ive tried it on small parts and i think it works pretty well. gives a much darker blue in my opinion that any other ive tried. still, its a cold blue and like the rest of the cold blues it will rub off fairly quickly. i recently tried rust blueing and im really impressed with the results. you might ...

I traded a brick of primers for some very hard to find ammo earlier this year, and I got a lot more in ammo than what I paid for the primers, but the guy who got em was more than happy with the trade. Was nice to trade off 1000 primers and still have plenty. I bought a bunch in 2008 and it was a sm...

Powder Valley had the wolf primers just a few days ago for $25 a carton. I bought some large pistol a few weeks ago and they seem to work okay.

It is called a sight pusher. Expensive but will last a lifetime and prevent the sight ramp screws from being knocked loose or broken off. With an extra set of hands and a block of hardwood to support the ramp as you drift the sight out you can (as I have many times) change out that sight without an...

No . No screws need to be removed.

Support the ramp well or there are screws that will need to be replaced. I have a sight pusher for that job and will never attempt it again with out it. Makes a scary job into a nothing to it job.

thanks chuck, what tool do you use?

a friend just bought a guide gun and she wants to replace the factory sights with firesights. does the front sight drift out from left to right like the rear sight? also any screws that need to be removed?

Scenario: For whatever reason, say you are in the woods in a Condor zone. And you failed to remove your lead target .30-30 reloads from your pickup truck. You are not carrying your .30-30. You are carrying another caliber (e.g. .270 Winchester) rifle with matching "legal" all copper bulle...

I'd really like to see if the 250's offer any real trajectory advantage over the 300's. I agree, the 300's are overkill for our deer, but most likely, not the case on pigs. But then again, who knows. I also wonder, to what velocities, the 250 can be pushed? I would guess that the 250's will scream ...

thanks everyone but i found it. North fork Bullets. Expensive but looks like a very good alternative to the barnes tsx 300 grn bullet. The north fork is 350 grains. $96 per box of 50 yeah about double the barnes cost but ill try it.

I have found the larger weight Barnes TSXs to be too long. I just ordered some 250s, which should be quite sufficient for CA bucks. Heavier .45 cal bullets are overkill for 150 lb deer. I have killed all of mine with the 300 Barnes Original before the ban went into effect last year. Check out the d...

Seems like i read it here a few weeks ago that someone other than barnes has developed an all copper 350 grain bullet for us poor souls here in kalipornia. Anyone remember this?

Gary, I'm in Mendocino County. Sonoma County will not give you a permit either.

also keep in mine that the fed meaning federal reserve doesnt like rising gold and silver prices as it is counter productive to the U.S. buck and will actually short these commodities to keep them in check.

BTW, I was listening to Dave Ramsay a while back and he was really knocking gold as an investment.

I had the same problem with barnes bullets. i loaded the sierra and speer 300 grain bullets with the same charges as the barnes 300 grn tsx and could barely get it on the paper at 75 yards.

In between showers I got in some shooting with the Marlin 356 Win, Marlin 218 Bee and the new-to-me 357 Blackhawk.

Johnsons Paste wax ( for furniture) is good. Car wax is about the same. Will also prevent rust on a gun out in the weather better than most oils. :D I use Birchwood Casey Gun Stock wax.

I wonder how hard it would be to change it over to a shotgun style but plate? Probably not too difficult. The buttstock from the 1886 Winchester/Miroku EL would work without any serious work. If I do buy a rifle, that is exactly what will happen to it. The crescent stock will be tossed in the burn ...

Now that two of the Pinnacles flock of Condors have been found wounded with shotgun pellets, I fear that no-lead shot will also be required for bird hunting. What is the improvement if the condors are shot with non-lead as opposed to lead? The lead ban was to keep them from eating it, not being sho...

I swore myself off of Barnes bullets 5 or 6 times over the years. Each time I went back to try them again, and was disappointed every time. The X-bullets were not very accurate in any of my rifles. And now their newer bullets are extremely overpriced. I have noticed that some people are getting som...
