I took my Hungarian HiPower completely apart for well-deserved detail cleaning, and had a bear of a time getting the sear-ejector-hammer part all back in. This seems to take at least three very strong hands. I finally got it back together through sheer force of will. Is there a trick to this?

I have to replace the barrel on my Springfield 1911. The thought occurred to me that since they are in my home state, why not roadtrip to Berryville and have Wilson's do it for me? $270 for a "match grade" barrel, fitted and tested. Anyone have any experience with their barrels and/or smithing?

Is there much to recommend one over the other? Also, I have a 5gal bucket full of military .30-'06 brass. How hard is it to neck that down to 6.5mm?

Never did catch the guy's last name. Old guy named Tom who runs his gunsmith shop in the back of a gun shop/pawn shop in Hot Springs. He was recommended to me several years ago as someone who knows his way around a Garand. The rifle looks terrific. Took the thing to a rifle match at MVSA...

I need a recipe for .303 Brit that uses the 123gr 7.62x39 bullets and IMR 4895 that will approximate the trajectory of the Brit military .303 load. Anybody got one?

That's not an oxymoron, is it? My SKS patterns like a shotgun at 50 yards. What factory ammo is there that might be better than the Russian stuff, at no more than, say, twice the price?

At less than $100, it is really tempting to grab one just because I can. Are the triggers horribly heavy, with a pull that feels like someone dumped sand in the works? Are they barely able to hit a coffee can at ten paces? Do you have to carry a screwdriver to put them back together after...
