I'm still a beginner, but Wanted to make a thread to show what I've completed. Tried to get some better pictures. These are what I've completed so far. All are stock removal, all 440c. Different styles and handles. Just playing around to practice and learn. This one has cedar handle...

It's a little rough, but it's made to be a worker knife, not a case queen. The accidental knick on the top edge really pissed me off when it happened, lol. 440c with Purpleheart handle. Just something simple to work on and practice.

Who does everyone use for their NFA engraving?

Ok, I'm getting very close to pulling the trigger on a good grinder set up, but wanted to get more input on choices. I was going to try the Grizzly, since I'm a noob, but I have approval from the CFO to get a nicer set up. I don't know if I can get full approval for a $2,000 KMG. So here...

Post up some pics of the knives that you've made. I think it would be cool to have the pics all in one thread. I love looking at some of the work ya'll do.

How are you guys using leaf springs as knife material? Heating it, flattening it and tempering?

I just got my stamps for two suppressors, got them in just under 7 months. Paper filed in Feb. Can't wait to play with them!

Just started knife making. Just making handles on store bought blade blanks, but I've gotten tools to start cutting and grinding my own blades now. Where are some good places for low cost blade steel? Especially for someone still learning the craft. Then the heat treating questions will...

Any advice on how to make a simple grinding jig? I just started making my own handles on blade blanks, and I'm having a lot of fun with it. but I'd really like to grind my own blade. How would a noob start grinding? Just do it by hand? Build a simple block jig?

I know, it's a cheap gun. But it's for a buddy who got it as a keepsake from his grandfather. And he wants to keep it around, in proper working order. The firing pin in one of the barrels does not function. I've looked all over the interweb to find parts, and can't seem to find anything...

Shot my first IDPA match last night. I sucked, but it was fun. Need to read up on the rules and learn the little things that matter. Learned some tactics for more accurate shooting, etc. First run through was nerve racking for sure, my hands were shaking after, but it was awesome...

Any of the Houston area folks involved with a good group of defensive shooters? I'm interested in joining a group to learn basic skills, etc. Not anything that will intimidate and turn me off from the group shooting scene. I really want to start IDPA or something similar, but I'd like to...

Everything I currently own is a compact, I'd like to get something full size to really start learning the proper mechanics of shooting. I've sold off all my Glocks, I wanted to move away from .40 and focus on 45acp and 9mm mostly. I have several Xd's, but the largest frame that I have is...

There are so many threads on the gougers. Can we get a decent list together of the sites that we are supporting? Let's take into consideration, price, and customer service. I'd like a good comprehensive list of the vendors out there that are not gouging, and continue to give them our...

Well, I bought my first rifle. I've always been a handgun guy, but I want to start rifle target shooting for fun. I'm planning on 200 yards for now. That's the longest at our range. I'm a noob when it comes to rifles, so I need some direction. I bought a Savage Axis .308. It came with a...

Trying to find a Good scope for a Scar 308. Trying to find something to match the dark earth finish on the rifle. Really no cost limit (within reason), and should be good for a range of about 200 yards. This will be a range rifle I'm guessing. Possibly more, but to make it easy, we'll say...

Just started reloading 45 ACP. Made a few test rounds, and went out Sunday to try them out. All of them failed to fire through my new XD. Each one had a primer strike, but none actually fired. The dimple looked a little shallow, but I didn't have anything to compare it to, so it might have...

I'm looking into trying to get my FFL. I basically want it for personal use, save money on my own purchases and make a few bucks when I have the chance. My question is, can you get a FFL for your own use? The ATF website says it is for business purposes only. Can you list your home address...

Just started reloading 9mm, and we are having hell with them. Basically, they are jamming in my XD-9 (3.8). They are jamming so badly, we have to use a screwdriver to pull the extractor back, to get the slide to even move back. When we rack the slide back, the bullet actually gets stuck in...
