Recently I needed to remove the channel liner from my glock19g5, with not really wanting to order a new one because as you know you have to thread your removal tool into the plastic tube and pull it out damaging it. I thought if I could use the force of the bristles of the glock nylon cleaning brush by lightly shoving it down into the liner it would pull out. Before using a 7/32 hollow punch and a light tapping tool, just be sure to inspect for any damage or stress marks just incase. And I...

My new Ruger LCP Max was off a bit with its shot pattern, so I needed to play with the drift-adjustable rear sight. It’s been a long time since I didn’t have adjustable sights on a gun. And when you are only planning on tenths of inches of needed movement, I didn’t think I could obtain that precision with my hammer and punches. So, I researched sight pusher tools.

After shooting the EZ a couple times I decided I like it better than the Shield but prefer the Shield's night sights. So, I emailed Smith to see if I can just swap the sights. The reply was, "You sure can!"
Sweet!! However, my sight pusher wouldn't budge them. Or I was too afraid I'd mess up something. So I took them to a Smitty I've used a few times in the past. It...

Hi, my name is Van, I am from Candler and living in Canton North Carolina at the moment. It’s funny cause I just joined this place and did not know about this form and website until just now when I was researching for information about the G3 tube in the ITT Night mariner monocular I bought nonfunctioning a while back that I hope to get the tube working out of, And I realize that I have a serious problem with my first re-barreling of an upper receiver on my first AR 15. I rebar a very heavy...
