Clean: WD-40 (followed by drying with compressed air) Kroil soak then JB Bore Cleaner. Lube: Marvel Mystery Oil and generic STP (50/50). Lasts and lasts and doesn't dry out in the safe.

I am VERY hesitant to use any kind of abrasive, whether tool or solution, on blued parts. I have had good luck with Kroil, the penetrating oil, and a Q-Tip (along with elbow grease). I tried some Flitz once on a small area of corrosion on a Python barrel. It worked wonderfully on the corrosion...

You know, since SASS has be around and gained in popularity, the History Channel doesn't have to look for movie extras and scour Hollywood for costuming when they produce programs about the Old West. In fact, the SASS costuming is more accurate than the movie kind save for those who choose to...

Our young lab loves to chew so much, especially rubber or plastic. Although she can't go shooting handguns with me, she has her own Glock 17 to knaw on in times of stress. Tastey!

Regarding thefts from EOT in Norco, I never heard anything about such happenings. If firearm thefts occurred, you can bet the L.A. Times would be all over it bleating about lack of "secure storage" of firearms during events. OTOH, even though I am not a member, I took great pride in the fact...

Fortunately, the 01 FFL I normally go through is fairly circumspect when calling my home or work regarding a pending purchase. He will leave a message in either or both places but simply states, "PKAY, your package is in."

I do believe that the Democrat Party and the Kerry campaign WILL claim victory, will assert that they have WON, even if they have been objectively defeated and it's close like 2000. The Democrats simply will not accept defeat as they are in denial. There could be violence from this set of...

Thanks for the responses. I've got a hunch that there is a difference among importers as to quality simply because the pricing for the Navy Arms and Cimarron guns is almost $100 more compared to the Tristar imports. There has to be a reason for this, but I haven't been able to objectively...

I have been looking for an Uberti 1873 Sporting Rifle for a while. I have noted that the gun is imported by a number of different companies (Navy Arms, Cimarron, EMF, and Tristar), and I believe Uberti imports under its own name as well. I have been informed that no matter who the importer is...

Jim - If you're adept at using the screwdriver method it's fine. But if you want a precise little device that's especially good if your trying out a number of spring powers, it can't be beat. It just eliminates all that pressure on your fingers at the same time you're trying to remove or install...

I have done a fair amount of smithing on my S&W (or *&* as the case may be) revolvers. Nothing fancy. Just personal work ala Jerry Kuhnhausen's manual. In so doing I have come across a very useful and ingenious rebound slide removal and installation tool from gunsmithertools.com. It is the...

I recently bought a consignment 625-6 in pristine condition though used. It had been highly polished by a very patient and dedicated former owner. The action was light and smooth, which led me to believe the owner performed or had done a nice action job. I bought a bunch of full moon clips and...

Well, guys, here's what I found out this morning after speaking with both the CRPA legal folks and DOJ. The C&R handgun issue is CA law (PC12078T2) not federal which draws a distinction between C&R long guns and C&R handguns. While C&R long guns can be shipped directly to the holder of an 03 FFL...

I made some inquiries of the CA DOJ yesterday regarding the purchases of C&R long guns and C&R handguns given possession of an 03 FFL and CA COE. The DOJ point of contact stated that while the long guns can be shipped directly to the address of record on the face of the 03 FFL copy and the 10...

Here's what I sent off to Bill O'Reilly yesterday on this matter: Bill: George Clooney, like Alec Baldwin, is little more than an effete, elitist snob; a typical limousine liberal from Tinsel Town whose ego is only matched by his incredible hubris. His leftist demagoguery and insensitivity...

Just received my COE from the CA DOJ. Now with the C&R FFL I can purchase C&R firearms without the 10 day wait. Time to start looking!

Priv8ter - I read and enjoyed UC immensely; primarily for its portrayal of gun owners as true patriots and lovers of liberty. The ATF agent portrayals were eye opening and troubling. But remember government agents are employees. The direction of an agency can be changed if the right folks are...

I love the show, but last week the digital TV lineup listed it and showed bull riding instead. Continued to list it on line while showing bull riding. What gives? (BTW, those bull riders most certainly will never be able to have children! )

Well, folks, I got it in the mail yesterday!! My C&R license and under separate cover a package of booklets with C&R listings, U.S. gun laws, etc. No proof of citizenship was required, but I'll wager they used my fingerprint cards to verify that. Now for the COE from the CA DOJ.

BenW - I filled out the right form but BATF in L.A. confirmed I was to provide two complete sets of fingerprints with my application even though such a requirement is not mentioned in the instructions for the C&R license. They said nothing of a proof of citizenship form and provided none with...
