    Mosin Nagant vs 1" steel

    Re: Mosin Nagant vs 1" steel Sweet. My friend has a Armalite 50cal and well shot a 2" piece of steel and penetrated 1 5/8" into the steel. It was an awesome show!

    CATS Targets?

    So I just learned about these and I'm wondering where I can pick some up at? Anybody got any ideas? I did some searches and found a lot of stuff, but nothing that appeared to be a stocking supplier or seller of the actual target. It seems that mapping a reticle would be much simpler with this...

    Gunsmithing stock texturing

    Re: stock texturing It'll stick if you sand the are you want to apply to, or at least scuff it with a scotch brite pad and wipe it off with some wax/grease remover (which is what I use). It's kinda like lacquer thinner or paint thinner. Those two are usually more harsh than the wax/grease...

    Gunsmithing Duaracoat ?

    Re: Duaracoat ? I use a simple wax/grease remover and lint free towels, which you can pick up at your local parts store or automotive paint dealer. I use acetone to run through the gun when I'm done. +1 on the gloves, however just be known that acetone will eat some of the gloves up, so I...

    Gunsmithing 1911 builders?

    Re: 1911 builders? Well I completely understand where you are coming from and it would be an awesome project! It should be a wealth of knowledge to do the job. I would suggest a lot of research and also a thread on the job itself would be cool.

    Gunsmithing bedding DIY ?

    Re: bedding DIY ? Yep, just back out of here and open the sticky post at the top. Then read away and follow that. You should have great results I would think. It's intimidating the first time, or at least it was for me, but its really not that hard all in all. Good luck

    Gunsmithing stock texturing

    Re: stock texturing Lol well I assume he's speaking of the rifle assembled afterwards, but who knows. I'll have to take some, since I put the bedding job off for alittle while! Oh and if I didn't mention, I'm not painting it yet until I shoot it to see how it feels then. Thanks for the kind...

    Gunsmithing Poor Man's Ceracote

    Re: Poor Man's Ceracote Now that's thinking! I've used some "cheaper" methods of painting with great success, but never thought of using something like that! My wife would flip if I was baking my gun in the oven though....it might be worth it to see what she has to say or what she would do...

    Gunsmithing gun cleaning (i'm gonna catch hell for this)

    Re: gun cleaning (i'm gonna catch hell for this) hmmm...so I have a stiff brass rod that I use and I can't say that I've had problems, but it would definately be worth looking into! I'm just running a factory Remington so it could also turn into a good excuse to put an aftermarket custom...

    Gunsmithing 1911 builders?

    Re: 1911 builders? From what I've looked at it doesn't seem that one can really build a decent/quality gun for the same price as what you can simply buy one for, but I understand your plight! I'd like to do the same, for the learning experience and gratification that comes with it, but I'm...

    Gunsmithing stock texturing

    Re: stock texturing sweet prokop...where's the pics? It's pretty easy after having done it! I bought a 2oz kit and only used about 1/2 to do what I did. It looks like there was a lot used, but it really isn't that thick.

    Gunsmithing stock texturing

    Re: stock texturing Here are some close up pics of the texturing in response to the question of how rough or not rough it actually was before I sanded on it some to knock of the sharp points. I'm not 100% sure that I'm going to paint over the texture yet. The longer I look at it the...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Any feedback on Sig Sauer 1911s ?

    Re: Any feedback on Sig Sauer 1911s ? Mine has been flawless up to this point. Fit and finish has been very good. It has chewed up everything I've fed it, which includes hard ball, truncated, and HP's, all in different weights. I have ran the factory mags and some cheap ass aftermarket 7rd GI...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Need help deciding on a 1911

    Re: Need help deciding on a 1911 You can get a "traditional" Sig if you like, which the slide is designed like a traditional 1911. If you don't get the "traditional" then yes the top of the slide is wider and more squared that normal 1911's, which can make a holster decision a little more...

    Do the Sheep See The Sheepdog?...or the Wolf?

    Re: Do the Sheep See The Sheepdog?...or the Wolf? Is this all there is to whine about? Really? Seems to me that had this not "leaked" nobody would have know and nobody would have cared! I'd rather be covered by one of ours than one of theirs! It's a no win situation and nobody's ever happy...

    Gunsmithing stock texturing

    Re: stock texturing So I let it all dry up. I took the tape off before it was completely cured with no ill side effects. I just need to sand it down and I'll probably retape it and paint it with some black duracoat. It looked darker when it was wet and I didn't think I was going to have to do...

    Gunsmithing stock texturing

    Re: stock texturing I think a dry sponge would have been better. I say this because it didn't really start to texture until some of the Marine-Tex started to stick to the sponge anyhow! After that it worked fabulously. It probably was you tripwire, I just couldn't remember who, but...

    So I had some free time!

    Re: So I had some free time! It works, but I'm sure there are better and more expensive options! I'm cheap by nature, just ask my wife! Really thought I can't just throw money around right now as my wife is having a surgery next month so it's kinda tight right now. Thanks

    Gunsmithing stock texturing

    This is my first attempt at this. I bought this B&C M40 style stock and wanted to give the whole texturing thing a try. So I taped it off and had a hard time getting things to look nice and even using 1/8th inch blue fine line tape and then taping the rest off with some green masking tape...
