I invested in a Lansky kit a few years ago. I think it's a testament to the original design that it can give good results despite the best efforts of Lansky to ruin the product. Given a lot of time and attention I could get things scary sharp but with the exception of the stones themselves...

That's a huge range of countries, I'm not sure where you could get actual legal advice for such a broad question, there is a wikipedia article covering many countries but as always take with a pinch of salt. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Knife_legislation Even specific articles on the topic like...

A little more sanity around this would be welcome. I used to sit next to a guy who shot Palma in UK and at the time many european shooters were apparently faced with having to pay 3x as much as previously to get barrels because the main suppliers in the US had been kneecapped with export...

This reads like an accidental version of the highpoint torture tests that iraqveteran8888 has on his youtube channel. I seem to remember that they managed to kill the thing eventually by repeatedly doing stuff like hammering a bolt into the end of the barrel and shooting proof loads down it, but...

You probably just want to get your outrage panties in a bunch rather than an actual answer, but just in case anyone else is interested - carrying a knife and hanging around in gangs of knife-carrying outlaws tends to get people in situations where they get stabbed, or stab other people, or both...

It's in the southern more densely (lol) populated part of the country where there have been people schlepping stuff over the landscape for thousands of years, and in some places the landscape tends to naturally funnel peoples movements along ridgeways, passes or as in this case along narrow...

I got one of those Lansky kits and was honestly kind of shocked by it. The actual stones themselves seem pretty decent but every other part of the kit was the cheapest of garbage. Flimsy wibbly rods, weak thumbscrews that wont stay tight, blade clamp that wouldnt work without the addition of...

Well gosh, with a welcome mat like that laid out for them I simply can't fathom why young people aren't stampeding to hunting camps to learn the wisdom of their elders. Maybe they manage to get enough time with bitter old men at work?

Can't really comment on the rest of their business practices, but it's common that ordering in stock to sit on the shelf for that take-it-home-now feeling is costly relative to basically ordering it making a website order on behalf of the customer. Living in a small town, I've come to accept...

I was once chatting to an old geezer who claimed he tried shooting cast lead (out of a webley?) at golf balls, but stopped after he hit one almost perfectly causing the bullet to richochet back past one ear followed momentarily by the golf ball passing the other ear at impressive speed after...

Sure you're not confusing it with the CAL? Nothing wrong with the FNC that I am aware of. The sequencing went FAL->CAL->FNC->SCAR, and it wouldn't surprise me if the FNC sold more than the SCAR currently has.

The use of fahrenheit indicates the discussion relates to the USA, also known as the Transcendent Empire of Lawyeristan - so apply a little critical thinking here. Are glocks festooned with product safety warnings indicating they are not safe for use at temperatures likely to be encountered by...

The infamous Kimball? http://www.thefirearmblog.com/blog/2012/06/28/kimball-30-caliber-carbine-auto-pistol/ :what:

I thought the 66 had a steel sear? So shouldn't your question be "Steel Meets Polymer - What Happens When The Steel Wears Out?":confused:

I don't know for sure either, but given the number of private companies in the US who seem to have the specs, they either have them or a good-enough equivalent. A quick search didn't turn up official spec documents, but if you want to make a 1911 this looks good enough (warning! huge file!)...
