    Other uses for brass? Arts and crafts?

    I used a 44 mag case with the rim filed off as an end to a half inch wooden dowel that I use as a range rod for my front stuffer. On the same gun I use a 38 case epoxied onto a fiberglass fish arrow for my under barrel ramrod. In high school shop class we had a foundry and used to collect cases...

    30-06... Looking for Recommendations

    It would be a toss up between Ruger, Winchester, and Remington, and also Savage. You cannot break a Ruger, The Winchester has the nicest adjustable trigger, and Remingtons are smooth. The Savage cannot be beat for reliablility and cost. Iknow savage has that Accutrigger thingy, but I cannot...

    get home bag pistol

    For a cheap but reliable gun, I second the highpoint. Uglier than a glock but reliable. Also the Toks are a good Idea, I never really thought of them. Or I would go with something like a GP-100. I always look in the used gun section when I visit my LGS. You never know what you may find.

    Model 70 two piece bolt issues?

    I just looked at my model 70 which was made sometime in 1977, and the bolt is one piece. There is no two pieces on the bolt body. I have no idea where the writer got his information. I would think that if you were slinging the bolt hard enough to separate a swaged two piece, that you would...

    2nd Amendment lost in CT today

    Yes this one will end up in SCOTUS. What the judge in this court forgot was that the "assault weapons" that the CT law banned are weapons that are in common use. so this one will end up o their desk eventually.

    How to deal with anti-gun parents?

    I have heard it said that all it takes to turn an anti-gun person into a pro-gun person is a mugging. I am thankful my folks are on the pro side of things (and republican) I honestly do not know how I would deal with this if it were me, other than not visiting....

    This is what happens when you try to make your own firing pin.

    A guy I worked with made a firing pin from a finishing nail for his Winchester model 12 and it worked fine for years. Bear in mind he is an aircraft mechanic and is mechnicaly inclined.

    How many of you carry reloads in your SD guns?

    Currently I have factory Winchester silvertips in my 357 nightstand gun and have Hornandy critical defence rounds in my 9mm. The silvertips I have had for years and I got the critical defence round cheap. That being said I would have no problem carrying reload in a defence gun. in doing a...

    Legal Ownership and Straw Purchases: SCOTUS

    The latest that I read from Yahoo (take that for what its worth) was that the glock was purchased in Virginia by the by the ex-cop then driven to Pennsilvania and transferred through an FFl there. I would think that, that would make the original purchaser the legal purchaser at the point of...

    45-70

    Normaly I use 300 grain HP's out of my guide gun but if I need to go heavier I have some lazercast 430gr. slugs from Oregon trail bullets. one nice thing about a 45/70 on deer is that they don't go very far....

    A muzzleloader that wouldn't fire...

    I did not have to pull a patched ball but I did have to pull a maxi-ball. Mistakenly used powder that had been sitting in an unsealed powder horn for a few years. A cap would not ignite it. I had made my own ramrod from a fiberglass fish arrow so breakage was not an issue. It still took me about...

    Self Defense Insurance??

    The problem with the insurance for permit holders as I see it, is that sooner or later someone like Feinstine or Pelosi is going to say that in order to have a permit to carry, you now are required to have insurance ala obamacare. And here is the rub with insurance...if it is a good shoot, you...

    A Bad Winchester 70?

    I have one my dad bought me for Christmas when I was 16. I did not get to shoot it much between then and now, but as I was tuning up for my first elk hunt I decided to use it. Its a M70 XTR in 30.06. I found that if I do my part this gun will put 5 190gr. Berger VLD's into 3 inches at 500 yards...

    Help ID Large Grips

    It looks like a custom set made for a single action. My guess would be ruger.

    9.3x62 barrel/98 mauser

    You might want to check out Shilen barrels. they are about the same price as pac-nor but have been around longer. also they are less expensive than Lothar-walther. I would go with a heavy sporter weight barrel for a 9.3mm. I know they sell finished barrels and barrel blanks.

    What caliber to build? Savage Short action.

    My vote would be a heavy barrel in 6 norma BR. twisted for heavy bullets. with a heavy gun there is almost no recoil, and this has been a mainstay round with bench rest shooters for a long time. It is however a handloaders cartridge.

    Star----Line Brass?

    I have found that star line brass is a bit tight when first loading. I use their 38 and 357 brass, and I think it is a little thicker brass than most. It is good brass though. I don't think you will have any pressure problems.

    Cold Steel: Hyperbole vs. Reality

    I bought some cold steel knives years ago and loved them. I still have a couple of the discontinued LTC kukri knives in their carbon 5 steel. I think that cold steel quality has declined a great deal these last few years. I don't like some of the re-styling they have done to their pocket knives...
