And so on... I decided, late last night, that I'll have to make up a jig, probably of my own design (then, perhaps I can take out an Ad in Guns & Ammo magazine saying "Got any old Sentinel revolvers laying around in a bag? Send them to me, and for $50, I'll reassemble them for you!" (hey...

I happened to read in an earlier THR post that disassembly of one of these cheap little revolvers is certanly easy enough, but the real test comes in re-assembly. Question: is there perhaps an experienced gunny out there that can just "pop" this thing back together for me? I pay well!! Ha...

An untapped local market, apparently! Wow! Right about now, as our tenuous socio-economic "sitch" degrades before our very eyes, I'd love to be able to just go out and purchase, on the American side of our strong southern border, a few Stingers, an RPG or five, a full-auto Thompson and and...

Send Chuckles a personal message! While it's a useless gesture, I still went just now to Schumer's website and sent my dear friend (snort... gag... barf...) Chuckie a carefully worded e-mail. I know, I know; one of his panting lap-dog staffers, some dewy-arm-pitted co-ed who just loves the...

Alternate scenarios! The urban myth used to be that the .357 Magnum, with it's high levels of penetration, would and could "easily" penetrate an engine block. As a retired automotive engineer, I can attest to the current thin walls in modern lightweight cast engine blocks, and that they are...

Good response, and my own "event"... Good story, and timely for me as well. specifically, I was in downtown Yakima, Washington, a hotbed of gang activity and many gun violence incidents every month (see the news three days ago about the woman techer who was shot dead as she was waiting in a...

(NOTE: I have also posted this thread on another forum here on THR (gunsmithing) because I'm hoping to find some help ASAP, and I really hope someone here can help! Thanks, mods!) I'm a gunsmith in central WA St, and recently took in a job on a used .25 auto pistol that will not fire, will...

I'm a gunsmith in central WA St, and recently took in a job on a used .25 auto pistol that will not fire, will not pick up a new round out of the original magazine (because the slide does not cycle far enough back I think) and won't fire the round even if I manually place a round into the...

Red Dots & Battery Life Some of them (ATN, Burris & Leupold for example) turn themselves off. The Leupold has a motion sensing turn-on feature (wonderful!) as well as auto-off. The Bee's Knees, if you ask me! As to batt life, a good lithium-ion batt should power that little red dot for many...

There yah go! BTW, is there a forum on THR dealing with air rifles?

Given the potential for damage using the wrong size or tip style, it seems to me to be a bar-goon to buy the big Brownell's set, which I have. Of course, I'm also a gunsmith, but hey; I've had their set for over 25 years, only had to replace one tip due to breakage and one because of a...

Alternative to a "custom cut" cost.... You can also use an electric knife (I actually saw one of these in our local housewares store recently, new, for about v$14.00. Or, better idea, buy a used one at your local Goodwill store for about $3. Then, trace out the shape you want and carve away...

Picked up one of these, it had the recall done (else it won't fire reliably). It has a pretty good 2-stage trigger, and seems to be relatively accurate with good factory loads (shoots bout 1.25" @ 100 meters). But... it needs a basic optical sight. It has a machined recess on the left side...

Zing! Here's a famous YouTube showing a smarty shooting a 50BMG at a steel plate... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YLTvUNn3Suo Ooops! THEN they make the right decision, after the fact..... Darwin Awards anyone?

Hello to all you other newbie guys. As to handgun options, try a Springfield Armories XD(M). 45ACP is coming soon I've heard. Pretty awesome, and the takedown is amazing. It's what our boys in the ME should be carrying! Welcome!

I apply Dura-Coat™ and have removed old coats of it with a commercial paint stripper. The stuff is NOT bulletproof, so to speak, and will come off when immersed in the right solvent/stripper. Now, if the slide is "plastic", you'd perhaps have to be careful. Call Lauer Custom Weaponry...

Keep 'em safe! As a pro gunsmith over the years I have relied on a Browning/Pelican two rifle case many times when traveling by car to shows or events. But mine is one of the pre-wheeled and pre-spring-out handled versions and it IS surely a bear to lug around, esp. with two rifles inside and...

Just Joined! I'm happy to have found this forum. Topics and discussions near and dear to my heart. I "fled" the socialist country to our North (Canada) about 26 years ago and as soon as I could became a legal immigrant, naturalized citizen. No sneaking under a fence or burrowing through a...
