I am still a complete rookie and nowhere up to the standards of the fine makers I keep seeing on here and elsewhere, but I keep trying to learn and improve bit by bit. Of course with everything going on with an older house that needs some work, kids that have stuff going on and this god awful...

A while back I posted some pictures of my first meager attempt at knife building. Shortly after finishing that one I got busy and cut out 6-more blades of various shapes. Then they sat while life got in the way of finishing them. I finally got back to them and managed to finish two of them...

a piece of O1 steel that is 4" X 6" X 1/4" thick? I was lucky enough to get some scrap O1 a while back and I am currently working on 6 blades. They are all about ready for heat treating and I am left with one piece that I am not sure what to do with. With all the other pieces, I was able to...

Any Info on "White" Brand Knives - Pictures Added My father has an old knife that is simply marked "White" on the blade near the handle (ricasso?) It is a "survival" type knife and appears to be pretty darn well made. Can't seem to find anything on the internet. I will try to get him to get...

I've been reading several of the knife making threads and it has rekindled my desire to try my hand at knife making. I have thought about it several times in the past, but it seems other projects and the details of life took precedence. I finally decided to get one done and see if I...

Just opened a new box of Federal Hydra-Shok and in the first row was a bad round. Now I know I am not the most experience one out there but I have not seen this before. http://i253.photobucket.com/albums/hh76/Fergy35/Federal%20Premium%20Round/IMG_0295.jpg Just glad I saw it and didn't...

I did a search , but didn't come up with anything on these particular units. I was at a local store yesterday and came across one of these: [URL="http://www.discounthomeoffice.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=501"] It is on clearance for $470.00. They also had the...

the Rock River Arms tactical carry handle. I plan on getting an Aimpoint or an Aimpoint style red dot sight to mount on my RRA AR-15. The rifle came with the RRA tactical carry handle, which was supposedly designed to be used with the Aimpoint type sights. Seems like all of the mount...

Looking at the Kobra red dot sight and thinking of using it on a flat top AR. I did a quick search, but did not turn anything up. So I thought I would ask. Even if it's not on an AR does anyone have any thought on them. It looks like they are pretty well made, but that based on pictures...

Does anyone know if the upcoming Indy 1500 is one of their bigger shows or will it be held in the smaller building?

I just bought a case (1,100) rounds of the copper washed Chinese 7.62 X 39 ammunition. One tin of 550 is still unopened, the other was opened, by the previous owner, who shot some of it. Only a few of the strippers are missing so I guess it's a little less than 1100 rounds. I checked it with a...

I am going to look at a Mauser 3000 in 30.06, that is at an estate sale this weekend. I tried to do a search here on THR and did a quick search on google. I'm not turning much up. I don't know if this is a $1000 rifle or a $100 rifle. Obviously condition dictates a lot, but I am looking for a...

So here I am with the thought that a Colt 6721 Tactical Carbine brand new in the box and left that way might be a good investment. For a shooter, I would probably get a RRA, but I'd leave the Colt packed away. I am hopping some of you might be able to guide me before I spend my money. What do...

I have been talking with someone that is trying to sell a 1911. It was advertised as an excellent condition Colt 1911. First off, I am pretty new to the vast array of 1911's out there (guns in general for that matter). When I got there to look at it, I found it to be a mixture of a Colt slide...

As of yet I do not have a 1911 of my own, but I am looking at using a set of screws for another project. I will need to get a proper sized tap if I don't already have one. Can someone tell me what size the standard grip screws are for a 1911? I have been searching for the last couple days...

Is anyone familiar with the Lapua 7.62X39 ammunition. I know Lapua is generally quite good stuff, but I am used to seeing the typical Wolf debates in this caliber. Anyone use it? How much does it typically run? I have an idea of the pricing for Wolf steel cased stuff, but don't have a...

Hello all, just found a 1950 Russian SKS with 1,557 rounds of ammunition, sling, cleaning kit etc. Have not had the chance to look it over yet. They are asking $495 for it with the ammunition. How does that sound? I know ammunition has jumped recently, and the Russian SKS's are typically...

I just saw and add in a local trader type paper for a post ban Colt AR-15 with a Colt made scope. The add is not specific beyond that. I have wanted an AR for quite some time now and this one sounds like a pretty fair deal. I figure even a post ban Colt with a Colt scope on it is worth a...

OK so I am still in the "just getting started" stage. I am looking to add an AR style, probably in the M4 config. I have been looking at the Bushmasters, the DPMS' and the Rock River brands. I don't think I'm ready to build one yet. Just assume buy it at this point. So the question is...
