One thing in the article is definitely true--proponents for/against gun laws cherry pick statistics. Like bloomberg counting gangbangers under 21 as "children killed by guns". Just as bad as the...

As an electrical inspector, I used to get invited to the yearly dinners/seminars put on by the local power company. One time they were going on about a study showing greater cancer rates among people...

I always wondered how the BSA .22 target ejectors worked--they would fire the empties back 10 feet!

Hard to tell direction, but if you drill the reinforcing hole, pour epoxy into the hole, then insert the all thread while twisting, so excess epoxy oozes out, and air bubbles are forced out. Cut a...

Yes it takes lots of trial and error. I did some CCH with a pottery kiln, years ago. A Stevens Favorite came out right after two tries, but the pipe I used for airtight container developed a hairline...

You can try using a bullet and valve grinding compound on a long 1/4" rod on a battery drill. Might relieve the throat enough. Roll the bullet ogive in the compound on a flat plate to impregnate the...

Sounds about right to me--tight is good in many things........check the headspace to be sure. We can't have two xs headspaces here! I used a Garand barrel from them, and it was also a tight fit, but...

That Dremel tool I have with the battery pack that can be replaced with LI-ion AAs, is marked Dremel Mighty-mite USA, but in fine print, Assembled in Mexico. Another 100 jobs gone! BTW, you have to...

Oops, I thought it was a super marblecake walnut stock there, now I see it!

I fill cracks and nicks in finished stocks with a drop of super glue, and drop a pinch of walnut sawdust on it--quickly! Shave any excess off with a scalpel.

The last gunshow I went to, I brought my accurized M1, to sell, because my right eye has a cataract, and if I fire sitting Rapid, I need a come along to get up. OMG, all I heard was "that's not the...

What, you paid more than $50 for a Carcano?? I put a rear sight on one for a friend, and it was the worst *** that I ever saw. He comes back, asks if I could do a scope mount, I said NO!

One of the worst show is Mountain Men. I watched one episode last year that had some old guy "chasing mountain lions away from the beef herd" with some dogs, and he was whining about his dogs being...

Does anybody know if a .357 Rossi could be redone in .357 Max?? Although, with cast, paper patching would have to be used with the extra speed. I have a Win Low Wall that I chambered for .357 Max,...

Hardness of the wood varies greatly. If you spread out the area of the recoil lug contact with an aluminum block shaped dovetailish, so that the back of the block is wider, and deeper than the recoil...

But it will only straighten if it WANTS to straighten!:mrgreen:

I would cut 2 V blocks out of maple(or if you have real steel v blocks, use them), put the shaft between them, roll it around to the high spot in the middle, and whack it gently with a plastic...

I found the Lyman Gould HP bullets to blow up on impact at 1800fps, so I reduced the size of the HP pin, by running a fine file against it with a drill press spinning the pin. HP is now only 1/8"...

I polished my Marlin hammer, and bottom of the bolt with 2000 grit auto paper, and rubbed on some moly grease. Also polished the nose of the lever, and used moly grease--very smooth, just be stingy...

I use a Lee 405 gr hollow base mold, run thru a .452" sizer, with some liquid alox, then patch with 8 oz onionskin. After drying, I rub with liquid alox for waterproofing, and brush on moly powder,...

Well, I was hoping to get something like $.40/lb, but I'll put some more posts on. Hopefully more educational than this.

Thanks for the price update! I just retired from reviewing construction documents and finding lots of Weasel Wording in the fine print. Almost forgot I used to visit here--old computer died--hate the...

I've got about 150 lbs of plumbers scrap that I cast into two garden tractor wheel weights, as well as a complete slug of lino, like 35 lbs, and my existing batch of lyman ingots will cast enough 405...

One evil thought I had for my .410 defense loads was to see how many #12 solid copper 1 1/4" long scrap wires could be stacked in a plastic cup wad. I made some loads for my .357 revolver I called...

I was in a gun club, and helped organize a sight=in day before deer season. $5 range fee, you get two targets 50 and 100 yds. Great turnout! Next meeting, I was expecting a pat on the back, and was...
