I shaved with a traditional Dovo straight razor for about 25 years before switching to a Dove Shavette maybe 20 years ago. It was always a struggle to keep the traditional razor sharp, and I never got it as sharp as the razor blade in a Shavette. One thing I found after trying many different...
Make the cardiologist aware that you shoot long guns and ask them to place the pacemaker pocket on the side opposite the one you shoulder your rifle on.
I had a friend years ago who grew up in India where his parents were missionaries. He said the people in the bush would follow a herd of elephants and shoot them up the rear end with a .22 rifle when they defecated. They would then follow the elephant until it expired from peritonitis (sepsis).
I have been chamber checking all my .45 rounds with the actual Emissary barrel, but granted I am thinking now that it is likely I missed one. Am using Missourri bullets. My OAL is 1.270, the same as the factory rounds I have.
Have been reloading for about 8 years, mainly .40 and 9 mm. This is...
Good morning.
I have a Springfield Emmisary that is giving me troubles. Using mixed brass with a 200 grain RN bullet, 147 grains of BE and CCI SPP. About every other range trip I get a squid with a slightly dented primer and unburnt powder spilling out of chamber and brass when I am able to get...
Epoxy can act as a lubricant, but usually I have had no problems with screw inserts backing out. I use them for furniture builds and for holding my reloading equipment to my bench.
It helps, especially with a brass insert, to use wax or bar soap on the threads. Woodworking stores sell a dedicated screw lube. Also, if using brass, sometimes it makes it easier to tap the thread with a steel wood insert, then insert the brass insert.
This technique might work:
1. Soak bent staff in water for a couple of days. A piece of rain gutter capped at both ends would work as a receptacle.
2. Construct a caul out of 3 pieces of 3/4" x 4" boards, cut to the length of the staff. Cut the middle piece of board 1" narrower than the others...
I have a few Berry's copper plated .40 caliber bullets I will send to whomever picks up the shipping.
1st batch: 300-40 S&W 180 gr round nose.
2nd batch: 600-40 S&W 155 gr flat point round shoulder.
If you keep getting nicks with the Feather blades, try Astra’s. They are not quite as sharp as a Feather and might cut down on the nicks. Everybodies face is different.
I am 65 yo and have been shaving with a straight razor since I was 18 yo. My first razor was a hand me down from my Grampa. Eventually I picked up some $100-200 Dovo's that I shaved with for 25 years or so. I felt like I was never getting my razor sharp enough, initially using a black Washita...
When my boys went to college I took 2 pieces of MDF and glued them together. I then edged the MDF with oak and laminated a piece of Formica on top. Then used a router to trim the Formica and oak edges. The finished surface sat on 2-2 drawer file cabinets. Easily transportable and you could size...
