Found a pistol mount for a 3/8" dovetail by searching for pistols that use a 3/8" dovetail. Note that most sites do not list dovetail dimensions but only those pistols their mount will fit. Turns out that a Springfield Armory compact 1911 has a 3/8" dovetail. Got a mount & it is now...

My old Winchester rifle has a rear sight dovetail cut measuring 3/8" across the bottom of the cut. I am looking for a mount for a Holosun red dot to fit in this dovetail. I cannot seem to find any rear sight charts with dovetails to match up with my rifle. Any wizards with knowledge of where I...

Fun Gun? FUN? This is a FUN gun: Winchester slide action .22 rimfire. Short, Long or Long rifle. Frequently used in carnival gallery shooting. Another design by John Moses Browning. This model of 1906 was made in 1919 and still is a great plinker and tin can perforator. Fun it is!

When I did the barrel of my 1906 Winchester, I used the original bulged and ringed barrel as a test mule with a new Brownells drill bit. This was done on a friends lath. We experienced with the first bulged barrel, the new sharp drill would dig in and jam even when the feed was very slow as we...

I've used the liquid Oxpho Blue with great results. Substrates were carefully degreased and heated to about 150 degrees. I applied it with a cotton ball or Q tips on small areas. As noted above, prep work, prep work and more prep work.

Bradley; I have a single line Dembart checkering tool with one spare cutter that I tried once with poor results. I'll ship it to you for the cost of shipping, about $10.00. Roger

.45 Colt; The oak plank has two (and soon to be three) empty .22 LR ammo boxes for Short, Long & Long Rifle. The label is: Winchester model of 1906 .22 Rimfire short, long & long rifle Built early 1919 in New Haven Connecticut One of many firearms designed by John Moses Browning These...

The finishing touches are finally here. I installed a Marbles tang sight on the resurrected '06 Winchester. It now has new wood, a new re lined barrel, a few new parts and many hours of cleaning etc. The tang sight was purchased for it's aperture function with older eyes (helps to focus on front...

After over 50 years of reloading, competition and a lot of just plain plinking, the only CF primers I have had problems with are the ones from Argentina. Very hard to begin with and with about a 1/2 of one % ~ 1% true failure. As far as rimfire duds, very few and those with low cost ammo...

After trying many different brands of cold blue chemicals with generally poor results, I tried Brownell's Oxpho Blue. It is almost as good as a quality hot tank blue. I clean the metal using 600 wet / dry paper with some detergent in the water. This gives me a very nice clean and mostly...

MachIV; The original barrel of my rifle was both ringed and bulged. Ring was three inches in front of chamber, the bulge about a half inch past the ring. Thus the original barrel was beyond re-lining. I found a used barrel on ebay and re-lined it. I paid a professional to install and index the...

Here's some photos of the pistol:

Thank you Jim; By its serial # 10039xx it was made 1942 ~1943, probably closer to '42. No markings on the non parkerized barrel, All markings clear and clean with parking in them. Frame rails barely worn with about 70% of parking still there in wear areas. Found out that her dad also flew...

The action and barrel are off at a local (fellow club member) gunsmith to be screwed together, indexed & chambered. The finishing of the buttstock proceeds slowly, now up to 17 applications of Minwax Antique oil finish with 0000 steel wool between applications. I'm on the final stretch of that...

Mi companion, (a serious national level rifle competitor) brought me a 1911 that was her father's. He was a military pilot & flew C46s "over the hump' before flying for American Airlines. She brought me his 1911 which had been in his safe for well over 50 years. It is a Remington Rand...

Film4995; The foregrip was broken in half lengthwise, both butt and foregrip were deeply gouged and dented with black stains in the dented areas. With a lot of work, they could have been brought back to poor condition. However, I really enjoy working with nice wood so I chose to replace them...
