    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...

    308 liked post by gundoc On thread : Removing front sight from margolin .22
    The Margolin front sights were a shrink fit. To remove then you need to disassemble the elevating system, hold the barrel in padded jaws, quickly heat the sight ring with a torch then tap off with a...

    paremata liked post by gundoc On thread : Suppressing a 45/70
    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
    The only truly successful system is the press bolted firmly to a solid bench. I have mine at the right-hand end, reasonably out of the way and it makes a useful coat and hat rack as well.
