I love Hickok45 for the history lessons and the fact he shoots Guns your average joe has access too. Demolition Ranch is a bit predictable with the outcomes of his "will it" videos. AK Operator's Union is great for Rob Ski's torture tests and no BS reviews, but it's strictly AK'sband the VERY...
The possibility of ambidextrous controls (left handed) coupled with a fingerless grip got me all hot under the collar a few months back, but if they gimp it out with that thumb switch, I'll stick with my gen 3 17. Really hoping they go back to the slide treatment they used to have. I've gouged...
As previously stated. Take 'em to small claims. They have no business, being in business, if that's acceptable work by their standards. I won't be taking my 597there for a thread job, that's for damn sure. And thanks for the heads up. I was considering it.
If I'm understanding you correctly, wcd, that actually aounds like a blast. From 5 feet away lol. Reminiscent of playing duck hunt back in the late 80's by putting the gun up against the screen.
Own it. Might burn it. Complete rubbish. Black and white, grainy photos and read a lot like Nessmuk's camping and woodcraft. Only Nessmuk could write. Not a lot of application if you aren't planning to actually live that way. Might even be useful as a last resource means for some day to day...
That was "Goodbye, World." wasn't it? Where a text was sent to every cell in the world at the same time and it crashed the system? I believe the guy that sent it was actually at that retreat up in the mountains. There was some wife-swapping drama and then some ex-military boys rolled in to town...
If you've been a long time Survivalist/self defense proponent, you won't find anything new. I tend to steer more towards the depart from modern society/self reliance bent.
I've been seeing this for years now, anywhere that has a magazine rack. Offgrid is a shoot off from Recoil Magazine and seems to be popular. Modern Pioneer, Mother Earth News, etc. Are a few more. I'm a long time fan of The Backwoodsman. Only Rag I'll religiously spend my money on. Most firearms...
Yeah I don't know that I'm all that desperate, and I figure the steel cases will be pretty rusted by the time I am. Thanks for the input guys. I think I'll probably just pitch the steel but it's good to know all of the brass is good to go, considering I have it all mixed together in an ammo can.
To explain my previous question, my local Gunsmith frequently comes up with excuses why any particular job can't be done. This time, I wanted a .22 threaded and he told me he had the capability, but the DoJ recently classified barrel threading as firearm manufacturing.
I'm beginning to suspect...
"Remington UMC is filthy." 2nd that. I actually sold a nearly new Commander recently (for a pittance) because All I could get in .45 when O was buying was UMC and it was such a pain to clean. Aguila in 9mm runs pretty well but I've only ever shot it out a Glock 17 and the old ladies 26. They'll...
And as an aside-I specifically stated ANY feasable uses in the title because there's going to be some folks with whacky ideas and uses outside the reloading stratum, and I love those people.
Just as the topic stated. We're looking to start reloading this fall/winter and i've heard mixed responses to this question from a flat out NO on reloading, to a YES but extremely difficult. So which is it? Details? It's all Tul steelcase, boxer primed 9mm and .223 if that makes a difference...
I will say that a firearm is a tool and the worse thing you could do, is relegate something you've carried and relied on for so many years to some dusty bookshelf as a "conversation piece". It does the tool and the memory a great injustice.
There was an ongoing torture test by some gentleman in a popular publication some years back, concerning a Glock 17 Gen 1 he bought when they first hit the market back in the 80's. I believe he went 288k rounds before any sort of mechanical failure. A $5 fix regarding the striker or something in...
Dark Eagle custom makes savage mags. They're not cheap, but they are higher capacity. And they're still cheaper than a chassis with additional AICS mags.
That being said, a chassis will almost certainly be more accurate than any factory standard offerings. My 116 weather warrior sits in a...
No intention of hojacking the thread here, but has anyone heard the DoJ classified Barrel threading as Gun Manufacturing recently? Just looking for a confirmation...
