    I went to Kibler Longrifle's open house

    I was at the open house, very neat operation. My son and I both ended up ordering mountain rifle kits when we got home, had I known he wanted one we would have ordered them that day on site.

    3D Printer for Gun Build

    I would also add that most 3D prints are not particularly strong, I like them for building some tooling and prototyping, but for real strong parts they have their limitations unless you start getting into the expensive SLS type printers.

    3D Printer for Gun Build

    There are a few pictures below of a 22 rimfire box my son printed on his Ender, think the file came of Thingiverse.com. The last was a print using an Elegoo printers in photopolymer resin. The body on this one has fully articulating segments and is very neat, for resolution you can not beat SLA...

    Info on MMC Power Checkering Tool

    I just recently purchased an MMC power checkering tool and am looking for some info on it. The tool is in good running condition, but I am concerned that it has sat unused for the past 20-25 years. Apparently the lubricant used in it can harden over time and needs to (according to the factory...

    Are components becoming more available?

    I think things are starting to return though I truly feel there is still a lot of hoarding going on right now. I keep a comfortable supply of components based on my level of shooting, but was in need of large pistol primers so I did buy the brick. I could have bought the others on the shelf, but...

    Where's all the PRIMERS!!!!

    I found a brick of large magnum match pistol primers tonight at my local shop. Paid normal pre lunacy price for them. Bought three pounds of Greendot there last week. Bought half a brick of shotgun primers there last month. I am hoping it is a sign of things easing up a bit.

    Remington model 8

    I shot a few deer years ago with a model 8 in 32 Remington, still have the dies but the rifle is unfortunately long gone. My dad still has the Woodmaster in 35.

    Gifted a CVA 1860 army. Shoot or not?

    Looks like one of the older ones, my vote would be to shoot and enjoy. Only issue you may have is getting balls and caps for it right now unless you already have some.

    Are components becoming more available?

    Over the past few weeks I have started seeing a bit more reloading supplies. Picked up a 1000 Federal Large Magnum pistol primers tonight (leaving several boxes on the shelf for the next guy) at my local store and last week they had a shelf full of Green Dot. All prices were non- inflated. I...

    Colt Frame welded?

    In Howes Modern Gunsmithing book written in the 1930's there is a section describing a repair where a hot load burst the cylinder and peeled off the top strap. This was expertly fixed by replacing the cylinder and carefully bending and straightening the frame and welding it. If that was what...

    Thanks for the info. My only problem now is convincing the wife that I have a need for another gun in the safe.

    Colt Woodsman Match Target

    I am looking at a 1957 manufactured Colt Woodsman Match Target 6" barrel with the original box and a few papers. Gun is in about 95% condition and is wearing what appears to be factory brown glossy plastic grips. They are asking $799, does it sound like a decent price? Thanks.

    Colt Woodsman Match Target

    I was at the local gunshop the other day and they have a Colt Woodsman Match Target in the case with the original cardboard box and a few papers. Very nice condition, probably 95%. Instead of wood grips it has shiny brown plastic target grips. Just curious if these were standard with the Colt...

    S&W K22 Transfer Bar

    I was looking at a K22 at a local gunshop the other day and have a question. This is an older pinned barrel model, with diamon grips but it has a transfer bar instead of the firing pin in the hammer. Any thoughts on this? My initial thought was a factory conversion to the transfer bar. Very nice...

    Mini Lathe for the home armory

    I agree with some of what you say when speaking of the lathes sold by Harbor Freight and some others, the Hi Torque lathes sold by Little Machine Shop have much better motors, no headstock gears, to name a few. They are much more capable machines. I would also add I use these machines with...
