I don’t use credit cards so the rental services are a no go for me.

It might not be the right place to post so I apologize. I need to borrow or rent an 11 degree crown cutter and 44 caliber pilot. I can’t afford to buy one for a one time use. Will
Forum: Special Projects
Does anyone have a Krag reamer I could borrow? I had an idiotic moment and put a ding on the end of a brand new barrel. Needless to say, it was just enough to make a round not seat in the chamber...

Both good ideas. I hadn't thought about the corrosive primers. I don't really plan on shooting them. Just more cool stuff to horde.

I scored these last night. A woman brought these to my work for us to dispose of. I am a police officer and people find old ammo occasionally in attics and barns and don't know what to do with it. ...

I scored a 20 inch walnut log and crotch two months ago. I have to have my guy cut them up but unfortunately it will be 3-4 years before I can turn them into wood chips. I've got some nice cherry...

I did email tigerhunt and he has some wide ones available.
I will definetly post the build here when I'm done. It might even be done before this years dove season, but that is a big "might".

I am currently building a double barrel 16 gauge flintlock and ran into trouble trying to find blanks that were wide enough (3"at least). I lucked up and bought one from a member over on American...

I purchased a nice set of Damascus LC Smith 12 gauge barrels with perfect bores from a fellow online. Long story short, they are slightly bent (which was not disclosed in the sale of course). They...

We used to shoot a golf ball cannon that size. It will shoot "D" cell batteries nicely. We shot across a field that was about 800 yards to the woods. Those batteries would splinter good size limbs...

I have rust blued plenty of parts but now have a barreled receiver that needs rusting/boiling. What is the best way to protect the bore/chamber? Rubber plugs, wood dowels (seems like a recipe for...

The rifle was already shortened "sporterized" so I'm not worried about devaluing the piece. The current barrel has a dark bore with moderate pitting but decent rifling. Accuracy has always been MODA...

I'm sticking with the 6.5x55...I love that round! Midway did offer one but it was discontinued. I have noticed Midway has discontinued a lot of stuff

I am looking to rebarrel a Swedish Mauser with a new barrel. I see that Brownells offers a short chambered barrel for a 98 Mauser. Will this one fit a 96 Swedish Mauser action?

Thanks all. The barrels are knew from Numrich so the chambers are fine.
Forum: Case Forming / Re-forming
I've never done fire forming before. I'll have to research that and try it. I am hesitant because I don't want to damage a chamber, but with two Krags to feed and no brass available (read affordable)...

I tried a few 303 brass, running them through the 30-40 sizing die but they don't look quite right. I knew the neck would be a little short but the shoulder geometry looks different between a resized...
