typical I have generally found that the CB Long is not as accurate as standard LR ammo. I considered using it to hunt squirrels in the back yard but it was not accurate enough in my Ruger 10/22 Rifle for head shots like standard LR ammo.

I have an older co-worker that switched from a small semi-auto to a 38 revolver because the 38 revolver was easier to grip. His hands are stiffer than they used to be. A handgun is called the "great equalizer" since it does not require you to be a young strong male to use.

I have been interested in it. A range about 45 minutes away lists CAS as one of the things that happen there. However, whenever I visit I have never seen a schedule of planned events. I have never seen anyone wearing a cowboy outfit. It could be that club has died out or they just do stuff...

I did some testing on neck sizing vs full length and also tested chamfering the flash hole. Using the Lee collet sizer. With both neck sizing and chamfering I got a 1/3 reduction in group size. This was consistantly the group size reduction for two different rifles firing 308 and 223 bullets...

Another source for blade metal I have bought 1095 blade steel from Admiral Steel in Chicago. They cater to knife makers and stock a variety of cut steel pieces in various metal types, widths, thicknesses, and lengths. They ship them to you UPS. Their web site is...

I have bought 1095 high carbon steel a couple times from Admiral Steel in Chicago. http://www.admiralsteel.com/products/blades.htmlThey cater to people making knives and will sell you a strip of knife steel in different thicknesses, widths, and lengths. They ship it UPS. The prices are on...

Your situation sounds like an excuse to make a custom knife. I made my wife a kitchen chef knife for Valentines day this past weekend so any sort of excuse works as a reason to make a knife. What kind of things do you use the knife for? How long of a blade do you want? Do you need serrations?

I recommend that you get a bottom pour melt pot. I bought the least expensive pot type where you have to use a dipper and deal with all the trash floating on top of the good lead below. I have ocassionally seen used ones for sale on E-bay for about half price.

I don't think that I can yet answer the question about the handling characteristics. The book said that of many flexible weapons developed over past centuries this one was the easiest to use. I can see one good strike from a ready position that might end a fight if it connected but I need to...

Beyond wearing heavy gloves and probably something to cover your forearm as well, the book I got it from recommended a couple things for practice. The first recommendation would be a short kata type thing where you imagine a scenario and act it out but with your swings going through free air...

The striker is a solid iron ball used for ornamental iron fences. I drilled and tapped it.

I happen to have a CCW license and from my understanding of KY law I could carry this chain mace concealed. Otherwise it would be illegal to carry it or any other weapon concealed. Now, in reality, I'll stick with my pocket revolver.

Explanation for the name A Practical Chain Mace was what the author called it. He also used the term "Modern". I think the comparison is to the historical maces normally seen that have big spikes on the ball and a big handle. Not something that you could carry in your pocket. The maces of...

I found an illustration of this weapon in the book Flexible Weapons by John Sanchez. It looked pretty good and so I decided to try and make it. It has a 1 9/16 inch diameter (9 oz.) iron ball striker. The total weight is 17 oz. It fits pretty good in my front pants pocket even when seated.

I have been playing around for a while trying to get a 12 or 20 ga shotgun load to work with airsoft pellets. My teenage son gets together with other friends and they run around in the woods shooting at each other with Airsoft guns and having a great time. So that had got me thinking why not...

I have been using an 870 now for about 20 years. A couple years ago my brother in law gave me a Mossberg that I was going to use for a spare. Then one day, for practice, I grabbed it up in low light and was going to put a shell in. Wouldn't you know it but I when to the wrong place for the...

I have ended up with a fairly inexpensive black plastic hard case lined with egg crate foam that I got at Bass Pro Shop for maybe $15. I have to take the barrel off for it to fit but it is much more convenient than carrying the shotgun around in a long soft case. The foam keeps the two parts...

Landric, Your velocities look to be normal for both LR & Mag.

I had tried a Remington and Super X brand and got similar low velocity for both. I wonder if there is a market opportunity for a 22 Mag optomized for a short barrel pistol instead of a rifle. It sounds like most everyone is getting more velocity out of their shorter barrels than I was out of...

In March I bought a new NAA Black Widow revolver. I have ended up sending it back to the factory three times now while trying to get them to fix problems with abnormal low velocity. Initially I was getting 70-70% of their expected published velocity. The factory gunsmith agreed that it...
