I bought a 50 Beowulf barrel for an AR from midway about 5 years ago. I started the build and could not find gas blocks or other parts for them. I called Alexander Arms asking for the parts. They...

A lot more to it than just mold size.

I hear em every night I go out there. Well, to be honest, I don't know if they are still laughing at the guy with the rifle or the guy that thought it would be a good idea to pull a flint knife and...

Looking around, there are US makers offering D2 and D1 tool steel knives already finished with sheaths for 40.00 with shipping.
I think that is about as reasonable as I am going to get. No good...

Thanks for warning me about getting hooked on knife collecting, but too late. I have a drawer full of knives and use them for different things. Some are specific purpose knives, some are general use...

Well, yes as a matter of fact, they were 308 brass, but I used a Forster Neck Turner to uniform them to 13 - 14 thousandths thickness. A very valid fact and thank you for asking. I was worried that I...
