I did a search, couldn't find much. Seems like most bolt handles are TIG welded when they are cut or customized. I don't have a TIG ($$$), but I do have a MIG. If you were to properly use heat sinks, both pastes and plugs, could you use a MIG? If you welded a tack, let it cool, weld, cool...

Maybe I'm a little crazy, maybe I'm rationalizing, but I am seriously considering trading my very accurate Winchester 30-06 for a newer compact 308. I want to stay with a bolt, I don't hunt anymore, and would like a more compact lightweight rifle. the '06 is a Winchester 70 Ranger, very basic...

I have a Stainless Colt LWT Commander (XSE) on order and it has been on order since mid January. The shop doesn't seem to have a clue when one might come in, and this is a fairly large shop, with 2-300 long guns on display and probably 100 handguns in the case. I don't know if Colt's demand is...

A local store started carrying 5.11 gear and clothing, so I stopped by to check it out. I thought they had some good looking stuff in their catalog, surely I could find something I couldn't live without. Well, they definitely had some cool stuff, didn't quite have the cash for what I wanted...

I just bought 2 P-Mags with windows new in the package at a gun show this weekend, got a smokin' deal on them, $10 each. When I paid, the dealer said he was glad to see them go as they were junk. I was surprised to say the least. He went on to say that the bottoms will fall out of them if...

I'm sure at one time or another, we have all been "muzzle swept" at a the LGS, either my employees or customers, usually with an unloaded gun, but this one was different. Was at the shop Saturday with my daughter, picking up some cleaning supplies, etc. The shop was busy and everybody was...

Getting ready to pull the trigger on a Dillon RL 550B. I plan on getting the machine, extra tool heads, caliber conversions, roller handle, and powder dies. My question is-do I really need the Strongmount? The top of my bench is 42 1/2" from the floor. I currently have a Rockchucker mounted...

Is anyone making different grips for the LCR, specifically wood boot grips? I really like this piece, but don't like how the factory rubber tends to cling to my shirts and/or jacket. I would think there would be a good sized market for something like this by now.

An old friend (in his 90's!) wants to get his old shotgun shooting again. Somewhere along the line, someone disassembled the bolt and it looks to me like a piece is missing. The firing pin is no longer restrained in the bolt body. It looks like a set screw or a pin is missing. Does anybody...

The mags for the M45 aren't the easiest things in the world to find and when you do find them, they are a bit pricey. Has anyone heard of modifying a 1911 mag to make it work? Holding them side by side, they look similar. The notches in the mags are in a different place, but I feel I can...

I'm getting back into the hobby after a 15yr hiatus. This time, I'm starting out with a used, but in very good condition, Lyman 55 powder measure. I started to work up some 9mm loads. It seemed to take a LONG time to get the measure set where I wanted it, where it would throw a consistent...

How can I tell if an assembled lower was put together with a National Match trigger? I'm thinking of building my own AR, looking at both complete and stripped lowers, but want the match trigger either way. Any advise would be appreciated!
