I've never understood why this is. I like to see a little bit on my boolits, and it seems to work fine. I've used cut and not cut, and it doesn't seem to matter, so I use cut now simply to save on...

Thanks guys.

I have several clips, seven or eight, thanks to the generosity of someone who used to own an m95.

I've already taken the entire thing apart and fitted the bolt properly to itself...

Hello,

I've not been here for a bit.

I cast balls for muzzleloaders, and I cast a couple different Lee designs for my .45acp pistols.

Recently, I acquired a Steyr-Mannlicher m95 in 8x56R,...

This is really awesome. Thank you.

The barrel jacket on mine was easily removed, and the barrel didn't look too bad. It had some obvious pitting, but nothing dangerous.

Heck, most of the dried...

Hello,

The reworked Turks were the 88/05/35 rifles, weren't they?

I intentionally only touched on the historical aspects as I wanted to cover the more technical aspects that an owner of one of...

Hello,

Not much to add except these rifles are awesome, and I found three round clips:

Hello,

I took this for you:

It's not a perfect picture; I should ink it and try again. It's not reflecting the actual sear engagement.

You are right. I purposely avoided pictures of the sear face; I polish with 7,000 grit but I'm sure there would still be visible marks.

I'm sorry; I do not.

Hello,

I thought you may enjoy this. It's my daily carry build; when fitting sear and hammer, I like to use macro photography in addition to standard optical magnification.

These are tests of...

Yup.

Hello,

The idea is that behind brass punches vs steel, or an aluminum or brass hammer.

The aluminum will deform enough to protect the steel.

My concern with the fiber and polymer buffers is...

Hello,

I've wanted to try these for a few years now and kept forgetting to order them. Just wasn't a priority.

Hello,

Please recommend me a press-mounted bullet puller. I'd like to recover some j-bullets, and the ability to recover cast is a bonus, though I'd expect to have to re-melt those.

I already...

Hello,

As many of you know, YouTube has pretty much abandoned its gun enthusiast members.

I got to looking around, and found TheGunTube.com .

TheGunTube.com was created specifically with us...

The problem was fixed with the latest patch.

The steel is plenty thick.

Ramped barrels are generally recommended.

Hello,

Just a word of warning: About 25% of sights I encounter have the posts soldered in there so tightly that knocking them out is dang near impossible. I actually accomplished it a couple...

Rebel,

I'm sorry; I do not make SKS sights. I may start, but have been saying that for years. There are already SKS sights out there and so I've not made it a priority.

Hi Travis,

If you have any questions, please shoot me an email or PM here.

Hello,

What was the last issue cartridge/rifle in the United States to take a non-jacketed boolit? .45-70 and Sharps?

What about in the world?

Thank you,

Josh

For me, it depends on shooting speed.

The rifles I shoot are mostly skinny barrel military bolt action. With a Mosin-Nagant it's relatively easy to keep under 1moa or so with three shots from a...

Irons.

One primary pistol has a green glowing front sight. The other has black-on-black but will be getting a tritium front sight when I think about it.

Have shot with dots and lasers and am...

With hotter loads, yes, some. It's more of a weight than anything, though. Changes the balance.

Lowering the pistol in your hand does much more for flip.
