      Help with Winchester 94

      The receiver is STEEL, sort of a MIM type of stuff, which was plated with iron, then caustic blued. When the plating wears off its nearly impossible to reblue, tho Brownells claims one of their caustic compounds under specific conditions words pretty well. My advice is to use one of the paint...

      Stanley Arms shotgun restoration

      That's what is known as a "hardware store" brand name, imported from Belgium in case lots back in the day. It doesn't cross reference to anything in my library. You will spend a ton of money and wind up with a gun that is worthless due to its history and the damascus barrels. My advice is to...

      Case stuck in chamber

      If you're having to use a rod to dislodge a case for whatever reason and worried about the rifling, wrap the rod every few inches with electrical tape. Eliminates possible contact. Also never use wood dowels whatever the situation, if it breaks you're in deep doo-doo. GW

      Who shot the floor at Bass Pro/

      Re: engineers. What's the difference between an engineer and a pig? You can argue with a pig. As far as some of these educated idjits out there. A neurosurgeon had his plumbing stop up on Christmas eve an hour before the big party his wife was putting on. After a bunch of frantic phone calls...

      Gunsmith to Install a Sling Swivel on a SxS .410 Shotgun

      Sling swivels on a double should ordinarily be soldered in place, a tricky job considering that the rib is soldered also. I would suggest you try Big Jake Welch. GW

      Advice for potential LEO?

      Used to work--long time ago--for an old sheriff in Texas. He had 2 main rules: 1. Treat a man like a man. 2. If the shxx starts, you win. Spent 15 yrs working in this state. Was the best and most useful advice I've ever gotten. Follow #1, you seldom need #2. GW

      SS Kresge model 150 diagram

      I checked Numrich for you, no listing. You could call them. That one sounds like an import under a trade name. You might try an inquiry over on shotgun world, lot of knowledgeable folk over there. GW

      Guns as Gifts

      The recipient can and should start their own database. As far as "transfer of ownership", there is no registration of firearms in this state showing that you "owned" the firearms in question. GW

      Melonoma gone!

      You are blessed, my friend. Went down that road a few years back, a three year episode, lost most of my right ear, radiation (screwed up my beard), and chemo. Too much interferon left me with severe neuropathy in legs. Can't walk worth a chit, but I don't quit, I still hunt, target shoot, and...

      Best way to hide human odor while hunting.

      Here's one that actually works: Pick up some Nullo at any drug store. This is a chlorophyll product used by ostomate patients, keeps the poop from stinking. Really! Take it till yours doesn't stink, you're halfway there. As others said, clean clothes washed in no scent soap, bathe with same...

      .40 reload safety question

      No need to scrap 'em. If they aren't good in the current gun, pull the loads, all the components can be salvaged. As they are lead bullets you'll probably have to use an impact puller. GW

      All American Gunsmithing moving

      This whole string of accusations, counter-accusations, and crap has a name:it's called bullying. Grow up, give it a rest and get on with life. GW
