    School me on 350 Legend loading

    So 35 Remington has been in limited factory and component production for a few years. Has me looking at alternative hunting loads and rifles. I see 350 Legend uses .357" bullets and range from 125 to 280 gr. I have quite a few 200gr .358" FTX bullets that haven't found a home in 35Rem cases yet...

    Astra Regent

    My neighbor handed over three gunsmith jobs. Two of them I can do in my sleep but the third I don't know enough about revolvers, let alone obscure revolvers. It is an Astra Regent in 22LR, made in Spain. No serial number so it was made sometime before 1968. Probably well before 1968. In double...

    Warhorse project part 2-M1917

    I bought an Eddystone M1917 back in January as a project. https://www.thehighroad.org/index.php?threads/new-to-me-warhorse.915138/#post-12527942 I Parkerized the receiver and barrel, left the other small parts alone. Stripped, cleaned, and refinished the stock. The rifle looks great, but I...

    SOG Trident AT

    I bought a SOG Trident AT. https://www.midwayusa.com/product/1024722517?pid=341973 Long story short, it came without a pocket clip. Months of emails and phone calls, I finally got the company to send one out to me. Over a year after I got the knife. But...just the clip. Not the screw that...

    New to me Warhorse

    Won this rifle at an online auction on a lark. Sporterized Eddystone M1917 with a scope. Serial number puts it made in April of 1918. It has seen a fair bit of abuse. Looks like the barrel was poorly refinished or cold blued at one point. Plan on either Parkerizing or rebluing the barrel...

    Bullet Jewelry

    Okay fellows (and ladies). It is my wife's and I 10th year being married. She also really likes the headstamp jewelry she sees on Etsy and sites like that. I have it in my head to get her some jewelry made out of 10mm shells for our 10th year. But cannot find any. Anyone know anyone (or someone...

    Pocket holster search

    My usual holster company for the past 10 years recently went out of business, so I am looking for some information. I am in the market for a pocket holster for my Walther PPS (original). I am running into one or two problems. Primarily I want a holster that fits the PPS and a TLR-6 sized light...

    Lost guns and stupid laws

    This is mostly going to be a gun related rant post that hopefully other people can relate to. I just came back from my family homelands in upstate NY. One person I visited was my grandfather. He had a very modest collection of 3 rifles going back generations. A Marlin 1936 (not 336) in 30-30. A...

    How would YOU fix this rifle stock?

    I have had this Marlin 336 for over 15 years. Near the end of the stock there is some damage. Some of it was accidently put there by me, others were there when I bought it. I have a pretty good game plan in mind already but want to see what others would do. These marks are just at the end there...

    Opinions on moldable holster

    I was at a large, local gun store the other day and found a DIY moldable leather holster on the shelf. The idea is intriguing as I carry 1) not a very common firearm and 2) with a light and red dot. Has anyone used these? https://1791gunleather.com/holsters/ultra-custom-holsters/

    Call 911 first

    Saw this article on my Facebook news feed, and it points out something that has been loosely touched on here: When in a self defense situation, call 911 whenever it is safe to do so. Do not wait. In this instance, an attempted robber called 911 after being shot at by his victim. In this...

    Sentinal cabinet, worth the trouble?

    Just up the road I have one of those bargain outlet stores. They buy stuff that is blemished, wholesale etc and resell it. They have a Sentinel branded cabinet outside. A few dented corners but no other damage. As far as I can tell it is similar to this one...

    Polymer AR magazines

    The only magazines I have used in my ARs (and service M4/M16) have been Pmags and Aluminum GI magazines. I stopped by my local gun store where they had 2 barrels of Mission First Tactical mags. One model for 11.99 each and the other for 12.99. I grabbed three of the ones that I liked the...

    5.56 by barrel length

    The lack of ammo availability has me researching reloading more. Specifically in 9mm and 5.56. I have two AR-15s. One is 10.5" barrel and the other is 16", both are 1:7 twist. While components are just as hard to find, I like to workup loads in advance so I know what I am shopping for. So what...

    Leather thread sealant

    My newest holster uses a mix of cowhide and horsehide sewn together for moisture resistance. Some of the sewing is held against my skin where it creates an itchy feeling. Is there something I can add to the threads that will smooth them out against my skin and prevent wear of the threads? I am...

    Holster for old Colt

    Despite my attempts to dissuade, my wife wants to carry her grandmother's old Colt Police Positive as a daily carry firearm. This is the 38 S&W (not Special) version. One issue is the barrel has been cut from the factory 4 or 6 inches to 2 inches. She is leaning toward an OWB leather holster...

    Kydex holster making

    Going to attempt to make my own holster soon and received the kit just a few days ago. I am thinking of making a holster for my Q4 that can switch between IWB and OWB carry. I know a few people here have made their own holsters out of Kydex, any pearls of wisdom to know before I start? A...

    Surprise Colt Gift

    My Mother in law pulled out a tissue box today, handing over a Colt Police Positive. Asking me to clean it and bring it down on my next trip. My wife is convinced this is her way of giving me the Colt. Until I know otherwise I will just clean it. Mother in law just wants it cleaned and protected...

    New Rifle

    I have a couple of low budget scopes without rifles to put them on. One is an AIM scout scope 2-7x40mm the other is a Centerpoint 4-16x40mm. I am thinking of putting one of them on a cheap bolt action rifle that will not get much use unless I get back into hunting again. Open to caliber...

    Homemade snap caps

    I have the need to get some snap caps for some upcoming firearm projects I want to get done. Store bought are ridiculously expensive for what they are, so I plan to make my own. I want to make 3-5 inert snap caps for most of the calibers I have on hand. First will be 5.56 Easy enough process to...
