    Looking for 'The One' EDC folding pocket knife

    First let me start off by apologizing - I generally dislike posts where someone asks everyone to do their legwork for them, but I've been looking for a while, and am not finding what I'm after. So I'm on the hunt for the perfect EDC folder for me. Things that I'm after: ~3" blade - a...

    Department store varieties of the Mossberg 500

    I'm looking to compile a list of all the different brand names and model numbers that Mossberg 500's were sold as in departments stores like Sears, Montgomery Wards, etc. I figure this would be some handy info for anyone looking to buy a used Mossberg 500 shotgun but may be able to find one...

    TLR-1 on AR railed gas block?

    I have a Streamlight TLR-1 that I was thinking of mounting on my AR-15 that has a railed gas block until I realized that the TLR uses plastic block adapters to fit various rails (1913, glock, beretta, etc). I know that things like the plastic Magpul flip-up sights aren't recommended for use...

    Marlin 120 shotgun parts compatibility

    I know this is a longshot, but hoping someone might be able to help out. I have a Glenfield 778 12 gauge shotgun - this is the department store variety of the Marlin 120, and are essentially the same gun (I know there are some small differences). I've heard the Marlin 120 was patterned...

    The most fantasically romantic forging videos ever

    I've been wanting to post these videos for a while now. I was going to add them to the Inside a Chinese sword factory thread as a way to show something that is essentially the exact opposite of that environment, but thought they'd be better showcased all by themselves. Axe Making...

    pic request: S&W airweight w/pearl or ivory grips

    Would like to see pics of a factory-finished S&W J-frame airweight, specifically a 637, with mother of pearl and/or ivory grips (faux or real), either magna or boot style. I'm hoping to see how the blue-grey painted finish on these alloy guns looks with these types of grips. The picture used...

    Refurbishing Red Ryder - tuning options?

    Going to be refurbishing Dad's old Red Ryder carbine, circa 1956, and the one I grew up shooting. It's in sad shape - the stock and forend are cracked/warped/melted, finish is mostly rubbed and chipped off in most places, and didn't shoot worth a crap anymore, the BB would only trickle out of...

    What's the deal with steel....?

    ...Ammo that is - whether steel core, or bi-metal jacketed, neither is permitted at two of my 'local' OUTDOOR ranges?!?! These places don't use (or even permit) steel targets, nor do they appear to use steel backstops, just your basic big berm of dirt. I just don't get it. What's the problem...

    Union Cutlery/Ka-Bar knife hatchet combo pics

    Just recently inherited a Union Cutlery/Ka-Bar knife and hatchet combo and thought I'd share some pics. For the majority of my life, this lived in a kitchen drawer in my parent's house after being handed down from my Grandfather to my Father. It was in pristine condition...

    AR: 1913 Picatinny out, Keymod in?

    So it seems the new 'in thing' for AR's are handguards with 'key mod' mount/attachment points instead of the long standard 1913 Picatinny. I have a few questions about this. First, is there a standard key mod style, or are the manufacturers each developing their own style? Second...

    Tighten pommel of stick tang knife

    Besides being redirected to bladeforum (or other site), does anyone have a recommendation on how to tighten the pommel on an old Marbles Woodsman knife that has a stick tang? Looking at the end, it appears that there is a brass insert holding the pommel on which may be threaded onto the tang -...

    Which holster material generates the least wear?

    All I've ever used are leather holsters, and we all know what a gun's finish looks like after living most of its live in a leather holster (perhaps glock's excluded). I'd like to get a holster for my S&W 5904 (round trigger guard) just so I can carry it when I'm at the range, or around the...

    New sights for an 870 with a ramped bead

    So I have a Rem 870 with a parkerized barrel with a ramped bead sight on it (as this is an Express model, I assume the bead is pressed/soldered and not screwed in). It's an HD shotty, but the bead just isn't doing it for me - I can barely see the thing. I know there's the option of painting...

    No sling studs on 870 Express HD?

    I bought a Remington 870 Express Synthetic HD model #25077 a few years back, and it didn't come with a sling stud in the stock, nor a swivel stud as part of the barrel/extended mag clamp. I've noticed some pictures of other's that seem to be the same. Did the HD model not come with them from...
