Great gun but apparently they're ammo fussy. There's a hole from the chamber down to the gas cylinder below that you have to be aware of. The gas piston in the gas cylinder gets fouled easily. ...

I lived in SLC back in my skiing days (70s) but I never made it to southern Utah. Love the wide open country of the West. Here, on the East Coast, the only wide open is the ocean. The northeast is...
I'll check out the C4 carbon blaster. Looks like they have it on Amazon.
Thanks.
Maybe this should have been in Gunsmithing...
My HK P7 has a ring of carbon in the chamber that's making the slide stick when ejecting a round by hand (it fires and ejects fine when shooting).

I'm looking for a very clean burning powder for 9mm.
Any suggestions?

Flying into Las Vegas, driving up to Zion that day (few days stay), then over to the Bryce area, then Monument Valley, then Sedona, leaving from Phoenix. That's only a few inches of driving on the...

My wife made the plans awhile back and I just got around to checking it out. Looks nice but, the crowds...maybe it won't be too bad in May.
Forum: Our Town
I should have phrased it better. When Zion is crowded, is it still worth visiting?
Forum: Our Town
How crowded is Zion? I read stories, watch videos, and it appears to be very crowded (1st week in May).

If a magnet sticks to it, it'll work. Cast iron works. Aluminum doesn't.
As M-Tecs said above, the only thing an induction stove and a regular electric stove have in common is the energy source -...

Try to find a dealer that will demonstrate an induction stove. That's what convinced my wife. Nothing heats quicker or with more precision than an induction stove.

We went through the same thinking process not too long ago. We had an electric stove and wanted to switch to gas. We have a gas hot water heater in the front of the house, but to run a gas line to...

I have a Fiskars splitting axe, and it is really good - I use it daily to cut kindling pieces and to split logs that are still too big for the stove. I'm done splitting and stacking for now. I...

I'm impressed at the technology they had in 1948. I wonder how the worker's health fared as they aged. The narrator talks about putting lead in gas, lead in paint...

Rules are good, but club members cannot make them up as they go along. There's no rule at my club that says you can't shoot a 9mm at 200 yds. The rule is that your shot must hit the berm - I was...

I belonged to a club in the 80s that had a skeet field that faced towards a river. We had to keep a spotter near the river with a walkie talkie, and when he saw canoeists coming, he'd call and we'd...

It was mostly maple, but I tried it on some oak (I don't burn any softwood). It worked fine. Out of the half cord that I split, there's three pieces that are way too big for the splitter.

I regretted buying the HF splitter, but, like I said, I decided to give it another try. I split all the wood I had in less than an hour, and I didn't beat myself up like the maul would have done. I...

Koger, thanks for the offer. If we go, it'll be in the fall. I'll have to translate when my wife talks with that Boston accent. It stands out even around here.

The power company took down a large maple tree next to my house in Nov. 2022. I said to leave the wood. We started cutting it up, then I had a pesky heart attack in Dec 2022. A few months later I...
