    Trump won’t abolish the ATF

    He could, he won’t, and that’s how I know he doesn’t give a shit about the people. Seriously, tell me why he can’t give his inauguration speech and conclude with “the following unconstitutional federal agencies are hear by disbanded, atf, fbi, ect” it’s one of the very few “powers” potus...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Ruger Bisley conversions?

    Thinking about buying a new Ruger Super bh in 44. I want the Bisley grip to help with full power loads but mostly it looks cool. I can’t seem to find the barrel length/finish I want with a factory Bisley grip. Those that have done the conversion, where did you get the grip frame? How difficult...

    Gunsmithing Aluminum to steel bonding?

    I know the traditional method for attaching a sight base to a receiver or barrel would be drilling/tapping +/or silver solder. What if the piece to be attached is aluminum and the barrel is chromoly? I know some wizard like C.Dixon could tig or solder it just right, but I tig like a toddler...

    Gunsmithing Go-to for high end files?

    I’m at a point in life where it has become worth it to try and get the best possible tools money can buy, especially hand tools. A few years back I bought a big Pferd brand (German made) flat file with weird square teeth that don’t look like they’d do anything but grate cheese, but it cuts...

    Gunsmithing Updated 5/23/24 Wood upgrade for Lever guns?

    I ordered a Rossi m92 20” in .44 mag, it’ll be at my FFL in a week. $632.78 after tax didn’t seems like a bad deal. The reviews online seem pretty decent, fit and finish seem to be decent for most. I will defiantly be adding some sort of apature or ghost ring sight in the rear. I realize .44...

    Has anybody gotten jammed up by the 2 new questions on the ATF form? I haven’t bought a gun retail in several years. Today I go to a corporate sporting goods store and try to buy a new Marlin trapper. I get to question 21B and I asked the gun counter guy what the hell does this mean? He...

    Gunsmithing Custom H&R barrels?

    I have an H&R 980 ultra slug in 12ga. Is there anyone currently making custom barrels for these? Any builders who made a one off? I wouldn’t think the process of building barrels for these would be ultra difficult? It would be super handi if I could buy an aftermarket centerfire barrel for...

    .510 whisper, is it a bottleneck?

    What makes a case a “bottleneck”? Does an external shoulder make it? The whisper seems to have a powder column equal in diameter to the diameter of the bullet but uses a cut shoulder on the outside for head space. In my reckoning the .510 would be a “straight walled” case would it not?

    Heavy super 300 BO data?

    Does anyone have any data on running .300 black with 200+ Grain bullets supersonic? This is the only bottleneck cartridge I can get away with for deer in my dumbass state. Single loading in a pistol AR platform. How fast can it push a 220 elf 230 Berger 245 sierra, or a 250 atip?

    Gunsmithing Mauser bottom metal fit

    I’m working on putting this yugo 48 Mauser into a new “semi inlet” walnut stock I got on eBay. I’ve never done any stock work and my only reference was the factory mil stock. Working on getting the action and bottom metal fit into the inlet without any tension on the middle of the bottom...

    Source for Mauser magnum action?

    Id like to build a traditional style hunting rifle with a hand oiled walnut stock and deep rust bluing to go along with my tweed suit and gentlemanly demeanor. What are my options for a “Mauser” action with a magnum (.532) bolt face and un-modified 375 H&H internal mag length? Seems like the...

    Gunsmithing Double rifle making?

    Every time I see a double rifle used by some dentist to drop Cape buffalo I always go down a google image rabbit hole that’s ends in a frustrating “if you have to ask how much you can’t afford it” realization when it comes to price/availability. I understand that the grade of wood, engraving...
