    Why does THR not have a section devoted to bullet casting? Should it?

    I frequent castboolits.com as well as this forum. Lots of good folk on there. And a virtual infinite wealth of info from simple lead ball casting to guys who machine their own custom molds on CNC machines. They pretty much showed me the ropes when I got my first .490 ball mold for my...

    W-W 45 acp broke my puller

    You mean there were factory rounds with bullets cast from WW alloy or Winchester White box? :D I shoot 100 round white box .45acp in my Glock 30 pretty much weekly and I have never noticed any sealant on the case necks or primers but I have never pulled one apart to see inside either. Was the...

    M1A question/s

    My bad I should have clarified the QD suppressor post I know you need a specialized flash hider to mount a QD suppressor. Outstanding on the muzzle adapter tho. That looks like the route I will take. Many thanks.

    No mag policy

    Deckard pretty much nailed it. The military has to idiot proof everything. Then again quite a few people join the military with little or NO firearms experience. And the DOD itself is fairly anti-gun in my opinion, especially with privately owned firearms in base housing. (One of many...

    M1A question/s

    So one of those QD suppressors would be the best route without having to remove the front sight? Awesome, thanks guys.

    Mosin-Nagant Bayonet

    Yeah good thing about those mosins with a bayonet. The overall length makes a pretty effective spear with some impressive reach. I dont know the arsenal though, never got to looking it up. Its in good shape for its age. My dad bought it back in the mid 80's as one of those "kit" rifles that...

    M1A question/s

    How is the muzzle brake/flash suppressor held on the Springfield armory M1A series? Threaded or pinned or what? I have been wanting one for years but I would like to mount a suppressor (sound suppressor not flash) Ive heard on the original military M14's something about the barrel threads not...

    Mosin-Nagant Bayonet

    Quick and easy. I have an Mosin M91 made in 1896. Will a newer bayonet made for the WWII era M91/30 fit an older M91? I found several M91/30 bayonets for sale for around 30 bucks but I havent found any correct bayonets for the M91. Not going for historical accuracy just something to hang on...

    Winchester 1897 Problem.

    Its the take down model. I have the AGI dvd on the '97 but its no help. Like I said, something has broken off inside the receiver and its impossible to close the bolt and its impossible to push the pump forward.

    Winchester 1897 Problem.

    I have an older Winchester 1987 shotgun that I received broken from a friend. And i am at my wits end on how to even disassemble this shotgun. I say wits end because the fore end is stuck in the rearward position and it is impossible to push forward into battery by hand. The bolt itself is...

    Stevens Model 300 magazine???

    Recently purchased a used stevens 300 in .22lr, with no magazine:banghead: it was 50 bucks so oh well. Will the 5 and 10 round mags for a Savage MKII fit it? It would be easier to spend $15 at wally mart for a MKII mag, I looked on on Savage website and they do not have any magazines for...

    Ballistic Duct Tape.

    hmm, I figured the bath tiles would be too brittle, but a friend of mine was issued a SAPI plate that had the corner chiped, believe it or not SAPI plates are pretty brittle, and the actual ceramic felt like the broken edge of a ceramic dinner plate. They are just coated with a polymer like...

    Ballistic Duct Tape.

    After watching the episode of mythbusters where they made a bridge out of Duct Tape, I had an idea for a crazy "what if" idea. Before I go any further, I want to say that this for educational purposes only. I WILL NOT use a duct tape vest as body armor, nor do I reccomend it to any one...

    H&R Pump Stock.

    Helping a co-worker build a HD shotgun from his factory stock H&R Pardner pump action with a 28'' bbl. Will remington 870 stocks and a foregrip fit a Pardner Pump? He wants an Advanced Technology top folder and they dont make stocks for the H&R pumps, all I have been able to find were made...
