  1. Thanks
    wwillson got a reaction from BarryinIN in “I live in a decent neighborhood so I feel no need to carry”. A Rant.   
    I completely agree with you on this.  I tell people who carry, that you should either carry or not, but don't get lazy and not carry sometimes.  The mindset needs to be that, "I carry all the time".
    In my lifetime, I hope to never have to occasion to use the gun I'm carrying, but in the world that way it is, it is likely that I will need my carry gun at some point.  How would I feel if I had the option to carry, needed to firearm to defend myself, but left it at home? 
    Besides, there is no safe place, none.  We live in a "Best place to live in the US" area and there is random crime, from arm robberies to car jackings, virtually every day.

    I've never owned a Glock, but have shot them.  I just don't like them and much prefer my M&P or XD

    wwillson got a reaction from Pablo in AR-15 Cleaning Tools for Bolt, Bolt Carrier and Firing Pin   
    I made a post a couple years ago asking how to remove carbon from the bolt and bolt carrier.  My conclusion then was to try to scrape the carbon with whatever tool I could find that would work, but nothing I had worked well.  I noticed an advertisement in a gun magazine for the Real Avid AR-15 carbon scraping tool.  After reading some reviews on Amazon I decided to give the tool a try.  While ordering the Real Avid tool, I noticed the "what others also purchased" on Amazon included an interesting tool for the same purpose made by Kley-Zion.  I ordered both.
    I cleaned two bolt carriers, bolts, and firing pins that were almost equally carboned up, one with the Kley-Zion and one with the Real Avid.  I found both did the job well and reduced the carbon removal time to less than a minute and did a good job.  In the past I would spend a lot longer attempting to removed the carbon and was never able to reach or remove the black crud from the hard to reach places in the carrier or the baked-on carbon on the bolt shoulder.  
    The Real Avid tool tool cleans more hard to reach places on the bold carrier group and has a built in pin puller, while the Kley-Zion tool scrapes the carbon from the bolt shoulder slightly better than the Real Avid.  If I had to recommend one, I would say get both and enjoy the better aspects of each .

    I have the Lee Breech Lock single station press. It has a much smaller diameter ram and mine is sloppy at best. Do what Woodsoup says and go with the Classic if you choose a Lee.
