  4. ISO: Advice on bluing techniques

    This is the most critical step. Removing metal is easy. Putting back on afterwards is much more complicated and costly. It's easy to get focused on getting a brilliant shine then realize you worn the markings nearly off. Post #19

  7. 9mm ar pistol question.

    Well that's great news and congrats. I never really thought of an AR-15 9mm until I shot one and my close friends shot one. With a red dot, rapid accurate first shot and follow up shots (double/triple taps) which sounds like you'll be enjoying soon enough now.
  8. 9mm ar pistol question.

    Well. Lets begin with specifics. What are the components. 1. What make of bolt do you have? 2. What is the length of buffer tube? 3. What type and weight is the buffer? 4. What is the length of your buffer spring? 5. What make of hammer do you have? 6. I think this is a hammer/ramped...

    Also if it's a dedicated 9mm AR hammer it will not work with a ramped bolt.

  14. Georgia Bulldog Needs Some Silver

    Closure often ends on a range day... A tic low but combat ready, aim a tic high. :becky: That 240 grain slug is a mouth full and this revolver is sledge hammer of a revolver. .38 SPL ain't got a thing on the brawler .44.
  15. Marlin 336 brought back to life (pic heavy)

    I love the checkering, that's art right there and the gun looks great.
  16. Georgia Bulldog Needs Some Silver

    He normally does real good work. That said when we were discussing the fix for this gun he may have suggested he may give it to someone who could silver solder. That may have been the weak link. I dunno. I won't give him this type of work again. I was shocked to say the least. The blade was so...
  17. Georgia Bulldog Needs Some Silver

    So closure or at least I hope so as I have not test fired this old girl yet. I finally farmed it out to a professional gun smith to have the sight silver soldered this summer and picked it up a a couple of months ago. Well, the original sight was gone. The sight was replaced with a rifle...
  18. "Grande Puissance"

    Old thread, and I'm sincerely sorry I did not respond and for any others considering hot blue finishes, the rust is part of the process. Bluing is actually a blacking of metal through a controlled rusting process. The rust simply wipes off leaving the beautiful "blue" or better "black" oxide...

    Once learned, hopefully not forgotten. The force is strong within the ODT.
  20. Mossberg 500 barrel question

    No big deal just money. Mossberg quit making their 18.5" deer slug barrel with buckhorn irons. You might pick up a used one on e-bay or gungroker for less than cost of sights and installation.
