you will find out how good your follow-thru is when you shoot the S&W 52 :)

For example, here are two stocks i built. I used the liquid Pro Custom oil from start to finish. This is the sheen I wanted but I could have easily done them with less sheen or more. Top stock is...

I use a lot of the Pro Custom oil liquid, you can't beat me hard enough to make me use TruOil. Pro custom oil is not so thick and sticky and will allow you to rub in final coats which I thin...

Finally remembered to get mine out yesterday and confirmed what I thought I remembered. The ejector in mine is NOT a part of the magazine, but instead it is a separate part in the unit and...

Here's where I go for parts and information on 1890/1906 winchesters. Great guy. https://1890winchesters.com/

They certainly aren't what we are used to for years. Seems like everything I need is out of stock. Recently I needed a Brownell steel grip, ordered it. Received it in short order only to find out...

I would guess you can find out about it over on the ASSRA forum.

Super glue. It will wick thru the crack. Clamp it. Thats the easy part. Most importantly, you must find why it cracked and refit it properly or it will just crack again.

I've used lots of Pilkingtons and Brownells equivalent, couldn't tell much difference. They were both rather unforgiving. Then I discovered Laurel Mountain's version and haven't used anything else...

Didn't the cleaning black powder in the bore as the bullet was pushed down play a part as well?
Phil

I'm pretty sure they were, but have no idea how it was done.

By the way, screws are the same. trigger guard on a post 64 is wider as is the part just in front of the floorplate. Both just need to be reshaped as does the floorplate. No big deal, just time....

I just finished cobbling together a pre 64 Mod 70 for a simple shooter. Didn't want to spend the money to buy pre 64 bottom metal, I used post 64 which took quite a bit of filing but doable. The...

If you are just repairing a scratch or two, I wouldn't do a complete refinish. Maybe a little stain and a little finish. Just put a dab of finish on and wipe it off fairly soon with with palm of...

I've never Ransom Rested either that would shoot a 10 shot group under 3" right out of the box. 25 yard groups mean nothing to me so I've never tried that distance out for an accuracy measurement. ...

Given the parameters, I agree with the Frog. However, there are other pistols I would buy before I bought either the Gold Cup or Kimber for Bullseye use.

Brownells has small jars of it, so no problem. ...

your 3/4" tool will work fine although I would prefer one a little smaller, just watch what you are doing. Using something like inletting black will show you where you should work.

What he said.

I use Acraglass on hunting rifles and Devcon steel on bench rifles. As to the runnyness of Acraglass, when I mix it I don't stir it for the prescribed amount of time, just enough to get it mixed. ...

I don't think cold blue protects anything, just for looks. I'd leave it alone.

I do a lot of stocks and my luck steaming out dents is pretty sketchy. Sometimes I can get small dents to come out but not big ones. Sure haven't had any success steaming dents until all finish has...

I've used Green Mountain barrels on several Ballards, Winchester, and Stevens. No problems with accuracy and would use the same again. Personally, I would go with a 32-40. Pleasant to shoot with...

I have a couple of gunsmiths I use here in Missouri and will be happy to give you their contact info if you want it. Otherwise, visit the forum on ASSRA.com. We talk about these type things...
