      S&W at the end of adjustment

      I bought a new S&W 686+ Pro (357 w/ 5” barrel). I’ve been shooting close to 2 decades and not new to proper technique etc. It was shooting near 6-8” to the left at 10-15 yards. I started to adjust the rear sight a few clicks at a time and never got it to hit center. I’ve used 38, 357, cast...

      Slow rust bluing. Steam method.

      I’ve been doing slow rust bluing for close to 10 years now on my own project guns and those of some family and friends. Back in Louisiana I used to take commissions from my uncle’s gun shop. I started with a borrowed bluing basin that someone had welded up and a home made pipe burner. It used...

      My recent projects. H&R Self Loaders

      Found these on gunbroker and had to get them. They look so goofy. One was cherry on the outside but ALL the springs were shot and rusty. The second was crummy on the outside but springs were excellent. I slow rust blued them a few times and found new springs from Jack First gun parts. After...

      Magazine tempering

      I had to braze an old magazine due to multiple splits forming around the top. After sanding the extra off it filled beautifully and fits the mag well. Haven’t been able to function test yet since ammo hasn’t arrived. The magazine is for an old 32 ACP. I can’t imagine it having much tension...

      CMP rebarrel work

      Anyone send one of their rifles for a rebarrel job? I have an M1 and a 1903 that could use new barrels. What were your experiences? I was thinking since they do so much work on these that they would be the most experienced.

      BRN-180 SBR

      I am still trying to figure out this state’s rules and regs on guns. So I bought one of those BRN-180 lowers from brownells. For those who don’t know, it is a AR-180 stylized AR lower without a buffer tube hole. It was not considered a regulated lower when I picked it up from LGS. So I...

      Legalities of Rust Bluing

      I am a fairly recent transplant from a much more gun friendly state. I got into rust bluing and used to take on projects for family, friends, and friends of friends. Probably have done 15-20 guns so far. It made me some side money while going through a divorce. Anyway, in that state you...

      .22LR Velocities for WWII Trainers

      I have a few WWII era training rifles (MAS 45, H&R 65, and Mossberg 146B) and they are real fun to shoot. Both the Mossberg and MAS can shoot point of aim to 100yds with high velocity bulk ammo. The H&R 65 seems to prefer standard velocity to even be able to aim at 50 & 100yds. I have the...
