    Gas block on an AR 15

    Is there any way to make sure that you have the gas block exactly positioned in the correct spot before you touch off a round? I recently changed out my stock handguard with a different one that required a low profile gas block that locks on with set screws and I'd prefer to know it is correct...

    Still no gunsmith but I am darned persistant

    I found the freaking plunger!!!! It was not in the last place I looked or not really. I had looked there numerous times, just didn't see the thing hiding. I knew it hit me in the chest and fell into my lap but from there I lost sight of it. Never made it to the floor so all the crawling around...

    I am not a gun smith!

    I used to get up each morning, look in the mirror and say, "I am not a gun smith!" Served me well for years, mostly. Sometimes late in the day I would forget. This seemed to be one of those days. While working on a 1911 I lost the safety plunger, twice. Found it the first time but the second...

    WinClean 244 Thoughts

    Anyone using Winchester 244 for multiple handgun loads? I am only interested in users of WinClean244 and their comments about the same. I know there are other powders out there and at this time am not interested in them. Normally I use WST for most loads and make up what’s left with W231...

    Is Your Hornady Lock N Load AP Not Seating Primers Deep Enough?

    If you have a LNL press and the priming assembly does not seat the primers as deep as you like, try this. Remove the priming assembly and carefully dissemble it making sure you do not lose the little spring or C clip. Sand or file the bottom of the nut so the plunger is able to be pushed...

    Duracoat Handguns

    This may have been done but I can't find it bunched together. If it already has been, point me to it. I would love to see some before and after pictures of some of your handguns that you have redone with DuraCoat, or other finishes. I would prefer Handguns and would also prefer to see what you...

    Just Roll With It Baby!

    Just Roll With It Baby! Recoil! Burn this into your brain. Most of what people think of as recoil is actually muzzle blast. With proper eye and ear protection, muzzle blast will not hurt you. Think of checking your car’s oil and someone slips up and blows the horn. You most likely will jump...

    Ultrasonic Cleaning With Spent Primer In Brass

    Does anyone clean their handgun brass in an ultrasonic cleaner with the spent primer still in the pocket, and if so how clean does the cleaner get the primer pocket? I know alot of folks don't worry about PP cleanliness and if that's your thing, so be it. I like my PPs clean. Recently started...

    Just What Does LNIB Mean?

    I see ads for guns listing them as LNIB after they have been shot as much as 100 times. I thought LNIB meant it was NEW. How many rounds can one fire through a gun and still call it LNIB?

    Taurus 24/7 OSS Tactical Range Report, Sort of

    Picked up a new Taurus 24/7 OSS tactical .45 ACP, 5.25” bbl in stainless steel a couple of days ago. There are 4 other .45s here including a Glock 30, Sig P220, Taurus PT145 and a Ruger P90. The Ruger feeds everything but all the others balk occasionally with SWC loads. The OSS had slight feed...
