After shooting my brother-in-law's old Winchester pump action 22, I decide I wanted one too. I found a Henry H003T that filled the bill. It originally came with a 20" barrel and 14" LOP. Since I like shorter carbine type rifles, out came the trusty ol' Sawzall. With a little off the front...

If anybody in the Phoenix area is interested, I stumbled across a Gary Reeder 410 GNR Stealth Hawk while looking for a Single Six at a local pawn shop. They're asking for $1200 although I bet there's a little wiggle room in that number. It appears to be a Version 1 conversion and is in pretty...

I've always liked Ruger single actions with a Bisley grip frame. I've done a couple of New Model Blackhawk 357s and decided I wanted a 22 Single Six Bisley conversion. After looking around a bit, I didn't realize how relatively easy it is to do. All you need is a: - A complete plow handle 22...

I wanted a 4 5/8" 357 Magnum Blackhawk Bisley but since Ruger doesn't seem to make one, I decided to put one together. I started with a new Blackhawk and then found a used 7 1/2" Bisley 357 at a Bass Pro. I swapped the grip frames, putting the steel Bisley grip on the shorty and the aluminum...

I've had a couple of bolt actions over the years - a Remington 700, a Mossberg MVP LR, and a Uintah bolt action upper on an AR15 lower. Bought them, shot them, got bored, and then sold them using my patented buy high/sell low technique. So when I got the bolt action itch again, I thought I try...

Plan A - Matador Arms adapter with Anderson lower, Macon 5 inch barrel, FM9 bolt, and tungsten powder filled 8 ounce buffer.

Bought a Holosun HS507C-X2-ACSS with as Vulcan reticle to try on my Shadow Systems G19 clone. I think this is only available from Primary Arms since I couldn't find it on the Holosun website. It has a 10 MOA chevron as an aiming reference centered in a 250 MOA circle. The nice thing about the...

If you're considering a bobtail mod to your Government or Commander 1911, I found one alternative to reduce the grip on a 1911 that may involve a little less work. I've done a regular bobtail mod in the past. In addition to the main spring housing itself, I bought an installation jig from...

Just a heads up in case anybody doesn't know this already. If you're eligible to use a military base exchange, you can buy a gun from them for a reasonable pre-panic price in most cases. I was shopping for a S&W Model 19. I wasn't having any luck locally and online sales were the usual...

This might be a solution in need of a problem, but thought I'd throw this out here in case anybody is working on a similar Glock build. I modded my Glock 19 Gen 3, replacing the frame with an aftermarket Shadow Systems MR918 Gen 4 frame. I used the complete Gen 3 slide with factory internals...

If you're looking for some kind of blast deflector or linear comp for your latest AR pistol build, here's one that's fairly simple, works with a the standard birdcage flash hider, and won't break the bank. Found it on the Thordsen Customs website - the BD-180 Blast Deflector. It goes over a...

Wonder if anybody has recently used Tombstone Tactical to handle an online FFL transfer. I understand with all the latest craziness, their website says it's taking them 5-7 days to handle one. When I call their number, they have a recorded message saying they aren't answering the phone. Pete

Looking for a local gunsmith to install a dove tail front sight on my Chiappa 1892 Trapper CAR (Cowboy Assault Rifle). The front sight was canted a few degrees off to the left from the factory and required quite a bit of left windage to correct POA. I was able to move the front sight to the...
