    shelving for reloading die boxes?

    Has anyone here built shelving for holding die boxes individually in their own slot? I would like to be able to grab a die box without removing die boxes from on top of it and then replacing the boxes to the stack after removing the box. Anyone have a picture of such a setup? Mark

    Review: PT1911 Frame Modificatio after 11K rounds

    At the gun store I work at I ship out a lot of Taurus pistols and revolvers to Florida for repair. I have not sent out one of their 1911's. I did sell a new one to a family member a few years ago. Some are good and some are not. I have a hard time recommending them as quite a few are lemons.

    A Pistol Caliber Marlin 60?

    Ruger had their 44 Mag carbine. If it was a real popular idea I think they would still be making it.

    Sanitizing guns

    I work in a gun store. I also sell a lot of binoculars. It did not take very long looking at customers hands with open sores before I started carrying a small bottle of hand sanitizer. I have to wonder how many of the sores I was looking at contained something contagious.

    Bolt on my savage 111 is very hard to open

    I would simply stop dry firing it and opening the bolt until you disassemble the bolt or have it looked at by a gunsmith. It will never open after dry firing as easily as opens if not fired. It is a cock on opening bolt and it makes my finger hurt thinking about opening the bolt with one...

    Swelling stocks with water?

    In gunsmithing school we were told to boil old military stocks to get linseed oil out so we could refinish them. Last night I steamed dents out of an old stock with an old iron and a wet washcloth. If the wood on your old stock is compressed somehow, steaming will raise it partially. If it is...

    Need advice in cleaning guns

    You might consider contacting a gunsmith and if you tell him you have several guns he might cut a deal on cleaning and inspecting them for problems. He might also be able to tell you if any of them have any value other than sentimental.

    Dont even know where to start .22 Problem

    As mentioned above, dry firing can displace metal from the chamber mouth into the chamber and once a cartridge is fired the brass will hang on that displaced metal. Brownells sells a chamber swaging tool that I bought a few years ago for fixing this problem. If you play with enough older 22's it...

    Taurus Judge opinions?

    I measured the cylinder throats on a Judge we had in the gun store I work at. It measured .458" and for a 45 Colt I like the throat at .4525". An oversize throat does not help with accuracy. The Judge is not supposed to be a target gun though. It was a comfortable enough gun to shoot but it is...

    Remington Model 48 with three barrels.

    I just acquired a Remington Model 48B Sportsman that has three barrels. All three barrels are stamped with the receivers serial # The three barrels are Improved Cylinder, Modified and Full. I have never seen a set like this. Was this common for the Remington 48 to have 3 barrels? Mark
