Yeah, the trick is to not get the temp higher than the temp of the solder holding the front sight onto the barrel. But you need to get (at least the tip of) the front sight hot enough for the solder you are adding to adhere. It is easy to remove or discolor the bluing when you do this, and...

I've read a lot on the "Indian Wars" era, and the cavalry of the late 19th C definitely considered the saber to be their main weapon. There is a lot of discussion, for example, on the decision to crate the sabers in the 7th Cav for their expedition against the Sioux in 1876. I think a lot of...

Yeah, you can find them elsewhere for less money. However, there were only 14 million (IIRC from T Lapin's book) made so that is only one for every 200 US citizens (approximate number), and we know that not every 91/30 was brought to the US for sale. And we know that some folks own a bunch...

38super.net has a good article on this cartridge. There used to be a 9x23.com but now it links to a pretty much empty page. For those posting above that think it might be similar to 9 Largo, you might want to read up on what is being discussed. It seems like a great cartridge on paper, but I...

Maybe your post came a lot earlier in the auction, but right now one auction is up to $555, the other has a $550 reserve, and neither auction is over. What I don't understand is why a mini would go for so close to the price of a basic AR15. In my experience, even basic AR's are much more...

There is another post on this that is active right now. I'd read the other thread too to get all the input. I'm not typing all that stuff again. The Army's test is destructive if the receiver is brittle. If it is a good receiver I think it survives the test? Since for 99% of us, 99% of...

OP you did not state the manufacturer. I'm guessing SA but maybe it is a good question to ask. Get a copy of Hatcher's Notebook and read the chapter re: this issue. What I gather from reading that book and others is that the SN range is approximate and is intended to be outside the range...

cold blue. easier to apply and will be harder to rub off.

Always a good idea to call and ask, but yes a large ring Turk is a standard length 98 action. The one problem you may encounter with a Turk variant is the thin ring extending forward on the receiver front face for securing the back end of the handguard. That is common on a few variants so...

With a .140 hole you might be a little oversized for a #8. But a little undersized for a 10-24. Are you sure there is not already Loctite in the hole? There are very few threads engaging on an ejector rod screw and a lot of folks use Loctite for this very same part, then get the bottom...

If it is pressed checkering it is way harder to chase with a single point tool than to cut fresh new checkering. You would be better off removing via sandpaper and then refinishing, then checkering a new pattern. I have never tried cutting over laser checkering. Sounds like it might be...

If you have stripped threads then you will be picking the new screw size and pitch. Finding info on the original screw might be interesting, but in the end I'm not sure what good it would do. From your original post I think you already know this. You can look in a machinery handbook or do a...

The issue the OP raised was of the attempt to "black list" an entertainer because of their political views. That is my concern, and if we start trying to determine how we feel personally about any particular person getting hit by this we are all going to end up on the losing end. There seems...

Worst case you can strip the stock again, just like you did before. I've stripped a stock a second time when I wasn't happy with the results.

I hope it turns out to be a good experience for your Hubby. I have a friend who was offered a job working for them a few years ago. It was good money but basically it seemed like they wanted someone to hold a license for them. Think on that for a moment. The other problem my friend had...

Wouldn't 40 yrs ago have been an A1? Check out NoDak Spud for A1 parts. Per your description I would stick with a 5.56, as that is the original caliber for an AR, will match the rifle (ballistically and style-istically) you are seeking to match, and it has the best all-around flexibility...

Doesn't the M&P have a front sight dovetail? I believe they make different height front sights for those. Also, it has to be said, shooting low with a pistol is usually a symptom of flinching. Try dry fire at the range before you switch to live ammo, as well as loading a dummy cartridge into...

Maybe sounds like a SW9M. The previous incarnation of the "Sigma". Try a search on SW9M and see if you see familiar looking stuff.

It looks like an FEG. Someone removed the markings off the slide, and it has been reblued. Look at the waviness there the flat meets the curve all across the length of the slide. An FEG in really nice condition goes for about...wait...I'll let you do a search on gunbroker and find out for...

So this is a device that adds another way for a firearm to fail to operate. Fantastic. Because that's what I want, more hurdles to the safe and efficient use of a life saving tool. If someone offered a fire extinguisher for sale with this technology, or required a "watch" before airbags would...
