    Idiot Warnings on Guns. Law?

    Having removable stickers would be great until the original owner sold the gun then the new owner could sue the manufacture for any mishap. It will only be a matter of time before the warnings have to be in other languages as well as English, their won't be a spot on the gun without a warning.

    I travel a lot and make it a point to check out gun shops in the locals I visit, I have found a lot of shops that don't carry the black rifles, its usually because of the clientèle, they don't ask for them so they put their money into what sells.

    How much should it cost.

    I don't like people doing the prep work for me, it usually makes more work for me. They don't have the training to polish the metal without damaging sharp edges and elongating the screw holes, they usually polish the action with a buffing wheel and leave groves in the flats. Send the gun to the...

    What ever happened to Cryo treated barrels?

    I think the problem with cryo was misinformation about what it was for and how it was done. Cryo treatment stress relives the barrel, this is beneficial if you shoot rapid fire, you don't have stringing of the groups. If you shot slower it will have less of an effect. If the barrel shot bad...

    How much should it cost.

    danthegunman is on the money, more prep work and type of finish makes all the difference in cost, usually a matt finish is cheaper. I have one I had parkerized which came out very nice, it cost about the same. now I found the material from Brownell's I can do it myself.

    "Decommissioned, replica, or airguns" being converted into "real" guns?

    A few years ago I bought a bunch of lamps made from Enfields that had been imported as demilled rifles, The barrels were drilled through the chamber area and a steel rod welded in. I pulled the barrels and heat treated the actions then built a bunch of guns out of them,

    Army tests full-body exoskeleton - how much gun do you think this thing can carry?

    The problem as I see it is the development of technology that will take out the pain and suffering and there fore the fear of war. Once this happens the world won't be safer but more dangerous. New weapons will be more lethal to humans , both combatants and civilians, and or more debilitating...

    Unknown Gun w/ pics

    Post pictures of the proof marks and names on the gun to make it easer to identify. You can usually tell if a screw is not original to the gun by how the slot in the head of the screw is orientated, Guns of that quality will have all the screw heads facing the same direction. Any engraving on...
