    Gunsmithing Out with the old and in with the new.

    I decided on changing out the gearhead manual lathe in my CNC lab at work and stuck in a new South Bend EVS lathe. These lathes do not get much use, but are nice to have for quick projects that I need to do during business hours. My lathes at home get more use. There is also a good size CNC...

    F T/R Competition F-Class Nationals - Only 1000 Yds

    Re: F-Class Nationals - Only 1000 Yds It isn't necessary for one to be shooting 1000 yards in practice to shoot it at a match. The only time I get to shoot at a 1000 yards is at the Nationals, or a major match, which is probably twice a year, apart from the Nationals. In fact, the only time I...

    Gunsmithing So I get this email today

    Re: So I get this email today Whatever you guys do, <span style="font-weight: bold">do not </span>send any money to them. A lot of scams out there that lure you in and then ask for a casting fee to get you set up. Although, I would guess this is the wrong crowd to scam.
