Consider transferring some of them to their 'future' owners in advance, so if the laws in the future get worse, the guns won't be seized upon your death. Another idea is a friend of mine says his wife gets the collection, since the money invested in it represented to some extent things she did witho...

Cool trick. I'll have to try it.

I have the opposite problem with a set of sights (a rear blade, actually) I just got for a Redhawk. It is too THICK.

Maybe what we need is a 'Goldilocks' sight - not to thick, not to thin.

My biggest question I guess is, are the Lee Dippers as accurate as advertised? At first glance, it would seem like a good idea, scoop and go. I assume it would be advisable to periodically weigh loads as well just to be sure. Thanks I've weighed 'thrown' charges from my powder measure(s) and from t...

The recent pneumonias going around (including influenza, some other influenza-like viruses, and both streptococcal and non-strep bacterial pneumonias) have been unusually severe this year . Many patients are hit hard and fast with it, and several deaths have occurred, despite what seems to be very ...

I started with the lee 'classic loader' for a .44 Mag and a target version of the same (with micrometer seating, inside neck reamer, etc.) for a 6mm Remington. I've used RCBS and Dillon and Lyman and Redding and some other misc. stuff since then, but the Lee dies, case trimmer, and priming systems a...

It also died in Indiana. The SCARY thing is that in this state, the 'gunnies' are so disorganized that nobody really knew about the law to go and oppose it. They rely on a handful of 'good old boys' who know the process and some key legislators, and that is FINE, but I'd like to see more backup from...

...Mine has a really BAD wood stock I may refinish, but would like to put something serviceable on it while I take a year to refinish the wood one (or in case I botch it). Try refinishing it. Several here have done theirs, and in most cases I recall the wood underneath is far better than some (incl...

P.S. - found the Bit & Brace today, trying to find some @&^%#@$ fencing staples.

I don't know if any of you all tap trees for syrup, but we do. In any case, the lesson of using the right tool is one we've all paid the price of forgetting: Rather than spend 15 minutes ransacking the barn for the old bit-and-brace to tap some maple trees, I decided to just grab the 100 foot extent...

Dillon (www.dillonprecision.com) sells videos of it, and they are really nice. I got one from them as a freebie years ago when I ordered my reloading press from them.

The swivel-chair with a pair of mini-guns is my favorite.

.357 Magnum pair: Rossi Octagonal with a B-Square no-gunsmithing mount and a Barska 3-9 Illuminated Reticle and a Taurus "62" Tang Sight, paired up with a Ruger Blackhawk. Apologies to both the anti-scope crowd, and the nothing-but-Leupold crowd, but I like to see in twilight, and if I had...

I have a 1980's vintage Marlin .32-20 that slugs .308 on the lands and .313 on the grooves. What size lead cast would work best for the gun? I see very few bullet molds that throw over .312, at least going by the catalogs. Next question - I've toyed with the idea of an Encore barrel in .32-20, but t...

Here's a simple solution for replacing any dovetail barrel sight with an aperture sight. I happen to prefer a scope on this gun, but the 'peep' is there as a backup, and I find it easy to use and fast except - like all aperture sights - in dim light I like the scope better.

It is unfortunate that so often the honors come after the individual's death, but then I don't suppose those kinds of people NEED the accolades; they are driven by an inner energy and divine guidance. Perhaps it is their grandchildren who have often only heard the stories but get caught up in what's...

Two things: 1. Consider a 'central vacuum' - I put one in for maybe $400, and all you have to 'carry' is a hose you plug into the wall. Our house is 28x40, so one outlet on each floor would really do it (hoses are usually 30 ft) but I put an extra one upstairs, and one by the back door so we could v...

I always thought it would be fun (if I were that good a shot) to enter one of the DCM matches where everyone shows up with their AR-15's, M-1A's, and the occasional 1903, with some sort of levergun which would be legitimately 'military' (not up on my history enough to know which choice(s) would fly)...

I've recently installed two Ramline stocks ... one on a Sears/Winchester and one on my Rossi .357. They are still hollow and need to be filled with some sort of insulation material.

One rack I made to replace gun safe shelves that worked well used a board on the wall and one on the bottom of a shelf, the two connected with 3/6" hardwood dowels at an angle to the forward. This yielded an easy way to store guns muzzle up or down, and get them out way more easily than the usu...

The key is PRACTICE. I've got friends who can use old crappy 3" barrel .22's they've shot 5,000 rounds through and hit soda cans at 50 yards 4 of 5 times, and friends who have finely tuned pistols with custom sights who can't keep 4 of 5 shots in a 12" circle at 25 feet. I agree with the d...

It seems the honorable LEO's of Hawaii have forgotten that they do NOT have the authority to tell citizens which guns they may own - but rather in the U.S. it is the other way around - those LEO's should be stripped of ALL their firearms, and required to beg the citizens for permission to have them ...
