I had a customer bring in a Kimber Solo that just started to fail to extract. I called Kimber requesting a replacement extractor spring. Guess what, Kimber no longer supports these POS. They will accept a trade based on MSRP of a current model if they have one in stock. The value of your POS...

I noticed after the bridge structure was removed with explosives the ship still has a "bow down" attitude. Does the remaining black top and underlying debris weigh more than the removed bridge structure? A bunch of the containers were removed too.

There is no such thing as an innocent insurance company. The State Insurance Commissioners are all on their payrolls. Insurance companies pay professionals to Welch on their obligations.

Ask your self, what is the “shop rate” at an auto repair shop. I am retired, I charge $40 per hour I have no overhead expenses except electricity for my shop. A thorough cleaning without full disassembly on most firearms takes about an hour. If the barrel is leaded up, may take longer, if the...

Welcome from WNC!

Having been in the gunsmith business 15 years, I don't regularly use any locktite but I sure have removed a lot of it. People use an ocean of it when mounting scopes. Like Contender, I believe in the proper torque applied to the screws. I shoot Service Rifle monthly (90+ rounds) and have shot...

They used to reside in Jordan. They were so disruptive that King Hussain kicked their asses out of Jordan, the UN whacked off a portion of Israel and created Palestine/West Bank. The UN is Israel's enemy/"friend".

The Key West agreement forbid the Army from having fixed wing ground attack aircraft. Now in Vietnam we had the OV1 Mohawk with multiple pods of white phosphorus 2.75" air to ground "marking" rockets. There even may have been some with an M60 mounted on a "hard point". I have even heard of O-1...

Two types of "stuck" rounds. One bullet stuck in the barrel. (Hammering it from either end will work, choose the shortest path of bullet passage.) Two, round stuck in the chamber. (Hammering it from the breach end dangerous and should NOT be done, from the muzzle end is the only way.) I bought...

Mine too!

Chinese "Junk" machine tools have started many US small businesses. I started "professionally" as a gunsmith in 2005, I had a surplus WWII worn-out Logan 24" lathe. By 2008 I had accrued enough money to purchase a Wholesale Tool 1340 lathe and a small knee mill. 16 years later they are still...

You bet your bibby the banks report to IRS.

So now the trial is a racial issue? A former Biden campaign aide who is now a CNN political commentator faced a ton of controversy over her remarks on the death of former NFL running back O.J. Simpson and what he "represented" to blacks. Following news on Thursday of Simpson's death, Ashley...

Not a tear will be shed. I was told by a gentleman once that one should never speak ill of the dead. His comment was "He's dead, GOOD!" Now he will be remembered in the annals of athletes and athletic supporters (jock straps) as a "LEGEND"...
