I need (want) a smith to fit a takeoff rimfire match barrel to a Remington 514 action to be used as a squirrel gun. The barrel is out of the .0001 inch classification the bench people want but should have a long life as a hunting/pest rifle. Who is recommended here, and should the barrel be...

Has anyone heard from him? My scale has been there since July; I contacted him at the end of November (the return scale was "lost in the mail"...he said). He was applying to USPS for insurance...but since late November, no contact. I've emailed and called his number. No response. If anyone...

For years now, I've used Brasso...since 1954 to be exact...to shine my brass; band instruments, buckles, insignia...whatever accouterments my uniform required. Band, Navy or Army. Decent results but a lot of work. Well, I was polishing a brass lamp I got in Thailand back in the 60's and...

Is it just my new computer, or have the sidebars and ads grown so much that it is hard to address the posts?

Looking for Scott Parker. Sent my scale off about 3 weeks ago, but haven't received a confirmation of delivery...and I can't find his address on here. Can anybody help me contact him? Thanks.

I need (want would be a better word) a smith to install aftermarket sights on a couple of older 1911's. One who wouldn't take a year. The Hide ops recommendations or volunteers? Thanks. FNP

Disclaimer...this isn't Ceracote. However, for those who wish to coat their rifles, but don't have the $200 or so...especially the Savage fans...a "stop-gap" measure is nearby at your auto supply store. They sell spray cans of "VHT Header coating". It is supposidly a ceramic spray paint for...

What powder have the hide members found for that use...low flash, nearly full power, in a short barrel (3") .357, using 125 grain bullets?

This year is UNIQUE. This year's date for Veteran's day is: The eleventh hour, of the eleventh day, of the eleventh month, of the eleventh year. 11/11/11/2011. Assuredly, the Veterans should stand up for that. Do check with your local VFW and other service clubs for celebrations. Won't...

Why is it, with all the technical and CAD savvy available, that the designers and manufacturers of the pocket autos cannot in their wisdom incorporate either a surround boss to protect the mag release from in the pocket inadvertent dropping of the magazine, or use the European method of a butt...

I have just been in correspondence with CT. I have a pair of grips that has developed an intermittent switching problem. Sometimes it lights, and sometimes not. I asked them if they could fix it and what the cost would be. They stated that 1. That model had been discontinued, and 2: They...

Yesterday, 4/16/2011, Staff SGT Jason Rogers of Brandon, Mississippi, was laid to rest. He was in his sixth deployment to foreign shores, 5 to Iraq and Afghanistan. He was a combat engineer on a IMD patrol, and gave his life to save his friends. For three days there was much outpouring of...

Where should I look to find armorer/detail strip/maintenance type manuals for the Sig Sauer 228/229 series and the Beretta M92 FS models? Lots of pubs for the 1911 and Glock platforms but seeming scarce for the aforementioned. Thanks. FNP

Question for the more experienced shooters: When we as reloaders strive to tailor the loading for our rifle, bullet and powder...searching hard to find the OCW where .3 grs +/- (in the .308 and +/- .5 gr in a bigger hammer), so that the variation of all rounds fired hit in the same vertical...

I have, over the years, tried most of the reloading accuracy tips. Primer pocket truing and inside flash hole reaming, weighing and sorting cases, turning necks, polishing inside the necks, weighing all charges V/S dropping charges, ad nauseum. Adjustable front rests, heavy sand in the rear...
