Someone asked about aftermarket barrels for the M-41. Here are my “Bully Barrels” (Ray-Vin) with a S&W 5.5” for contrast. The mounted barrel is not shown with the standard comp, this is the VAIS which I normally use. The mounted barrel has a base for the Docter sight milled into it and is as low...

Knowledgeable Tampa folk, I need some help! It is not easy to find reloading supplies locally, sometimes even the most basic of powders and primers are unavailable. So I usually accumulate requirements and order from Powder Valley. I have a project which is going to require two pounds of...

At 10:30 this morning I glanced out the bathroom window, there looking in was a large, very healthy Bobcat, distance about 15 feet. My largest Siamese is almost 18# and very fit, the Bobcat looked to be closer to 30# on a height length comparison. Its coloring was very tan with some dark tips...

I have picked up an interesting set of K frame target grips. This is a very distinctive set; my wife says they look like a sculpture. They are very well made actually art work. IMO outstanding checkering work. I am not sure of the principal wood, the secondary I thought was maple but up close I...

I have a M25-2, 6-1/2”, N24XXX, .45 acp, nice trigger and while it shoots reasonably well, it certainly is not as accurate as either my 14 or 24. I strongly suspect the throats are the problem. My plug gauges show the throats are over .455” and less than .456”. I usually shoot lead and I can buy...

Many years ago I was given several “Spam” cans of .30 Ball M2 192 cartridges (per can) 8rd clips, Bandoleers; Lot SL 9913. I was told that this lot was selected for Match and Rifle Team use. It does seem to be accurate stuff. This is a non-corrosive primer lot from the Korean War Era. I have...

Does anyone make a high quality cast iron “C” frame press? I have been using a Lee Reloader for some tasks, it is the right size and a fine value for the money, but is cast aluminum and I am concerned that some tasks such as swaging primer pockets are a bit too much for it. Looking on flea bay I...

After posting on a previous thread that straight wall cases shrink, not grow, as they are used, which I think is wisdom we have all received from “authoritative” “experts”. I decided to do a bit of measuring in my brass pile. Conclusions; It is evident that these .45 acp cases have not “grown”...

August 2, 1950 Things are looking grim. Task Force Smith is no more. The 24th Division has only been in Korea a month and has now lost all semblance of an organized fighting force. Casualties have been very heavy. General Dean (commanding 24 Div) has been missing since about July 20 and was...

We have been discussing Heller-McDonald and to a degree Skoien and the impact these opinions may have on support for our 2nd amendment rights. In regard to the Kagen confirmation hearings, the Dems contend that she is in the mainstream of legal thought. What is the Mainstream of Legal Thought...

What's it going to be? The time is upon us, Monday most likely. I will go first: SOTUS will find for McDonald, vote 5 to 4 (6-3 possible but IMO very unlikely). There may be more than two concurring decisions as in Skilling vs US 08-1394, this will muddy the waters further. The right to...

The official date of the start of the North Korean Invasion of South Korea is usually given as June 21, 1950. Actually the North Korean Peoples Army (KPA) had been massing for most of June. They were crossing in force by the 21 and the invasion was in full force by the 24. The US Army Occupation...

SCOTUS is expected to find in favor of McDonald in the next major shoe to fall from the Heller decision. Mayor Daley just had a sort of comic but sad news conference which may be found by searching: chicago tribune + clout street + daley+ city ready to act The conference is becoming famous for...

How far are you willing to go under computer control? What’s does the term X-by-wire mean to me? As I type this I am only sending a signal to the computer which decides my intention. Consider the manual typewriter, if I hit the “G” key a letter g will appear on the paper by mechanical link...

WARNING-Sarcasm Ahead After several months of controversy at the UN over the obviously flawed IPCC report which included various outright fabrications. I am sorry to have to report that the UN is losing one of their most qualified Climate Scientists. U.N. climate chief Yvo de Boer will step...

I have wanted a Threepersons Floral Holster for my 1911s for a long time, so when Ray at Lobo Gun Leather, started his current line, I ordered one. In addition to the looks, there is a distinct advantage to this holster in that the carving makes it impossible to closely fit the holster to a...

Found thanks, I want about 100; 148 gr HBWC .358” bullets, I am looking for the hollow base ones with the slight cup shaped nose. I think these are all swaged bullets, and fairly soft. The only ones I see which are near what I want are Speer which are only available 500 to a box. I don’t want to...

Disclaimer: I am not an expert and have never played one on TV, or in congress. I love mechanical things, even electro-mechanical things. Relay ladder logic is not a closed book to me. In days of yore when you pushed down on the accelerator pedal a mechanical linkage transmitted the motion to...
