    Putting on Muscle?

    I decided that I'm a fat ass and want to get back in the kind of shape I was in 10 years ago, I recently changed my diet and picked up P90X to help get me started. I haven't started the workouts yet, mostly because I'm so out of shape I've been doing sit-ups, push-ups, curls and burpies to get...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Glock Trigger Job Review

    I posted this on another forum I go to, figured I'd cut and paste it to here too if anyone is intersted... I'm sure that in the recent Glock threads I've gone on record as being a Glock fanboy, and I am, but there are a few things that I've never been satisfied with on my out of the box Glocks...

    Roanoke Area?

    Well fellas, just accepted a job offer in Roanoke and will be headed that way in the next few days. I have a TON of stuff that I'll have to do between now and then, but my main concern right now is finding a place for me and the pup to live. The relocation package includes 30 days of temporary...

    Places to live outside of Chicago?

    I just had another interview with the company I already work for but in another department. If I get it, which I'm pretty sure I will get an offer, I'll be working in Chicago. I lived outside of the city about 17 years ago in the suburbs, a lot has changed since then and I don't even recognize...

    Gunsmithing Homemade Fiberglass Stocks?

    I've been doing some reading up on fiberglassing and making fiberglass molds, something I've never done before but doesn't look like something that would be outside my abilities. There's a lot of information out there about doing fiberglass work and making molds, but nothing I can find shows...

    Gunsmithing Glock barrel

    I posted about glock replacement barrels in the handgun section and got a lot of good replies and decided that I'm going to go with a drop in barrel that doesn't require fitting, BUT I am curious what is involved with fitting a glock barrel like a Wilson Combat? What would it cost to have...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Glock Replacement Barrels?

    Just wanted to hear if any of you have replaced your glocks with one of the aftermarket replacement barrels? I was looking around and it looks like Wilson Combat makes several different models. I'm looking to give my 21 a face lift from its stock configuration and give it new sights, polish up...

    Topic going to bottom of thread?

    When I click on a topic, for some reason the page will open and be somewhere in the middle or end of the thread. I checked out my preferences and don't see anything that would cause this. If there is a 3 page thread and I click on the topic, I might end up on page 2 half way down the page for...

    Thumlers Tumbler

    I picked up a Thumlers Tumbler model B about a year ago off CL, tested it out when I got it just to see if it worked and it did but haven't really used it since. Well, I plugged it in recently and the motor seems to get pretty hot after only a few minutes of use. This doesn't seem like something...

    Gunsmithing Southbend model A for gunsmithing?

    I just ran across this lathe on craigslist, I'm sure it will need work as the motor has been removed. Anyway, would this be suitable for gunsmithing? I know nothing about this model lathe. I imagine it would be hard to evaluate given that there is no motor in it right now, anything to look for...

    AverageJoe

    Anyone ever hear from that guy? I remember a few months back he pretty much had the worst f'ing luck I've heard of in a long time. Just hoping the guy is making it better now. Reference the "kicked while I'm really down" thread he posted. Doesn't look like he's been on the hide in a long while...

    Ebay Ripoff?

    I'm just curious if any of you have been ripped off on Ebay and how it went resolving the problem. I recently came across one of those "too good to be true" deals on ebay and based on the sellers 100% positive feedback over almost 900 sales transactions (mostly $500-1000 sales) I decided to...

    Sleep Apnea

    Any of yall have sleep apnea? I just had a sleep study done the other day and they said I quit breathing an average of 47 times an hour, which would explain why I'm tired all the time. Just curious if anyone here has experience with it and how much does the cpap help?

    Gunsmithing Oversize barrel channel?

    Are there any issues with having more material removed from the barrel channel than would be necessary for normal free floating of the barrel? Reason I ask is I'd like to go on and order a stock for my rifle, which is a bone stock winchester model 70, but future plans are to have the action...

    Winchester CRF in 223 rem?

    Has winchester ever made a model 70 pre-64 or classic in 223 remington? I've been watching gunbroker off and on for quite a while and the only thing I can find is either push feed model 70's or 223 wssm's with CRF. Maybe a caliber with the same bolt face dimensions even? I haven't turned up...

    Gunsmithing Barrel Making

    Just out of curiosity, how are cut rifle barrels made these days? I remember reading a while back that barrel making is kind of a black magic type of thing and the equipment to do so is done with old WW2 machines, no new barrel making equipment is being made. I don't know how much truth is in...

A few years ago I went deer hunting with my cousin. We decided that we were going to hunt together and that he would take the...

    Bullet Swaging Dies

    I'm interested in swaging my own jacketed bullets and wanted to get yalls ideas on something. From what I can gather there are only about 3 or 4 small opperations that make the dies, corbin being the biggest that I've found and they all seem to be fully custom die makers. That being said, they...
