Yup. Phoned them for a primer catcher for a rockchucker. Shipped it to me in Canada for free.

These guys have some pretty good prices on Chinese tooling. I'm not affiliated with them, just a (repeat) customer.

There is some truth to this. Here in Northern Ontario, Canada, several hunting areas have polluted river beds from years of pulp mill effluent. Moose harvested from these areas have elevated levels...

As alstep mentioned, safety first. When I work on a lathe, it's no sleeves and no jewelry (rings, watch). (particularly open-belt machines like ours)

I've been shooting airguns lately. Shotgun shells at 25 meters lined up like 5-pin bowling is fun. Hit the shells on the side to make them spin. Keep score like bowling.

Ed's red is by far the best stuff I have ever used. Particularly with cast. Gave samples to my friends, now they all use it.

Break in time is for the piston/compression tube assembly. The barrel only needs to be cleaned. As assembly lubes burn off in a new gun, they leave residue in the barrel that must be cleaned to...
