I just opened the box. It holds the finest hand made present I ever got. The Gunny sent me a beautiful signed 50 BMG cartridge which I will always treasure. It goes right on the mantle piece with pride. Made of wood on the Gunny's lathe, it has a fine smooth finish. Best of all it is SIGNED...

I needed a trip to the range so........... I decided to get out the old field grade M1 that "The Gunny" helped me with about a year ago. His formula for stock stain was used. After a years time stored in the CMP case in the basement I opened it to find the stock had darkened somewhat from the...

You may have been following my persuit of a perfect load for my TTC Tokarev. I've decided to slug my barrel. The 7.62x25 is supposed to be about .311" I did not have any soft lead balls of a similar caliber but I had Berry's plated lead 32 caliber 71 grain bullets. They are supposed to be...

I have one that would make a good paperweight. You can't get parts for some guns...Useless, You can't afford the cost of ammo for others.... Useless. Yours might kaboom if shot... Useless. Here's mine. Ammo is scarce and too expensive. I could not successfully reload for it. Barrel kits...

I sent my Smith back to the factory to work on a FTF problem. It was in the factory S&W case. On the bottom of the case (in picture) was a 3" diameter "TAURUS" sticker. That sticker had been on there for at least 2 years and was not meant to embarrass Smith or anyone, but just somewhere to...

Took my S&W 22A-1 to the range. With a plastic box of 100 rounds Remington Golden Bullet ammo. The gun had frequent FTF due to light firing pin strikes. All rounds did fire when given a 2nd. chance. I wrote S&W an e-mail about this. They responded that I should try a higher quality ammo...

Check it out- almost unbelieveable.........

Look at my split lock and load bushing. I was using my Lee Classic Cast press as a dedicated 223 press. It is parked at the end of one of my work benches. Last week I needed to move the die to my other press. The 223 die was frozen in the LNL. RUSTED IN. I soaked it in Kroil and used heat on...

Shopping for another Garand today,... my hopes were dashed! I figured the government had bou-cou Garands from the Philippines to rebuild and sell. Literally tons of mil-surp awaiting my loving refinishing and care. Did they melt em' down??

Since my eyes no longer work correctly (old age) I have been on a scope buying binge lately How can one make sure his freshly mounted rifle scope is properly aligned with the bore????(parallel) It makes sense to me that if the scope is cross-ways to the bore that the scope can be adjusted to...

Since I got the new 7.62x39 upper from the Bear Den (Bear Creek) I got worried about the wimpy 3 oz. buffer in my PSA lower kit beating the rifle to a pulp. Luckily I had a heavy 5 oz buffer in my parts box so my worries were over. Next I decided to price a new buffer in the 4 oz neighborhood...

So far the High Road virus has been infected me. I just put together my fourth AR platform in less than 2 years. The complete upper for this one came from the Bear Den and the lower was assembled as was others from parts with the help of the crew here at the High Road. Somehow I have...

I have to show you my new Xmas present. A used pistol from Aim Surplus. This was not what I expected from a "standard grade at $230. My pictures are not the best as I had no sunlight to work with. There is just a minute trace of holster wear on the edge of the slide, but the rest of the...

I always wanted one of these. You can't have too many guns. My wife had the dining room table set for a formal dinner so I could not take pictures there. We got forced outside in the snow.

I'm interested in one of the SKS rifles that need work. I understand that they are from the bottom of the commie barrel and have cracked/broken stocks and/or mechanical difficulties. If you have one please let me know how bad it is and what you had to do to get it working. Is it worth the $250...

My AR works fine and is accurate with my commie 1966 corrosive ammo. I am, however, getting sick and tired of turning the garden hose on it, during cleaning, and can't help flooding the lenses of the scope. (no scope leak yet) Drying it out is just another part of the job. I have a spam can of...

I ordered one last year (field grade) and liked it so much I re-ordered about 3 weeks ago a (service grade) rifle. I'm concerned about the turn around time now. Any info about when you ordered and when it got delivered to you will soothe my anticipation. I'm still waiting for the catsup to...

I have about 75 rounds of primed 50BMG brass that I am going to make dummy rounds from. The brass was all FL sized and primed before it was found it would not chamber in my gun. It was fired in a friends 50 rifle. His rifle has a sloppy chamber that allows the brass to expand about .005 right...

I have been infected by the AR build bug and it is starting to take a financial hold on my income. There are many on this web site who are responsible, but none so much as myself. You know who you are! I'm out to get us! :} Why are take-down hinge pin DETENTS so expensive???? The prices they...

Gunny made me do it. It’s all his fault. It started with his help in refinishing my CMP M1 stock last year. My gunsmith tells me “there is no pill you can take to cure this mental problem.” Then came the upgrading of the wallpaper in my computer room to Tiger Stripe Camo. Looks fine, but...
