Well, I came here to learn… thanks guys, Exactly how do you do it? At what point do you stop removing fouling and start to remove filling? Are there compounds other than J&B that are as good or better?

I was shooting with two bench-rest guys and they said that total removal of the copper fouling exposed the imperfections in the barrel causing the accuracy to diminish. They also said they cleaned the “excess” fouling out with a non-imbedding compound like J&B and that resulted in a smoother...

Makes sense…I’ll give it a try in the next couple of days. Thanks!

Thank all you for your input. Special thanks to mdi for the link, because I found some neat stuff for my drill-mill-lathe. Do you think the 90 degree angle is too much?

Checklist anyone? Good pilots do it... shooters should too.

While I was flush mounting some screws today, I was wondering if any reloaders have ever used a countersink in a power screwdriver to remove the crimp from primer pockets. I was using a six fluted, 90 degree angle countersink. Will this do the job or would the angle need to be different?

That was the intent for machineguns, however, the ballistics of a tracer and standard ammo is quite different especially at longer ranges. This becomes acutely problematic in an aircraft that is moving and changing directions rapidly shooting at another aircraft that is also doing the same...

Exactly. I stopped saying "weapon" when I mustered out of the Corps in 1971 and started using the word "firearm" instead. Even hunters are better served by saying they "harvested a deer" rather than "killing a deer" which evokes the thought of violent men killing Bambi or his parents as the...

You should visit this site to see some pictures of some pretty catastrophic Glock kaBOOMS. You'll see model 19s, 21s, 30s, 36s, etc. A starting place: http://thegunzone.com/glock/greatest_hits.html The link is in the “Glock Talk” section of the “Gun Zone”. Glock Talk has numerous kaBOOMS...

This will be a knee-jerk response just like the AWB. With a much worse situation where 20 children and 7 adults were massacred and our legislators will feel pressure to do something; even if it's wrong they will do something. Our saving grace is if enough legislators are contacted with...

Not An NRA Member? Read This Again and Again... lykoris - "It is one thing as a European that has always puzzled me, so many gun owners and yet such an insignificant number are NRA members. Unless you support them you are all heading towards European style firearm laws...and believe me there...

I got my wake up call pre-Y2K I purchased: - 4 Bushmaster complete lowers @ $209/each direct from them using the club FFL - minimal shipping charge (UPS Ground) - 50,000 primers at gun shows @ $55/5000 ($60/5000 for 209s) - 2 cases of Win. 5.56FMJ-55gr bullets (~ 15,000) from Midway - free...

Except for some guns that I inherited, everyone that I bought had a purpose for either now or the near future. For example: The safari I planned to take in Africa is not going to happen, barring a lottery win, so the Weatherby .378 and .300 Magnums are of no use for where I’ll be hunting...

Whoa! Low road??? Look at the way you respond to people! If what he said is low road then your road is subterranean. One can disagree without being disagreeable. I’m guessing that you are full grown, now you just need to mature up. BTW, I don’t care what you like or dislike. You are just...
