took the Winchester Trapper in .45LC and 100 rds of Underwood Ammo 250-gr +P ammo, which the Trapper likes better than any other ammunition it has found. Moved a couple of bowling pins all over the range. then tried out a new one for me: a 1971 Glenfield Model 60, .22LR semi-auto. A friend's rifle, ...

Mine is a Trapper model, purchased new in 2003. I've had it all apart and smoothed up the action/trigger pull/etc, it is nice and smooth now, great trigger feel/pull. It very much prefers 250-gr +P ammo, which I've found to be very accurate.

on those long-ago days at employ when it wasn't so busy, a few of us would keep our brain active by designing targets ..... here's a couple: http://i1254.photobucket.com/albums/hh614/carlmyphotobucket/targets/target_atomnucleus.jpg http://i1254.photobucket.com/albums/hh614/carlmyphotobucket/targets/...

NICE SIG !! great looking pistol.

I've always been a 1911 fan because: 1) it can be easily disassembled down to the smallest component and then everything smoothed-up and worked-over; 2) reassembly is as easy as disassembly.

A pal of mine was having problems with his Remington 788 (.22-250), so today's Labor intensive project was to fix it. It has been in storage for who knows how long. All the oil had turned into glue. The hammer was stuck down, the firing pin would not cock. Lots of Hoppe's elbow grease. Disassembled ...

UPDATE finally got around to downloading from my camera a picture of one of the targets at 100 yards (ignore the small .22 holes). I really like a .45 hole, so easy to see (compared to those .22 holes). And the holes are a bit spread out because I was shooting too fast. When I slowed down, the grou...

if you really want to redneck it: schmoosh lots of 2-tube epoxy into the crack. Then a turn of baling wire around the perimeter of the handle, with a twist or three to squeeze it up tight and prevent further opening of the crack. And if you want to really pretty it up, there are 2 ways: 1) wipe off ...

Recently I had a chance to try out an HK USP .40 (full size) and I now have it on my "gotta have" list. I used around 750 total rounds of cheap reloads and factory ammo, not a single FTE or FTF. A very fine pistol in my opinion. http://www.hk-usa.com/civilian_products/usp_general.asp Cheer...

Griff, I just measured/estimated the center-of-bore to top-of-sight distance: 0.885", give or take .... a healthy 0.135" difference. And the barrel length (from back of chamber to muzzle) is 20". The true problem here is of course that iron sights and my eyes are not at all compatible...

15 August 2013 ..... UPDATE Well, I finally got to the range a month late to shoot-check the new and much taller front sight. I put the target at 50 yards. It required a couple of shots to figure out the rifle was shooting 10" too low. So I got out the file and made the front sight less tall b...

I don't have any of those pastes or polishes.

Would 2,000 grit wet/dry sandpaper be a reasonable alternative, or would it be considered too abrasive ??
