    Gunsmithing Need a source for colored kydex

    Black is easy to find, but I need it in various colors and in small sheets (like 12"x12"). Suprisingly ebay has been less than helpful. All the crap on there is too thin, and the one we found that should have worked at 1/8" thickness arrived and in reality was 1/16". Useless for our needs. But...

    Re: RRA LAR-15 Buffer spring noise is it normal? Its normal. One of my husbands favorite stories is raising his hand on the BRM range first time behind an M16 and the range NCO asking what he wanted. He said he thought something was wrong with his rifle because it made that funny noise. The...

    Gunsmithing pitting on mauser large ring action

    Re: pitting on mauser large ring action If its below the wood line, stop the corosion, refinish, and don't worry about it. Above the woodline you can polish out what you can and fill the pits you cant with spots of weld (pain in the ass with risks), or Devcon/Marinetex/etc and coat over it...
