Thanks!

The grinder is one I built using a Polar Bear Forge frame kit. and a VFD drive/motor. Any would likely work, but speed control is helpful for work flow.

The hardness tester is one of...

We used to drill a small hole on the edge of the clays. Then you can hang them on hooks or string.

Can't see the SRH.platform for a 10. 10mag possibly. 10 wildcat, probably. I like 10mm, but that is one of the last guns I would purchase, behind a whole list of single shots, derringers, and poly...

Yep. Think I want a lightweight 10mm Commander, though it may never exist. Something in .38 Super would work too... Just dreaming.

Thats really neat. The hits show up really well.

I had a heavy power hacksaw that I liked a lot. It did seem much easier on blades than a bandsaw.

My two biggest issues with it were procuring blades and how heavily I had to set the vice to hold...

Thanks for linking that. Good read!

I would give it a shot, myself. If nothing else, have the hardness tested by a machine shop, see how soft it got. It could conceivably be close to proper hardness, and would be fine. If it hasn't...

I made a blown propane forge that worked well. The key was to use a small squirrel cage, and NOT to regulate the propane. Could melt steel down pretty quick. Took less than 5 mins for a 5/16 piece of...

You could try putting garlic in her food for a while, as well as putting cinnamon in her fur. Just spitballing, but that would be where I'd start.

George helped me out. Posted a story, but add me to the list!

Been working on trying to pay it forward as I can. Thank you George!

I liked the thumb safety one just fine. Wasn't hard to use IMO, especially compared to the relatively few other small guns that have them. Really wish I could have gotten a couple on the smoking...

I would really like one of those in a Commander length. On an alloy frame.

Or the one pictured would be ok too... :)

I found the idea of gunsmithing intriguing, but haven't pursued it. My biggest concerns are the current prices of firearms. As was mentioned, most guns are getting ridiculously cheap. What can you do...

I have been using ten shot groups, shot over the course of ten minutes. Keeps the barrel cool, and tells exactly where the point of aim/impact is, since the barrel isn't walking. Not too hard to...

I liked the Ruger, really had no issues with it. In the couple I have had experience with, the Savage was more accurate. That said, I preferred the way the Ruger felt.

The original Axis wasn't...

Had a .308 that seemed to shoot well, but seemed overkill for target work. Was looking at .243 or 6.5Cm for lower recoil and less costly components.

I would say it would stink. Power would be so low that it would change speed drastically when the tool touched and then again when it was pulled away.

I usually thread at least 150 rpm, even...

Agree with Ghosthawk, to a significant degree. Functional is more important than most anything.

But I wouldnt be using Old Hickory...

Just measured the one I did. Opened up a factory Lee .357 to .370 with a drill, sandpaper, and a pencil. Took less than an hour. You could do one in less than 1/2 hr, I bet, since you won't have to...

I like it!

bbogue1, I have some steel .44 dies, if you want to put up a WTT ad. I'll send them to whoever in exchange for them sending some of the stuff you need to you. Also have some brass and boolits to go...

I didn't use the set screw at all, just let the spring guide index the comp. Made it really fast to put on and off, and didn't move much.

The comps actually work far more than ports do, since...

I about a G lock 20 with Jager comp quite a bit. Lead worked fine, it was all I shot. It did make the gun pretty big, but was really nice to shoot. Even if there is no gas to work the comp, it still...

You could set up on a mobile home frame. Then set it up when it gets where it is going. The axles and tongue are removable, and there are movers everywhere.
