    Gunsmithing Wasnt going to do the oversized recoil lug thing......

    You're not going to get out of it that easy! I went to school in South Dakota and shot all winter, every winter. Can't imagine you're snowed in for the entire time. Time to find a new place to shoot!

    Re: GAP TEMPLAR Version 2 - SNEAK PEEK! I suppose imitation is the sincerest form of flattery....looks like Defiance's take on a Surgeon.

    Which progressive press

    Re: Which progressive press Had a Dillon 550, was going to upgrade to a 650 but then I talked to my friend who owned a 650 and Hornady LNL. After trying the two next to each other I went with the Hornady (which is the one he recommended). Been going strong for about a year now, load 10mm...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns A Bit Off Topic: Value of a Colt Anaconda

    Re: A Bit Off Topic: Value of a Colt Anaconda I buy and sell a lot of Colt double action revolvers. I'd agree that that missing outer cardboard sleeve and lack of original grips makes this a $800-$1000 gun. You can find the original grips for around $100 online.

    Gunsmithing Help an idiot drill a hole and tap it!

    Re: Help an idiot drill a hole and tap it! Thanks for the advice everyone, I appreciate it. I think I'll skip this project as it sounds like there's a lot more involved than I was initially thinking. Chad, you bring up a lot of interesting points that honestly I've never heard from anyone...

    Gunsmithing Help an idiot drill a hole and tap it!

    Re: Help an idiot drill a hole and tap it! Sean, Maybe the trigger would be a better idea; did you punch the hole through the trigger face when you've done this?

    Gunsmithing Help an idiot drill a hole and tap it!

    Re: Help an idiot drill a hole and tap it! It's a GP100 and I intend on locating the set screw in the trigger guard (which is a detachable piece on the GP100). I've seen it done on Redhawk's which share a similar construction, which is why I want to attempt it on this gun. Here's a picture I...

    Gunsmithing Help an idiot drill a hole and tap it!

    GemPro 250 Digital Scale - Awesome!!

    Re: GemPro 250 Digital Scale I bought one a couple years ago and love it. Before I bought mine, a good friend of mine several states away went through some 243 bullets until he found one that weighed 100.00gr per his GemPro 250. He sent me the bullet to use as a check-weight on my balance...

    Hornady L-N-L AP press accessories

    Re: Hornady L-N-L AP press accessories +1 on the case feeder! I held out for about a year and finally got one; I love the thing. Beyond that the only accessory I got was the ergo handle from In Line Fabrication. I got sick of the plastic ball on the end of the Hornady handle and I've really...

    Re: Wheel Gun: Feeling the need for a .44 Mag I'm a big fan of the 44 Mag and have Rugers, Colts, and S&W's. This Redhawk gets shot the most; Followed by the S&W's; here's one of my favorite, a Pre-29. And, of course an Anaconda. My personal thoughts will echo those of ROLEXrifleman...

    Thinking about a 338 LM...Thoughts?

    Re: Thinking about a 338 LM...Thoughts? I'd finish it at 27-28", no need to cut it's legs out velocity-wise (the rifle's going to be heavy no matter what!). Mine is 27.5 and I've not regretted the length.

    Hornady Progressive Case Feeder over feed

    Plane hits car... at my airfield

    Re: Plane hits car... at my airfield I'd expect the driver of the SUV to have a better situational awareness than that. With that said, WTF is a road doing directly perpendicular to a runway? You always have to plan for the lowest common denominator, and in this case Murphy's law has proved...
