    Reloading Sig hybrid 6.8x51 cases

    Creating a new thread here since this is more relevant in the reloading section. I got some new pulled 6.8x51 sig hybrid cases to play with and have been working on reforming them into 308 and handloading them. I cut one in half to make a section view. If you haven’t heard this is the Army’s...

    Lithgow bolt action, removable locking lug insert

    I picked up Lithgow LA102 in 308 the other day. I have an LA101 in 17 HMR and love it so I wanted to try the centerfire big brother. Looking in the owners manual I saw in the parts diagram that the locking shoulder is a separate piece pressed into the receiver and clocked with a roll pin...

    6.8x51 sig hybrid case section view.

    I got some 6.8x51 sig hybrid cases from American Reloading to play with. I cut one in half to make a section view. If you haven’t heard this is the Army’s new boondoggle to spend all our money on. Uses a hybrid brass and stainless steel case to handle 80k psi chamber pressure. I thought I...

    Did smith and wesson ever make a 3" j frame in 38 with adjustable sights?

    Did smith and wesson ever make a 3 inch J frame in 38 special with adjustable sights? What model? I've always wanted a 3" model 60 but with a 38 only cylinder.

    Revolver Alternative Facts

    I stumbled on this article this morning as I was trying to remember the name of the ratchet on the rear of a revolver cylinder. Probably written by bad AI. I thought you guys would get a good laugh at the stupidity. https://thegunzone.com/what-turns-the-cylinder-on-a-revolver/

    Blowback vs Delayed Blowback recoil impulse 9mm

    Continuing the discussion from the S&W Response thread, I made the video below this morning to show the difference of a straight blowback vs a delayed blowback 9mm and talk about the sight disruption and reduced noise when shooting suppressed. Let's hear your thoughts for anyone that has shot...

    Improved slide to barrel fit with cerakoting. LCP 22

    I’ve been tinkering with this LCP 22 for a bit and just wanted to share this little anecdotal experience. When I bought this pistol it shot high and right by a lot so I filed the rear sight down to correct the elevation and filed the left side of the front sight to correct the windage. I...

    Did taurus ever make a 4" small frame 38 with adjustable sights?

    Hey guys. I have a Taurus 941 in 22 magnum that I am really really fond of except for one thing. I don't really have much use for 22 magnum. Would much rather have a 38. I know this is built on the same frame as a model 85, but I've done a bit of looking and don't see a model 85 in either a...

    What is this part? S&W 629

    I have a friend that does cerakoting for me and I brought this 629 to him about 6 months ago, and he ended up going through a rough divorce before he finished. I told him to take however much time he needed. He finished up the last of the parts yesterday and I’m getting the parts all back in...

    Best glock 40 S&W mags?

    I am not a glock guy and I doubt I ever will be so I’ll defer to the group on this one. I have a keltec sub 2000 in 40 S&W and I have a polymer 80 I want to build out as a 40 as well, so I need to buy a few glock 22 compatible mags. I use magpul pmags in my 9mm polymer 80 and PSA dagger with...

    Kel Tec Sub 2000 40 S&W review

    I’ve kind of rediscovered how much I like 40 S&W in the past 6 month and wanted to add a 40 PCC to the collection. I stumbled on a sub 2000 on sale for $344 shipped plus they have a $100 mail in rebate right now so that was a deal I couldn’t resist. I got it today and it is pretty much is what...

    22 lr from a 22 magnum revolver

    I’m not condoning the practice but I’ve always wondered how well 22 lr from a 22 magnum revolver would shoot. For those that don’t know, 22 lr uses a heeled bullet so the case is the same size as the bullet, but 22 mag has the bullet seated down inside the brass, so the diameter of a 22 mag...

    400 Legend cartridge sneak peak

    These guys built a 400 legend upper based off the saami specs released a couple months ago and wildcatted some brass to get it shooting. I'm into wildcat AR's and hunting caliber AR's so I've been pining for a 40 caliber AR for years now. I have a 358 Yeti and this december I bought a 350...

    Ruger wrangler loose barrel

    The thread about the super wrangler got me thinking about mine so I took it out today to shoot it a bit. I was confused to find I had to hold way right to hit anything and it seamed to be getting worse. Pretty soon I was holding like a foot right to hit at 15 ish yards. I was certain that...

    Taurus 44 mag tracker, better than my S&W 69

    I am a fan of 5 shot 4” revolvers. My favorite being my 4.2” SP101 357 mag. So when Smith and Wesson announced the model 69 44 mag built on the L frame I knew instantly I needed to have one. You ever see a gun that you just know you are going to love the first time you see it? Well I knew I...

    POF Tombstone in the wild

    My local shop had a POF tombstone in stock so I fondled and took some pictures of things I thought were notable. Couple things that first stood out to me is that the finish on the forend and receiver were way different in color and the barrel exterior had heavy rough machining marks. Racking...

    Powder for fireballs from 45/70 handgun?

    I got a 10" Thompson Center Contender barrel yesterday and got it setup to shoot today. My whole reason for getting it is basically as a fun range gun that I thought people would get a kick out of loaded to give big fireballs out the muzzle brake. I figured the big inefficient 45/70 case...

    My everything rifle build, Tikka 375 ruger all weather

    I thought I would show my build progress on my Tikka that I've been working on for the last couple weeks. Firstly I want to start off by saying that I am well aware that my shop is filthy and I am working with the bubba-ist tools imaginable. I've been working as an engine builder, machinist...
