Okay this might be anther one of those questions that may make you think I have too much time on my hands... I was looking at a Turk Mauser action, 98 threaded to small ring. The ID is .98 and true large ring has an ID of 1.1, this is a difference of .12". Would it be feasible to chase the...

A while back, I saw a web page where some guy discribed a method of cleaning up dark rifle bores. It promised to clean up the dark to almost/near shiny condition. Of course, I didn't book mark the page. If I remember the process it involved household ammonia :eek:, Bon Ami cleanser or similar...

Okay guys, I know we have been through this before, but bear with me. I want to rebuild a Mauser 98 action that I have in a smaller caliber. I am leaning towards a 6mm PPC, 223 or similar small cartridge. All the others that I have built have been cartridges based on the 30.06 cartridge, .243...

Hello, I'm sure this topic has been beaten to death. Unfortunatly the search feature has been out of commission and I'm getting ready to place an order with Brownell's. I need to bed a rebuilt Mauser that was dropped in a Carbolite stock. Is there a particular glass bedding compound that...

This is a question that has preplexed me for a time now. Some of you may remember me nagging about this some time ago. I have a Belgin HP. I wanted to getthe magazine to drop free of the gun when the release is pressed. Well, i did find someone who made it happen. I never found out what he did...

I'm build the wife a Commander style pistol for an putting up with me for this many years present (AKA anniversary (present). I want a real kick 'em good round. I like what I see on the 400 Corbon. She handles my 1911's in 45 very well, so she can handle this guy. ANy comments on this caliber?

Does anyone know of a company that manufactures new Large Ring Mauser 98 actions? A little while ago I found a custom rifle builder that had them listed on his websight for around $450. Naturally I forgot to book mark the page. I have found some others but their actions were in the thousands of...

If you had to buy only one book on the AR15, which would it be? I have the Army and Marine Corps manuals. I am interested in a book that covers accuracy modifications, reloading for the AR and other tid bits. Thanks.

Hello, Man, am I fustrated. Does anyone know if there is a bore sighter that will work with an AR15 handle mounted scope? I just had a long morning sighting a scope. This scope was so far out that at 25 yards, I wasn't even hitting the paper. I couldn't see where the rounds were going. And...

I mentor a young man as part of a Youth at Risk Program conducted by my employer. This is a good kid, that has had some bad breaks in his life. He has a strong aptitude in mechanical skills and we have tried to capitalize on this. To try to help him find his nitch, he worked as summer help in my...

Is it okay to use a 45 cal ejector with a .40 cal (357 Sig). Or does this require a different ejector. I have dug around several places, including Brownell's and do not see an ejector listed in 40. If the answer to the first question is yes, who makes them? And is the longer "match" ejectors...

When fitting a barrel in 1911 in a different caliber, does the frame ramp to barrel mouth distance stay the same? FWIW, the 45 cal gap is about 1/32", would this be the same for all calibers? I just ordered an unramped 357 Sig barrel and this question popped in my head. All my shop manuals only...

A bit ago, I replaced the bushing in my !#**&%#@ Llama 1911 clone in 38 Super. Well, the lesson of buying cheap parts was learned well. After about 300 rounds, the bushing cracked. Okay, no sweat, picked up a good one. Fitted it nicely, now the slide hangs up when the slide is retracted all the...

Hello, I am currently getting ready to build my own 1911 pistol. (One of those keep me from playing in the street, winter projects). Is there any differences between in a 10mm slide, or can I use a standard 45 caliber slide? Thanks.

Over the past few months I have been trying to make a silk purse out of a sow's ear. So far so good. I have tightened the slide to frame, smoothed the action and a few other little bits. So far the gun has gone from 12" groups at 15 yards to about five. Still not stellar, but it is getting...

Please, help me settle an disagreement. I remember reading some place that Winchester uses 296 as their factory powder for handguns. My friend says that it is 231. Anyone know? Thanks.

Folks, let me toss a ray of sunshine into everyone's lives. I have been using Timney triggers for a time on my rifles. I like them because they are easy to install, easy to adjust and inexpensive. I was rebuilding a FN Mauser and installed a Timney Trigger. Well, something I never seen happened...

Hi, I'll bet this has been beaten to death on this board, but it needs to be asked. I have a rifle in a synthetic stock that is simply begging to be bedded. How does the glass bedding compound stick to the synthetic material? I have heard that after a short time the reciever and glass bedding...

Okay, I have not read the entire article, but the Mrs. read it aloud to me while I was here on TFL. The Tucson Comrade is (those of you who get it page 3A) stating that we should lay in supplies, have cash on hand and be ready for power outages that may last up to a few weeks. Has anyone else...
