Tom Gresham's GUNTALK - The After Show 4.19.15

Published on April 23, 2015
Duration: 34:43

This episode of Gun Talk After Show features discussions on firearm break-in procedures, AR-15 build advice, caliber availability, and gun rights activism. Tom Gresham and his team address listener questions about new firearm maintenance, custom builds, and the political landscape surrounding gun ownership in Oregon. The conversation also touches on new firearm releases and personal defense considerations.

Quick Summary

New firearms, particularly stainless steel models, may feel gritty initially due to the break-in period of metal parts. To smooth them out, thoroughly lubricate with a quality gun lube like Slip 2000 and fire approximately 500 rounds, continuing to lube throughout the process. Stainless steel firearms can feel grittier than carbon steel due to their corrosion resistance.

Frequently Asked Questions

How should I break in a new stainless steel firearm?

New firearms, especially stainless steel models, may feel gritty initially. To break them in, thoroughly lubricate the firearm with a quality gun lube like Slip 2000 and fire approximately 500 rounds. Continue to lube the firearm during this process to help the parts wear in smoothly.

What is AR-15builder.com used for?

AR-15builder.com is a website designed to assist users in building their own AR-15 rifles. It helps in selecting compatible parts from start to finish, making the custom build process more manageable for enthusiasts.

Is 222 Remington ammunition hard to find?

While 222 Remington ammunition might be scarce in local gun stores due to lower demand, it is generally available through online retailers and specialized ammunition dealers. It's often more cost-effective to source it online than to re-chamber a firearm.

Why is it important for gun owners to be politically active?

Active political involvement is crucial for gun owners to protect their Second Amendment rights. This includes joining advocacy groups, contacting legislators, and participating in rallies. Without this engagement, rights can be eroded by those who are more organized and vocal.

What are the benefits of the .327 Federal Magnum cartridge?

The .327 Federal Magnum cartridge offers significant power, comparable to a .357 Magnum, but often with less felt recoil, especially in firearms like the Ruger LCR. It also provides versatility as it can chamber .32 H&R Magnum and .32 S&W Long ammunition.
