Shotshell loaders just seem to be spendy in general. I have recently looked at a tooling kit for my Ponsness Warren duomatic and was hoping to buy the tooling for 16ga but A. It’s not available and B. If it was available just a box of tools would be $400 or more. I could probably make most of...

Kinda, as in is it useful to a knife maker. I have no use for it and want to send it somewhere that it would be useful and appreciated.

I have some d2 (written on billet in sharpie) that I found and I’m trying to figure out what to do with it. I was hoping to use it in my baby lathe but A. My machine can’t handle a piece this size, and B. I’m not skilled enough yet to work with a metal like this. Would this be useful to knife...

There are other options as good as a 365 but I doubt you find anything demonstratably better. My initial thought for racking ease is a beretta 92 type gun but then your giving up at least 30 years of technological advancement, getting a bigger, heavier pistol, and really not gaining anything for...

So far all i have heard is grumbling about if selling a privately owned gun makes you fit the bill of “in the business of selling”. I fully expect a universal background check law to take effect at some point, but I would hope that they do it above the table instead of sneakily changing...

Tark, brother you are always helping folks out whether it’s info, stuff, or just the right picture at the right time. Thank you!!!

That would make me unbelievably perturbed if they took your story and photos of your gun, and published it without your knowledge let alone your consent. Especially if they embellished your happiness with the finished product.

Is that a 10/22 carbine folding sight on there? I admire function even at the expense of aesthetics, but there wasn’t much effort on this one.

I have several guns too impractical to carry. I have several too valuable (sentimental) to carry. I have some that just don’t get carried because I have better options. This question posed in the thread seems kinda strange, and I feel like it could be worded differently to get better response...

My grandfathers got me started, but that’s way over simplifying things. When each grandson was about 4 my dad’s dad brought home a nice but affordable rifle for the grandsons. The girls got cast iron toy stove sets. (This was the 80s so somewhat collectible but not necessarily exciting for...

.380 Ammo, dies, bullets… wife got a Glock 42 a long time back when she could still get blue label guns (EMS) and she started to go shooting with me. I tooled up and put together the test loads, shot those myself, then assembled the first 100 reloads that were not test loads. That box still...

I had 2 Kimbers at about the same time. Custom 2 and I think they called the other a pro-carry or something similar. The full size gun was fine. The carry gun was problematic to a point I got frustrated and sold both just to be rid of the kimber curse. In all my escapades I don’t recall anybody...

She’s a 1912 production gun by serial.

The photos I was sent when the rifle was offered in trade… these are quality photos, no junk cell phone pics like I have.

It’s exactly the same height as my 12yr old daughter. She needs to hit a growth spurt.

At least I think that this is a K11. It’s definitely Swiss and 7.5x55 Schmidt Rubin. Every part has matching numbers and the only damage I have found on it is one of the Bakelite knobs on the bolt handle has a small amount cracked off of the base where the screw goes through. Geez the Swiss were...

I had a pt99 and it was a really good one from 82 and traded it off to get the “better gun” made by beretta. I miss that original one I had as it was the best one I ever had, but I have had about a dozen of them over the years trying to find one close to what that first one was. The one I have...

Just purely as an excercise of thought, imagine the level of industry needed to facilitate a gunsmiths shop. Iron, coal, brass, wood, gunpowder. Even if the gunsmith was nothing more than a basic blacksmith with a little abnormal ability. The industry of mining, refining, manufacturing and...

I don’t own enough 3” revolvers. 30-1 is probably the prettiest. I just got an INA that’s pretty remarkable on looks though, and then there’s the junky old Arminius 22lr that does pretty good on the range except for 1 chamber that’s not timed exactly right. My Wrangler is mighty fine too. J...

I’d be proud of that one. It’s seen some stuff and still cleaned up pretty stinking good.
