Octane 45
Gentlemen, I've entered into the world of NFA items finally. JCcypress was a great help and I highly recommend him to anyone doing a trust. It couldn't have been more painless and easy. If I would have known how easy it was to set up a trust and buy a silencer, I'd have done this long time... -

Sig MPX vs CZ Scorpion vs 9mm AR
I find the idea of pistol caliber carbine/sbr very neat and have been wanting one for a while now. Today I was at Sherburne and a nice guy at the pistol range allowed me to try out his Sig MPX. It was quite nice. He also had a can for it, although I don't remember which brand. On a... -
9mm Brass Volume Question
I ordered a bunch of once fired and cleaned brass from Top Brass online to reload 9mm with.

AR-15 Markings on Bullet
A friend had assembled a lower and bought an upper for the rifle. After manually cycling some ammo for a basic function check, we looked at the ammo and discovered scratches on the bullet itself in a parabloic shape on opposing sides of the bullet. Is this normal? What could be causing this... -
