I recently acquired an Enfield No5 Mk1 "Jungle Carbine" suffering from a relatively mild case of bubbafication. In this case, the original sling loops had been removed (the back loop by bending off with a pair of pliers, ouch!) and quick-detach swivels added. I plan to return it to original...

I recently acquired a Norinco Model 98 shotgun, a clone of a Remington 870. Lots of home mods, one of which is a set of ghost ring sights. The problem is: the front sight blade is extremely loose in the dovetail base; I can push it back and forth with finger pressure. What's the best way to...

Does anyone out there reload the ancient and obscure .22 Savage High Power, known also as the 5.6x52R? A buddy of mine collects old (mostly pre WWI) guns, and picked one of these up at a show. Scandalized by the cost of factory ammo, he's asked if I'd be interested in loading him up some for...

I've an early XD40 which is showing rust on the upper edge of the slide, back of the rear sight and a few other places. I'm having a bit of trouble getting the rust out (don't want to damage the finish any further) and am considering using Evapo-Rust. Now, this stuff eats oxides, including...

Relax, it's not the thread you think it is. Yes, time and time again, we're advised not to use reloads for self defense, for two basic reasons: reliability and criminal prosecution. Let's avoid the question of reliability, that's purely personal. You trust your own work or you don't. But...

We recently moved into a bigger house, and I was able to secure some of the equity from the sale of the old house to purchase reloading gear. So far so good. Now my question: where to set up? The plan all along has been to set up in the attached garage. I have shop space there, two work...

My original question was pretty basic: is there any reloading software available for Linux? Doing some research revealed that "Reloading Software" encompasses a wide variety of functionalities, roughly categorizable into: databases for published & user load data, external ballistics...

I've a Springfield XD-40 4" which is my primary CCW pistol. However, it's beginning to show rust spots on the upper left corner of the slide, near the muzzle. Dosing with Blue Armadillo cleaning gel has removed the most obvious effects, but very close examination shows the spots still there...

A local range has started offering free, women-only gun safety courses. My wife attended the first one, and rather enjoyed it. Noteable was that the instructor (Erin Gerety, an NRA-certified/KS Ag certified firearms instructor) took the time to notify the local media. Lo and behold, a local...

I picked up a K31 at a gun show. The action and barrel are in pristine condition, and have obviously been well maintained. However.... Some previous owner PAINTED the stock. Removed the wood from the action, zip tied it together (I can see the bands where the zip ties masked the paint, nice...

I realize that this forum doesn't constitute legal advice, but words of experience and direction certainly abound here. My question: What counts as 'manufacturing a firearm' under BATFE regulations? My reason for asking is that I'd like to join the hordes who assemble their own rifles from...

OK, not drunken, but well-used and sporterized. What I have is a No. 4 MkI* Enfield. The wood has been 'sporterized', so there's no collector value. Not that I mind, I'd really just like to target shoot with it. The major defect is the chamber: it's worn past tolerances. Even with the largest...
