A wounded and isolated Russia remains dangerous. Russia’s illegal and unprovoked
invasion of Ukraine drew global condemnation and prompted Finland and Sweden to
join NATO. On the battlefield,...

Jim, I’ve used a lot of Duracoat, even painted the Front Door of my house with the stuff. It’s pretty tough easy to apply but has a really short shelf life. It’s also a two part paint. After painting...

It is cheaper than DuraCoat for sure... I'll be ordering some on payday. Thanks for the lead and tips!

Thank you for the Norells lead, I've never heard of it; I've been using DuraCoat but found it doesn't hold up well to UV. So, I will give this a try! I looked on the web site and its a good price,...

I was out on Brownells website looking at a their gun paint, I was looking to paint an old Montgomery Wards (Mossberg 500) aluminum receiver that’s needs a facelift. Can’t find anywhere in San Diego...

I have the same issue with all three of my safes... Was at Sportsmans Whearhouse and saw one of those safedoors for a room. I was taking a close look and without me saying anything my wife just said...

I have a Chinese Type 53 Mosin Nagant rifle from Vietnam. One of the older guys Ringer in my SEABEE Unit brought it back, some guy was taking pot shots at them when they were working and he shot him...

It's a beautiful set of SKSs! The two first SKSs I bought were, I think, in the late 80s at the Gun Show at the Vallejo, CA fair grounds. Back then, SKSs were not thought well of as "Russin Junk,"...

I notice that depending on the material, the dimensions change, but they usually are smaller, not larger. If I print with PLA or PLA Plus, the part will be -.005" ~ -.008". There is not much to play...

So, I have been messing around with my 3D printer again. I needed a timing block to use on a couple of Ethopean M1 Garands I purchased. Rather than borrow one from one of the other RSOs at the range...

Interesting way to open the can.. what a chore!

Seat the bullet deeper, then pull the bullet. Setting...

I ordered a custom sporter barrel for a Remington 700 Short Action receiver I had; while I was at it, I had the company square the receiver, lap the lugs, and install a .250 recoil lug, I had the...

I agree with you. In addition, I would expect that a Flat-Base open end (exposing the lead) would obturate faster and better than closed-base bullets.

Charlie, I think you misunderstood. I want to keep the painted-on numbers (see picture) and was wondering if the Natural Turpentine would dissolve the paint so I could figure out the best way to...

I didn't see any, but I did see a bunch of VZ 52/57. However, they are converted to 7.62X39.

Bruce,

I slugged the barrel on my Type 99, and the Grove is .315" and Bore Dia is .302" - I slugged it twice and got the same measurement using my Mititoyo calipers, which have a +/-0.001 in...

Turns out the M1 Garand I bought is an Ethiopian the folks at RTI (I know, I know, RTI) told me this Garand I ordered from them likely arrived in Ethiopia in the late 1950’s to late 1960’s.

These...

Charlie,

I know I'm replaying to a very old post but I've got a question. How aggressive is this cleaning process? I ask because I would like to try it on a rifle but don't want to remove the...

Ain't that the truth!

Well. after being outbid on six M1 Garands, I think some people just bid for fun because there is NO WAY that some of the rifles I bid on were worth what they went for; I just settled on an M1 Garand...

Bruce, Not sure what you mean by "GROOVE"

I'm using an unaltered rifle that was a bring back....

Hi Jim, Yes that style. I did see those but I believe they are Chinese Type 53. I am hoping to find a Polish or Romanian which is the closest. Thanks for the help

I said I wasn't going to buy any more rifles until I got one more M1 Garand. Well.. I went to the gun store to buy some Singapore HF 7.62 Ammunition and noticed a Polish M44 sitting on the rack. I...
