I have always liked all critters and especially snakes since growing up in the south Kendall area well below Miami Fl.
we would sometimes catch a really nice Indigo and carry it to the Serpentarium...
Well, OK....I saw a different video. That one is better....thanks all!
Thanks. but I saw that video and that method will not work with my style of slide. This slide has a much longer 'enclosed area' at the front than the slide in the video. It will not allow the recoil...
I just purchased a RIA 10mm 1911 that requires a paper clip to hold the compressed recoil spring back on the FLGR for takedown. I find this method to be a real PITA, and woud like to change whatever...

Here is the Shooters World site write up on heavy pistol:

Greetings....I have a home made plate rack with plates made from scrape blade steel. They have held up amazingly well over many years. M855 just makes a bright spot with a tiny dimple and that old...

The JP spring kit may work for you. Installed the kit on my RR but had to remove it quick as it gave light primer strikes. Since it goes for only $10 or so, may still be worth a try on your rifle....

Gotta like BD in 10mm. In my new Glock M40, 6", 9.5gr gives 1178fps with the Lee TL175 boolit, powder coated and sized thru a .401 die. SD is kinda high at 48fps, but somehow still very accurate....
All this makes good sense. Thanks, I will check all that soon. Haven't cleaned the little bugger from the last two shoots anyway.
I have several mags for my 22TCM pistol and they all let the slide lock open before the last round gets chambered, leaving that last round still under the feed lips or slightly forward. This happens...

It is unlikely that you will get anything near the true collectors value for your P17 at a gun show. If you can wait a while, I expect that you will get a much better price on a collectors forum like...

I used to cast frame weights for a buddy that has a race car fabrication business. They are short track and dirt track cars that need the lead weights for handling or just to meet minimum weight...

The last bucket of wheel weights I bought had more unusable junk in it than I am used to. I usually see only a handful of zinc weights per bucket. After sorting the junk I had only about one third...

I had the same surgery done last July 20. I was done with the formal PT about a month ago, as my range of motion was back to above 95%. The shoulder does still hurt, but seldom need more than OTC...

No personal experience, but I have heard that the .357 Auto Mag is one of the most successful cartridges for M1 carbine conversions.

Welcome! You have a great, historic cast bullet rifle there. However Enfields usually prefer a fatter and heavier bullet than the one you linked to. A .315" bullet in the 160-180gr neighborhood would...

Yep, most Lee seating dies for bottleneck carts won't crimp even enough to close up the case mouth bell. Maybe they want sell more of their fine factory crimp dies. This is fixable. Just grind off a...

I use WD-40 for cleaning the plastic bodywork on the 4-wheelers. Works great and leaves a nice shine. Don't have any in the gunroom although it is OK for light cleaning if you don't leave it on the...
I like to keep at least 1000 45acp and 9x19 loaded at all times....DanM
Yep this one has a buffer that looks almost new. I have replaced both the recoil and striker springs with new. Looks like I just need a softer load maybe with a slower powder. Too bad, because I have...
Greg....I like your blue dot idea. I think I have some. If I am going to change the load, I might as well try a different powder while I am at it.
Yep, the Tec-9 is a lot of fun. I have spent some...
I bought a Tec-9 a couple of weeks ago and have been shooting it with my standard 9mm load, and managed to break the operating handle. That seems like a sign that my loads are too hot for this...
Hard to add anything really useful to what has already been said, but I will give it a try. A chronograph is a most useful gadget. I have found that most published loads for 45ACP overstate the...
