This is fun in the house @ 40 yards with primer only loads.

Question. I had a bunch of boxes of shotgun ammo in my basement that recently flooded. It was under water for a few hours. Still good?

big pete · 08-14-2014, 09:36 PM

No idea. All I know is I finally have time to pick up my SP-01 Phantom tomorrow!

emopunker2004 · 08-15-2014, 04:46 AM

Shoot it and find out.

I have a similar issue at my dad's house. I discovered a horde of 20 ga shells tucked away in a back closet. Some of the brass looks a bit tarnished/corroded. I have no idea how old the shells are and to be honest, I'm a bit leary of detonating one off that close to my face...

As long as you attemp to shot them from a functioning shot gun they aren't going to blow up in your face.

They will either not fire in which point the primers are wet or the primer will go 'bang' and will not detonate the powder because the powder is wet.

Most likely they will all go bang. If they are 'hit or miss' as far as firing I'd dump them all as you can't count on them goin bang.

Chainsaw13 · 08-15-2014, 01:43 PM

Thanks for the info Shawn. I got the same advice at lunch. Now to contact the local PD on how to dispose of properly.

Or we could just stoke up a nice hot fire and... Nevermind

Brian D. · 08-19-2014, 11:29 AM

Took the plunge, jumped on the "gotta get me the newest toy" bandwagon and bought a Glock model 42 in .380. (It looks like my Glock 20 and 21 got married and had a baby.

)

Surprised by how accurate the little thing is at 10 yards or so. It definitely does benefit (in my hands anyhow) by adding the Pierce extended floor plate to the magazines.

The thing has been completely reliable even when firing it weak hand only, which is very important to me for a small handgun like this. It gets carried on the weak side as a back up, so I've got to know I can run it properly that way.

Rumors abound that Glock plans to upsize this concept just enough to bring out a 9mm version in the future, but I had a chance to get the G-42 at a real good price a couple weeks back and said the heck with the waiting and what-ifs.

Here is the latest pic of my Beretta ARX100. I have made a few additions.

jsnake · 08-27-2014, 09:47 AM

Hope this doesn't violate any rules if so please delete. Have a few extra AR parts if anyone is in need.
Brand new never used LBE AR15 complete bolt carrier group $155 shipped. Phosphated 8620 steel carrier assembly, Carpenter 158 Bolt, Heat treated and plated, Mil-Spec, Chrome lined carrier interior, Carrier Key chrome lined, attached with Grade 8 screws and staked.

Front and rear flip up iron sights for AR or any weapon with picatinny style rail. $45 takes both. Brand new never used. Attaches right to weaver rail. Easy to adjust and includes allen wrench.
