Where I live floods on occasion, and on some of those occasions it floods severely so having a months worth of food is somewhat common sense around here. Anyway, here are a few things that I do in...

Like others, I have had good luck using JB weld to attach a weaver rail to a 20 gauge single shot for a loaner deer gun, and it held up well for at least 10 years and was still attached when I...

Well it has visible wear marks in the bluing, you can measure those with a dial caliper, or anything else for that matter, then look for a spot that wide on all your guns to see if any of them have a...

Yep, they are called "snag hook mold" or more properly "snag weight mold". Yours looks to be $9.99:

I just bought some from Grafs 2 weeks ago, think it was 100 for $88

Funny as we were just talking about this at work last week, to a man all us older guys (looks like I'm now in that group too) talked about how Cabelas used to be just a slightly lower Abercrombie &...

FTI Midway has the Lee "Bulge Buster" kit on sale for $17, has one of the dies for 45ACP/45 Win mag which should pretty much work for 06 based cases:

Looks good so far! Have you tried it on new brass to see if you can swage that belt out instead of turning it off? I'm too lazy to look it up right now but if you know a machinist with lathe collets...

Just use a 10-24 machine screw and give it several strokes with a file first, or use a belt sander. Cut the slot with a hacksaw. Then use something smaller (nail, bolt, or small rod or screwdriver)...

The local walmart has them on the shelves here.

For another use we used to paint it on the inside of cardboard tubes when making rocket motors. I see a 4 oz bottle is $11 on ebay delivered.

Is the data plate with the model number still on the saw, what model # is it?

This. It is easy and repeatable and you can save the castings for future reference and write on them with a sharpie marker.

Best way when you are desperate like this LOL is to use a 1/4" bit and holder. Chuck up the holder in a drill press, put the gun under the bit then bear down on the drill press handle and turn the...

Paint one side with lipstick then squeeze them together, then look at the pattern made to see where the high spots and the binding spots are then make a plan.

To get the rings compressed in order to get the piston completely back into the cylinder you can use a hose clamp around the offending ring to get it pressed back in then tap (or whack) the piston...

So how long did it run before it stopped, and when it stopped did you hear any sort of sharp noise like a bang or a clack? As mentioned, first thing is to pull the pan and see what you have. If it is...

Apologies in advance as this is not something I'm selling, but enough people seem to be looking for 9mm dies that I though worth mentioning they are presently in stock at Midway:
...

I'd aggressively but gently clean the pivot points with solvent then use a magnifying glass to inspect the knife edge. If it still sticks I'd second calling RCBS, they have outstanding customer...

A neighbor has had it for about a year and is not happy, it is hard to have a conversation and not have to hang up and call back about 1 in 3 times. They will be switching when there's another option...

I used to repair boat props with those alumaweld rods as it worked quite well for that. As mentioned it takes a bit of heat, I used my oxy/acet torch. The main thing to keep in mind is that...

Well all you young whippersnappers, back in the days when men were men chainsaws had ignition points like this one does. It hides under the flywheel and chances are they haven't been cleaned in the...

Darn you guys are making me feel old! I got my start when my Dad gave me an old Hallicrafters S38E that I listened to the world with, and my first amateur setup was a National HRO 50T1 ("Table...

"Flush cut" side cutters, you can buy them on ebay for $2 each so get a few as they are handy for cutting other things too.

OK, didn't read the entire thread but I think the issue is that most people are set for at least a year but like the last time, nobody knows how long the "drought" is going to last. I'm of the...
