I've got this 870 barrel that's patterning left of the POA. I need to have the barrel bent by a gunsmith. I've tried it myself and it is not easy. The barrel has so much memory that is springs back into place no matter how much I bend it. I've tried several times with practically no change...
I'm looking to put some plating & bluing on a 1911 frame and slide. I put competition parts on and its at the point where I'm not going to shape the gun anymore.
I'm thinking a nickel or matte chrome plating on the frame and mirror bluing on the slide. I like that 2-tone stuff. :)

I tried out shooting clays for the first time yesterday and I had a blast! Came home and started figuring out shell reloading costs. The deal breaker was the cost of shot. Walmart beats the price I got by a couple bucks! Other forums say buying bulk locally will bring the price of a box of...

Do I need to get another die set? Anyone have...
I just got a bullet lodged in my barrel from a cartridge without powder in it:blush:
What is the standard method of getting the bullet out of the barrel? Use a centerpunch and whack it out?
Hi all!
I'm just coming back to shooting from a 10 year hiatus. Used to shoot PPC and USPSA matches, but was lured away to pursue other hobbies. Thanks to tdt91 I'm back in the game. I think I'll pursue long guns this time around.
Seeyaround!
I'm just getting back into reloading after a 10 yr hiatus.
I have the Speer #11 and the Lyman 47th reloading manuals. Now I know that some powders in these manuals are no longer made, but for the ones that are still available, is this data still valid? Someone told me that it was important...
