Re: Thoughts on reforming RF

Well, I live in Michigan, USA and there are many opportunities to compete in Bullseye Pistol Competition within a hour or so from my house. I know of many bullseye matches across the state so Bullseye Competition is holding on but struggling in this area. I do not know of one Rapid Fire facility in ...

Ok, Just got into air pistol and struggling with a 540 average but I am looking at the cost of pellets for a tin of 500 and they range from approximately $8.00 to $20.00 for the 500 pellet tin. Coming from the rimfire and centerfire competition world, pellet costs are minor and people are trying to ...

Re: Advice on S&W model 41

There are a number of issues that commonly make the model 41 jam or malfunction. Extractor, ejector, magazines, dirty chamber. I would recommend doing the "Plop" test. That is you take the barrel and drop a loaded round in it. It should drop all the way in. turn the barrel breach down and ...

gip putty or bondo

Good Morning:

Need to fit a grip and what is the best product to use for a grip putty or grip bondo?

Also is it better to use plastic cling wrap for forming or a latex glove?

Got a used steyr lp50 and not to much dremel work is needed but a bit of material needs to be added.

Regards,
Crankster

I have a harbor freight and have used it on some parts but have stopped using it on firearm parts. It dulls the blue, impacts aluminum parts, and it does remove paint from painted parts. I would not hesitate to disassemble a pistol and use it to clean some of the smaller parts but would not put a as...

Re: Pardini dry fire plugs

I took the CMP empty chamber indicator and whittled it down so that the tail was the same diameter up to the 90 deg bend and use that as a dry fire plug. Once inserted, it stays there no matter how many times you cycle the bolt. I have made a dozen or so, gave a few away, and yet to wear one out. Pr...
