I get a lot of newsletters from different retailers and outlets of gun accessories. Lately I can't count how many e-mails I'm getting urging me to "buy now before it's gone". "High capacity magazines in stock, buy while you still can" "Get these pistol braces while they're still allowed"...

https://fkbrnous.com/psd/ Been a minute since I posted around the forums. Haven't been shooting a ton, some due to health issues and a lot due to ammo availability this year. Shootability of guns has become very important to me as I deal with effects of some chronic illnesses, can't shoot as...

Anybody own one of these and have a decent amount of time with it? Been thinking about getting a fun .22 lately. Can't stop thinking that this little gun would be quite the fun plinker or shooter, especially with a red dot, stabilizing brace and maybe even a suppressor down the road :eek...

I never thought I'd be recoil sensitive, but here I am. I found out last year that I have narcolepsy, a lifelong neurological condition. It doesn't stop me from shooting, carrying or driving as I'm under treatment with regular checkups. Let's not dwell on this too much, it's just background...

So I've gotten into something of a dangerous habit of watching Gunbroker to find good deals on historical firearms... even more dangerous because I've been successful a number of times! Anyways, one particular interest of mine has always been turn of the century firearms, especially those...

I decided recently that I wanted to invest in a "duty" style AR in order to take part in tactical-style training and competitions. In my area there is a carbine club that hosts defensive carbine matches as well as SPR/DMR competitions (all for fun and practice, not sanctioned matches). I'd...

A reader for my website recently requested an article on examining guns for damage, and I thought it was a good idea. I want to put together some common examples of damage that can make a gun unsafe to fire. Things like cracked or mushroomed bolt lugs, cracks in breech face, bulged...

Just got back from the 2018 Precision Rifle Expo. This was a 2 day event held at the Arena Training Facility in Blakely, Georgia. The purpose of the event was to bring together the shooting sports community and to help get shooters involved in the long range shooting sport. Obviously, a lot of...

This weekend I'll be going to the first annual precision rifle expo in Blakely, Georgia. Lots of big manufacturers there, classes on long range shooting, even some live fire ranges. Maybe there will be some new product announcements there. If not we'll still get to hear from some very well...

I went on a little bit of a spree lately, searching Gunbroker for project guns to work on to keep in practice pistol smithing and maybe record some stuff for my YouTube/website. I went to the gun store today and picked up these 3 guys who made their way to me from around the US: A vz. 70...

I had a goofy little idea pop in my head the other day. Kind an educational little novelty. What about a coloring book of detailed drawings of historical firearms, plus educational information. Each gun would have a little technical info chart plus a full page description of the history of the...

Hey everybody, I'm working on a section of my website where I list free online resources for people looking for information. Right now thinking about three sections: one for gunsmiths, competition shooters, and new shooters. These would include references such as headspace interchangeability...

I have always wanted a High Standard .22. In fact, there's a Sport King at a local shop that I had been looking at for a little while. But I'm in a busy spot right now where I'm saving money for something really important to me and trying to focus on my future goals. So gun purchases were not...

I'm looking for a reality check. Earlier this year I bought my first factory precision rifle. All of the precision (centerfire) shooting I've done has been with custom rifles, usually on high-end actions (Kelbly, Stiller, Badger, etc.) on high-end barrels that we fitted and chambered. When I...

I was scrolling Facebook the other day when I came across this beauty in a gunsmithing group posted by Thomas "Speedy" Gonzalez who is a renowned gunsmith and benchrest shooter. As a gunsmith and precision rifle shooter myself I thought this thing was awesome. I contacted Mr. Gonzalez (great guy...

Hello everybody, some of you that I've talked to frequently know that I went to school to study gunsmithing. I graduated about this time last year. In that time, I worked for two companies (a growing custom precision rifle company and a US manufacturer of AK 47 type firearms). For reasons I'd...

I know there are a number of great books for re barreling and building custom bolt action rifles and some semi auto handguns. I'm looking for books or resources custom revolver builds. Of particular interest to me is double action custom revolvers for hunting, IDPA, PCC, Bullseye, "tactical"...

Recently I bought my first rifle in many months, intending to get back into the Precision Rifle Series Production Division. I got a Savage Model 10 BA Stealth in 6.5 Creedmoor which I was overall pretty happy with. Being on a budget, I also equipped it with the following: Stoner Engineering...

For years I have been posting on the internet through forums, Facebook, YouTube, and several other platforms that most people have never heard of. I have decided this year to really invest in my competition shooting and at home gunsmithing, and to do that I wanted to invest in a platform that...

I posted another thread earlier about a Mauser HSc that I found sitting, abused, in a used gun shop near by. I bought it for the princely sum of $145, intending to use it as a refinishing project. I haven't done many personal gunsmithing projects lately, and I am working on some instructional...
