    Suppressors Sionics design...?

    Has anyone here tried making the 1960 & 70s design of Sionics suppressors that were used on the original Ingram Sub machine gun? I see all the high tech designs, and there is certainly nothing wrong with them. But in the late 1970s or early 80s I met a guy at the local FOP range that had a...

    Who makes the best annealer...? Why?

    Hey guys, I've been contemplating buying an annealer for several years. I've had a couple of friends with them do my brass for me for probably 10 or 15 years. I did SOME hand work with a hand held propane torch back in the 1980s. But my old eyes are not what they used to be, even after...

    Minimum SAAMI chamber gauge...?

    I'm looking for minimum chamber gauge for 308. I know that you can buy them for pistol calibers. But I can't find any bigger than 223. I'm not talking about a case length gauge. But a gauge for checking loaded rounds. I have seen them before. But I can't remember where. Thanks in...

    Who / Which method of using stainless steel tumbling media is best?

    OK... I admit it. I'm old and set in my ways. I have all the stuff involved to tumble brass with the stainless steel pins. I've just been sitting on it trying to decide what way is best. How much of the lemon stuff vs. how much of the Dawn? Then some like to use the liquid car wash / wax...

    Maggie’s Yoga pants...?

    I saw something today while catching my breath at Costco. This young lady walked by swinging everything swingable, (on her body). And something drew my eye to her bottom half. She had on pants that looked like those spray paint deals. But it wasn't. I know I looked like an idiot because she...

    After a trip to my lung doctor today, my wife and I decided to go the 2 blocks to Big Ed's Pizza and have a GREAT pizza. We had not been there since Dave Neusel the owner, passed away, 25-OCT-2013. The business was started in 1970 by his father "Big Ed" Neusel. Ed was a US Marine and was...

    Suppressors Comparing suppressors by the numbers...?

    Does anyone know if there is a site that does a side by side test of different suppressors using a sound level meter? Maybe with different ammo in the same gun and then different ammo in different guns? Thanks in advance. Victor

    I bought a new GPS... Mistake?

    Hey guys. I had been thinking about a new Garmin GPS that Midway had listed for about $400. It had all the bells and whistles. The day after Christmas we went to the new (at least to us) COSTCO store in west Knoxville. Inside of 10 minutes in the store I spotted a big display for the...

    Gunsmithing Owner's Manuals Links...?

    A few months back either I found or someone sent me a page that had links to a whole bunch of makers and most if not all their guns. It had links to all different owners manuals for all kinds of guns. When my PC went belly up several weeks ago I lost that information. Can someone post that...

    WW2 Vet verication link?

    I have read several threads in YEARS past that you could go to and check out someone's service record. But I didn't record the link. Can someone pass that back to me? A man I used to know was always talking about being in on the Normandy invasion. I would just like to know for sure. When I...
