The new firing pin hoe was drilled at an off angle and he made up for it by welding on and undersized pin. The primers would flow back into the firing pin hole and the new firing pin broke off at...

I have a model 12/15 BSA Martini rechambered to K-Hornet but the rim-fire to center-fire conversion was done poorly. I'm still hoping to find a BSA centerfire bolt... Back when it was working, it...

Way back in the 1960's there was a rash of run over mail boxes in our neighborhood. My father worked in structural steel and he made up a mailbox post from 10" diameter steel pipe and then filled it...

I have 2 unopened cans just like that. Maybe someday I'll find a use for it...

I don't think any .300 Blackout rifles have a twist rate any tighter than 1 in 7 inches. My Handirifle is 1 in 8 and shoots like a laser at pistol range. With the light load I shoot most of the...

I took another stab at trying the mirror red. They came out blotchy again so I did a second coat and they came out not perfect, but very usable. It could be that it's much more humid than after my...

I've never had a bad day at the range but I had one slightly humorous story. A member and his friend were shooting a 9mm and a .45ACP. As the were packing up I took them a handful of their brass...

I have a Lyman 179g SWC mold that while it's intended for revolvers, I think it would be a good boolit for the .350 Legend. I've been thinking about building my second AR15 in .350 Legend, I've...

If I were a better machinist, I'd try making one from stainless steel or titanium. I think getting the part that mates to the sear right would be the hardest part. Shaping it and getting the holes...

If you're thinking about modifying the hammer on your own H&R Handirifle like I did, don't... Mine snapped on about the 10th shot. It looks to be made of cast steel and looses too much strength...

I cast that boolit too and I'm surprised you can get them to chamber without sizing them down. The .30 caliber rifles I shoot them in won't chamber them without sizing them down.

Now that I cast, I haven't purchased any cast boolits in a long time but my last purchase was from Red Beard bullets and I was very satisfied. I don't know if they're still around...

I had a RCBS reloading manual and about that time I got on the old Fidonet firearms forum. Back then I save every Ed Harris post and he would also answer all my questions no matter how dumb. Ed was...

I keep a few ceramic propane heaters around for an emergency. Lately I'm thinking about getting a diesel powered heater. The run under $150 at Amazon... I saw a YouTube review of one and the sound...

Why bother where there are plenty of good options for a .300 Blackout? I load my .300 Blackout Handi rifle with an 87g boolit with .3g of Red Dot to about 1000 FPS. It's only slightly louder than a...

Any one here shooting this round yet? It seems to be a .30-30 necked up to .357 from what I can tell. That always seemed like a good idea to me...

If I had it to do it over, I would only get the chrome. However, I really like red...

I don't think anyone pronounces the names of the towns in Oregon's French district correctly.

I just bought these from Amazon.

I'm going to give them a try before buying any others. I'll look...

I used too be a member of Tri-County gun club here in the Portland area (actually more than 110 miles outside the city) and any of this shenanigans would have gotten one kicked out of the club. ...

I'm not sure what I did wrong on my first attempt with mirror red. Like with Ford light blue and chrome, I used a repurposed cottage cheese container (with a #5 recycling label) and black BB's. I...

I got around to trying some more boolits with the E.W. mirror red. This time I preheated the boolits to around 80 degrees and had much better coverage. I got some more BB's and another tub and I'll...

I forgot about a couple of my rifles so my earlier statement about 1 in 3 should be 1 in 5...

One one them is a K31 and the Swiss were neutral and likely only saw drill action. The metal is...

Another vote for Keen. I wear Keen sandals and other members of my family wear their boots.

I have 3 old military rifles so I'd say there's a 1 in 3 chance of that...
