    Gunsmithing Aluminum to steel bonding?

    I know the traditional method for attaching a sight base to a receiver or barrel would be drilling/tapping +/or silver solder. What if the piece to be attached is aluminum and the barrel is chromoly? I know some wizard like C.Dixon could tig or solder it just right, but I tig like a toddler...

    Pot use linked to dementia

    Some people are starting to see the benefits of slow release pharmaceutical meth to keep up with the horrid drudgery of modern work culture. I can type at my desk for a solid 45 minutes these days.

    Shot show 2024

    The current lack of factory lever actions chambered in something spicy like 500 S&W or 50 Alaskan is a shame. Having to plop down 3500 on top of a $1200 donor gun for something more energetic that 32,000 psi max 45-70 is big stupid. I want to dislocate my shoulder and detach my retinas shooting...

    Gunsmithing Go-to for high end files?

    I have a few harbor freight diamond grit sharpening stone with the plastic block peeled off. They work great for taking out scratch marks and cutting hardened stuff, but they can’t move a lot of metal.

    Gunsmithing Go-to for high end files?

    I’m at a point in life where it has become worth it to try and get the best possible tools money can buy, especially hand tools. A few years back I bought a big Pferd brand (German made) flat file with weird square teeth that don’t look like they’d do anything but grate cheese, but it cuts...

    Straight walled wildcats

    I had the same conclusion several times but 450 marlin ammo is $8/round and can really only be found on Gunbroker. Brass is basically unobtainable and can’t really be made by any method we here can weild.

    What is up with the Narcan commercials

    I think this demonstrates part of the point I’m trying to make. If there weren’t any people allowed to have authority over others it wouldn’t matter what other people do with their lives. Also I’ve met many a trump loving/voting copper thieving meth addicts.

    What is up with the Narcan commercials

    “Addicts are the most vile scum of the earth and they deserve to be shot in the street” why? “Well, because they’re thieves that steal and lie and hurt people to feed their habit” ok, well if dope was cheap and legal and plentiful and made by a local mom n pop do you think that would be...

    What is up with the Narcan commercials

    Dude literally has a pro dudes avatar is literally a guy who really really likes to physically punish men for refusing to accept the authority of the state. Of course he hates liberty.

    What is up with the Narcan commercials

    Is that any worse than a bunch of octogenarians deciding to inflate Raytheon stock by drafting your son to die taking some hill in a place that no one you care about has ever seen?

    375 Raptor, bolt gun or gas gun for precision hunting rifle?

    Build something that pushes a .458 cal bullet at least 2200 fps…..be a man. Several rifles out there in .375 Ruger but brass/ammo are scarce. I don’t believe in overkill. F them deer.

    Gunsmithing Updated 5/23/24 Wood upgrade for Lever guns?

    I have been emailing a guy named George Petersen at Treebone carving. George said the buttstock for the Rossi is no problem, and he can make a fore end for the large mag tube, not the .357 though. Now I’m just trying to determine if I have an appropriate chonk of black walnut in my “not...

    Gunsmithing Updated 5/23/24 Wood upgrade for Lever guns?

    I sort of chose the Rossi because I knew I was going to mess around with different wood/stock shape and that seemed a little sacrilegious for a marlin or Winchester. Also if I have 650 in the Rossi Id need to spend $500 on wood to get close to the bottom trim Winchester. Also sub $2k...

    Gunsmithing Updated 5/23/24 Wood upgrade for Lever guns?

    I ordered a Rossi m92 20” in .44 mag, it’ll be at my FFL in a week. $632.78 after tax didn’t seems like a bad deal. The reviews online seem pretty decent, fit and finish seem to be decent for most. I will defiantly be adding some sort of apature or ghost ring sight in the rear. I realize .44...

    Newer ATF form 21b

    I do 40mg of vyvanse every morning, then slam a big mug of home made espresso. I really know how to party.
