Alright so, I've had a project in mind for a few years now, finally at a point in life where i can possibly begin work on it. I want to replicate a gun from the game/ book series Metro 2033, lovingly called the Bastard. In the game its a hand made "SMG" known for over heating and jamming, hence...

alright so i finally got the 300 blackout iv been dieing after ever since i read up on the caliber. i have hornady dies, a pound of h110, some converted and unconverted 223 brass, and some spare 180 grain boat tails. the problem is, i dont yet have a good reloading manual, the one iv used is...

i purchased a cenury AES-10 (the older, lighter version) from the local gun shop. the gun is in pretty good shape considering what iv heard about these builds with one exception: the gas block is canted a little to the left. its just enought to notice, but it doesnt effect the guns function at...

so i love revolvers. love love love them. 18 and iv iv loved them as long as i can remember. to own a 357 maximum revolver is a very high goal for me. anyway, without rambling on TOO much more, i was poking around the net and discovered that Taurus has an 8 shot 357 magnum (the model 608). my...

so yeah, as the title implies, im getting started on loading for the 44 magnum. my sister will be recieving an interarms virginian dragoon 44 mag single action with i believe a 7 inch barrel. i got a mold from the local gun shop, for 310 grain round-nose flat-points.i havent been able to find...

so my friend got a 9mm hi point carbine. i heard somewhere that modern 9mm loads are geared more towards short pistol barrels than for carbine and rifle barrels. i had the idea of loading some 9mm with a slower burning powder, to get more power and hopefully range out of the longer barrel. i...

so a buddy of mine got a ODI Viking combat double action converted 1911, and it runs fmjs without a hitch, but when he bought some all lead handloads (they were half the price at the shop) every single one jams. the edge of the barrel, i suppose you would say the feed ramp, bites into the lead...

this is mostly a achedemic curiosity. i was bored and had my new rossi 971 out, started rummaging through my ammo collection to see what besides 357mag and 38spec would chamber. the two i had chamber were 25-20 and 38 super. this lead me to wonder, what all could you shoot if you had to through...

so i took my recently aquired Lee Enfield SMLE no1 mk3 SMLE rifle from 1913 apart for the first time, and i noticed some pretty bad damage that had been repaired a loooong time ago, and is failing again. would it be worth while to replace it? heres the pics

I just today became the happy owner of a Lee Enfield SMLE mk3. i also got 300+ rounds of some surplus ammo with it. i had some questions on both the rifle itself and the ammo. as far as the rifle goes, i know they were issued with sword style bayonets. the ones iv seen cost a pretty penny. so im...

im working on a mini 14 a friend recently purchased. its one of those 200th year of american liberty rifles, so its fairly old. the problem it keeps seeming to have is the bolt likes to lock open occasionally during firing. i dont know alot about high powered semi auto rifles yet, so i cant...

welp, as with anyone it pains me to admit my failures, but here it is. iv got this shotgun, a single shot, about as beat up of a junker as you can get. when i got it it was rusty, had no firing pin, a broken ejector, no foregrip, the stock was cut off to a pistol grip, and the end of the barrel...

so, a friend asked me take a look at her pistol, a bryco jennings 9, to clean it and see if i could find a replacement rear sight (right half is broke off). the moment i felt it in my hand i knew it was a saturday night special, but i didnt realize how bad till i looked it up. i guess my...

aright, so i just started casting for my 38 sp. i have a lee 158 grain round nose flat point mold. i tumble lube using lee alox and then powder with mica. iv loaded a batch of 50 and fired them, no problems, no overpressure signs. after i seat the bullets i run them through my case resizing die...

alright guys, as the title suggests im going to start building my own AR-15. this is for a couple reasons, mainly pricing and the fact that i just like to put things together. for right now, im focusing on finding a well built, good priced stripped lower. iv heard some that the receivers dont...

ok, so iv got a llama martial in 38, i havent shot it yet (just picking it up tomorrow but handled it alot over the past few weeks) and i wanted to get another set of larger rubber grips. iv tried a couple at the shop, and they fit almost perfectly, almost... one will work but is a little lose...

hey everyone. so i got a boxfull of misc cartridges from my boss at the local gunshop while i was cleaning the backroom, since he knows i collect different cartridges. in the box was a bag of what i believe are handloaded 38 specials, because the bullets are the same and cast but the brass...

i had a curiosity. since 9mm and 38 spec are the same caliber, would it possible to take a 9mm, use a bullet puller to pull out the bullet, empty the powder into a dish, and deprime the live primer, and use the materials to reload a 38 spec? as i said im mostly just curious, since this probley...

so, i will soon be in possesion of said revolver. im kinda an apprentice in the local gun shop, and as payment for my grunt labor my boss has given me some reloading supplies. since there isnt much for powder around here, im trying to make what i can get work. i have a usable can of herco, and a...

so toady i was working at the local gun shop, organizing in the back room, when i stumbled upon a ammo can full of boxes of 5 round clips of a large cartidge. nobody knowing what it was, my boss sent a clip home with me for research, and they turned out to be 8x56R. of the rounds on the clip, 1...
