I'm not sure if the swivel was original to the gun. It was there when I got it.
I ended up with each of the WSL: .22, .32, .35, .351, .401.

Gotta love those old Winchesters. I brought my 1895 .30-40 and the 1910 Winchester Self Loader .401 to the range.
You can tame the .30-40 with Red Dot and still ring the gong at 100 yds. Little...
These are the same guys that told me I couldn't shoot a 9mm at the 200 yd berm because the bullets wouldn't reach.
My club is holding bowling pin shoots. No lead bullets, no hollow points, and...get this...no 38 Specials. 9mm is OK, but not 38s. Why not? They don't have the kinetic energy to knock the pins...
Got a bottle of C4 carbon cleaner and worked at the gun over a few days. The carbon build-up was actually in the flutes. Now they're nice and clean and the unfired rounds eject perfectly (that was...
I put some heat on that black build-up ring with a woodburning iron and sure enough, it began erasing away. It's actually pretty thick. I'll finish it tomorrow with a different heat tip, then...
SnapCaps bullets are a smaller diameter than the factory ammo, same OAL, and the slide works easily with the Snapcaps. I loaded up a dummy round with a jacketed 124 gr bullet, and the slide stuck. ...
I'm at the beginning of the learning curve for this handgun. It shoots fine - the rounds all chamber, fire and eject. It's just this problem of not ejecting a round by hand. SnapCaps eject by...
Just before (rearward of) the flutes, there's a dark ring. It encircles the case mouth. It looks like a carbon ring but now I'm wondering.
The gun works perfectly when fired - it's only when...
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. ...

Charting it out now...looks like a nice drive.

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).
How...

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...
