    1022 Receivers

    I'm planning a 10/22 build and want to know what my options are for receivers. My search attempts didn't turn up much other than KIDD and MOA. What else is there? I don't have any criteria and I don't need to be persuaded to use a particular model. I'm open to anything and everything. I just...

    How I repair Butler Creek Caps

    I break these things all of the time. For a while Butler Creek would send me free replacements, but they would break too, so I just had a lot of broken caps and still nothing to guard the glass. While a few guys decided to build better caps, I decided to take a whack at repairing the weak link...

    Rifle Scopes I can't find the perfect budget scope and I know it exists.

    I'm looking for the perfect scope to suit my grandfather's .243 coyote killer. I need something that isn't going to lose zero banging around in the tractor cab. That's the most abuse it will see. It must have a graduated reticle that sub-tends to a round figure. Preferably not a BDC that...

    Paper Gun Genius

    I'm sure someone else has come across this, but you can watch it again.... This kid has amazing talent! Give him some paper and super glue and he can build every firearm ever designed. All of the guns are fully functioning. He loads his own ammunition and some of them are surprisingly powerful...

    Gunsmithing What are your rates for barrel threading?

    A new shop opened up in the next town over. I was thoroughly impressed with the owners who both claimed to be gunsmiths. One wouldn't quit talking about how a slug gun is all I need for coyote killing. The other kept talking about the 90 different jobs he'd held in the last 2 or 3 years. Both of...

    Gunsmithing 1911 Group Gripper Problem

    I tossed a Wilson Combat group gripper into the cart with my last Midway order and have run into a problem with it. The I.D. of the slide stop pin hole in the Group Gripper barrel link is slightly too large. I called Midway and Wilson Combat in hopes of purchasing an under-size link, but such a...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns CCW for Itsy Bitsy Little Sister

    I'm on the hunt for a CCW for my little sister. She is 4'10" with heels, weighs 80lbs carrying bricks, and has hands to match. I'm having a hard time staying objective so I'm wanting suggestions for a decent carry weapon for her. I'd like for her to have something larger than .380 and have...

    Gunsmithing Stripping out action screw heads

    I've got an older Savage 110 that I pieced together from random parts. I didn't have a front action screw, so I ordered one from Brownells. I threaded it in, set my wrench, and started torquing. Around 25" lbs the allen bit spun free and rounded out the slot. I've ordered a total of 3 screws...
