Aside from a brief Tamalanche early after installing Sitemeter, a normal day here has been ... slow. That's likely due to not updating daily. I do get a fairly regular stream of hits from google searches, though, and a la the Munchkin Wrangler, I'll post a few highlights.
small rifle primers
The little round thing in the back of a centerfire cartridge that's struck by the firing pin and ignites your gunpowder. There are at least eight different sizes - small and large rifle and pistol, and magnum/non-magnum variants of each. Small rifle primers are used, in particular, in .223Rem/5.56NATO, which is pretty rare these days. If you have primers, count yourself lucky. PowderValley claims they have backorders for 50,000,000 primers, and they're not the only ones.
kns hooded front sight match approved
I'd suggest checking the rules of the particular match you are entering, as NRA Highpower has different rules from Benchrest and Smallbore and so on.
a2 rear sight jpg 0-2
I don't have pictures of them, but try the Google image search. Or look at an AR - the flip-up rear aperture with the larger hole (0.200" diameter) is the 0-2, and is conveniently labeled as such. It's not a precision aperture, but is designed for limited visibility and moving targets. It also has a different zero from the small aperture.
wolf 223 stuck
A frequent issue, particularly with tight chambers. Older Wolf ammo, along with some of the various "Bear" ammo, is lacquer-coated. At higher rates of fire, the chamber gets hot enough to melt this lacquer and effectively glue a round in place. Clear your rifle, remove the bolt if possible, and CAREFULLY tap the round out with a brass rod from the muzzle end. Use acetone to clean your chamber and dissolve the lacquer, then a chamber brush and normal cleaning procedures... and then stop shooting crap ammo in a good rifle. Save the Wolf for the Mini14 and .223 AKs.
hooded cross hair front sight for 22 rifle
Swap your crap Ruger factory sights for a set of Tech-Sights, and the front sight tower accepts all standard AR front posts, including the KNS hooded crosshair.
walmart pistol primers
Walmart doesn't have store-branded gun anything. Not ammo, not primers, not nothing. Some Walmarts apparently do sell reloading components, but I've never seen it.
kns with rra 2 stage trigger
Well, KNS doesn't make lowers. If you mean KNS anti-rotational pins with a RRA trigger, it should work fine. The pins are standard diameter, as are the triggers. The pins just look fancy and mean you need one more tool in order to disassemble your rifle if something breaks.
5.56 a2 rifle insert notes lesson 6
I see you're in the UK. Naughty, naughty! I'm not sure where you're inserting that A2, or why you need notes, but apparently you've made it to lesson 6, and that takes some dedication. Keep practicing and you'll get there!
And that concludes the highlights of this set of search terms...

I believe all the accounts of just how many primers so-and-so has on backorder are overinflated.
Not that any individual business is inflating their numbers, no I think they're being honest, it's just there really aren't as many on legitimate backorder as they say.
Here's why... a LOT of people have placed primers on backorder from multiple sources. They only want X number of primers, so they put that many on backorder from eight different places. As soon as their first order gets filled, they'll cancel all the other orders.
The same goes for all the ammo on backorder. Once the pipeline starts getting full again, we're going to see the backorders rather suddenly disappear- long before the dealers actually ship all of the ones they've got on backorder.
I hadn't even considered that, actually.
I've got my name on the notification list for a couple places, but haven't placed any backorders. I've got enough pistol primers to get through this year of competition and then I'll have to worry. :)
