Long time, no posting in a while. Good to be back on the High Road. I have a neighbor I used to be good friends with, but over the past year or so, things fell apart between his family and mine (long story). Recently, I was driving on a country backroad with my family when his 18 year-old...

My friend asked me to find a standard capacity (14rd.) magazine for his Smith&Wesson 9mm. It's a model 459 with what looks like a stainless satin finish. The factory magazine is stainless also. I don't know much about S&W autos, except for what I described above. I called the local...

My wife cleans an office building at night, and she just brought home about 3 dozen old phone books - the thick ones. God bless my little garbage-picker! I want to use them to do penetration tests with various calibers/bullet designs. How do I go about preparing the books? I've read that...

A co-worker has a Browning GP Competition that he's interested in selling. He's not a real big gun guy, and only shot it a couple of times. He seems more interested in getting a revolver. He bought it about 7 years ago for $500 (he thinks). It's a 9mm, almost new condition, with case and all...

I recently refinished the slide of my CZ-52 with Brownell's Gun Kote. I followed the recommended procedures for application, and it turned out well. For this gun, I'm happy with the results. I now want to re-finish the slide on my XD-9. It's beginning to show some holster wear around the...

See: http://www.local6.com/news/4299670/detail.html Apparently, some people are also upset that the video was "leaked" onto the internet.

Toronto police apprehend a knife-wielding suspect in an interesting way. Video link is about halfway down the page: http://www.pulse24.com/News/Top_Story/20050308-007/page.asp Owned!

OK, the title's only half-serious, but I do intend to keep this gun-related... Perhaps I've lived in Mayberry for too long, but I'd like some information on "crystal meth", possibly from LEO members and those with other experiences. About all I know about the stuff is that idiots sometimes...

I had some leftover 1/2-inch plate from a project at work, so I decided to make some steel silhouettes. I drew some quick outlines on the plate, cut them with a plasma cutter and welded some 1/4 X 2" bases on them. I got a little creative with the painting: They're about 9" tall. Of...

(I guess this could have been posted in the handgun or rifle forum, but I thought I'd take my chances here...) I just got a small, unexpected bonus at work. I figured I'd use it to by a couple of doo-dads that I've been needing. I'd like to get them both from the same source to save on...

A friend of mine has a Springfield 1911 GI model. He doesn't care much for the recoil, and asked me how to reduce it. No hammer bite or anything like that. He just doesn't like the kick and muzzle flip. I'm not TOO familiar with 1911's, but I suggested a ported barrel. I did a little...

I'm fairly new to the Catholic faith and its traditions, but it's my understanding that priests offer blessings to various possesions of the faithful. I live in a rural area, and I've heard of priests blessing chickens, cows, bees and automobiles (mostly pick-ups). My Catholic Dictionary...

I just stumbled across this: http://www.compfused.com/directlink/594/ Miniguns fired from choppers. Need I say more?

You've probably heard that Remington bought EAA, and will be carrying some of their guns under the "Spartan" name... The rumor on another forum is that Remington is dropping the Saiga rifle line, and will no longer import them. There's hope that someone else will import them from Izhmash...

I'm doing a little research on the inspiration for my screen name. For those that don't know, St. Gabriel Possenti is the patron saint of handgunners and marksmen. Here's a story from http://www.possentisociety.com/ - - In 1860, a band of soldiers from the army of Garibaldi entered the...

Trying out my new digital camera. I've had the Saiga for about 3 months. It was bone stock when I bought it, and I decided to make a few upgrades. Call it a "poor man's PSG-1": I installed a Red Star Arms trigger. The Panther Arms pistol grip is intended for an AR-15, but with a...

I'm sure most everyone has seen the small targets that explode when hit in the center with a bullet bigger/stronger than a .22 (Actually, CCI Stingers will set them off). They're about 2" square with a yellow face and a red 1" dot in the center. They're filled with "flash powder" that's shock...

No - I'm not wanting to know where to find hi-cap 10/22 magazines. Those seem to be a popular topic on the gun forums lately. (Keeping my fingers crossed that my Wally-World carries them again.) Just a simple question about free-floated barrels: I'm not familiar with the AR-type target...

The first one is probably easy... My friend's uncle went to the range with us Sunday so he could sight in his gun for deer season. It was a .30-06 bolt action. The reciever had stamped on it "National Ordnance", but it was abbrievated to something like "NATIONL ORD." on top, near the...

I was just goofing around with my Photoshop program, and came up with this diploma. My apologies to Warner Brothers: I'd like to add some more text to it, but I'm not sure what. Maybe something about TNT, jet-powered roller skates and anvils? Except for high school, I've never earned a...
