think I got it.

About 15 years ago my duck hunting buddy and me were hunting in the floodwaters of the MS. River when it was 23 ft. above flood stage. We were right on the edge of a big open spot in a 12 ft. aluminum boat. the boat blind had fallen down and all we had for camo was the netting laying in the...

Knight MK-85. Over the years I have marked my ramrod by scratching it at the desired depth for my current load. This has resulted in several marks and I have trouble knowing which one to use. Is there a way to repaint it or does it have to be anodized? Do I have to geta new one and where? thanks.

dfariswheel, you seem to be the man when it comes to wood. I used your Minwax procedure with great results. I've been given an old Superposed that is in horrible shape and am trying to keep the costs down refinishing it, already going to have to send it to Midwest for blueing and French gray. I...

I have a one of those adjustable Universal charge bars for a MEC and have lost the adjustment sheet. If someone could copy and e-mail or fax it for me I would really appreciate it. Please PM me.

a friend is about to give me a Pigeon Grade Broadway ribbed Superposed. To any of you who have one or have experience, I wanted to know if it makes an O.K. dove field gun too or is the wide rib too weird? thank you

Blackhawk .45 colt. Case sticks in one hole every time after firing. Remove the cylinder and knock it out with something. I'm sure the throats are tight on the rest of the cylinder as that is the norm w/old 45 hawks. Who is the best person to send it to and can I send just the cylinder?

I have never done any type of checkering but would like to know what tools are needed and the level of difficulty? Thanks.

I love the 1911 and am excited by the new Ruger, the only affordable 1911 that has ever excited me. Everybody makes one though. I would like to see someone (Ruger would be good) make a good, affordable Hi-Power. Who else would like to see this?

People please do not throw away or destroy guns you don't like. I have seen several instances of this on here where people were unhappy with reliability or something else and threw a gun away. No matter how big of a POS you think something is, somebody wants it. Offer to give it to somebody here...

Just got an Iver Johnson break top .32 short in the mail from auction. The cylinder spins freely when the pistol is closed in firing condition. When it is cocked in single action it locks up correctly w/the cylinder hole lined up with the barrel. also ends up correctly lined up after pulling the...

I have an old Rem 511 that I would like to have an integrally suppressed barrel put on. I wanted opinions on who makes the best barrel for the money and approximate costs. Thank you.

Anyone in the Houston,TX area that can give me a real good deal on 4 transfers. Dad bought 3 old Iver Johnson top breaks and a Stevens Crackshot without realizing that they must be shipped to an FFL. He already grossly overpaid for the guns so I want to keep the xfer fee as low as possible...

My father just bought these and I am curious as to opinions on value and quality. this is my first foray into collecting old top breaks. Thank you. U.S Revolver .32 [/IMG] Stevens Model 25 .25 Iver Johnson .32 H&R .38S&W [/IMG]

Does anyone know if firearms fall under the standard 14 year patent law? For instance, if I wanted to start making Colt Pythons, could Colt do anything about it?

How do some of you get that pretty, completely filled, smooth coverage on your glassing jobs? I have used the Brownells acra-glas in the past and mix with the wooden tongue deppresser and try to apply it evenly with voidless coverage and have only been able to get ugly, stringy, coverage with...

You're not receiving PM's and I have a question about your Minwax Antique Oil finish method. Do you ever put a stain on it first? Thank you.

I use leather often for vise jaw pads when working on guns, especially when it has to be clamped on tight. Don't throw away those worn out Red Wing work boots. Rip out the stitching and save the uppers, they work great when cut to size. You can also cut into thin strips to use as zipper pulls.

I am about to refinish a couple of stocks using Dfariswheel's method,http://TheFiringLine.com/forums/showthread.php?t=231310&referrerid=24896 I put tape over the checkering to try to avoid damage when sanding but some damage was inevitable. 1.- At what point during the refinishing should I...

There is a real good milsurp forum out there that also has step by step tutorials on disassembly & reassembly of most milsurps. I've lost the address and it's time to put my Arisaka back together! Does anyone know which site I'm talking about?
