      Review: The New Chip McCormick RPM 10-round 1911 Magazine

      ...I've personally experienced fail to lock on empty with Shooting Star magazines, and I'm very glad Mr. McCormick addressed this issue in his line! *However, the magazine is tested in the real world to function under harsh conditions, having been tested in the Desert Wars among other areas.*...

      Brass Shining Made Easy!

      Hello, I was playing with different methods of shining brass. Wet tumbling, I used 2 cups water and added one tablespoon lime juice. This is the result: I hope this helps someone! Regards, Josh

      Savage MkII and 93r Bolt Guide Pin Problem And Replacement

      Hi Folks, I noticed my Savage MkII wasn't acting right, so I parked it until I could take a look at it. A couple weeks ago a decided to resurrect it. It is a good-shooting rifle. A new trigger was a must, so I ordered a Rifle Basix. I was aware of some bouncing going on when the bolt...

      T53 bolt issue (now with obligatory pic!)

      Hello, Not trying to toot my own horn. You might find these helpful. Sorry I don't film well: Excuse the mess. I'd been looking for something, if I recall. This is the one I think should help you out the most; it's long though. Really a simple design when you tear it down, lots of these...

      T53 bolt issue (now with obligatory pic!)

      I still must disagree. I'm not a "fanboy" as you call it. I have, among several others rifles, a Gewehr 88. It's an excellent design for the shooter, but it's a **** design for the average soldier. Very precise inletting, pillar bedding, and a sleeved barrel that screams sub-MOA (and it...

      T53 bolt issue (now with obligatory pic!)

      Hello, Brass Stacker makes a nice cocking ring that is a simple bolt-on. Also, if you lay the rifle on your forearm with your arm bent at 90 degrees, your upper arm will brace the rifle on the buttplate and allow you to easily engage or disengage the safety. It's not a "**** design", as was...

      Mosin Rear Peep... Whatcha' Think?

      And sorry for the pics above not showing up. Photobucket is having problems with their Pro accounts, which I have. The pics should be back up shortly, according to them. Regards, Josh

      Mosin Rear Peep... Whatcha' Think?

      The existing ghost ring is about 0.125". This aperture shown is 0.094. I don't really like the 0.094" as it just falls in between ghost ring and not-ghost-ring, and if I go to production, the standard aperture size will be about 0.063 or so to start with, anyway. I still like the ghost...

      Mosin Rear Peep... Whatcha' Think?

      Hello, I'm currently in the office/workshop. Orwell is on internet radio, and I'm filling sight orders. I've also prototyped an interchangeable aperture rear peep. The first size is 3/32", which is my favorite size peep sight. Pictures to follow later tonight or sometime tomorrow. Regards...

      The Awaited Rigby-Style Mosin Rear-Sight Range Report!

      ...I really didn't need to work at this group. I just started flinging lead downrange. Natural respiratory pause was more like natural respiratory *cough*, so I did have a few problems. All-in-all though, for a fast-acquisition ghost ring style sight, this was acceptable. Will this rifle...

      Mosin Rear Peep... Whatcha' Think?

      Customers asked me to develop it, so I did. That's really the long and short of it. Only an idiot doesn't listen to his customers. That sight is well-liked and works well. Most Mosins will keep up with most Mausers in the precision department, by the way. Scoff if you'd like; both depend...

      Mosin Rear Peep... Whatcha' Think?

      Hello, I hope to be over my cold enough this weekend to get out and shoot it for "postable" targets. I guess 60-70 years ago this was considered quite the modification. M91 Mosin Nagant, Early Sporter Regards, Josh

      Mosin Rear Peep... Whatcha' Think?

      Please excuse the surroundings and the picture quality. I did this at home, not the shop, in response to some concerns that the cocking piece will move on the x and y axis and not only the z axis. The first part demonstrates that I have a standard sear, while the second and third parts give...

      Mosin Nagant trigger

      Hello, The Huber is a long single-stage pull, NOT like the Finn trigger. Try this instead of an M39 trigger: Here is a trigger I modified while taking time to record the manufacturing process. Please bear in mind that this is during manufacture and it does not yet have grease or...
