    pressure switch splicing, need help

    Re: pressure switch splicing, need help What are you using it for? If you EVER might use it for serious use then pay the money. You can DIY electronics well if you have the skills but sealing and other issues come into play and DIY tools simply cannot do as good a job.

    Gunsmithing Cleaning rods marks

    Re: Cleaning rods marks Soft rods are bad for long term use as they get embedded with abrasive particles. That's the "real" reason they are bad. Lay them down on your bench, drop them, windy day and it's in the surface, wearing your bore from that point on. This would include coated rods...

    Hearing/ear protection

    Re: Hearing/ear protection The battery compartment in the Peltors is IN the ear piece. Any sweat or moisture finds it's way to corrode them. Life span for many is just over a year if used in hot enviroments. Sordin = good. Howard = cheap and quite good.

    Gunsmithing Bore Snakes any good?

    Re: Bore Snakes any good? You will not clean carbon and abrasive particles out of them. They get into the fibre and stay. In short order you have an abrasive rope. Grab a microscope and have a look. you won't need much power. Cleaning a bit of the colour out of them does not make it clean at...

    Rifle Scopes GunPal is now "GPal"

    Re: GunPal is now "GPal" OTOH, something nice about antigunners not realising they are using a pro gun payment like many shooters don't realise about ebay/PP. Name change might also be to move away from those other "issues" some time ago and that would be a valid reason.
