I’m looking for a deal on a Bridgeport series 1 at the moment. I’ve been looking at 80% ar10/15 lowers, they don’t seem hard to finish, but to turn a block of aluminum into an 80% seems like it would be a bit more difficult. Operate and program a HAAS VF2 at work, but haven’t done much on a manual mill since school a decade ago. It seems like I could do a lot with bigger end mills and some router bits. But google black lists a lot of resources, just wandering what others have done... Read more ..read more

I have been using a set (rougher/finisher) of .22lr from Clymer for quite a while. Not sure what style. decided to try Bentz style from Manson. Also thought replaceable bushing pilot would be good to have, at the time I needed .217" pilot. (ordered and received) I then got a tightbore barrel blank form Lilja, pin gauge indicates I need .215" pilot (.216" pin will not fit) Just a note I only do Target Pistols! Bushings were ordered and received from Manson. One day a thought came to mind... Read more ..read more

I bought some old Herters rifle powder at a gun show this weekend. Herter 100, 101, 102, and 103. I no longer have the reloading Data. Can you help me? If the burn rate of each could be matched to more common powders it would give me a base to develop some loads. If you have specific data, that would be even better. Thanks. Gerry ..read more

Seems there are a bunch of cheap semi-auto bullpup 12 gauges on the market right now, the cheapest of which is $200. I'd like to get one, both for home defense, and for the coolness factor (I've been playing some Shadowrun lately). I understand the cheapest ones are made in Turkey, and some of them have poor reliability. Anyone have first or second hand knowledge of which ones are good or bad? This one looks really appealing, if it'll run... Read more ..read more

I am looking for the next retirement project. Does anybody have or know of a good source of drawing or plans? I have the RGG plans. Not really what I am looking for. The books on Amazon don't look like they have anything but pictures and history. Google really doesn't bring up anything either. Mike ..read more
