Yeah I first encountered a variation on this when I occasionally shot with the Western Action guys, After shooting you go to the clearing table and the guys always rack the lever guns 3-4 times just to make sure before fully clearing the guns. I've adopted it for quite a few of my guns (albeit...

Another good thing to do to a golfball is to drill a hole in one side and fill it with lead. Glue over it and refinish/paint. This changes the ball's center of gravity and makes them do interesting things:evil: Shooting them is good fun too!:o Kager

OK maybe I should clarify, I wan't trying for accuracy, just speed. I am pretty familiar with milsurp folklore and with the concept of the "mad minute." but this is usually shot at normal rifle distances.... Nor incedently was I firing from the hip. I was using a 2-7 scope set on 2...

On Saturday I was at our local shooting range, and after competing in a Metallic Silhouette Shoot (pistol) myself and my sister were doing some fun plinking at paper targets just to use up our spare ammo. Now I had my EBR (scoped sporter .303) in the car, and got to wondering just how fast...

Yes this did happen in some cases I know a few guys who legally own C/D weapons i.e. FNFAL/ pump shotguns etc. But in most cases I think they simply handed in their worst guns (a lot of guys got paid exorbitant prices for rusty old sks and such,) and buried thier good ones. Local legend has...

Hi all, .38 is the largest pistol cal normally allowed, but you can get your license endorsed for heavy cal (up to .45) if you regularly Compete in Metallic Silhouette or Western Action. I have a S&W 645 .45 auto that I use for MS, Not the ideal cal I know but it is a real fun gun and...

Sorry to disappoint you, but I have never even been near a "joint." :D LOL Actually I thought it was a fairly PC looking knife.:confused: I've found them very functional, I used to be into large blades a lot until I realized that smaller knives are simply more practical and controlable...

They are all my own design, made from saw blade. A fair bit of thought went into each one. The tanto is a compromise between easy packing and serious cutting, it has great balance in any grip, and is very maneuverable. Its a great thrower too. A palm knife is a common term generally...

Hi, I just thought I'd share a link to some pics of my knives: http://gdrew.au.com/jj.html The little palm knife is a real darling. Enjoy, Josh

RDF; Thanks for clarifying that. I have made a few knives out of the Bi metal Hacksaw blades, While not the best stuff I have used, it is OK, It is a good starter for the budding knifemaker. You need to grind a very thin edge and strop it to get that freaky sharp blade:cool: They do tend...

Hi, I usually just use pre tempered carbon steel that way I don't have to worry about heat treating etc. but I am currently making a waved folder that will have a 440c Stainless blade that will require heat treatment. For a working knife I usually use old Power hacksaw blades or circular...

Hi, I was just nine years old when I was given my first pocket knife, it was an old Okapi lockback :) with a 3 " blade I'm guessing its 30- 40 yrs old now, it is of German Manufacture , I have it here in front of me at the moment, It has a distinctive design and the blade has a full flat grind...

Hi Cortez welcome to THR, Joe Vialls has done some investigation http://home.overflow.net.au/~nedwood/portarthur.html He has some good points but I take his stuff with a grain of salt.;) The latest attack came in the form of Australia Post refusing to carry any firearm related...

Stay calm and talk it over with the teacher first, Don't give her any reason to believe that she was right about gun owners being crazy. It is all very well to talk about how teachers should be totally free of bias, but at the end of the day Teachers are real people just like us and its a...

Actually I do have the Lee Collet set, I'm just having trouble at present trying to get them to work properly , hmm maybe later I'll turn up a new mandrel on the lathe.... I know .308 is undersize but I'm curious to see if it will work. Thanks Josh
