I routinely work with new aluminum alloys in the aerospace industry. So, just for fun, I'm considering getting a small piece of one or two such alloys for a unique build. Does anyone know of an AR-15 lower manufacturer / machine shop that will make lowers from customer supplied material?

I’ve seen a number of posts recently asking about the differences between investment casting and forging, so I typed up the following summary of investment casting and forging processes, and the structural differences between each for reference. I did not create any of the pictures, only the...

It's coming up here in a month, so thought I'd sniff around a little. Any other THR members going (maybe even staffing the rifle or shotgun ranges)? I'll be on staff at QBSA, so drop by and say hi if you happen to be going - would be nice to meet some of the THR crew :cool:

I was looking through the revolver picture thread and spotted a couple grips that I liked. Anyone know where I might be able to find rounded grips like these (below) for a GP100? Midway didn't seem to have anything like that...

Just spotted this and figured I'd send out a heads up for anyone in the area. It could be interesting: http://www.theithacajournal.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20080912/ENTERTAINMENT08/809120314

Well, looks like I'll be moving from NC to the DFW area (new job is in Hurst) in a couple months, and would like some gun-related information for the state/area if anyone is from around there: - What are the good gun stores in the area? - Are there any good pistol and/or rifle ranges around...

Does the Colt Goverment Pocketlite use the same holster as any other Colt Pistols (Pony, Mustang?)? A friend of mine is having trouble finding any for this particular gun.

This may have been discussed already, but following Heller, I'm now curious as to whether the age requirement of 21 to purchase a handgun is valid, or can be challenged. Since we all now have the right to own a handgun in the home, would depriving 18-20 year-old American citizens of that...

http://www.insidebayarea.com/oaklandtribune/ci_9344423 The obvious is spelled out so plainly for the antis, but they still blame it on lack of gun control. People in the article admit that you buy guns on the street, not stores. :barf: Red text / bold added by me. Wonderful article...

I've never owned a shotgun, and have only fired them a couple times, but I'm looking to purchase a Saiga sometime in the near future, and primarily have some questions about ammunition use (and the stickies didn't quite have all the info I'm looking for): If I were to purchase a shotgun...

This is just out of curiosity - what all is involved in converting a 9mm 1911 to 38 super? Is it just a barrel change?

Does anyone know of a reliable gunsmith that I could send a slide to for dovetailing and maybe serrations? I'm not looking for top notch work, just something that's decent and has a turnaround time of no more than 1-2 months.

You guys remember that photo of Nagin playing with the gun? http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,330722,00.html Just got a kick out of this :p

Just had another catalog arrive in the mail today from CDNN. The handgun section of the 2007-7 catalog (with prices, of course) is now scanned and ready for viewing: 2007-7 CDNN Catalog Scan (~20 MB) For those unfamiliar with why I scan the catalog: A while back, CDNN chose to omit the...

Where can I find one of these?

A perfect example: http://wral.com/news/local/story/2086533/ Summary: Woman calls 911 to report house being robbed, deputy arrives to find her and their dog dead. We'll probably never know how this went down to learn lessons from it, but it just goes to reiterate how important it is to...

I recall seeing a few months ago an accessory for the P3AT which clips or mounts to the front half of the gun, making it very squarish or rectangular in appearance (to change how it prints in the pocket IIRC). Does anyone know what the name of this is, and where I might find them?

Sorry for the delay - got the catalog a couple weeks ago, set it aside, and forgot about it. Thanks to KONY for the reminder ;) Here are the handgun prices for the 2007-6 catalog: http://blueridgearmory.com/cdnn.pdf

I'm headed down to Darlington (SC) for an interview tomorrow, and just wondering if there happen to be any gun stores around worth taking a look at while I'm there. Any suggestions?
