Gunsmithing

Today’s instruction is what I found is needed between 20,000 and 30,000 rounds. The awesome part of this rebuild is that it’ll only cost you 35 bucks!

Why make a bolt-action handgun? Is it a design built to comply with California’s emerging and increasingly intolerant firearm laws? Of course it is.

The ATF put a stop to SD Tactical’s “solvent trap” business. A solvent trap is a catch-all term for a parts kit for building a suppressor.

Polymer80 is introducing two new 80 percent pistol frames for 2017. These uncompleted receivers are compatible with Glock 19 parts and aftermarket parts.

Our friends over at the American Gunsmithing Institute (AGI) are having their annual Christmas sale, which means you can score some of their highly informative gunsmithing DVD courses on the cheap!

For my money, the only two parts of the gun that actually matter are the barrel and the trigger. (Optics, I consider to be a completely different discussion.) The barrel is the only part that really actually matters for accuracy, and the trigger is the most important part for how you interface with that barrel.

Do you know how a Glock works?

I’ve always been a big fan of .357 Sig caliber. Yeah, I know, it’s got more recoil and muzzle blast than 9mm. On the other hand, it comes darn close, and sometimes matches, the performance of the classic 125-grain .357 Magnum round. It’s hard to argue with the effectiveness of that cartridge.

This week, on adventures in amateur gunsmithing, we acquired a basic M4 Carbine-style AR kit for a DIY AR build project. The kit comes with a complete upper receiver and a lower parts kit. All you need to supply is a lower receiver.So, come with us on this DIY journey on home building our own AR!
