    Do the Casey Birchwood Cold Bluing kits stink? Or am I just dumb?

    Looks great! I'll have to try that. Back in the early 70s, I used Herters Belgian Blue on a 94 Swedish Mauser. It was really a rust blue process and it did a fantastic job, although it required a number of iterations of boiling, applying, boiling, carding. When I sold it 35 years later, it...

    Do the Casey Birchwood Cold Bluing kits stink? Or am I just dumb?

    Depending on the steel's metallurgy, I've had rifles I had to pickle first with a dilute HCl solution. Eventually, Brownell's Oxphoblue did the job. Sent from my SM-G781U1 using Tapatalk

  3. Over gassed rifles and buffer weights question

    @madmarinehayes is giving you good advice, unless you can find a friend to let you borrow some different buffers. I'm shooting a 6.5 Grendel that I was convinced was overgassed until last weekend (threw brass at 1:00 o'clock and BCG occasionally overran the next round in mag). On a hunch...

    What is the correct process on applying rocksett for muzzle device installation?

    Are you using a crush washer? If so, I've never had to use any rockset or Locktite as long as the flash hider or muzzlebrake is torqued properly. Sent from my SM-G781U1 using Tapatalk

  5. Barrel swap on an AR. Head space issues ?

    Pencil bbl? That's the way I want to go on one of my M4s. Sent from my SM-G781U1 using Tapatalk

  6. Anyone work on air rifles?

    Oh, if the bbl breech o-ring doesn't look worn or shaved, its probably ok. They can be a bear to replace/seat. Sent from my SM-G781U1 using Tapatalk

  7. Anyone work on air rifles?

    You might want to go that clamp route. Pulled out my old compressor and somewhere over the last 20 years, I misplaced the receiver cradle & clamp (it was mounted to the plywood). The advantage with this setup was that the clamp length allowed disassembly with the bbl in place or removed, plus...

  8. Anyone work on air rifles?

    Until I get home & take pics, this could work if you're careful. These type bar clamps weren't readily available when I started working on airguns. Sent from my SM-G781U1 using Tapatalk

  9. Anyone work on air rifles?

    Its ugly! But when I get back to the house I'll take a pic. Sent from my SM-G781U1 using Tapatalk

  10. Anyone work on air rifles?

    @GeauxLSU I have an old pipe clamp I used to use for spring compression if you want to borrow it. Its cobbled together with some plywood, u-bolts, & duct tape to hold the receiver, but you can modify it to fit if you want to try. I know nothing about how the Norica receivers come apart, but...

  11. Anyone work on air rifles?

    I used to tear down English & German Beeman spring guns all the time, but have never disassembled that particular Marksman. There are a few airgunsmiths that will rebuild them, but unsure if that particular one might be worth it. Sent from my SM-G781U1 using Tapatalk

    What can be done about this rust?

    If someone wanted a shiny "BBQ Gun", I guess they would have finished it off with pearl grips. You can look up manufacturing dates here: https://ruger.com/dataProcess/serialHistory/ Sent from my SM-G781U1 using Tapatalk

    What can be done about this rust?

    Ruger had stag grips available, but I've never heard of pearl. Sent from my SM-G781U1 using Tapatalk

    What can be done about this rust?

    Ruger never made a stainless 3-screw. Also none that were nickel plated that I'm aware of. Like Fat Albert suggested, stripping and replating are the best options, assuming you want it nickeled. I would strip it and have it reblued. Sent from my SM-G781U1 using Tapatalk

  15. Trigger scale recs.

    The Lyman is worth the money. Sent from my moto z4 using Tapatalk

  16. AR in 22

    I have a McFadden loader for my Buckmark & Ruger Mk II. Fantastic accessory! Sent from my moto z4 using Tapatalk

  17. NEW 590a1 Surface Rust Issues? Need help :D

    To add to what @GeauxLSU said, I'd also use Breakfree CLP instead of Ballistol. Ballistol is fine for rust prevention/cleaning, but I've had better results in removing corrosion with CLP. Sent from my moto z4 using Tapatalk

    AR barrel installation question

    Didn't have any AeroShell when I built mine, so I used a generic moly disulfide grease I had in my toolbox. Sent from my XT1635-01 using Tapatalk

  19. Ruger .45 Blackhawk undersized cylinder throats

    Use who you want, but there's no one in Georgia at present who would touch my gun for this type of work. It's too bad Jim Stroh of Alpha Precision retired in 2015. He was the best! Sent from my XT1635-01 using Tapatalk

  20. Ruger .45 Blackhawk undersized cylinder throats

    I just realized that the recommended cylinder reaming guy on Castboolits who goes by "DougGuy" is the same person in NC who runs the shop you referenced called Cylinderhone. Sounds like he'll be back in town on 7/22, so you might just wait on him if Fermin can't get it done. DougGuy has a...
