I canceled my subscription within 10 minutes of learning Susan Rice joined the board of Netflix. I'm sure there are equally villainous scumbags on all sorts of boards, but there was no way I could continue to give money to any corporation that thinks she's a suitable director. I will miss...

I saw the new-to-me Team Never Quit brass at a local Cabelas. Never heard of them before. Read on the package that it is made by Jagemann. Never heard of them before either. Now, I see Brownells, for one, is listing both TNQ and Jagemann branded brass. Has anyone had experience with...

For giggles, I bought an old beater Mossberg 183. It was slathered with varnish and had a bit of oil staining. After stripping with Citristrip, I used some whiting to pull out the oil stains. It really is one good looking piece of walnut. Certainly the best in my inventory. (Not that that...

I apologize if this is considered poor netiquette, but I'm thinking alot of people may read this forum but not the Gunsmithing one. I'm in need of the dimensions of the recoil spring guide rod. If you can help, please reply to the thread here. Thanks!

Can anyone break out their calipers, camera, and 70S (or probably any 70 through 76) and post pics and dimensions of a recoil spring guide rod? Mine's 22LR, but I don't know if the guide rod is different for the 380s. I picked one up, but the guide rod is missing.:( Jack First does have repros...

I received an email today purportedly from Cabelas, asking me to take a survey and register for a drawing for a $250 gift card. I don't ever take online surveys, so maybe they're all like this, but some of the questions were way out there. How is my opinion on pot, immigration, religion...

Last night, I placed a small order. Then, after hitting the submit button, I forgot I didn't order the main thing that I needed. So, I immediately placed a 2nd order for that item. I was going to email them asking if the orders could be combined, but got sidetracked and it never got done. I...

I just got back from the local post office (Kearney, NE) after having them refuse to ship a rifle barrel+stripped receiver since I wasn't a licensee. The clerk told me (after discussing it with someone else in the back) that they have a new form that must be filled out in order to ship a...

Is there a standard measure for neck tension to prevent bullet set back in 45acp? Do the ammo manufacturers test for it during QC? If so, does anyone know what their specs are?

I bought a bunch of "once-fired" mixed .40s&w brass. The Remington brass won't hold a bullet. Light pressure will set back the bullet. I see this isn't a new issue. Problems have been reported before with thin R-P brass having no neck tension. I am using RCBS dies. I was just wondering...

Wondering if Quickload contains the data for Hornady's 500gr 0.458" DGX. It has a bit longer bearing surface than the 500gr RN, and will reduce case capacity too. I'm wondering what to expect in the change from the RN to the DGX in a 458 Socom load (only because I can get a few boxes at a...

Newbie here (as will soon be apparent). I knew it was a gamble, but was willing to take it, and lost... I did some metal work to a 1911 frame which then required re-parkerizing. I knew I would be better off blasting and parkerizing the slide at the same time if I wanted them to match...

A while back, I found my old Winchester 77 from when I was a kid (already used when purchased). It had been long forgotten about. I have been using it to practice some parkerizing since the exterior was severely rusted, but internals were near perfect and the bore was rust free. I looked a...

I am in the market for my first 1911. I think I have narrowed it down to the STI Sentinel Premier in hard chrome, or the Wilson Combat CQB. Both in the 2000-2200 range. I had considered the Kimber Raptor. The scales are just so pretty (gimmicky... yes, but I like it), and its at least 700...

AAAARGH!!!! wrong forum. I can't find how to delete it--only edit. SORRY! I'm looking for the safety lever/pin. e-gunparts.com is out. If you have the clip and spring, I'd buy those too, otherwise e-gunparts does have those. I rediscovered my old 77 from when I was a kid. Somehow the...
