I store gunpowder in the same cabinet that I keep some some small tools in. Some of the tools have slight corrosion on them, some do not. Can gunpowder cause corrosion?

I have seen one thread about this NRA recall vote closed by the moderators because it was believed to be a "conspiracy theory" about Grover Norquist, and that Frank Gaffney is a "nut". If this thread gets closed, then so be it. But, the facts need to be told. Everyone needs to make their own...

The screws for the recoil pad on my Remington SP-10 are stripped out. They no longer have any wood to bite into. So I was thinking to glue in wood dowels to fill in the holes and then re-drill the holes again. My main reason for posting this is, this is the second gun where the recoil pad...

I have a Model 70 XTR, and I found the instruction manual for it at my fathers house. I must have forgotten about this manual for it when I moved out over 20 years ago. Today I read through it and it says the XTR models have the 3 position safety. 1. Fully On- It says the safety drawn in the...

My father gave me some .45 Auto ammo. They are Winchester`s 185 gr. Silvertip Hollow Points. This is the first time I have come across this type of ammo. I hardly ever buy factory loads. The cases on these cartridges have a grooved canalure around the middle of the case. What is the purpose...

This is a question for those that have used bore sighters. Laser or standard. When you use your bore sighter and if it has a cross hair leveler, does it also level the gun at the same time? My guess is they do not level the firearm, just the scope cross hairs to the target. So I think another...

Does any one have the Complete Gun Inventory 6 Pro from Heavy Metal Software? It is a software program that inventories your gun collection. I tried to download and install the Demo program on my computer. The program will not install because the software is not compatible with my O/S. But...

using something to plug up the end of barrels to pour gun cleaner in them, so I can let it soak for a while. Rubber would be an ideal material, but where can I find it in the diameters close to the size of the bores? Anyone have some ideas on what I can use and where to get it?

Today I was shooting my Ruger SBH .44 Magnum with moderate reloads. After the third shot I felt something hit the top of my head. :confused: I did not look to see what it was. I was sighting to fire off another shot when something looked funny, I then realized it was the front sight blade that...

Are most aerosol gun cleaners such as Birchwood Casey Gun Scrubber and Break Free the same as Brake Cleaner or Carburetor Cleaner? I am looking for a cheaper alternative. I have used Birchwood Casey, but it`s $11.99 a can. The carb and brake cleaner is only about $3.99 a can. Have any of you...

Just wanted to let you know that if you want some of your money going for pro-gun purposes instead of anti-gun like most businesses are, then Goodsearch.com will contribute to the NRA or any charitable group you choose. It`s like what Midway does with rounding to the nearest dollar. Here is a...

Do any of you guys that bought the M&P pistols remember when the $50 w/2 mags. rebate offer had to be post marked? The rebate offer ended on 04/30/2008, but had to be post marked by a certain date as well. I mailed mine out yesterday. 05/10/2008. Am I too late or is the post mark date what I...

I just picked up my new M&P .45. And I`m starting to think these guns are a piece of crap. I was getting accustomed to to the gun and was reading the manual on how to field strip the gun. When I try to put the slide back on the frame the take down lever will not go all the way up into the...

Does any one know if there are roll punches made for gunsmiths that do not mar up the pins on firearms? I use a rag between the punch and pin so that it does not mar the pin, but if I`m not careful the punch will go through the rag. Are there better pin punches out there? Are the pistol bench...

Can you shoot lead bullets from the M&P pistols? These are not like the Glock`s are they?

I was reading an article on Cannon safes, and I read that the manuf. says you can get more space by alternating them if you put the barrel down (butt up) on every other rifle. Do you store your rifles this way? What are your opinions on storing rifles with the barrel down? I have never done...

Yesterday I went to the range and shot my new 4-5/8" Ruger SBH .44 Magnum. And it bites the back of my hand between the thumb and forefinger. I think my hand is hitting the hammer on recoil and my middle finger is getting hit under the trigger guard. I tried to move my grip further back on the...

I think I remember someone posting here a question about the lube on cast bullets falling off. Can`t find that post anymore. I bought some cast bullets and the lube fell off part way on a bunch of them. Does this effect anything? Do you do anything to replace it?

In my 30 years of reloading I have never trimmed any of my cases. I did not shoot bottle neck cases that much to where they exceeded the max. length. I just bought a case trimmer and I want to trim all my cases in all the calibers I have. It is good practice to even trim straight wall cases if...

This is a question for bullet casters. I have been thinking about going back to casting bullets again that I used to do about 25 years ago. I was just doing it for fun and did`nt know much about alloys back then. I am considering taking it up again because of rising costs of materials. So, I...
