I seriously doubt that pierced primers would cause that condition, no matter what anyone says. The repair is a very nice job and well done, but...
There used to be a big one with a net about 2' by 2', but I don't see that kind any more. Still, there are plenty that look good (not always the...
One trap to be wary of. Remember that BATFE is a FEDERAL agency and is concerned ONLY with FEDERAL law and regulations. So you can ask a BATFE...
I have often heard, and have repeated, that it is potentially dangerous to fire .38 Special in an S&W of that era originally made for the British...
Jim Watson has a good point. What else would have a barrel like that? Doing some more thinking and some research, I have no doubt that the gun...
Very often firing pin bushings are intended to be a permanent assembly, so much so that some parts diagrams don't even show them as a separate...
Some confusion here with "end shake", barrel/cylinder gap, and cylinder clearance at either or both ends. Not the same things, though often...
Since I am long retired, I will 'fess up" on screwdrivers. Rather than buy (and invariably break) expensive hollow ground bits, I just bought...
Boom Boom, your mainspring is not the original. The extra stiff mainspring came with the D-T trigger because, as I noted above, the rifle would...
IIRC, the early hammers were color case hardened, the later ones were like the '94, bright on the sides and blued on the top. Jim
Sometimes I wonder how/when some of those stories get started. I have seen some CW trenches and none had enough room for a full length rammer to...
All high quality guns are at least proof tested at the factory; some are function fired with a cylinder or magazine of ammo. At one time,...
If you do try to repair that barrel, use heat paste in the interior of the barrel as well; the barrel will get hot enough to ruin the smooth...
I don't know of any Mauser 98 that is cock on closing. But the Turks worked over and "updated" so many rifles that the original rifle could be...
"If it ain't broke...." I agree, but have to defend the Dremel tool. They are great tools if (IF) you know how and especially when (and when...
Making a new gas block is not exactly rocket science, but will not usually be in reach of the average home hobbyist,so will not be cheap. If you...
The figures for the 18 inch test barrel and the 18.5" carbine barrel show far more discrepancy than can be accounted for by the normal...
Odd! When the .38 S&W is used in an S&W breaktop, a lot of folks call it weak, and near useless,only good for frightening small rabbits. But...
When a school shooting happens, one of the first suggestions, often as an alternative to gun ban proposals, is to allow teachers or other...
I can (will) get an argument, but IMHO for carry a DAO revolver like that M&P is a pretty good choice. With a little practice, it is easy to hit...
Separate names with a comma.
