so, i used red mahagony stain (2 coats) and 6 or 7 coats of tru-oil followed by steel wool in between. Granted this is by no means authentic. But I think it turned out nice. the pics are kind of bad quality....

On a whim, I decided to sand down the stock of my 1909 M91, and man does she look beautiful now that shes all sanded down. As of right now she is a really light blonde color, but I was wondering what are some of the best and most "authentic" options as far as applying a finish is concerned...

I have a MN made in 1909 and the bore only confirms its old age. the exterior of the gun and the chamber(chrome lined?) are in great condition. The bore on the other hand is heavily pitted. although when I shine a light down the barrel, all the grooves become very visible. Is this dangerous...

Damn near couldnt get it out of my cva wolf after a day of shooting. I liberally coated it in grease before I put it in. Maybe it wasnt enough.... It had me pretty damn pissed off/ worried. Anyone else have one seize up on them and NOT get it off eventually??

I have a SA mil-spec with a decent amount of creep. The creep got worse after I tried "polishing" the sear my self to try and fix it. Rather than send it to the SA custom shop for a trigger action job, what are the odds of being able to get the vickers blueforce gear sear and dropping it in...

I hear the term limp wristing being thrown around a lot. Does this really cause jams??

I just ordered 340 rounds on stripper clips...is this stuff decent surplus ammo?? Also, how do you all go about adjusting the windage on your K98?? Thanks

I just picked up two packs of the 245 grain sabots and havent had a chance to get to the range with them. I used to use powerbelts and after doing a lot of reading, I have been sold on the idea of sabots. My question is this: when you load the low drag sabots, do you guys use bore butter each...

this will be the first time i will have to fill out all the applications for deer myself (last time my dad did it, as I was a lot younger). What do I need to know? Should I apply for the 1st lottery, 2nd lottery, or daily lottery?? Also, the area I will be hunting will have a moderate amount...

I want to spend some coin on my second ammendment interests over the summer, what should I do??

stick or ball? If I am not mistaken, the m16/ ar15 was not designed to be used with ball powder because it was dirtier, correct?? what powder is most commonly used these days in the various types of military surplus and civilian 5.56/.223, and how can you tell??

Is it that difficult to take the necessary steps to get a garand or carbine from CMP??? I wish I could just call them and order one:(

ATTN: NOOB QUESTION:D Sooo, I have always been a powerbelt person, but I decided I want to get into sabots not only to save money, but for better consistancy and accuracy as well. I am going to try out the hornady SST low drag sabots. The cabelas catalog says these go for $14 per 20. Do the...

anybody have either of these?? Ive got the 50 cal. beartooth magnum with what i think is a 22" barrel(same length bbl as cva wolf, whatever that is) and I have a 3-9x40 scope on it. I use 245 grain powerbelts with pyrodex pellets(100 grains). Just wondering if anyone has one of these, if so...

I have an 870 youth 20 GA and after looking at a friends 870, I noticed mine is missing an ejector spring. Is it supposed to have one?? A friend used it hunting not long ago without a problem, so it doesnt seem to be a problem. ETA: I just did a function check with some shells and it...

So this looks like a nice rifle to add to ones collection, and some day soon I hope to do so. But there is one thing that bothers me about this rifle: the horror stories about disassembling it and not getting it back together( i know a guy this happened to personally). I own a lot of guns...

Anybody take their gun to a smith to have a choke tube system installed? If so, where did you go to get it done, what did you pay, and did they do a good job?? I was thinkin of takin mine to gander mtn. they will machine a shotgun barrel to accept choke tubes for $100.

If I want to get a crisper trigger pull on my springer mil-spec, would replacing the hammer and sear be the way to go. Maybe a Les Baer hammer and sear kit??? or should I take it to a smith or something. Or...is there a bill springfield of 1911s that I can send it to?

What are the main differences between these besides one costs more?
