Hi, I manganese parked a mauser bolt that had a swept back bolt handle welded on; I was told that it was a 1042 or possibly a 4140 steel handle. All but the handle took on a nice parkerizing. The handle looks as it was right after I blasted it. I am no means a metallurgist, but it looks...

Hi, This here is for all y'alls input, regarding barrel bedding at link down. I understand that the barrel is properly linked down when the rear face of the barrel foot/lug is solidly and evenly contacting the vertical surface of the frame, and the bottom of the barrel is, as 1911tuner has...

Hi, I lost my instructions for my poweder scale, the one with the 20 and 50g check weights. Would anyone be so kind as to give me a quick rundown on what I need to do? -ie button pusing sequence, etc. thanks much!:)

Hi, theres a pawn shop by me that has one of these on a really nasty looking rem700 in 7mm mag.Im pretty sure I can get the manager to sell it separately. The optics are very clear, but the bullet drop reticles are probably for .308 match loads out of M1A's, right? Its a 30mm tube. Are...

If you have one, could I persuade you to post, or send me some clear pics of the shell plate deck and related area, so I can see how things fit together? I bought one used, and while all the parts are there, I need to put this rube goldberg together! I am as far as having the shell feeder on...

Hi, I just picked up a older 20ga double. The manufacturer, I dont know. Its enscribed, " the 'sportsman's *cleveland*' ". The pics tell the story better. It seems to look like a stevens type. It has some operating issues, Ill describe it, but I have 0% knowledge of these types of breech...
