Some folks would call that a coincidence.
Sounds like divine intervention.
Forum: Lead and Lead Alloys
As I was looking for an old post, I came across this one. I believe it was my first post on the forum, anyway.
For those that are interested, the Indium/tin bars were /are used in making of (if I...

Much rather have a gas cook stove but this house isn't set up for it. That being said electric stoves have come a long way and are more efficient then they use to be. I still like gas stoves for...

I have one of those BSA's Sweet 22's on a Remington 597. For the money , IMO , it is a very good 22 scope that holds zero good and seems clear enough for my purposes.

Awesome news ! Congrats to all involved. Sometimes it takes someone different to take a look. We have run into that many times with our son's DR's. Not sure if they don't think they need help or are...

Moved 5 years ago after 27 at the same place.
Wow Did I have a lot of accumulated " might need that someday" stuff. Starting to filter through and culling out. Some things are like Wow! There it is...

I know this is an old post but I thought I would add my 1 cents worth.
About 2-3 years ago I contacted Hodgdon cust serv. and asked about the IMR 4227 and H 4227.
Their answer was that the older...

Get a set of handles first :).
sorry couldn't resist an attempt at humor
about 15 years ago a co-worker came to me and showed me a book he had purchased and it explained how to make a "military grade" AR-15 suppressor from very commonly acquired items and one machined...
Don, I am using PCed . I have just finished (within the last week or so) working up my load for the 147's and only have about 50 rounds through the Osprey, which does not come apart for cleaning so I...
I recently started casting and loading 147 grain 9mm subs to be used in a 16" carbine. The data in the manuals for sub 9mm are for pistol and when I started using that data ( projected velocity were...

I got one of these a few years ago and used it on quite a few gray squirrels. Popped one in the eye/ear area at 35 yds was my best shot. I found H&N Baracudas very effective & the most accurate,...

currently use a knock off hand pump from amazon (i think) for about the third the cost of one of the others. I am not a very big guy and filling the Gamo to max pressure takes a few minutes and is a...
Forum: AirGuns
I have a Gamo Urban and use a hand pump (ugh) but I'm not ready to spend $3-500 for a compressor.
Currently it has an air leak in one of the seals (not the one at the fill port, I've changed that)...

Sorry for your loss Pete, truly sad when we lose someone we love. Had to say goodbye (actually it was see you later Dad) to my Dad after he succumbed to a rather tragic accident in his woodshop. It's...
Not as much as I use to since moving to a much more populated area. Gun club is about 30 miles away but then you're limited on what kind of practice you can do.
I'm probably at around 2500 but I...

Definitely over thinking. I have one of those Lyman 1200's from about 12 to 15 years ago . I do leave it one place and I actually leave it turned on and ready to go.
Forum: Casting Equipment
It's a good idea to preheat the molds you're pouring your alloy into . I had an old cast iron muffin pan that had some rust in it and apparently still had moisture because it spitted and spattered a...
