Jim has a good point. Your warranty will likely be void.... My experience with Taurus warranty center has not been good. Your options are finding a skilled local gunsmith to have a look at it for you....or call Taurus and ship it back to them. I'd suggest the latter....get it back...

Learn to live with a black extractor in it. Rc speaks the truth. No need to handicap yourself by using stainless. A quality carbon steel extractor will last much longer and perform better.

I find that if you apply pressure to the right side of the slide stop pin and then slowly shove the slide to the rear it will find it's exit notch. It isn't very far. Approximately 3/8 inch. Biggest mistake most make when tearing down the P89 is not pushing the ejector down fully. Once the...

I am quite taken by the old truck. Nice rig. Love to see them out running around. Like a living reminder of a better time.

My grandmother used to encourage this kind of thing. She used buy us things as kids that would then encourage us to get something else. Or more likely would open the door for a birthday present later. I have used this to some degree myself. I've collected parts, accessories and brass for...

Quite correct martensitic is the addition of carbon Austenitic is stainless that has a far lesser carbon content but a higher Chromium and Nickel content. Austenitic stainless such as 304 or 316 can work harden by machining. It is not hard all the way through but rather it has a lattice...

The only time I use a cartridge as a chamber gauge is when I am building a custom gun for a man that loads his own ammo. In that circumstance we already have the dies he is going to use, selected the brass he is going to use, had him size his brass WITH the dies he intends to use, done case...

The XD doesn't have what I would call "sharp" lines. It is quite rounded at most corners. I agree with an earlier comment that "melting" the XD makes little sense. The end result will be a gun that has zero resale value. It has zero warranty with Springfield. It won't result in any...

You will come to discover that many a gunsmith will thread to fit when putting muzzle accessories on. The 1/2x28 threads are likely that...but over size. Most breaks and flash hiders are threaded with a tap, and may be a bit oversize. So when the gunsmith installed it he cut the threads on a...

Yes...put the fore end wood back on as Rc said. Grasp the muzzle end of the fore end and pull down. It will unlatch and release the barrel. Don't put effort into twisting at the barrel pivot pin. You will only booger up the screw slot and leave unsightly damage. I assure you that is how...

I've never tried to melt an XD but if the slide is as hard as the sights are... it is going to be a job.

Dr T said: "To me, it sorta looks like a Tikka T3 with both a Glock trigger safety and a tang safety." Yes. A Tikka T3 with a Savage trigger.

It goes in the inner wall of the receiver and the hooked part of the spring is held in place by the carrier spring screw. That screw is a short flat head screw with a standard straight slot. You will see a rounded milled out recess with a screw hole in the middle. That's where it goes. The...

Very nice. 6.5x55 is one of my all time favorite calibers. What twist are you using?

madcratebuilder says: "You need to check your facts. Current production ArmaLite AR15's compare with any rifle on your "list" plus they are the only manufacturer that has a lifetime warranty." Actually....IF your curious.. BCM Daniel Defense Noveske LMT Armalite CMMG Stag Rock River Olympic...

harrygunner, well put. I don't find it to be outrageous either. I carry it every day. There are some of the hot rod ammo makers that are pushing the envelope up to if not nearly beyond SAAMI for 10mm. Surely they are hot stuff. McNett does get some horsepower out of them as does Buffalo...

Save enough money till you have about $1500.00 - $2000.00 Seek and find one of the following: LMT Daniel Defense Colt 6920 BCM Noveske SPIKES TACTICAL STAG with $100.00 "Plus Package" milspec upgrade. Smith and Wesson Mp15a (has 1:9 twist) You are looking for HPT/MPT barrels and...

Sell all the guns you currently own. Go back and buy a Glock 19. Take the money you have left over and buy as much ammo as you can afford, a quality Inside the pants and a good outside the pants holsters.. Learn to run that 19 to it's peak ability. It is likely the most size efficient /...

Nope, I've not shot Rem UMC out of the 700 VSF. Nor would I. I am not a fan of Remington ammo regardless of caliber. From 22LR on up it would be my last option to buy.

Are you discussing the AR platform? OR is it going to be a lengthy discussion on the potential capabilities of all the various calibers it can be chambered in? He did say it was a platform that was capable of 500 meters. It is. 5.56 can and is used at that range and seemingly the military...
