Not quite the same, but Dad had a Winchester 1873 in .32-20 that has been in the family since it was bought new at the Phelps-Dodge mine commissary in Douglas, Arizona in 1903 (before statehood). As a young girl, grandma used it to defend the homestead and shoot at stragglers from Pancho Villa's...

I have a Sten that just hates anything but true hard jacketed round nose projectiles. I've even had it jam when using copper plated pills like Berry's or Xtreme, they are still soft enough that they can catch their nose on the sharp edge where the barrel shank and trunnion mate up. So I too...

If I keep my eyes open for it, I will eventually see someone offering nickel 9mm for the same price as brass. I rarely buy my brass, as I have been a brass scrounging sumbich since I was 15. But when I occasionally decide to sit down and load several thousand of something at a time, I'll check...

For the factory ammo, PPU is the cheapest ROUND NOSE 158 grn. load at $0.44 via SG Ammo. But if you load your own, the 160 grain RN from Blue Bullets is just $0.10 per pill. I load these over 3.1 grains of CFE, and it produces 830fps out of the Glock 19 and 900fps out of the Uzi. The hottest...

Kind of unrelated, but sort of is,...I was watching a YouTube video a few days ago on a channel called the Socialite Crime Club,...and my eye was immediately drawn to their logo, which for a moment I thought they had ripped off from COBRAY. But upon closer inspection, it seemed it was...

I would think is has more to do with the composition of the projectiles you are feeding it. Both copper and brass are soft compared to steel, but brass is a bit harder. So if you use Montana Gold projectiles or a lot of S&B ammo, those brass jackets will produce a negligible amount of wear more...

Yes,...it was.

Safari Arms did something like this back in the 80's for the 1911. They called it the "Survivor" carbine kit. It was an unregulated upper that bolted on in place of the slide and barrel assembly. It was a manual straight-pull that fed from the magazine. The T-handle bolt would be pushed through...

There's plenty of loaded RN subsonic stuff out there. PMC and AAC (PSA) both make RN 147 ammo. Back when Action Arms imported Israeli 158grn. FMJ ammo, it was RN. Famously, it had a black-painted tip to be able to visually differentiate it from standard ball ammo. And I think this is a clue. I...

Yes,...this is essentially what I was trying to communicate, but Dink did so much better.

In my opinion (which could easily be wrong), as long as the extractor spring is sufficiently strong to keep the spent case firmly in place on the bolt face as the bolt races rearward, the existing ejector should work just as well as originally. If, however, the case is sort of wobbly unsecure as...

Back when these were being imported as kits, all the parts were matching and this was before Obama demanded the barrels be cut up as "not sporting use", so the barrels were original as well. I got my kit for just $100 from J&G Sales in Prescott, Az. in 2003. So you know the kits cost Century a...

So I knew I couldn't possibly be the first guy to think of using single-feed Glock mags in STENs, and that SOMEBODY must have played around with the idea already. So I did a little bit of Google sleuthing on the interwebs and came up with a CAD file some dude worked up back in 2019 for a 3D...

I made a very simple covert carry case for the truck gun so that I could take the Chinese AKM back and forth to the vehicle without anyone realizing a gun was being transported. The original handle was made of the same plastic as the Contico tool box, so if you look closely, you can see it...

I signed up for the same, but mine arrives tomorrow or Friday. I'm expecting it to be similarly excellent.

Not with my Uzi, but I have a Ppsh41 currently fit with a 9mm conversion barrel that has a bad ejector that has occasionally done exactly the same thing. For the life of me, I can't figure out what little open space the case manages to find to get back there, but it does. In slow motion footage...

Rumor has it that the Dutch, Lithuanians and Belgium each took all their mothballed Uzis and donated them to Ukraine, where they have primarily ended up with vehicle crews, ambulance drivers and rear echelon security types. But this guy appears to be somewhere near the front.

OK,...you have my attention. If I supply barrel and nut, what can I expect to pay?
