    Gunsmithing ? re 1911 cycling failure

    Hey there folks, a puzzle submitted for the collective wisdom. The patient - Springfield Armory 1911. Base model. Couple years old. Stock. Maybe 1000 rounds. Cleaned and lubed after every outing. Treated gently. The symptom - consistent failure to cycle/eject completely on an outing earlier...

    Maggie’s Rednecks and gorillas

    A small zoo in Georgia obtained a very rare species of gorilla. Within a few weeks the gorilla, a female, became very difficult to handle. Upon examination, the veterinarian determined the problem. The gorilla was in heat. To make matters worse, there was no male gorilla available...

    Scratch another B17

    Damn. I ponied up for a ride on this plane a few years back during one of its stops in Seattle. Amazing to ride with the ghosts of those who flew her in combat. http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/nationworld/chi-110613-b17-plane-crash-pictures,0,3672607.photogallery

    Gunsmithing ar 15 trigger ?s

    Have a Bushmaster AR. Trigger is caca. Anything I can do myself to make it smoother? Best left to a smith? Or am I looking at a new Timney/Jewell/etc? Not looking for match grade performance, just trying to put the fear of God into cans and bottles out to a hundred yards or so.

    M1A wood stock finish

    Springfield M1A. Walnut stock, which seems kinda dry. Been told that it came from the factory with BLO. Should I go with a straight BLO? Cut it? With what? To what ratio? Any application tricks? Would like to keep a matte finish, rather than trying to build up a gloss. Thanks

    M1A scope base ?s

    Have a Springfield M1A 12xxxx - early 90's I think. I wanna put a scope on it. Looking at McCann Industries base. By the time I put the base on the receiver, and the (low)rings on the base, the scope seems to be sitting waaaaay up there. Gonna need a cheek pad for the stock to have any...

    Trigger for varmint build

    Thinking about putting together an AR varminter for coyotes. Thought I'd get some fun out of accumulating the parts through gunshows, the PX here, auction arms, etc. rather than buying something off-the-shelf. Looking for guidance on trigger assemblies. Does it matter? Have come across Timney(?)...

    Rifle Scopes How to evaluate used scopes?

    Lotso bandwidth spent on discussing pros and cons of various scope manufacturers. How about some advice for those of us who have narrowed our choices, and are at the gunshow looking for a good deal on a used unit. How can we tell if we're looking at someone else's problem? What do we look for as...
