Re: Why I don't go to gun shows About 10 years ago, when I first started getting serious about firearms I went to "the Costa Mesa show," which is more or less THE show to go to in Southern California. While in there, there was a guy with a sign over his table that said something to the...

Re: Place to get good Steel +1 for onlinemetals.com. Selection is so-so but the prices and delivery are good. I've had good luck buying cut-offs on eBay. Mostly bar stock in lengths less than a foot sold by the pound.

Re: Anybody use the Candlepower forums? I've been a member there for a number of years and have seen it go through several different iterations. And you're right, it does seem to get a bit more confusing each time. I don't visit there too often any more because most of the posts are people...

Re: Mounting Help? Alternative to measuring everything you can clamp the rifle in a vise and point the crosshairs at a mark on the wall. Then start flipping and/or reversing the rings, remount the scope and see if the POA changes. If you only have a caliper you might want to have a smith...

Re: Check out my Osama Bin Laden Kyhber AKM *Photos* Nice rig! I've always wanted an authentic AK like that. Unfortunately in Cali they are a little hard to come by. (And if you can find a dealer willing to transfer one to you they're $$$$.)

Re: Mounting Help? It might be possible to get closer to true by rearranging your rings. Swap the front and rear, reverse the front and/or rear, etc. Do you have access to measurement tools or access to a friend that can check it out for you? I would think this is preferable to randomly...

Re: Sand blasting with a smaller compressor? My blasting setup has a 60 gallon. It is adequate, but if you’re really hogging material or using a mild abrasive the compressor runs continuously. The pressure seems to hold up though, but the compressor tank gets hot enough to freak me out a...

Re: VISE I have the Grizzly version and really like it. Prior to that I had a Harbor Freight drill press vise mounted to my bench. The mounting block allowed you to put the jaws parallel or perpendicular to the bench top. Super-duper handy, which is why I later switched to the Grizzly...

Re: Anybody played with a NovaTac light? NovaTac is an "okay" product. The way they heatsink the LED is not very good though. Surefire's heatsinking is not very good either, but it's better than NovaTac. If you break or otherwise dispose of lights frequently this will be less of an issue...

Re: Need help with a big Enfield project Hi guys, thanks for all the replies, I really appreciate it. It is a P17 Eddystone. Here are some pics. BTW it is chambered for .30-06 so far as I can tell; a .30-06 cartridge fits into the chamber and into the boltface (I did not close the bolt)...

Didn't find anything on search; tried posting to my local smiths (at calguns.net) but no results!! Here's the situation. The gun belongs to my uncle, who is an old war-horse that served in Korea and Vietnam. He's in his 70s and feeling his mortality. He has an Enfield that's been a work in...

Re: Questions about my savage .308 Hard to say with such a short description. I have a 10FP also and never any issues with FGMM ammo. Had some Prvi Partizan rounds that didn't want to chamber however (bullet was already into the bore before bolt was closed). If you have the tools to...

Re: XD45 with 200gr LSWC feed problems Make sure the bullet isn't touching the inside of the slide stop. Some of the Remington hollowpoints do on my XD45.
