Have you considered going electric? I mean it is a little redneck but people have had success using hairdryers, shopvacs, and the like. What are you using for fuel? Straight anthracite?

I inherited a ton of equipment and I have no idea where to begin. I am pretty sure I even have multiples of stuff and even dies/brass for guns I don't even own. If you guys can recommend a good link on where to begin reloading I would appreciate it. So far I've located an RCBS rockchucker, a shotgun turret looking press, a Lyman 450 bullet sizer/luber, and a home made capper of some sort. I know I'm on my own for the last bit, but it is still a highly impressive piece of machinery. Also, I plan on doing a LOT of reading before I load stuff.

I'm quite jealous. Your forge looks interesting for sure. I guess that hand crank looking thing is an air pump? Blacksmithing is something I messed around in highschool metal shop and unfortunately didn't continue. We had a small propane or maybe natgas forge that I would block the vents on to try to get it hotter. I would up making a bunch of stuff, screwdriver shafts, punches, and my favorite was a really nice crowbar made from 1" hex stock. The bend on it I cheated on though since I used a bender, an oxy/actelyene torch, and the Canadian girl in class to help me bend it. I loved using the torch because I was able to get it BRIGHT orange quickly. The forge only got it to a low-medium orange. Try making nails from 1" flatstock if you have a good anvil. Doesn't take long and it is pretty fun.

Sarco is a little hike for me, and I know if I go I'll end up buying too much random stuff. Plus their in store prices are higher

Blake's family runs it. Nice store and I usually buy stuff when I'm in seaside but it is something like a 3 hour drive for me.

Mounting one on my M16A1 kit. I try to have a bayonet for every rifle I own. Pennsylvania byw

On my carb? No. My barrel I did. Worked fantastic on the exterior

I'm looking for a USGI surplus M7 with a generic M8A1 scabbard. Any suggestions? Sarco has them for $30 plus tax and shipping. Wouldn't mind eBay but they're scalpers

How do you stonewash?

I actually used that as a carb dip when I rebuilt the carb on my Mustang. I was disappointed to be honest. It was also separating

If they were in a sealed container I would probably cut the bad gas with fresh gas and run your car or small engine on it. Unless there are solids in there.

A Henry rifle is produced using some fairly modern manufacturing techniques. I suspect it is heavily investment cast but it certainly functions fine. The Marlin vs. Henry debate is much like pre/post 64 Winchesters. Old Winchesters and Marlins were produced when hand fitting was valued. Henry, or anyone else, simply cannot make a rifle with large amounts of hand fitting, everything milled and forged, and a deep rich blue for the price point. That doesn't make the Henry a crap rifle, I love mine and it is simply fantastic. Finish wise, I have a Golden Boy. The octo-barrel has a very high quality blue to it and the receiver is plated somehow. It is probably some powder-metallurgy job but that certainly isn't a bad thing. The Furniture is absolutely beautiful. They're also so local that one of their employees posts here and you can call/email the Owner yourself. Also, you could probably wedge the barrel between two rocks and jump on the buttstock and Henry would probably still fix it for you.

First off, congrats. Moreover, I would be tempted to just give it to him as-is. I understand entirely why you want to have it customized, but I know I like my Dads guns as they are now. Modding them just makes them different. There are zillions of 1911s just like my dads, but only his is exactly like his. If he were to have it reblued with $20,000 of engraving and custom work it just wouldn't be the same. I say keep the rifle as-is and spend the money on something nice for him if you want to.

i bought a $50 870 barrel that looked like crap. Some cleaning, electrolysis, and cold blue later and the thing actually looks really nice. Unfortunately I still have rust in the barrel. After all this I used WD40 on a bore brush that was chocked in up a drill and that still left some in the barrel, and I believe it may be pitted. After the WD40 I cleaned it out with brake cleaner then oiled with CLP to protect it. What should be my next course of action? Hypothetically, since a shotgun is a smoothbore anyway I don't see how it is detrimental for accuracy. It was a 26" ventrib that is now a little over 18".

Fingerprint safes are excellent for your situation

Thank you guys. Can't believe I missed that. The little bits of M855 will get fed to the Mini.

38+P. 115gr HP. I want to get some 158gr LHCSWCHP +P Buffalo Bore. First choice is a carbine though. Mipafox, why tracer? Assuming this is GI type of stuff, I would imagine M193 or any decent HP would be preferable. Or, knowing you, you're being completely sarcastic and I'm just being dumb. Also, don't hit that tank. I hear cleaning up that stuff is complicated

My dad has an older Mini-14 that was produced sometime in the late seventies to mind eighties. I'm trying to figure out what the barrel twist rate is, and I am coming up with vague answers. I do not know if it is marked as a Ranch Rifle, but I do know it was sold in NJ with a folding stock and flash hider. I am hoping it is a 1/10. My AR has a 16A1 barrel on it, so I can't shoot M855. I don't like M855, but I would like to be able to shoot it if I find it somewhere cheap.

Many manufacturers are in multiple countries. Glock and Sig both have small production here

Push out the back pin with the bolt forward. Personally, if I'm limited to seven rounds and a magazine that may not be detachable, I sure don't want a 5.56 AR. I would prefer an 870 or SKS. Seven rounds of 7.62 trumps seven rounds of 5.56 and loading is a lot quicker.

Yes.

I originally found this link on gunssavelives.net. Apparently someone in Garwood was spotted flying an ISIS flag from their home, next to an (I believe) Turkish flag. While we all support the First Amendment this is rather...interesting. If they had any ties to terrorism I suspect they would be in Gitmo by now. http://controversialtimes.com/news/isis-flag-spotted-proudly-flying-on-us-soil-guess-where/ Edit: Shame on me for not googling before posting. I know better. It turns out that this is apparently some misunderstanding http://abcnews.go.com/US/jersey-man-aback-isis-flag-flap-expressing-religion/story?id=24971471

I tend to go through Netflix or other online website bingeing and I'm not sure what I should look into next. I just finished House of Cards, before that was Homeland and Revolution. I've also watched The Americans, Breaking Bad, The Walking dead religiously and seen all of The Pacific, Band of Brothers, and Generation Kill. Suggestions? Anything post-apocalyptic like Jericho is a bonus too.

S&W Model 10 or 64 with conversion cylinder.

Will is rather annoying, whiney, and has an ego problem. Chris (or whoever Stephanies new husband is) is just plain stupid, and Stephanie is just weird.
