      Just watched Wind River... now I kind of want a Marlin M1895SBL

      The OP's Marlin is the exact model I've been dreaming about for years. I always thought it was called the Alaskan brush hunter or some such? I was always planning to move back to the Northern Rockies though, and it never happened. Yet. So I talk myself out of a new rifle, sling, and deep...

      Are there any good AKs left?

      I'm sure it was. I'm looking to get the best AKs I can for the money (around $1k) based on the criteria that I want it reliable, lasting, and reasonably accurate (it's an ak, I get that.), and i've apparently ruffled some feathers. This thread has evolved and branched, as threads do. Arsenal is...

      Are there any good AKs left?

      The guy just made $1600 from two rifles and the buyer is a cheap ass? I'm not following that line of logic. $1600 is a significant chunk of change, and i'm fanatical about guns. Looking around, I'm seeing the Arsenal SAM7SF going for around $1400. I like the forged and milled receiver, but I...

      INGO Classifieds - An observation

      I disagree. I have my latest build posted for less than a new M&P 15. And I can assure you, S&W can't cobble AR's like I can. But it's a build, and so it requires a lengthy description to inform a potential buyer what it is exactly they are getting. And I understand that it being...

      INGO Classifieds - An observation

      People can charge whatever they please for their goods. My bottom line is, if you want to move it, make it reasonable. Period. You don't have to sell for what people want and people don't have to pay what you expect.

      Are there any good AKs left?

      So what is the difference between the WBP and the Arsenal? I've seen the Arsenal has a junk finish, but what's the problem with the WBP, if any? I know I'm leaving the WASR out here, but it still leaves a bad taste in my mouth from its CAI import days. That's a tough pill to swallow...

      Are there any good AKs left?

      Kreb's was exactly what I had in mind when I said "that isn't a custom" (or whatever I said). Looking to keep it within the 1k range, plus or minus $200, and getting two. I'd never heard of Copper Custom. Generally I stay away from anything with custom in the title because they tend to be...

      Are there any good AKs left?

      So between the 107r and Polish WBP? I see there's a difference in price but is the Arsenal still the better choice? The Polish? $100 better? I'd hate to think that extra $100 is for wood furniture when the stock and upper handguard will likely be replaced... I have fairly low expectations when...

      Smithing knives from recycled materials

      If you're ever in my neck of the woods, i've got 1000's out in the barn. Literally 1000's. Ranging from near new, to heavily pitted (I use the pitted ones when teaching folks to shape steel). No charge. I may even still have a few sections of rail you could grind down into a makeshift anvil...

      Smithing knives from recycled materials

      FWIW, make sure the head is stamped HC. Newer spikes are some bizarre alloy. All that rust is a dead give-away as well. Soak mine in a bucket of apple cider vinegar for a day before scrubbing them down with a broad wire brush, like for a grill. Also, it's illegal to walk the tracks and collect...

      Smithing knives from recycled materials

      There isn't a whole lot of scrap out there I haven't repurposed into a knife at the forge. Latest forging was a damascus blade hammered from industrial braided steel cable. Holds up pretty well. I forge a ridiculous amount of blades from railroad spikes. The High Carbon ones. I'll generally...

      Slide milling

      Norsso out of Vegas if you want to ship out, and have deep pockets. $135 for an RMR cut on a Glock. You've gotta ship the RMR with your slide so they can get that custom fit. They do great work but AllenM, as suggested, would do just as well without the shipping costs and wait, depending on...

      WTS: AR-15 "Dura-Build"

      Those were craftsmen.

      I've got a book I picked up at B&N regarding gunsmithing in the "old" days. Very interesting read and informative for those looking to build adapt their shops to handle low tech smithing such as in a post-SHTF scenario. I will edit this post when I get home with the tomes title. Edit: The...

      Picture uploads when selling gun

      Maybe invest in a few more strokes next time. Come up with a picture worth looking at? :p

      FFL Applicaiton

      We went through ffl123.com. I don't know if it's entirely necessary, but it simplified things greatly and eliminated a lot of potentially damning errors.

      What firearm did you purchase that was a waste of your money

      Take a mill to them. Make 'em equally useless boomerangs.
