What is the difference between a brake, compensator, and a flash hider? Looking at YHM's selection, they offer a few different types that look nearly the same: http://www.yankeehillmachine.com/store/muzzle.html

Before I start, I need to extend a HUGE thank you to Sean in Michigan for the stocks and to Jamie in Nebraska for use of his workshop. Without them, this would have never been accomplished. I asked a few weeks ago if anyone makes an M1 youth stock. Apparently no one does. The stock is...

Recommend a grind to fit pad. Reducing felt recoil isn't the issue. This will be a finishing piece for a cut-down M1 stock. I want something easy to work with that'll look decent when it's done. I have access to a bench grinder, belt sander, and misc. power tools. Thanks in advance!

I need a few miscellaneous stock parts for an M1, stuff like buttplates, screws, ferrule, swivels, etc. What are some sources for this? I was considering Fulton Armory and Numrich. Who else?

I've recently come into possession of some milsurp stocks and need to clean the gunk off them. I've done it in the past with numerous rags and such, but I think it's time for better living through chemistry. How would I go about making a tube big enough to contain a rifle or shotgun stock...

What sling size is appropriate for a youth who is around 5'2"? The rifle is an M1. Thanks!

My Frankford Arsenal tumbler died. It was humming along and then just stopped. Any ideas what I should check before I chuck it? I was thinking the switch is dead or possibly where the cord connects to the motor. Of course, it's two months out of warranty.

I tried sighting in my Garand yesterday at 100 yards. A friend spotted for me and I'm going through ammo... "Bring it up...closer. You're low again... closer. Good. Uh oh, low again." Jeez. Then, after going through maybe 4 or 5 clips, I notice that the elevation knob is clicking itself...

Mods, apologies if this is OT... For those who are unaware, eBay and Live.com are running a cashback promotion. Details are here: http://www.jobrelatedstuff.com/forums/topic.html?b=3&f=18&t=388117 The linked thread has more details. The percentage varies... some folks got 25%, right now...

My new SP-01 is working nicely. I had one malf (the second round in the gun) and it's been fine now for 250+ rounds over the past two weeks. However, from shot 1, it tends to throw brass straight back at me, usually causing it to land on my short-sleeved arms. Ouch. How do I fix this? New...

How well do incandescent lights hold up on rifles? I'm considering mounting something like a G2 or 6P to my AR (.223). Does the recoil prematurely kill incandescent bulbs? Other pros/cons aside, is an LED a better choice for rifle mounted duty?

Another thread got me thinking, what special guns do you have that you intend to give to your kids? Many of us have several guns and I'm sure some of them will be passed on, some will get sold, some may even wind up in the casket with us. I'm talking special. I have plenty of guns that I...

CZ SP-01 owners: what recoil spring do you use? Stock? Aftermarket? If aftermarket, what weight and what types of ammo do you shoot?

My sister just picked up some new Cougar mags direct from Beretta for $20 ea. Linky I believe some others are on sale too.

I've been looking into moving to the Keystone State and have been investigating their CCW laws. I've checked the common sources, and the information is either unavailable or, it doesn't exist because it's not against the law. Nebraska's CCW law is pretty long, detailed, and stupid. From...

Is it just me, or has anyone else noticed an influx of non-American posters lately? This morning alone, I've seen posters from France, Switzerland, and Finland. I think it's great. :)

Where do I send money to support the NRA in their battle(s) against Chicago, et al.? NRA-PVF? NRA-ILA? NRA Foundation? Plain ol' NRA? Other? Which branch of the NRA specifically deals with litigation?

For the NRA instructors out there... -Are you incorporated or an LLC (or none)? -Are the guns you use for training purposes assets of the businesses? -If so, do you depreciate them? -Do you write off training at LFI, Thunder Ranch, Gunsite, etc. as professional development? The...

I'm going to start reloading for .38 Special. I bought a Lee 4-die set, some 125gr LFP, 125gr SJSP, and 158gr LSWC, and some Winchester brass. Any tips on die setup, OAL, or any "gotchas" I should be aware of? How much crimp do I need? These will be shot out of an aluminum Colt Cobra and...

I picked up some Berry's boxes from Graf's with my last order in .38 Special. They are kinda lousy, specifically the latch. The latch is weak and is prone to open with slight hits to the case. I haven't loaded them into a range bag yet, but I don't have faith in them. My MTM 9mm cases...
