Ok I was told that this was an original Uzi smg or MP38 9mm "tabacco tin cleaning kit" - It only has a soldier's initials etched into it, - and what might it be missing?

So I have been handloading and casting bullets for years, and for the most part have been able to develop some fairly accurate hard cast lead load data for my 357 mags, 44 mags, 38 specials, 45 auto, 44-40, etc. But have always failed at 9mm. So this weekend I attempted to try every...

I have a lovely 36" SEAMLESS 1" inside diameter 4130 steel tube with .250 walls that I am contemplating an awesome shotgun project. I originally was going to build a black powder mini Cannon for some Arial launch burst shells but after seeing beautifully slick the inside is, I thought "what a...

Ok so I have started work accurizing my 1903 a3. It has 2 grove ra 44 barrel, that I just finished poling with tubbs system, (bright and shiny), I already bedded the barrel and action lug with acraglass and I plan to do a trigger job. But I can't make up my mind - apparently barrel bedding might...

I am getting ready to try some old fashioned rust bluing on a couple of recent barrel projects. I have done a lot of research, and easiest safest technique I have found goes like this: 1- heat on a hotplate in a not important pan enough hydrogen peroxide to immerse my barrel. 2- when...

Well I just wanted to post an update to a project I started about a year ago, and adding a post to a 1 year old thread, usually means it doesn't get read. BUT I really wanted to say thanks for the good advice (and bad!) and share what ended up working well for my fellow "metal heads" here, (see...

I have been handloading for years, and just ran into the first time I ever experienced over pressure loads using accepted data? I am loading for tc 14 " 6.5mm tcu. I started out by using 223 ammo and form firing them to my super 14 contender in 6.5mm tcu, neck resizing and then loading with 20...

My question is kind of a 3 fold explaining inquiry. I have built from scratch 3 of my own custom .50 muzzleloaders, 2 flintlock, 1 percussion, and enjoy using them quite a bit. I have an idea/ Savage's 10 mlss has really caught my eye. to build something on that order for N.Y. - and I have...

Muzzle loader barrels? I have made 3 muzzle loaders out of pre bored and rifled 4130 blanks with great success and want to make my own blanks. I have a lathe for the boring and honing process and want to construct a turntable with guide press to rifle with a carbide cutter- but after that...

What is the first sign you use to determine you have reached an over-max load on a wildcat ? Primers can flatten sometimes on normal loads like 30-06. Cases can stick if the chamber is rough. Primer pocket blow out? that seems like it might be way too far down the road. I have worked...

I have searched the web all over for an answer and have repeatedly come up empty on this question - " what size and thread is a sks barrel at the receiver." I have one that I have slated for a custom 13- 15" single shot pistol that I unscrewed from a cut receiver. Best I can tell it might...

Ok I Read through a lot of the posts here that had anything to do with these calibers, but did not find a straight out discussion on these calibers and there differences if any. I own(ed) 2 cz 52's , and a broomhandle in 30. I bought hansen "30 combat" ammo that was labeled 7.62 tokarev/30...

I have a Springfield 1903-a3 with a 2 groove ra-44 barrel on it. It looks like the original stock was cut down into a sporter. I tried bedding the barrel with acraglass but I am not sure it made any improvement. I was thinking of free floating it instead and maybe installing a tension shroud...
