Used it in 6.8 and .223 I found that it worked quite well in a new 6.8 barrel to reduce copper fouling, and it was accurate also in a 24" target .223 AR

RCModel: I succeeded in getting the Gold Cup apart and discovered a bulged barrel, with no other apparent damage. Barrel bushing looks fine. Which areas should I examine under magnification to assure that all else is undamaged? Who provides the best aftermarket solution for a new...

Too bad indeed. I should have been more diligent in doing my homework. Looking more closely at the bit of barrel that is visible near the chamber end, it is clear that new scars can be seen on the top outside surface of the barrel. This appears to confirm the diagnosis of a broken and...

Thanks much RC. Going down the list of posssibilities you identified: 1. Nothing in chamber and barrel is clear. 2. I have not experienced any squib or stuck bullets in the past. 3. I do recall that a collet barrel busing is installed rather than a solid bushing. 4. My lightweight...

To any 1911 guru: My beloved Colt Series 70 Gold Cup froze up at the range this week: The slide and barrel locked together part way back during recoil. They will move slightly (1/32") as a unit along the slide rails, but will not separate. The bushing will not turn so I am unable to get it...

I have looked for some time and have been unable to locate any load data for using Alcan's AL5 powder with 150-155 gr. jacketed bullets. Does anyone here have such experience? Thanks for any help.

BHP Hammer-Follow Follow-up RCModel: I have regularly valued the input that you have offered to many prior posters. On this question, the hammer follow event has only occured in my most recent range session and then only les than ten times. Does this indicate that the sear and/or hammer is...

Hi and thanks in advance for help On a late-70's era Browning Hi Power, to varying degrees with different ammo, the hammer ocasionally drops down to the half-cocked position after cycling a new round into the chamber. I was told by the person who sold it to me that some "work" had been...

To address light strikes in a Colt Light Rifle 30.06, I want to replace the firing pin spring with a stronger Wolff spring. Can anyone here coach me on the proper technique for disassembling the bolt to get to the spring? I understand that the bolts are essentially the same as those from Ultra...

Does anyone have experience with this handgun? I am looking at a used one that has no magazines, and would love to hear from knowledgeable folks about its acuracy, reliability, availability of magazines, and fair price range. Thanks for the help
