I believe I'm going to convert Nadine to a side charging AR configuration. I've never cared for the rear charging handle it. While I'm at it, I'm thinking of doing something different with the gas tube. I've never understand why, in the trade off for direct impingement, the standard gas tube is so thin walled and subject to mechanical damage. I can't seem to find an off the shelve heavy tube, thinking of making just a long block that doesnt translate into a tube until it joins the receiver. thoughts?

That's fair, but I want to tune and perfect the original design as best I can. I'll consider it though.

With that in mind have you thought about just polishing and tuning the original trigger group? Fine tuning sear engagement would actually be wonderful practice for a future gunsmith.

Well it's certainly worth the money, I have a Timney in my "hog hunter" 91/59 and it's ideal. There is definitely some stock inletting work to installing it, but if you're bedding anyway it wont matter.

Boyds makes some excellent walnut Mosin stocks, FWIW

edit - browsing through Boyds new stuff, now they make a mosin stock thats already inlet for a Timney. woot.

So my "as-issued" Garand should be shipping next week. I'm pretty damn concerned about it, since its value derives entirely from it's condition, not it's make or provenance or any of the factors I usually shop for. Sent the seller an e-mail this morning to see about the additional cost of just having a crate knocked up to ensure it's safety.

MAKERS -

Ares is closing out their last generation 80% polymer lowers at $50 a unit, which last I checked includes jig and tooling for each unit. If you ever thought about a polymer milling project, this is the time to snap them up.

I own a No.4 Mk1 Lee Enfield, dated 1942.  I call it "Uncle Winston".
Today a friend forwarded to me this sad news...
http://www.thestar.com/news/insight/2014/10/18/lack_of_spare_parts_triggers_the_end_for_old_reliable_leeenfield_rifle.html

there are many rifles like mine: this aint it.  Placed here as a visual cue.

You ain't kidding. Real machinist, and old tool-and-die guys are in high demand. The old dudes I work with at the park ain't never at a loss for something to do, or a lot of money for doing it

The fine, and painful to learn art of bolt jeweling produces a finish that many gun owners find attractive. The micro grooves the process creates can also help the bolt retain and channel oil better.

Make me a 30 car gas nut wrench while you're fooling around and save me twenty bucks.

Did my first complete break down of the carbine I've had for years, thing was absolutely full of cosmo and fire hardened grease. Running about 1000% better now, but I'd like to decarb the gas piston anyway, just to make it complete.

Repurposed this 70's era portable super heavy table saw. Removed 75 pounds of guts, and it's a perfect mobile station for assembly / dis / cleaning, with onboard storage for punches hammers and Chem. The slots on the surface are a total bonus for pin driving.

Nice.

So adding to my long running shitty week. I have new magazines for my Jericho 941. There is however a problem. These mags don't lock the slide back on my Jericho. They feed well so far, but there's just enough difference... ugh that's what I get for buying pro mags.

Eight or nine years ago I grabbed a pretty nice Marlin 24 at an auction for fifty or sixty bucks. That summer, I shot some skeet with it, and during some fast shooting (It's an autotrigger like all the old slide actions) it locked up on me, probably got the recoil safety out of position. I got home, took it apart, and promptly forgot about it. For years.

Today I finally decided to get it squared away, and after a lot of cleaning and some stoning, I went to get into reassembly, and damned if I'm not missing the recoil lug and a couple of the super-weird old Marlin screws.

So now I'm at an impasse... buy the replacement parts for more than I paid for it, or put it mostly back together and just hang the bugger over the fireplace.

I once got into reloading hard.
went and bought all the gear ... searched hard and found some awesome deals for slightly used.
got all set up for reloading 20 GA and 9mm.
made like 20 rounds of 20, and 100 of 9mm.
and then was done.

it all sat for about 3 years before I sold it.

I know them blues.

I don't think I'll ever give it up. But it sure goes through phases. Long ones.

Is the double-barrel pistol from the Kingsman movie even mechanically possible?

My wife's Great Uncle has 6+ Dragoons.  couldn't tell you which model, etc.
All of them recovered from the Gettysburg battlefield by their family.
2 work.  the others are either rusty or judged unsafe.

Sure. Unlikely to have much effect, with less than an inch of barrel ahead of a loaded shell. Also pretty likely to damage both itself and the user. So wildly impractical yeah, but mechanically not an overwhelming challenge.
