      If assault is a behavior, not a device...

      But firearms are automatically deadly weapons, then how are "weapons" legally defined? We all know that a hammer can be a weapon or a tool, depending on how it's used. A baseball bat, a kitchen knife, etc., same story. How does the law define "Weapon"? Does a device only become a weapon when...

      How much rearward energy does .308 transfer through a 10" AR500 1/2" ringer?

      Long story short, My shootin buddy, who I share my private range with almost every weekend, came through with a 10" Ringer, of the 1/2", AR500 flavor. I wanted to make a minimalist mount, so one man could walk it out in the field 1-300 yards, and not come back too winded to spot for the shooter...

Suppposed to do some shooting this weekend with a new shooter, and would like to let him shoot my 1911. Anybody in Allen county have a...

      My dad gave me a new mil-surp and ammo! (Sorry purists, she's sporterized!)

      Well, My high standard .22 project, ( https://www.indianagunowners.com/forums/gunsmithing/333264-high-standard-model-b-restoration-posterity.html ), needs more tuning, but I showed it to my dad, and told him I intended to give it to him when it's done. What's the old man do? He one ups me again...

      60-96 year old mil-surp .303, and something I've never physically seen in my day

      So, my dad gave me a sporterized Enfield in .303 the other day, along with a bunch of old mil-surp ammo. Mixed headstamps, with the oldest appearing to be dated 1918, and the newest dated 1954. A fair amount of the ammo had a good amount of corrosion, so I sorted out all the rounds with even a...

      High Standard Model B Restoration (for posterity!)

      Well, I haven't repaired or restored a firearm in a few weeks now, and was getting bored. I knew my dad had this .22, given to him by a friend who had since passed away. I knew it had some severe water damage, (Rust and pitting), and was given to him, in a gallon ziplock soaked in oil. I called...

      A buddy of mine brought me a new project the other day and I thought I'd share! It's a ban era Romanian WUM-1 Thumbhole AK, with the crescent cut receiver. As the pics show, someone appears to have attempted to convert the thumbhole stock to a pistol grip stock, apparently by chewing on it! I...

      I was just fine going with the general consensus about ATI OMNI lowers but...

      My wife accidentally bought me one for my birthday last week. She said she didn't realize it was polymer until she got it home. What can ya do!? Anyhow, since I have one now, I decided to build it cheap, and see how it does! First thing I did was pull the upper from my other AR, and see how...

      Alliant Unique powder pros and cons.

      So I am just getting into handloading pistol calibers, and I bought a pound of unique, since it seems to cover ALL the bases. (calibers) My question is, if it's versatile enough to load nearly every caliber and weight of handgun bullets, it has to have a weak side. An Achilles heel, if you...

      :GUNSMITHING: Practice run for my next 1911.

      I have had the 1911 bug since before I had one. For my next one, I have been thinking I want to fit everything myself. I have good mechanical inclination, and since I am an automotive painter, I know my way around shaping metal. However...That isn't enough to convince me I'm ready to spend the...

      *Gunsmithing* Does anyone in Allen County have a 1911 front sight staking tool?

      I'd happily throw someone some cash or share some beer, if they'd be willing to help me stake a new front sight on my 1911! If no one has one, what shop would you trust to do yours, and approximately how much does it usually cost to have done? Thanks guys!

      Will an S&W 29-2 rear sight fit an S&W 27?

      Ok S&W wheelgun gurus! Here's your trivia for today! I have a 29-2 .44 mag, and a buddy of mine has a 27 that he got from his grandpa. His 27 has a 3" barrel, and has been fitted with a nice Leupold pistol scope. It's his first real pistol, and he wants it more for a defensive pistol, than a...
