    Best copper remover I've seen is Barretts cleaning stuff. It will pull copper 30-35 patches in a big bore rifle.

    I lost my login stuff and interests shifted. I was big into 22 in college 10 years ago. Then got busy with working and guns kind of took a back seat for about 8 years and now back into them more.

    Sometimes wish to get back to my account there?.

    Don't know why that had a question mark on it, mainly. Guess you weren't asking a question after all.

    Right where I want to be.
    If this needs a different thread, somebody say so, but being a complete newb with guns.......what's the difference between a rimfire and cf? Other than the obvious position of where the pin hits the cartridge.
    Been wondering this for a long time.

    Rimfire the primer is inside the case and centerfire is outside. You can pop the centerfire primer out and reload

    Mike is correct. I didnt have signal to reply...he is quick!

    But to build on that. When rrim fire...pretty much all thats left these days is your 22,22mag, 17hmr and mach2 or whatever the shortie 17 is called? Years ago there use to be more..even like a 32 rim fire. Guns still exist but production ammo is a problem.

    Anyway the priming compound is put into the case as a liquid then case is spun to seat compound into the rim. Cause its like a honey and not water its not always even which is why you get more "fail to fires" in a rim fire than center fire...the pin just hit a spot that didnt have any compound. When the pin hits the rim and the explosive compound it sparks and then ignites the powder.

    Center fire like mike said is reload enable and the primer pops out weather it be a .380 auto or a 12 gauge shell..there different primers and sizes but all the same idea. Center struck by a pin to spark the primer then ignite the powder.

    There is steel case center dire which throws a monkey wrench into this. Its almost all russian made and started with their mil spec 7.62x39 (ak47 round)...which was made in a liquor coated steel case. The stuff is cheap and been imported here for decades. Now the armories in russia in relative peace time had e been making g ammo for consumer market......these are MASSIVE facilities. They churn out billions of rounds a year. And in the last 5-10 years we have seen pretty much all the common calibers made in steel. Today there in a powder coated steel as some complained the laquor cases gummed up their action when hot.

    Anyway I said all that to say this. Some say steel is not reload able...thats the basic idea but can be done its just hard on the dies and the primer pocket is a different size so you need to either come up with a solution or I think they may now make boxer primers forthem?? Read aabout a few guys on the net who have done it.

    Anyway hope this wasnt a derail.

    more on kel tec http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kel-Tec

    Kel-Tec CNC Industries Inc. is a United States manufacturer of firearms. Founded in 1991 and based in Cocoa, Florida, the company has manufactured firearms since 1995, starting with semi-automatic pistols[1] and expanding to rifles and then shotguns. Kel-Tec is a privately owned Florida corporation. George Kellgren is the owner and Chief Engineer. He is the Swedish designer who also designed many earlier Husqvarna (in Sweden), Swedish Interdynamics AB (in Sweden), Intratec, and Grendel brand firearms. According to the ATF,[2] Kel-Tec is the third largest handgun maker in the U.S.

    Weapons manufactured by Kel-Tec include the P-11 pistol (caliber 9 mm); the P-32 pistol (Caliber 32 ACP); the P-3AT pistol (Caliber .380 ACP); the P-40 (Caliber .40 S&W)(discontinued); the SUB-9 and the later SUB-2000, both semi-automatic pistol caliber carbines that fold for storage. In addition, the company offers a family of 5.56mm caliber rifles known as the SU-16 series.

    November 2005 saw the introduction of the PLR-16, a long-range pistol design based on key design elements copied from the earlier SU-16 rifle design.

    [red]A new pistol design from Kel Tec in 2010, is a light weight, full-size, .22 Magnum 30 shot semiautomatic pistol, the PMR30.[3][/red]

    Lightest, thinnest semi-automatic 9 mm pistol
    The PF-9, a flat 9 mm single column magazine semi-automatic pistol based on the earlier P-11 and P-3AT designs, was upon its release touted as the thinnest and lightest 9 mm pistol ever mass-produced.[4] It was announced on February 9, 2006, and was released into production in the fall of 2006.

    "High-Efficiency Rifles"
    At the 2007 SHOT Show held in Orlando, Florida, Kel-Tec introduced a series of new "High-Efficiency Rifles" called the RFB, standing for "Rifle, Forward-ejection, Bull-pup."[5] The RFB is a gas-operated semi-automatic rifle with tilting breech block locking mechanism, loads the 7.62×51 NATO cartridge and uses metric FAL magazines; the RFB "family" consists in a series of Bullpup rifles with three barrel lengths (18" barrel carbine, 24" sporter and 32" target versions), and a patented forward-ejection system via a tube placed over the barrel that ejects the spent case forwards, over the handguard of the rifle. This eliminates a major drawback of Bull-pup rifles, which is that they may not be readily usable by left-handed shooters.[6] Distribution of the RFB rifles in the USA was scheduled for February 2009; as of 2013, it has been publicly released for sale.

    Oh didnt realize it was keltec. Thought out was homeland or whatever that tag says.

    Yes keltec is still very much in business. They make good quality entry level utilitarian guns. Reliable and functional. My step dad has the pf9 or whatever its called. The small 9.

    Many dealers dont like them cause they have a bad rap for some reason.??

    There a good gun. I thought that grip looked familiar.

    I would not mind having one honestly. Not high on my list of guns but would take one or even buy one

    I've had a number of KelTecs, including the original 9mm, two of the .380s, a folding .40S&W carbine that took Glock mags, and presently a folding 5.56 carbine that takes AR mags. The only one I had trouble with was the first gen .380. It was one of the first 50 made and they were still working the bugs out of them. I had to do an extensive fluff and buff and tweak the extractor to get it to function properly.
