyone. I was taught this from him even though he wasn't a gun guy.
Another thing that I see a lot of airsoft guys do is paint the orange tip black, which makes it harder to determine if it's real or not.

Reloading / Re: 7.62x51 NATO reloads
« on: October 13, 2013, 01:23:20 PM »The best way is to chrono your loads to find out what kind of muzzle velocity your load is producing on your gun.
I don't have one yet but I definetly will test it when I do. As of now I'm just going off of case readings and group size. Hopefully I can get one soo though.

Thanks guys. I went out today to test some loads. Went really well starting at 38g and working up to 41g in .5g increments. Settled with 38.5 - 39g. Going to play with little increments and OAL a little.

Reloading / Re: 7.62x51 NATO reloads
« on: October 07, 2013, 07:13:34 PM »I was using the CBC military brass, SMK 168 HPBT when I loaded the 39 grains varget and was .015 off the lands on a rem 700.
I started off at 41 and worked up to 44.5 grains varget, each jump in grains all came out hot. So much for the manuals being conservative.
Just wanted to pass on info I learned when starting to reload. Wasted lots of powder and bullets doing the load test, but had fun shooting....
Thanks for the info, it's much appreciated.
I'll pull the rounds that I made and will start at 37-38 and see what happens. I'm .010 of the lands no crimp.

Reloading / Re: 7.62x51 NATO reloads
« on: October 07, 2013, 05:58:32 PM »There was a post online somewhere that said the NATO brass was 3% smaller in case volume than regular brass...
I use 39.5 grains and have not had any signs of high pressure. At 40 and above the primers were flat..
Load some at 38 and work your way up by .5, you'll find the sweet spot....
My Speer reloading manual #14 says reduce by 3% for mil-surp and lists starting (commercial) at 42 and 46 max. I will try a few at 38 and start from there. I've read some going as much as 10% less charge which is close to 38 grains with 42 as a start. I just didn't know if there would be any ill effects of a charge that's too low
Scale is accurate (confirmed to +/- .2g with my digital scale) and each charge was carefully measured. I will go and borrow a friends to triple check though.

Reloading / 7.62x51 NATO reloads
« on: October 07, 2013, 01:40:41 PM »
So this is my first go at reloading. I reloaded some mil surplus 7.62x51 cases with hornaday 168 BTHP bullets with 42 grains of varget to start. They were too hot as it had very hard extraction (even chipped my extractor) and flattened primers. I know that surplus cases use less powder but how much less? I made five rounds with 40 and 41 grains but need to get the extractor changed before testing. Anyone has a good starting load data? OAL is 2.780 ran through a Browning x-bolt.

« on: February 15, 2013, 09:37:40 PM »yes free but you have to bring your on clays, ammo, and shotgun. its on the same road as the dump but further down.... And if I believe right it's only open Saturday Sunday and Wednesday( wed is half day or something) it's nicer and has more stations than the one at kokohead in oahu
Also certain Saturdays are half day only ( open at 12:30) due to furloughs. It's the second or third but can't remember which. The range will be closed for the tournament. I will be there watchingEDIT. I think I had the dates wrong.
