I have lost various things at shows over the years: it occurs overnight, and the security guards have been the ones responsible. Things like two fullsize Apple monitors, big things that only security crew would nick. It is not all legal gun owners at the shows. If doing a show, ALWAYS have...

Heym was right. Most are CNC machined. It is obvious when you look at the bullets. Copper is a real pain to machine: it wants to flow around the tool instead of cut. Takes very sharp tools, right cutting fluid, right speed, right everything if you want to avoid a mess. So difficult, that...

A free machining brass has up to 3.5% lead, and on average 3%. For example, CW613N. This means you are right on the borderline even with brass bullets, e.g. Fox's, The cases contain lead, but are picked up by anyone with manners, so guess they don't count. Primers contain lead styphnate. A...

Got heaps. How many do you want? Just the one? Where to send it?

Am at Enforce-TAC, Nuremburg this week. IWA starts the day after Enforce-TAC finishes. Are you coming to Enforce-TAC as well? On balance, what is the advantage over putting a rod up the bore and sticking the end of the rod in a vice?

This just popped up in my Youtube feed, and while I ignore most of these as I don't have time to waste on Youtube, the title caught my attention so gave it a watch: Shows just how precarious things are: one might invests tens of thousands, and years, into a sport for it all to vanish on the...

As I suspected, someone taking offence at my stating the truth. I did not tar all migrants, I tarred those migrants who cannot provide a full life history that can be substantiated. That background check is the rule for us, and it should be the rule for everyone. We do not need someone with...

A wise man. A genius who does not exist on earth, to make all decisions perfectly and foresee the future decades ahead. It took me 3 tries to get it right.

As EnfieldSpares says, you just buy lanolin, mix with Castor Oil (both from any decent chemist, or Amazon, or larger supermarket) and you have a liquid, great at protecting your rifle from rust because it sticks. I use it to lube my full case sizing dies as well: just put it on one case and...

It took my youngest daughter (19 years old at the time), a year to get an S2, in 2023. FEO wanted 2 references, not just one. Her application was put on hold until she could provide proof of safety training, even though I assured the FEO she had been out with me, and when granted, all...

When I dropped into Edinburgh Rifles recently, they had piles of them. If you phone or PM him, I am sure you can find what you are looking for straight away. They are good guys, in a proper gun shop, experienced and love shooting. BTW, I bought my last two mods from Ed, both work fine: one...

We are using everything except the green gralloch, hide, head and feet. I butcher the deer I shoot to give: A. European food: The haunch, rump and shank, with a soup bone. Front legs, (roast as pairs they are great) Fillet (Mignon), Sirloin fillet. B. African food (used by Nigerians as...

I think it is an essential part of vetting: some people are as smooth as butter on the outside, but are monsters or bullies in private. When I mentioned to the FEO (in Scotland), I was surprised they don't ask others in the household, he says they run the names of others in the household to...

Weed has been proved harmful on many fronts. One of the most serious, is in some people it causes mental disorders, particularly schizophrenia, depression, and substance use disorders. There are many scientific papers on this. A terrible cost for some people, to go from being normal to...

I did a reverse search using Google lens, which found many messy gun rooms (assumed to be in the USA from the lack of gunsafes or locks), but not this image. The AI Overview states the obvious: AI Overview The image shows a storage area with several firearms and related gear. Multiple rifles...
