    Gunsmithing Good shop for refinishing/rebluing a revolver?

    Re: Good shop for refinishing/rebluing a revolver? Try dropping it off at CST, atleast since they are graded on the work, they will do a decent job, and in the hands of someone who has some patience, a lot if not all of the pitting can be polished out. Anytime I blue a revolver I do most of...

    Gunsmithing My lathe died...

    Re: My lathe died... Update. "F**K NO GUNSMITH!" - The Lathe. I reinstalled the motor, hooked it all back up- BAM! Nothing. There is a switch inside the box, with a reset on it (KM1 I think?) Again- I'm Smiff- not a Dr. When I push the left pole, nothing but a blue flash, push the right and...

    Gunsmithing My lathe died...

    HAPPY NEW YEAR! 'I broke and you suck!'- the lathe. So once before the lathe would 'kind of start' i.e. juice would flow, it would hum and the chcuk would barely move. I could grab it and manually spin it and get it going. Took the motor to a motor rebuild place and they said a capacitor...

    Gunsmithing Expensive Lesson

    Re: Expensive Lesson That sucks!!!!! I came close to flexing one on more than one occasion. I looked at so many barrels I was getting vertigo and headaches from inspecting them and watching the rifling come at me and go away from me. SO- the engineer built a cradle and FINALLY got it hooked...

    Re: case seperation with case left in chamber how to ? Freezer. Get it ice cold, will help with whatever method you do use. I have used taps as well as broken case extractors and brushes. However the freezer trick does help a great deal.

    Re: But Daddy, he really wanted a tattoo ... Hopefully once he gets in Gen Pop, they will turn his blooming onion into an orifice that a Howitzer NO GO gauge wouldn't fill, then after he's laying there crying with his feet bound by a state issue canvas belt- they will hose him down with...

    Gunsmithing Shot gun Barrel Repair referral needed.

    Re: Shot gun Barrel Repair referral needed. New barrel if the cantilever is not aligned, removing it, resoldering it, repolishing and bluing it will require more money than it is worth. Which screws are stripped on the sights on the barrel? Can you get a photo?

    Gunsmithing 742 wont eject

    Re: 742 wont eject Being a 742, makes it pretty old and prone to the abuse of generalized 742 owners. Short stroking is a likely cause, a good cleaning is a good place to start. Also be mindful of the chamber, specifically in your cleaning and use a flexible chamber rod and something akin to...
