I bought the Wilson barrel and built an AR upper. Took a while to get it running as it wouldn't cycle and I sent it back to Wilson and they opened up the gas port, then it started running. It's easy to make brass from 223, just chop the next (most of it) off, reform with an RCBS die, and you're...

I recommend googling project appleseed to get their info on learning how to shoot accurately. I bought his packet of targets and manual and it helped me although I have not practiced his methods in quite some time. He is an interesting guy, advocating that we all become excellent shooters from...

Back around 2002, I got a Yugo SKS, in essentially brand new condition, at a gun store for $200. They had crates of them. I believe I also got one for more like $175 after I got my C&R, again, essentially brand new. Very solid, totally reliable rifle. When I evacuated for Katrina, out of all...

Stage II will be completion of camo painting, trigger job, swivels and sling, maybe free-floating of barrel, and ... muzzle brake! If I can get a machine shop to turn down the muzzle and thread it for a fair price, given the total investment in this project (which is probably around $300 for...

It started out as a 91/30 bbled action.

Build one yourself. This started out as a rusty, pitted barreled action. Shortened it to 20", recrowned, filled in pits with JB Weld, filed and sanded smooth. removed rear sight base, used 3/8" to Weaver adaptor and steel Weaver rings to mount Leatherwood 2-7x Scout scope. All parts coated...

I like my VEPR in .308. Tackdriver.

This started out as a rusty, pitted barreled action. Shortened it to 20", recrowned, filled in pits with JB Weld, filed and sanded smooth. removed rear sight base, used 3/8" to Weaver adaptor and steel Weaver rings to mount Leatherwood 2-7x Scout scope. All parts coated with Brownell's...

Garage time I got an hour or two of "garage time" while the mrs watched the baby while I was applying coats of Aluma-hyde "coyote" to my Mosin scout project, including coats to the scope base, rings, bolt, trigger, and scope. Full camo paint to follow.

George Forman grill, with removable, cleanable plates, adjustable temp, and timer, major improvement over the Lil George!

Thanks. Yeah, he calls me "uncle," and my uncle (mother's brother) was instrumental in teaching me to shoot, and drive, and drink -- not necessarily in that order. Everybody needs father figures and uncle-figures, and there are way too many kids who have neither.

For Christmas, I rented a cabin in the Texas Hill Country to take my wife and baby. We took my wife's nephew, who is 11 years old and does not have a father in his life. He plays a lot of video games but has never shot a real firearm. I took a pistol for protection, and a cheap chinese .22...

When I evacuated New Orleans for Katrina, I took my Colt Officer's Model 1911, and my SKS. It is a struggle to decide between handgun and rifle, and handgun and shotgun, because a good riot gun with rifle sights and a good assortment of bird, buck, and slug will cover a lost of bases; but if...

Look me up if you're in the Houston area. We'll go shooting, then drink a few cold ones.

I admit I am a cheap bastard. I did buy a muzzle crowning kit in .30 and 8 mm. from Brownells and have used it to recrown several shortened barrels, so it was a decent investment. I hate buying tools almost as much as I hate paying gunsmiths (I'm not sure I ever have paid a gunsmith to do...

Thanks but since my barrel is cut down the diameter is almost 17 mm. I'll check the CNC site but I think I'm going to have to go with 5/8" brake and get the bbl turned down by a local machine shop. I'll let you know how it "turns" out!

Thanks. My muzzle is not a standard diameter and will need to be turned down slightly to accept a 5/8" brake. If the diameter were correct I'd take a shot at cutting the threads, so it's really the turning down part that's complicating things.

I'm working on a Mosin-based scout rifle project. I've shortened and re-crowned the barrel to 20" and would like to install a muzzle brake. The places that do barrel threading seem to be all high-end shops that cater to the silencer crowd and other big shots. Mine is a low budget project, and...

My VEPR I love my VEPR -- it's a tack driver and super reliable.
