      22lr case rupture today

      I'm thinking Winchester may be leaning toward the small end of case diameter tolerances. This would assure that their ammo fits easily into just about any chamber, perhaps cycles better in some semi-auto's that have slight dimensional problems, things like that. Put them in a chamber that is on...

      Changing grips on 1911

      I'm more for staking than red Loctite. I just see potential for aluminum alloy frames stealing the limited heat you get from a soldering iron, things like that. Also, as stated by others, IMO there is no need for blue Loctite on the threads of the grip screws. The grips act as a lock washer to...

      Bending a shotgun stock

      I have the set up and knowhow. One must keep in mind that the further you need to bend, the more likely it will spring back a bit over time. Also that you are better off expecting something close to the actual cast you ask for, nothing exact. The grain, age, etc., all factor in to the equation...

      Changing grips on 1911

      Just for future reference to anyone interested. The blue Loctite would have worked to solve the problem with the original bushings. At least 99% of the time, to my experience. Clean the bushing threads and the hole they go into with acetone to degrease, apply the BLUE Loctite, and let them stand...

      Recommend me a smith? Install express sights on a SxS

      Still looking? If so, a lot may depend upon the sight you choose and the type of rib on the gun. I can do it if the rib is right, and more than likely it is, but I don't see buying the express sights and getting them installed for that number. I expect decent sights will cost most of that.

      TITEGROUP at 1500

      Yep. I figured that was a bit extreme, bit I'm down to less than 2lbs. of Unique.... Hoping this will get me through until the shortage ends. If not, this could be cheap.

      TITEGROUP at 1500

      I was out at the 1500 yesterday, dropping off a rifle, and decided to have a look around while there. I found a guy selling 1&8 lb. jugs of Titegroup. Not knowing much about it, but remembering having read some good things, I bought 8lbs. After checking resources when I got home, I'm glad I got...

      Auto-5 mag tube removal

      serial By old, I'm assuming Belgian? I know that at least up to the 464,000 serial range, mid fifties, they were all threaded. I don't know if this carries on up until the Miroku days or not. If it's threaded, you will need to make a 3-4" long metal plug which fits the ID of the tube very...

      RRA 6.8mm SPC

      Been too busy lately to check. Now I have. Thanks.

      Rebarreling a 250-3000 Savage...is it possible?

      A VERY nice shooting rifle too. Keep it as is and stock up on ammo and/or reloading supplies.

      RRA 6.8mm SPC

      Ok, I looked around over there, found no RRA reviews. I'll check again. I've been looking around for ammo, and still not cheap. I'm wondering whether it may go there though.

      RRA 6.8mm SPC

      Interesting, but not exactly what I'm looking for. What I'm asking is things like, What you think of the 6.8, it's potential longevity on the market? Opinions on RRA guns? I'm absolutely unfamiliar with black guns.............

      reblue a P-89 slide?

      Have you considered a deep rust blue? It's much more durable than tanking, but still gives you that "gun blue" look rather than something painted. Give me a shout if you're interested. I can take on something quick like that right now and have it back to you in a week. Jim

      RRA 6.8mm SPC

      Most who know me at all, know that I'm a traditionalist when it comes to most guns. However, I'm thinking I should own one AR. With that in mind, I started shopping Rock River Arms, figured I would get something 5.56, but came across the 6.8 and it got me thinking. I've done a search, so I...

      Interesting question...

      Are higher quality used guns acceptable? I though we were going under the assumption that the better made guns were not available? If we can include any used gun under $500, I'll go with the 70 series Govt. model in brushed nickel I just picked up. I paid $600, but after selling off all of the...
