    Reboring a 22 for a Liner - What Do I Need To Know?

    Bore the hole straight through with an extension on the liner drill, in a lathe. Do not drill it by hand, nor from each end. Start at the chamber end and go out the muzzle at 60-70 rpm, cleaning frequently and blowing off the bit and out the barrel with compressed air, use a lot of cutting oil...

    Tisas M1911A1 ASF versus WW2 Remington-Rand

    Just an opinion, but as long as you are going to be the one to buy and keep it, then fine, just buy to your taste, but realize the resale or trade value of a Tisas is such that it will always be a used Tisas. As a 60+ year collector, dealer, etc., I acquire with trade or sale in mind, mostly by...

    avoiding ear damage with powerful rifles

    The best hearing protection I have ever had as a range master and match director for 45+ years was and is, the hard plugs with electronic high decibel cancelling inserts fitted into the plugs. I had those ear plugs made and fitted at the Shot Show years ago by the folks from Game Ear. As a...

    Tree Pruning w 28 Ga

    I use a 20 for the pecan worms, high up in the trees, If you open a hole in the worm webs, their natural predator, a small wasp, can get in through the web to the worms and kill them or lay eggs on them and then the wasps also kill the next generations of worms. Works better than spray, just a...

    7.7 Japanese

    I have owned several type 99s and 99 conversions, a word of caution, depending on when manufactured, they can vary greatly in quality plus adherence to any specifications. Suggest that relying upon a manual to size or trim brass is a problem as the manual may be printed so anything created per...

    Biden closes ‘gun show loophole’

    Very simple, as a law maker myself, when you make a law there is always a few that fully intent to use that law for their own advantage or purpose. With the ATF, all they need is for someone to give them the glass to break, so they can use every fractured angle to impose their power by new...

    Family was in Spokane, Las Vegas and AZ.....while you were sleeping the elections have been fixed and stolen. Local elections, one after another, comtrilled by the states themselves. You not getting involved has cost you your state. No one took it from you, you gave it to them, by not caring...

    calling 22 hornet guys

    The little CF 22 rifles are quite fun to shoot. Have a few. The game changer in them is the 35 grain Berger spire point, sub 1/2" groups at 100 yards, with a bullet that detonates on a soda can full of water. You can or could reload the little 22s cheaper than shooting the 22 LR cartridge, much...

    Should a American Citizen, With No Legal Disqualifications, Be Able to Board a Bus,Train, Subway or Plane with a Firearm?

    The Constitution is not just one article, but many. The rights of property owners is also to be considered. The property owner has a right to give or deny access. So a blanket statement that does or may allow a violation of Constitutional property rights, is a non starter. We run into this with...

    What is your favorite rifle?

    Before I had open heart surgury, I talked to several shooters that were vetrans of that battle, so built an after surgury rifle, then another, both on the AR-15 platform for reduced weight and in 6mm for more power than the 223 at reduced recoil. First was a 6mm Mongoose, second was a 24 Varmint...
