    Preserving an heirloom

    Someone I work with wanted to preserve the Hunting knife his father used and gave to him(Top). I had the honor of lightly restoring that knife and its well worn sheath. I then went one more step and made him the bottom knife and sheath. The blade is W2 full hardness and everything else is sole...

    Start of a new batch

    This is a slicer I made up for Thanksgiving. 1095 that was clayed and has a faint hamon but I liked the polised look better. Handle is ebony up front an sugar maple in the back bamboo skewer for a pin. I pooched the quench so the heal is a little soft. Still need some wood work and polish...

    Reliably feeding load for a 1911?

    Ok so last year I bought the fiancee a Tisas 1911 as an upgrade for her 45acp. The barrel, frame etc. where it feeds looks to have followed John Moses's original 1910 specs to the letter. My other 45acp guns will feed bricks (or SWC's) if I can get them into the case. This thing is real finicky...

    45ACP Carbine Suppressor

Yes the can will cost more than the host and I want a user serviceable suppressor. How much of a performance hit would I take putting that can on a Sig M17 ? Looks like...

    Shoot Point Blank/Range-USA ,show ID for non-Firearm purchases

    Just a heads-up and a toss your 2 cents worth in. I just picked up a couple of mags at Shoot Point Blank(now Range-USA) and I was asked for ID. I was a little slow on the uptake so I provided it then asked about the policy. I was told it was "for in-store use only for a rewards program". I was...

    AR cycling issue

    I picked up an A2 style AR with a 20" barrel from a local pawn shop lets call it close to dirt cheap. I like the accuracy I got out of it but it didn't cycle. The shop gunsmith took a crack at it and replaced the BCG group with a Nickel Boron one. It no cycles but not 100% of the time. He says...
