      O/U barrels separated

      My Remington 3200 barrels are soft soldered. A little flux and a gentle reheat just might take care of the problem.

      Has Anyone Shot a S&W 17 or 41

      I've been shooting S&W model 41's since 1960. I've also owned a Browning Medalist, a High Standard Victor, a Browning Buck Mark and a few others that I can't remember. The only one of them that came close to the 41 was the Buck Mark. I will be shooting the 41 this afternoon. Please be aware...

      .45 ACP load help.

      I'm looking for suggestions for a clean burning 185 gr. target load in .45ACP. I'd like to be at about 700 - 750 fps. So far over the years I've tried 231/HP-38, bullseye, & Clays. They're all pretty darn dirty. The idea of locating another powder and spending $30 or so to make another 50 dirty...

      How has cataract surgery impacted your ability to focus on the front sight?

      Cataract surgery restored my ability to focus on a pistol front sight and to see a scope crosshair clearly on a rifle. No bad effects at all. Unfortunately, I developed a rare disorder in my right eye (Fuch's dystrophy) which required a cornea transplant about 12 years later. I can still see...

      Cutting vent rib barrel?

      This is an outstanding example of what used to be called "Yankee ingenuity". I guess we'll have to call it "Hoosier ingenuity". It looks great and solves the OP's problem very nicely.

      Reloading Die Brand?

      I started out using RCBS dies but switched to the Redding titanium sizing dies when they first came out about 50 years ago. I started using their micrometer seating dies when they came out some years later. My only exception to all this happiness is the Lee factory crimp die for the .357 Sig. It...

      Aging Eyes

      I've been wearing "progressive" (not liberal) lenses for general use including pistol shooting for several years. They work pretty well for me. Not perfect, but better than sitting home watching TV.

      New Sight time

      I've dealt with Dawson a couple of times and am glad to give them my highest recommendation. They even answer questions on the phone. Real good people.

      Numrich?

      broken bit... saved by magnet!

      I've been using torx bits in the small allen set screws for quite a while. They seem to get a much bettert grip.

      New Kimber Plant

      The announcement of a new Kimber facility in Troy, Alabama says that it will be a design, engineering and manufacturing operation. Can this be the start of a move to a friendlier location? "Don't surprise me none."

      Anyone used the NcStar sight installer

      After buying, using and discarding several "universal sight tools" I came across the "Sight-tool.com" made by 4x4 Machine in Poulsbo, WA. It's available on Ebay for about $68 and is the first one that never failed me. The only mod I have made is to add an additional pusher block so I don't have...

      Bobbed and skeltonized hammer

      If it sets the primer off, then no you didn't. In any case, you did a nice job.
