    New mill arrived

    Looks like a old Bridgeport with accessory digital readout encoders... or one of the several clones. Getting an oldie to make good parts again usually requires "scrapeing the ways", a likely lost art by now. I've moved more than one of these and more than once... they are HEAVY... and worse a...

    pump action paradox

    I believe that the Timberwolf was briefly available with a metal "skeleton" stock... I seem to remember seeing one in a catalog once. At one time a company in South Africa was developing a pump 12 ga shotgun that was detachable magazine fed and had the general form factor of an UZI with a...

    SW 4516S Trigger Issue

    Thanks, both of you for your responses ... I did clean it (bbl and chamber) before shooting it, but did not do the whole thing... Project for this evening.

    SW 4516S Trigger Issue

    I was given one of these (lightly used) as a gift several years ago and it sat in the safe. Several weeks ago, I took it to the range along with some other pistols I own. While I expected the trigger pull in DA mode to be long and difficult, I was astonished at the trigger pull in SA mode...

    Nationwide Mail in to Obama and others..

    I'm not supporting this guy's website or business since I have no personal experience with it... however, the "Don't Tread On Me" Campaign he advocates may be something you may want to consider. It's "different". http://www.frontsight.com/Dont-Tread-On-Me.asp

    Is an autosear the only thing needed to convert to full auto?

    I watched that show....As soon as I saw the opening scene in a gun shop I thought..." OK, lets see how they trash gun ownership"... BTW... as previously posted an "autosear" is a screenwriter's fantasy. Actually all the CSI shows are starting to annoy me... Real CSIs don't...

    Mini-14 aftermarket mags

    Re: "So why complain about the price of a good mag "... not really complaining, more of a grumble. If it does not work 100%, no matter what the price, you paid too much. What really got me about the Triple Ks... If I was trying to make a part that had to work with one made by another...

    New Member? Introduce yourself here (just intros, questions get answered elsewhere)

    Just found this thread.. I recently joined after having this site pop up in searches for info several times. I'm an involuntarily "retired" engineer, said retirement being precipitated by my job getting sent overseas ( Israel). With a BSEE degree and two patents, I'm wondering what kind of...

    How to prevent the police from seizing your guns?

    A word of caution... I live in NJ... Some years ago, in the middle of my divorce, my soon to be ex wife ( with prompting from her attny) filed totally false assault charges against me in order to prevent me from moving back into our home (which I bought!). I got the charges dismissed within a...

    Mini-14 aftermarket mags

    I just received delivery of some Ruger Factory 10 rnd Mini 14 mags. Not cheap, however... the Triple Ks I got would not even fit in the gun. A side by side comparison is "educational" to say the least.

    Shooting .223 in a 5.56 rifle

    I hate to have my first post on this forum to be a disagreement, however: Re: "Mini-14's have always been 5.56 chambers" Should read "Mini-14's made since 1986 have 5.56 chambers"
