Thanks for all the advice! I think I will try the hairdryer heating method, followed by the brass punch, followed by the impact driver (depending on what works / doesn't work.) After that, well, I am hoping patience and oil help, otherwise things are going to get interesting. Unfortunately, someone ...

My apologies for this post being unrelated to leverguns, but I am in a bit of a bind. For some time now I have been the owner of an adjustable gas nut for my Garand (which has the older 'slot-style' nut.) The trouble is, I have been unable to install it because the existing gas plug has been screwed...

Recently I tried some 150 gr. Federal soft points instead of my more usual Winchester 170 gr. SP. I have not measured my...

I have long come here seeking the collective insight of the leverguns community and have happily been a reader rather than a participant, but now I have a bit of a problem and I wonder what the best way to proceed is. I have a pre-64 Winchester 94 in .30-30 wh...
