Me and a buddy was talking about how cool it would be to have a .45 that smells like bacon. That got me to thinking, how hard would it be to come up with a salt-free lube that smells like bacon? How much lubrication abilities does bacon grease have? How does one measure the viscosity of bacon...

I feel like I've really done well this month. I've kinda been keeping up with the threads from the guys who've obtained S&W 1917's and it's got me to thinking about my latest 1917. It came to me without the smooth GI grips and lanyard ring. Well through diligent search and patience, I managed...

Has anyone ordered the wood AR furniture kit (stock, grip, handguards)? Was there any major fitting issues? What was the resultant overall satisfaction? I've been interested in such a thing for quite a while now, and now that money, time, and oportunity all seem to be in my favor- I think...

Anybody know how to remove the grips from a Governor? There are no screws, holes, plugs, or anything else that looks relative to the process.

The little group I shoot bullseye matches with have this thing about marking their centerfire brass with magic marker, fingernail paint, etc to identify their brass. Does anyone know of a reasonably consumer obtainable chemical that will color, dis-color, or stain brass? I'm not a chemist and...

Has the color for Empty Chamber Indicators been standardized? Will either red or white ones be allowed? I've been googling chamber flags and such, and find most are yellow- and average $9.95. Call me a cheap son of a gun, but I can make all sorts of those things with coffee swizzle sticks...

Just getting into this (didn't take long to get hooked!) and was wondering about a couple of things. 1. The rules say I am responsible for my scorebook. Where do I get one? 2. I am FT Police- it says I have to tell them, but it's just me that shoots with this group. How are they going to...

Been eyeballing my newly acquired 788 in .308 flavor and come up with a question or two. 1. Did nobody ever make leupold type 2-piece scope bases? All I can find are 1-piece and aluminum weaver style (#'s 75 and 76- don't care for 'em). 2. Peep sight bases. Do, or should, I go with a .22...

At work, I have been tasked with our new Project Childsafe/Homesafe Program. In that, I will be distributing cable gunlocks and informational brochures to those who Veterans and employees who want them. Now to the question. The gunlocks are the 8" cable/padlock type (no trigger locks...

Ugh, they're at it again. This isn't a drive-by, but something I've spent quite a bit of time in ponderance over. An article in the Stars And Stripes (re)visits the M4/M16 issue. Says it isn't good enough at extended ranges. Heard that one before. Says the round is too weak at extended...

I just ordered the .45ACP cylinder for my Uberti 1875 Remington Outlaw from VT Gunparts. Has anyone ever ordered or fit a new cylinder to a Uberti that didn't come as part of the set package? Anybody ever run into any problems in this area? Thanks

Anybody loaded .45AR with IMR Trail Boss? I've been eyeballing that combination quite hard since I've found out they (infrequently) make .45ACP cylinders for the Cimmaron 1875 Remington Army Outlaw's. Might even give it a whirl in my 25-2 with the AR's if I can find starting and stopping spots...

I stumbled across a link for the new Remington R1 1911. Except for the Series 80 style mechanism- I haven't found any dislikes about this thing yet (judging from the pic and article). I'm guessing Remington will make their release date of May 20th, but has anyone here have any more info...

Hey all, I recently acquired a 1978 Win 70 XTR SA in .243 and I am curious about the lack of info on the rear bridge hole spacing and the correct Redfield 2-piece mounts. Does anyone know if these...

Woo-Hoo! In the event anyone was looking for loaded .45AR for shooting or for the brass- Graf and Sons has 230gr, 50rnd boxes, made by Precision CTG http://www.grafs.com/product/266176 That stuff has ben hard to come by for a while, and it's lead ball (which I like anyhow)- so it looks like I...

My Dad just recently got into pistol shooting and I found out he's been shooting my uncle's bring back papered P38. OK, that don't bug me too much as the pistol is in very good shape. But before my Aunt passed on, she gave my Pa some old ammunition. When I finally got to take a peek at it- I...

I've been studying page 78 of Mr Kuhnhausen's Vol II 1911 Shop Manual and I'm not much better off than when I started. My 2nd hand SA GI (WW ser#) 5" came to me with an extractor that was in the neighborhood of 1.2". And believe it or not- it did not eject. I cut it back to .965", or .784" at...

Hold on ya'll- I feels a rant coming on. This is in no way meant to put anybody down or to poke anybody with sharp sticks, but there's something I gotta get off my chest. It seems to me there has been an increase in posts with concerns over parts. Don't get me wrong, parts are good... for the...

Found a source for the ever elusive Mini 14 20rnd mags for the 6.8! http://andean-inc.com/Merchant5/merchant.mvc?Screen=CTGY&Store_Code=TAOS&Category_Code=mini143068mag

Does anyone know what became of Mr. Goetz who was charged and convicted in NY for a shooting in a subway structure wherein, if I recall correctly, either he was being assaulted/robbed or he was defending a third person? That was quite a while ago- way before Heller and the man for whom a judge...
