Gunsmithing

Some time ago, I wrote an article about completing a black powder revolver kit from Dixie Gun Works. Upon completion, the frame still needed to be refinished as it was just bare steel. I mentioned that I hadn’t yet decided on what finish to use on the frame, but wanted something that at least looked like color case hardening, as this is the finish the original Colts had

In a previous article, I discussed dealing with one common malady of these old shotguns, excess headspace. In this article, I’m going to cover another common issue: chamber length.

There are a whole lot of break-action shotguns out there. If you don’t have one, you probably know someone who does. A lot of these shotguns are old and in need of some kind of repair. And given the state of things at present, you may even be looking at using one as a home defense weapon. But with some work, you can put these shotguns into condition to fill even that critical role.

For your next barrel replacement, upgrade to an old rifle, or new gun build, don’t hesitate to contact Preferred Barrel Blanks and make them your preferred supplier.

Going into this project, my expectations were low but the Zaffiri Precision ZPS.1 proved that quality is attainable at a realistic price point. It’s called value.

I have known hundreds of hunters over the years and I have to say turkey hunters are the most passionate, focused group of hunters I’ve ever encountered.

The sky is the limit with the first truly modular handgun, and the Pro-Cut slides are an important milestone in development. We are going to see big things from the P320 series. And I can’t wait to see what components come out next.

Not an uncommon sight: stripped out scope mount screw holes. They’re also our starting point for today’s project.

I set out to build the Ultimate 3 Gun Rifle, and I did. But I also accidentally built a rifle capable of PRS competition and hitting targets past 1000 yards.
