Well here she is at her debut at the range yesterday. Here's the first test results. These were fired with some untested ammo I made a little while back. They were 155gr Sierra Palma Match HPBT with 49.0gr of AA-2460 seated at 3.300 COAL, federal lg rifle primer. You can see where I...

I did the Parkerizing on both the Garand and The Carbine. The only thing I didn't park myself was the receiver and barrel on the Garand as I had the barrel installed elsewhere (Shuff's Parkerizing), so while it was there I had him do the park on those 2 parts.

In March of this year I picked up the following rifles from an estate sale of some hoarder guy who passed away. The family had many houses filled from floor to ceiling to contend with and just wanted to get rid of what they could. I got each of these for $50 Springfield M1 Garand (1945)...

Here are some parts I color case hardened. Parts to a Stevens Visible loader. I brought these polished clean parts up to 1800 degrees in a sealed stainless crucible, packed with bone charcoal and small strips of leather. I let it heat soak for about 4 hours then knocked the bottom off the...

7.62x25 will go 11 inches into ballistic gelatin AFTER going through a class II bullet resistant vest.

That's a lot of fondling and giggling.

No, it's not. I don't leave weapons in the car. That said, I have a life member sticker as well as a northeastshooters.com sticker.

No. Chrome is harder than the steel it's on. Ain't gonna happen.

A mint condition Smith And Wesson Model 52-2 with 2 magazines for $700 A FN Model 1951 army .30-06 for $75.00 An 1886 Winchester in .45-90 for $500 Maybe not Deal of a LIFETIME, but pretty OK.

Picking up a Clark built S&W model 52-2. I can't wait.

I'd like to make one as a project. Not sure I'd pay a lot more for an American made one though. The cheaper imported ones do exactly what they were designed to do and they do it well.. And cheaply. If you really want a 7.62x39 that does more, there are better platforms to build one on.

Bass fishing is not a right guaranteed under the constitution. There is a difference between the little woman objecting to you blowing huge amounts of money to catch fish and having a problem with your most basic rights in this country.

She is an immature, ignorant dolt. I will tell you this, one day she will get a wild hair across her ass and call the cops on you.. You will lose your guns and spend a kings ransom trying to get them back, if you ever do. I've seen it before. Take pictures of your guns because by seizure or by...

Get a new girl. Life is too short to convert folks who can't think sensibly.

I don't move when I sleep. I have my Firestar .45 next to my pillow and my phone next to it. I sleep on my back and I wake up in the same place, so the moving is never an issue.
