Thanks Hobie, I think faking has gotten so good that it takes a scientific evaluation to tell. (composition of the brass). Yea, that knuckleduster is cool. The new Flaydermans has it at close to 2 g's. I sure would not want to trust my life on it though. Without a barrel, the velocities are probably...

OT-Original Civil War Belt Buckles
Dudes, My good friend Tom at Targetmaster got in a mess of Civil War period handguns along with some belt buckles. I know my Winchesters but Civil War stuff has been faked so much over the years, I am not confident of my evaluations. The guns he got in are no-brainers but does anyone here have knowl...

Easy way to tell is that if they look like modern junk, they are modern and if they look classy with a nice satin blue, they are old. For real, the new ones, especially the Marbles are great and are 100% functional but the color of the blue matches new guns where the originals will match the blue of...

How To Fix A $350 Camera
Thats right guys. I bought this baby when they cost a lot. Paid $350 for it and took close to 3K pictures with it. I also paid about the same for the Ruger #843 FT, but that was about 15 years ago. Well, the Ruger still works but the camera is, well, modern day junk---the way our culture is going. S...

Instead of inside neck reaming, I stuck the base of the cases in a chuck and while they were rotating, thinned the outside of the neck by lightly holding a fine flat file against the side of the neck as they were rotating, moving the file slowly up and down the neck at the same time. This worked fi...
