Same in Colorado. We just don't know what rust is. Cars, tools, guns, nothing rusts.

I'm a retired Mercedes-Benz mechanic and I always sharpened drill bits by hand. Was taught how many years ago. A friend gave me a drill doctor as a present, I tried a few bits and realized the hand...

Speaking of "worn" Phillips screwdrivers, if you haven't chewed them up too badly you can sharpen them. Might take one or two getting the angle down and use a fine grit grinder wheel, but you can...

Not only resharpened but probably sharper than when new.

If you are interested in old files you should know about Boggs Tool http://boggstool.com/page5.html and their resharpening service. Costing between $2.80 for a 14" down to 80 cents for a 4", the...

I was on the edge about waiting for the new China pot but changed my mind and bought the current production. I had to hook up my PID, the thermostat was showing a 75 degree swing. I called RCBS to...

Ah yes, learning curve, gotta love it. From the Standard Catalog of S&W, "Hand Ejectors are the typical modern solid frame revolver and a cylinder that swings out to the left side to load. Empty...

Your 32-20 would be a K frame. There were no 32-20 I frames built. Depending on serial number it is either a model 1902 or a model 1905. Properly called amoungst collectors, the .32-20 Hand Ejector...

Here is my Model 1903 HE 3rd change that dates from 1924 wearing the latest J frame combat grips. Just the slightest bit of dremel work and they are a perfect fit. K-Frame grips are quite a bit...

The gent's molds are simply the best and there is always a reasonable, logical, timely answer to any question you might ask.

The 1917 is a joy to shoot, no matter what loads you decide to throw downrange. I load and shoot everything from 185grSWC up to 230RN, the revolver just doesn't care. I have modified sights on my...

Not to say I don't like the full sized gun, this is my 1911 built by Mike Curtis.

It is a totally different feel. When I first approached F. Bob Chow to have an accurized Commander built in 1972 he thought I was nutz. He took my money and built it. Bullseye accuracy, very low...

The ones outside the main hole!! :~) I'm starting to flinch a wee bit in me olde age.

You gotta watch out for those short barrelled versions, they don't shoot worth a darn. Sighting in my brand new STI Lawman 4.0 at 50 feet. You have to pardon the flyers, I'm 75 and kinda shake a...

Bayou52, mine is serial number C160161 and it shipped in 1950. I also know that C1659xx shipped June 1951, so you can put yourself in there somewhere. This is the K frame and is considered the Pre...

The firing pin bushing is moving. Your 629 is covered by Smith & Wesson's life time warranty. Call S&W customer service 1-800-331-0852, explain the problem and they will issue a shipping label. This...

If you like accuracy in a small package, I would recommend the STI Lawman 4.0. Below is a photo taken the day I first took it to the range to sight in (the moving point of impact) with three...

As I was taught on Army pistol teams, when any pistol leaves the firing line, the gun is pointed "down range", the slide is closed and the trigger is pulled before the gun leaves the line. An...

On my LnL press I just pop the seater and clean it with a stick, rag and lacquer thinner before a session. Takes about 30 seconds. Well, OK, maybe a minute.
