    SG2 or S30V

    I been driving myself crazy looking for a new EDC. I’m going to hit a gun and knife show tomorrow to look for alternatives to the Blur that I am so used to. My question is. What is SG2 steel? :confused:And how does it compare to S30V? The SG2 in the Blur is a sandwich of SG2 Steel between 410...

    Kimber Schwartz Safety

    Kimber Schwartz Safety Here’s the problem; I was getting light primer strikes ( I reload and I was testing some dogfood rounds long story). I’d get a faint primer strike but not enough to detonate the primer. So I’m thinking bad mainspring or perhaps crudded up firing pin or maybe broken...

    Old Remington 514 Finish

    I just picked up a beater Remington 514 at a gun show for probably a bit more than I should have paid $60. I am reasonably proficient at wood work so the cracked stock is no problem. But the rusted and scratched barrel assembly has got me guessing. I can easily strip the old bluing and smooth...

    870 Forend Removal

    In preparing to install a new SpeedFeedIII stock on my 870 I ran into a common problem. The stock is not a problem but the forend nut. This is a hard “nut” to crack with standard tools.
