    Tune the Rossi R92 at nearly zero cost, no cutting, grinding, sanding or other highly skilled butchery of factory controlled metal parts is required

    I bought my Interarms/pre-safety Rossi 92 nearly 20 years ago. Wasn't great at feeding, particularly 38 specials I took it all down (painful!) and polished everything. Tweaked the lifter's action. Along with minor mods on the loading gate. Added and a Marbles buckhorn rear sight...

  2. What is up with folks paying a gunsmith to clean their guns?!

    Cleaning a gun yourself vs. paying someone (competent) to clean your gun probably isn't a statistically relevant in terms of actual gun use. I wonder how many gang bangers in Chicago clean their guns? And yet they shoot each other with frightening regularity. I clean my own guns. I don't kid...

  3. What is up with folks paying a gunsmith to clean their guns?!

    How so? Time vs. money.

  4. What is up with folks paying a gunsmith to clean their guns?!

    I think that was an example of "fake news."

    @cmshoot, Is this excessive bolt cam pin wear and should I replace it?

    This is one of those perfect opportunities to use the last bit of nearly-dried JB Weld still left in the tubes. The ones sitting at the back of your workbench "no other place to put it" drawer since 2004.

  6. Who has finished a P80 frame?

    What's the status of Polymer80 relative to its legal sparring with ATF? Seems like P80 frames can't be found anywhere. Is that because they're selling like hotcakes, or have the feds gotten into Polymer80s beeswax?

    How big a pain in the ass is this red Loctite going to be?

    You have to cast it into the fires of Mount Doom to get it hot enough. P.S. Keep an eye out for Gollum.

  8. Walmart gun purchase

    Haven't bought a gun at Wally World in nearly two decades. I don't think they charge extra, but couldn't say for sure. But, even if it was $5, it's cheaper than gas and wasted time at the courthouse.

  9. Walmart gun purchase

    Why not just do the background check if the permit isn't showing correctly?

  10. CNC machines help

    A few years ago, I bought a 50 watt Chinese CO2 laser from one of the many eBay sellers who sell them. We use it for my wife's craft business, to cut parts out of wood and plywood, up to 1/2" thick. At the time, the equivalent American-branded and supported (but still Chinese made) machine was...

    Is there any hope for this shotgun stock?

    Classic!

    Salvaging a bubba'd Savage Enfield

    For the front sight: I'd try a propane torch, but only briefly, to see if the solder is tin or silver. If it didn't come off with a quick application of heat, I'd be tempted to cut the site off using a dremel wheel, being careful not to cut into the barrel profile. Then sand down the barrel...

    Chingachgook

    It never occurred to me to use a gun sock to protect the barrel and fore end while working around the receiver of a firearms...great idea. Thanks!

    Chingachgook

    Great work!

  15. Anyone else been burned by "Hogleg Smith"?

    I imagine Hogleg saw he his reputation taking a beating in here. Too bad it had to play out that way. Glad the OP is getting (mostly) made whole.

  16. Anyone else been burned by "Hogleg Smith"?

    It's up to the vendor, when the work comes in, to tell the customer honestly if they aren't experienced in the type of work and might not be the right resource for the job. In my opinion, that's a good ethical obligation for any professional to live by.

  17. Anyone else been burned by "Hogleg Smith"?

    Yikes. Sorry to read this.

  18. Anyone else been burned by "Hogleg Smith"?

    That seems nitpicky. OP had a pretty bad experience with a gunsmith. It's going to cost him a fair amount of money to get his carry gun fixed. Other posters are chipping in all kinds of unrelated comments and humor, and your focus is on attacking the OP because of minor phrasing, which you...

  19. Tula Ammo Destroying Glock Striker

    Even with "hard" primers, the metal that makes up the primer cup is VERY soft in comparison to the firing pin in the Glock. Should never have broke at 800 to 900 rounds, regardless of the ammo type.

  20. Tanfoglio Extractor Broke

    I've never been impressed with their customer service, but they do carry parts for some decent import brands. Hope they get you what you need.
