Ballistol is all I use on handguns. Grease is reserved for weapons that the original engineers designed for grease to be used on them such as Garands and M1 carbines.

I own one. After it went back to keltec so they could fix their poor quality control it’s run fine no problems. I only use it when I need a real small CCW.

I use a Gillette Fatboy Safety razor manufactured in the early 1950’s. I’m not using anything new from Gillette intentionally since they went woke.
For blades I use Feather Blades made in Japan. They’re crazy sharp. I usually buy more from a guy on eBay located in Indonesia. They’re the same...
I joined 2009. I still read the forum maybe twice a month. I don’t post anything anywhere online that could be controversial. I don’t Facebook. I still see Facebook as a teenage thing. I don’t twitter, etc.
I post only if I see a reasonable discussion that’s interesting to me.
The forum was...
I’ve got a sp01 tactical that I’ve used for years in three gun and some USPSA. I also did all the action parts from Cajun gunworks. I’ve never bothered with a crown or bushing. The pistol is plenty accurate without those modifications. I’ve got no problem hitting anything at the ranges we shoot...
Odd gauge shotguns? Those were all even numbered gauges. 12, 16, 20, 10, 28, 410?
All even. I think a 13 gauge shotgun would be cool and a odd number.

He was the producer. He’s responsible for every handgun choice on set, every safety person hired, every policy for safety, etc. I don’t care what his excuses are he was the producer. He created the unsafe conditions due to his choices. Period.

Getting what other people determine you need is what caused mass starvation in the USSR, China……..
Getting what you want cause you worked for it? That’s what made America great.
And keeping those masses in a situation to cause starvation requires them not be armed.

When I was a teenager in the 1980’s I used a Winchester model 70 in 243 that would occasionally have the same problem. It came down to the reloader, my dad, not being the best at reloading. So by any chance were you shooting reloads?

I used to collect Colts as well. My only remaining ones are a King Cobra 1990’s production and a Colt Cobra 1950’s production. The Cobra was rebuilt by Grant Cunningham years ago. I still use it as my daily carry weapon.
Those are very nice revolvers and are only appreciating in value.

From what I’ve been told you expect explosions periodically when making black powder. The production process is designed to accommodate for them as best as is possible.

Totally agree, this won’t repair pitting, that ship has sailed. But you’ll be amazed how much gun blue is still present if you don’t screw it up not knowing what you’re doing.
Also reverse electrolysis works very well to remove rust and preserve the finish. This is one of my methods I’ve done...
Here’s another thought, if you buy a Colt SP01 you could shoot it for a few years and then sell it. They’re going up in value. Theoretically you could sell for more than you paid for it. This would make it essentially a free gun in the end. But it would have significantly higher buy in than a...
I also own one. Great gun. But it’ll only run on 62 grain 5.56 and hotter loaded 55 grain. The accuracy for mine at least is much better with 62 grain as well. The barrel is a 1:7 twist as I understand.

I work next to an airport. Military aircraft are doing that sort of thing frequently. I’ve seen cobras, Blackhawks, v-22 ospreys, c130’s, and several other types of military aircraft doings similar things here.

+1 on the Grant Cunningham article. Boy some of you spend a lot time pondering on something I give little or no thought too.

Prayers for him and his family. Yes.
But nope a crook that violates the public trust is the same in DC or BR. No excuses.

That’s a big barrel of worms to open in the historic firearms community.
What are your goals in restoration? For most firearms they loose value when restored. But that’s not always true:..
