Go to candlepowerforums dot com and check out their reviews. You will probably find a review of the light that includes not only beam shots but more information than you could possibly want!

It is ugly for sure, but I would like to put a few rounds through one just for the experience! Maybe somebody has one they would donate for use as a "pass around" for forum members? O.K. I'm not holding my breath.

That is correct, the 2011 Explorer is going to be released very soon and it is a complete redesign of the old Explorer. It will be lighter and have much more fuel efficient engines not to mention a different look. She might want to wait until the new design hits dealer showrooms. Ford's website...

The current thinking on 123 batteries is to avoid non-vented cheap Chinese made batteries because of the real danger of explosion and fire. Even the best brands of alkaline batteries sometimes leak and damage the flashlight, so they should be checked often for signs of leakage. You might spend...

I completely agree. The wear and tear - even the shortened barrel - come from your grandfather's use of the gun. Keep it as it is. Let me suggest that instead of having the gun reworked that you document your grandfather's life by interviewing your grandmother and let her talk about his life...

+1 Out of round case necks are common and I always size new cases. Ditto on trimming to length although I sometimes wait until after they have been fired once. I can't remember ever having to trim revolver cases because of stretching. It is something that helps keep everything uniform and...

I bought a new M25 about 1980 or so and it was absolutely the most inaccurate handgun I have ever owned. It was even worse than the Grendel P10, and that is saying quite a lot! I tried everything from GI match ammo to 185 grain target ammo and I loaded at least two dozen bullet/powder...

Well I'm gonna add a little note of disagreement to this discussion and it is NOT based on personal opinion, etc. According to Colt factory publications (e.g. Owner's Manual) their alloy frame revolvers made after 1972 should be checked after firing 1000 rounds of +P ammunition whereas their...

I'm not going to jump into the storm that will probably follow your questions, but I will comment on your observation: "I heard a good analogy a couple of weeks back at a gun show - if you owned a classic car would you just let it rust away or would you restore it? ...I'm thinking restoration."...

S&W has recently also announced that it is closing the Thompson Center plant in Rochester and moving it to Springfield. I'm pleasantly surprised none of the arms companies have moved production to India or Vietnam.....yet.

Owners of older Randalls, and especially those from the Vietnam War era, might be surprised at how valuable they have become. I ordered a Model 14 in 1963 and basically kept it unused until last year when I mentioned it to a collector. I had originally paid $40 for the knife, an astronomical sum...

Like Rodell I suspect an ammunition problem rather than a rifle problem, otherwise, none of your reloads would chamber in the gun. I assume your cases are trimmed to the correct length before loading and that there is no variation in the overall length of the loaded cartridge. Also, how many...

+1 An appearance problem doesn't always translate into something that affects functioning and accuracy.

Check out the photos on guntalk dash online dot com. Look under service and you will find a section and several subsections that have good photos of M41 maintenance. You can probably find what you are looking for there.

I love a happy ending and especially if it involves a "project gun." Good job in bringing that old warhorse back to life.
