    rewa liked post by gundoc On thread : My new toy - Because a man cannot have to many
    Call me old-fashioned, but I much prefer milled to moulded. I just can't bring myself to buying a gun with a plastic frame. The new manufacturing techniques are only producing guns that are almost as...

    19Badger liked post by gundoc On thread : 22 Hornet - Over Length Fired Once Cases?
    Case length is always going to be an ongoing problem with the .22 Hornet because the long taper on the case lends itself to stretching. The .22 K Hornet was developed to overcome the stretch problem...

    Back in the early '70's I started making centrefire suppressors commercially (probably the first) and the first few were over-barrel jobs on shortened .45/70 H&R Toppers. The barrels were shortened...

    Dama dama liked post by gundoc On thread : Press mounting options
