You are right on point a5werkes. Many of the people I went to gunsmith school with ended up gunsmithing as a part time thing. One exception where one could make it a full-time career is if they work for a manufacturer in production. I have found much better money in developing a specialty...

I saw a youtube video or two of people that actually attended. Reviews were fair, not raving. I attended a formal institution about 15 years ago and was curious how they compared.

+1 here as well.

Yikes! I find scads of them out in the woods. I just pop the primer out and get clean brass scrap price for them.

My solution for 5.7x28 brass is to toss them right into the scrap bucket, just like I do with rimfire shells. Saves the headache.

I also use the RCBS collet bullet puller. Very happy with it. I was going to buy the Hornady puller until I saw a bunch of complaints about the collets not holding up with use. That was good enough for me to go with the RCBS and I have never looked back.

I have a friend who owns an older Remington tube fed bolt action. It feeds shorts, longs, and long rifles. The barrel is around 22” long. When you shoot shorts you barely hear the shot. Its almost comical. That would be great for near the house. Just a thought.

I have stopped going to gun shows for the most part. Same high priced things I can find in local shops without an entrance fee. I miss the days when guys had tables with nothing but parts and mags. I would dig through snd find all kinds of treasures. Larger shows still have some goodies. The...

Pick ip a lead remover cleaning cloth by Birchwood Casey. It does wonders not only on the cylinder flutes but the cylinder face as well. Best $8.00I have spent in a long time.

I would drool at the chance to buy one of their lever carbines in .357 mag!!!

I am a bit on then odd side but I think it would be great if they came out with a 4 barrel pepperbox derringer in .22 lr.

If the outside is that bad, what does the bore look like? Not sure the juice would be worth the squeeze.

Have you looked at what the lead hardness is after powder coat? The bake can lower the hardness of lead. Have you considered a different type of coating? Hy-tek super coat comes to mind. Bit of a different process but it ends up applying less thick on the bullet. There was a guy on youtube...

What a great find. I used to own the 617 model with a ten shot cylinder. I got tired of cleaning all those holes. I have developed an affinity for revolvers with 6 holes instead. The model 17 fits the bill perfectly. Take her to the range and give her some love!

The real question is whether you want a gun that runs on virtually anything or if you want to spend time/money figuring out what your new gun likes.

I have always found soft points to be more than effective on deer. Inexpensive and the deer have never taken a single step after being shot.

I have volunteered at the annual Glock match for several years now. I pay attention to what everyone is using. The two most popular competition sights I saw were either a red fiber optic by Dawson Precision or fiber optic front, plain rear by Ameriglo. Here is their link. The sights are under...

A few years ago I was looking at safes. I had a hard time finding any with dial combinations. It seems the entire industry has gone to electronic locks. I don’t like the unreliability factor of electronics and therefore prefer things that don’t run on batteries. Call me a luddite if you will...

My favorite handgun name that makes me scratch my head is the “Yeet Cannon” by Hi-Point firearms. I don’t think I will ever have a desire to own a thing with such a silly name.

Your revolver fails what is called the push off test. That means the sear engagement has a negative angle and slips off. The push off test only requires about 1.5 lbs to check. It is most likely not the springs but the hammer and trigger interface on the single action shelf (which should never...
