    Bourbon What have you tried lately

    I haven't seen a good bourbon thread in a while so I thought I would start a new one instead of reviving an old one. I'm no expert and rarely buy anything real expensive but I do like bourbon and like to try new things. None of the local shops have a lot of variety and I get tired of the same...

    photo's not showing up on Kindle

    May just be an issue with our Kindle that occasionally use. Some photo's display normally, others I just get a small square with a question mark. Any ideas on what is causing that? I've tried everything I could think of. Thanks

    MagnetoSpeed users, please check my set up

    I bought a MagnetoSpeed V2 and hope to use it this week. I have been looking it over and getting it set up. Hoping some of you that have been using it would give your opinion of the spacing from the bore. I used a couple different spacers and this looked the best to me but not sure if it is...

    Storing hard cases in attic?

    I'm trying to clean out my gun room and a closet to make room for even more junk. I have accumulated several plastic hard cases that I don't use. I thought about selling them but I'm sure I will eventually need them. I was thinking about storing them in the attic long term. Do you think the...

    Awe S*%t moment.

    Was priming some new brass on my Forster Co-ax press. Must have caught the edge on a piece of brass and got a sliver down in the priming mechanism. I didn't notice that it was putting a crease in the primers until I had primed eight more pieces. Kinda shocked me that it made that big of a mark...

    Gunsmithing Flush cups in a wood stock?

    Three Thumler's tumbler questions.

    I just got my Thumblers tumbler and had a few questions. I'm going to be using it with the SS media with water/soap/Lemi shine. 1. the drum is a little out of square/round (however you want to say it). As it is turning on the stand, it is wobbling about 1/2" side to side. Not sure if it is...

    Gunsmithing Rust prevention on unfinished receiver?

    I picked up a receiver last week for future build. I got it out today to look it over and it had a small amount of rust on it. Mostly inside the bolt body and a very small amount on the receiver body. It did not appear to have any type of rust protection on it. It will be several months before...

    Gunsmithing ? about ordering a stock

    Not sure if this is the correct place to post this question, but I hope to get an answer from the folks that work on them. I am going to order an A5 stock and was not sure about the aluminum pillars. Should I have McMillan install them or wait and let the smith that does the work install them...

    Gunsmithing Oversize recoil lug

    I am planning to purchase a Surgeon RSR during the group buy that is starting today. One of the options is a .354" lug instead of the standard .25" lug. Other than the extra $44 is there any downside to it? Would you consider it worth the extra $$s? I have not decided for sure what the...
