I went to find my drill bit collar, but of course, it’s hiding right now. But if get something like this set and match the size to both end stems diameter. You could add a solid metal piece in...

Try using a drill bit extension coupling. It allows you to extend the length of a drill bit to drill a deeper hole. It’s a collar about 2 inches long with 2 set screws on each end. Just a quick...

NYFirefighter357,
The best hour of TV I’ve seen in a long time. And the first time I’ve ever heard of the “candle holder” for a bayonet. So all the way around I highly recommend everyone to...

I asked for a better photo of the same angle you and DJ are showing. I'm not driving back to Connecticut today. So we can get a better point of reference. Yours with the rounded bridge is like...

DJ,
Your right, the bridge on the one you have has a much more of a dome shape. Where, his is more square, squatter and not so tall.
I’ve never talked with my friend as much as I have...

Thank you, I'll pass both links on and see where it goes. I'm thinking we'll be going to a few gun shows also as they come up.

NYFirefighter357, thank you for the link. We searched through and believe it matches up to the M1855 Socket Bayonet. We are basing this on the US Stamp. This one has the same S style of lettering...

Sorry for the dark photo. The measurement is 0.7945 inches. We did contact the organizations suggested and are awaiting to hear back. Once identified he will start searching for a rifle.

A new clue revealed itself this morning. We thought it was rust but it turned out to be just crusted grime. A little light cleaning and a “US” stamp appeared on the blade. There are no other...

I’m in Rhode Island. He’s in Connecticut. But there is the Kentish Guard here locally we could check with. Great suggestion. Thanks.
Once identified the real work begins for him. Finding a...

I agree, it is a nice piece of history. It came out of nowhere two nights ago. He said he’s had it in the back of a closet for years. The screw and mount are fully functional like the day it was...

I was at a friends house and he pulled out a bayonet he said he's had for years. Passed down from his father. I never knew he even had an interest in this sort of weaponry.
He asked me if I knew...

Is it possible for you to tell us how “quiet” your new Hatsan 135 is? I’m looking at modifying an indoor range sound proofing. The old sound proofing has deteriorated which was a foam shaped like...

Like others here have said. I have mostly the ones that interest me or have the “how to” articles for the calibers I reload.
As it would happen, we went through the 100 year flood, “ that never...
I like my Urban Carry Holster. Designed for concealed carry but comfortable and very easy to get at. They have models for, I believe, most calibers. Check them out.

I don't know if you have seen the Lee .455 Webley die set. I hope these pictures can help you. Truth be told....I have not reloaded any of my .455 Webley casings with this set yet. But I have dry...

It came down to fit and finish of the plastic feed tray. And a bit more outside thickness to the walls of the feed tube. We're not talking much as it still has to fit the slot, but I guess the best...
Don't know if this is what you are referring to, but they might be. I think the yellowish box was white at one point in time, years ago.
