This is going to be abit long winded, so I apologize in advance. I recently discovered (by complete accident) that there are a few companies that have made a barrel nut system for Remington 700's that allow for the swapping of barrels much the same way that is done with Savage rifles. I...

Now that I have some space available, I'm looking to get into knifemaking as a hobby but I don't want to spend a small fortune on tools. I ran across this belt grinder and wanted to get some opinions on it before I buy it and potentially make a $140 mistake. So, what do you guys think? I'm...

I recently got a Charter Arms Pitbull (the rimless revolver in .40 S&W) and took it out to the range yesterday. It has fixed front and rear sights. @10 yards, it was shooting pretty low, still on paper but pretty low. Best guess is 5 or 6 inches low. I was thinking about breaking out my...

I have a new Charter Arms Pitbull and after alot of dry firing the ejector rod head (part number 25 in the parts diagram) starts to come loose and makes it difficult to open the cylinder. I'm thinking an easy solution to this is to use blue loctite on it. Is this ok or is there some reason...

I went to the range today to sight in a couple rifles for deer season, and I took my Bersa Ultra Compact in .45 with me because I just put some new night sights on it last night and wanted to try it out. So the first few mags through it, I was consistently low and to the left. I was confident...

I am finishing up a project modifying a Remington F.A.S.T. fixed blade knife. I changed the profile of the blade and shortened the handle. It's coming along pretty well. All thats left is to finish sharpening, then painting, then sharpening again for good measure. Once I finish this, I want...

I'm about to pick up an M1A I bought from Buds. I eventually want to put a scope on it and I've heard that all 3 generations of the Springfield mounts are not so good. I'd like to get a good, reliable, solid mount, but dont want to pay an absurd amount for something like the Smith Enterprises...

So I'm wondering, how easy or difficult is it for a knife to lose its temper? How hot in general would it have to get before you would worry about it? I'm asking because I have a cheap Remington FAST fixed blade and I thought it would be fun to try and reprofile the blade to something more...

So I got one of those expensive Russian synthetic adjustable stocks from Centerfire Systems awhile back. I started working on installing it a few months ago, but removing the wood stock was a real pain so I set the project aside for a little while. I just recently started working on it again...

First, let me say that I have ZERO experience with revolvers, but I want to get one eventually, so please bare with me if this is a dumb question. Assuming you have a modern double action revolver that allows you to cock the hammer for a single action shot and you have a round in every...

I was thinking about getting a set of MOJO peep sights for my 91/30 and thought it would be really cool if I could put a fiber optic front sight on it as well. Has anyone ever tried this before? Does anyone know who makes a good fiber optic front that would fit with some minor fitting...

I recently bought a PSL, and I'm thinking I might want to take it deer hunting some later this fall. I've read that shooting 180gr surplus is bad for it because the gas system isn't adjustable and the 180's would batter the rifle. So my question is, would 203gr. Brown Bear be ok since its a...

So I have it disassembled and I'm trying to remove the 2 front pins with a punch and they just aren't cooperating. I've been beating on them all day long and they wont budge. What am I doing wrong? How do you remove those stupid things? :cuss: I watched a video where they convert a 7.62x39...

What's involved in converting a commander sized 1911 to 10mm? Is it alot of work and a real PITA or is it as simple as getting a new barrel and mags? Can all of the work be done by an average joe or would it have to be taken to a gunsmith? The 1911 in question is a Sig Compact Stainless...

So I was browsing around and I ran across a thread mentioning an XCR. I clicked on it thinking it was about a Remington 700 XCR. I was surprised when I saw pictures of a very cool looking semi auto "black rifle". I did alittle bit of reading about it, and what little I've read, I really like...

Has anyone had any experience with either of these at the range, or held one at the local gun shop? Has anyone seen one at the local gun shop? And if so, what was the actual price (not the MSRP)? It's a nice looking gun and I wanted one the second I laid my eyes on them, but I want to get...

I'm in the market for a new polymer .45 ACP. Originally I wanted a Taurus 24/7 OSS, but I'm starting to wonder if those things will ever come out. Then I decided on an FNP-45 USG. Unfortunately, I cant find those anywhere either. :banghead: So I have 5 different guns I'd like you guys to...
