    Value question on M38 mosin

    Yes I am aware of that. I bought a case (2 spam cans) years ago when I bought my 91/30 and still have quite a bit left. I usually run some wipes through it, then follow with a heavy ammonia Windex bath down the barrel and a good soaking of the bolt while it's out as well. Is this correct...

    Value question on M38 mosin

    Thank you all for your insight. Sounds like it's nothing special and as long as I take care of it, the value should stay. I think I'll take it out shooting sometime soon. I've got a 91/30 already and have a blast with it, I can't wait to try this one! Oh, and I picked up the M38 for $100! Sounds...

    Value question on M38 mosin

    Hi all, I just picked up a 1941 russian M38 for a KILLER deal, after seeing some prices I almost feel bad about how little I paid! It is in excellent shape. The guy I bought it from inherited it from a family member and he doesn't have much interest in guns. He told me he has never shot it, I...

    home built gun on an AR lower

    Haha thanks guys. Funny you mention the 50, as I am currently in the design process for a bolt action 50, but probably wont get to that for a few years and I'll make my own lower for it. I was just thinking something simple to play around with and wanted to see some of the odd things people have...

    home built gun on an AR lower

    I have a few AR lowers and the urge to build my own gun. I already have 2 AR's, one a 5.56 rifle and the other a 300blk pistol. I have access to a lathe and mill and would like to build a custom gun on one of the lowers. I am curious to hear what you guys have seen built on an ar lower. I am...

    Buttpad Blanks?

    Thanks guys, I may get ahold of both of them. I was looking at the Kick-Eez as well but didn't find anything big enough either. I also looked on ebay for sorbothane sheets but the thickest I could find was .75", I would like something a little thicker than that. Thanks again!

    Buttpad Blanks?

    I am in the process of designing my own 50bmg and am having trouble finding a buttpad that will fit. With my receiver tube being 2.25" diameter outside, that means my buttplate is 2.25" wide. The widest buttpad I have found is the Limbsaver large grind-to-fit at 2.06 wide. So I guess what I am...

    How to choose Brinell hardness on a cast bullet

    Thank you everyone for the replies. Since I am lucky enough to live very close to Powder Valley, I will be ordering through them along with some other supplies. They do not stock the coated version of the 200 grain LSWC so I will probably be trying the standard 12 Brinell lead version. Oh and...

    How to choose Brinell hardness on a cast bullet

    I read that and linked to it in my post. Neither of my reloading manuals show CUPS for W231

    How to choose Brinell hardness on a cast bullet

    I am ready to start reloading for the 1911 as I am almost out of my stash of factory ammo. I have reloaded quite a few plated Berry's bullets for the 9mm and 380 but have never used just plain cast bullets before, so this is a learning curve for me. I think I have decided on the 200 grain LSWC...

    handguard/gas block combination

    The new pencil barrel doesnt have a front sight on it. I would cut it if it had one though. Thanks for the link to the daniel defense block though. That looks like it might even work better than the vltor because the screw heads are much smaller

    handguard/gas block combination

    Not sure if this is the right place or not. Feel free to move if not. I think I may have pulled the trigger a little to early when I bought my pencil barrel. I didnt realize the diameter at the gas block is .625 rather than the standard .750. Anyways, I am looking to upgrade the handguard at...

    Free float handguard for the ar-15

    Thanks esheato, I'll check into those brands. I have looked at a few carbon fiber tubes but the ones I did look at all have to be epoxied to the barrel nut and I'm not sure how much I like the idea of that. Maybe I'm worried about nothing though.

    Free float handguard for the ar-15

    I'm looking for a lightweight free float handguard for my ar15 for a reasonable cost, say under 100 bones. I dont want anything fancy, basically just a tube that is as light as possible. I like the look of the hogue's but they seem a little heavy at 14 oz for the rifle length. Anyone have any...

    Feinstein is lying

    Thanks for the link. I didn't have an account for that but I sure took the time to make one for that petition! Anyways, here is a link to the full 60 minutes video (about 13 minutes long) that has feinstein's quote in it from the second half of the video posted above. Its around the 3:00 mark...

    What would your "buyback" gun or guns be?

    Send me your location, I'll be standing in the sidelines with some cash. If someones stupid enough to turn in an AR for 200 in this market, I'll gladly offer them $300

    Drop down hidden gun shelves?

    I'm always open to ideas. Do you know of something faster that is still fairly secure and hidden in plain sight?

    Drop down hidden gun shelves?

    Yeah I've found some magnetic locks for kitchen cabinets but they all look like cheap plastic. I cant seem to find something like those that are heavy duty like shown in the video

    Drop down hidden gun shelves?

    I wouldn't even mind building one like it as I do have woodworking experience but I cant figure out what those latches are called.

    Drop down hidden gun shelves?

    Hey guys, just doing a little surfing of the web tonight and came across Lightning Accent Decor's drop down shelf. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UTT1TO07-Ts I really like the idea of it but it seems they are no longer in business. Does anyone know of anything similar? Thanks
