Re: Over sized/tactical bolt knob?
For hunting, I have my doubts about the tactical bolt knobs. - They will slow you down if a follow-up shot is required. The oversize bolt knob is OK though if you are just target shooting off of a bench. It is slower to use than a regular bolt knob, but that is not an issue for target shooting. The ...

Re: New Gun Lubricant
I thought it would be a good conversation-starter, around the shop.

Sticky Rubberized Stuff Fix
Rubberized, or rubber-coated stuff tends to get sticky with time. I have a Russian night-vision scope that I have not fooled with for a few years. When I took it out of the safe and pulled it out of its case, the rubberized coating was really sticky, so much so that I did not enjoy touching it, and ...

Re: Boyds Rifle Stock
I never heat them up much... Generally I will fire a five-shot string, with the shots a minute or so apart - then I take my time about looking at the group with the spotting scope so that it generally gets at least five minutes to cool between shot strings. I will definitely check though, as the cle...

Re: My New Shop
Your shop looks really nice, now I am re-thinking the lighting setup in mine as I have been using florescent tubes.

Re: Howa 1500
The Howa has a Boyd's stock now, in the "Coyote" color pattern. This is what it looks like these days: http://i239.photobucket.com/albums/ff206/arwatch/Firearms/Howa%201500/th_IMG_4299_zpsi443p5wk.jpg http://i239.photobucket.com/albums/ff206/arwatch/Firearms/Howa%201500/th_IMG_4297_zpstnenfy7n.jpg h...

Re: Moved my reloading bench
It is pretty tight in my shop, getting the reloading bench out of there should give me enough room for my milling machine - but not for my lathe, or any of the welding equipment.
I'll have to modify my garage, or put up a metal building for that.

Moved my reloading bench
Today I officially moved my reloading bench out of my shop, and into the house. I was needing more floor space in the shop, and decided to move the bench a few weeks ago. At my age, I have my good days and my bad days... Today must have been a good one as I got started on the project early this morn...

Re: S&W Cylinder Release
I made an interesting find. - There was a spring there in the bolt, behind the plunger, but the spring appeared to be collapsed and also way too short. When I examined the spring with a magnifier, I discovered that it was two spring sections that had wound into each other. Apparently it broke many y...

Re: S&W Cylinder Release
There's a little spring and plunger on the back of the bolt... I think that's where the problem lies. I guess I'll take it apart tonight and see about the spring, if its there.

S&W Cylinder Release
I have a S&W model 15 here, similar to a model 10 but with adjustable sights. The thumbpiece, or cylinder release appears to function normally, but I have noticed that when the cylinder is open, the thumbpiece moves freely back and forth, apparently with no spring tension. Only when the cylinder is ...

Re: CT Laser Practice
I've always thought that an old S&W model 10 with CT grips would make a good night-stand gun.
