    Refinishing alloys?

    Plating would get expensive. A good cheap answer would be BBQ Grill paint as it or another hi temp paint would hold up pretty well. Flat Black would be a good choice and a spray can would not cost much.

    Refinishing alloys?

    Likely Zamak which is a zinc, Copper, Magnesium and Aluminum. Paint / cerakote if your best option.

    I Must Be the Only One

    I never had an urge to get an AR; My tastes ran more to super accurate long range varmint rifles. The last one I has was a superb Remington 40XB-BR in cal .22 BR. Canjar LP trigger set to 4 ounces and a Leupold scope boosted to 24x by Wally Seibert. That thing was wickedly accurate and was a...

    add on checkered frontstrap - Wilson

    Thank you for the info; I saw that. I am a little on the cheap side and if I wait until I am making an order to Wilson anyway it'll only cost $10. I am in no hurry at all so why spend an extra $6?

    add on checkered frontstrap - Wilson

    I am planning on trying one; I'm just waiting until I either place another order with Wilson, I get to a gunshow where someone has them or or a stainless one comes up for sale cheap. I am in no hurry. I would rather try one of these before going the checkering route as it's reversible. I just...

    5.7 PITA!

    My Brother-in-Law has an FN that works perfectly; I'm sure S&W could sort it out for you. Call them and they'll probably send a return label.

    The Pink Panther

    Being There was strange and different. Strangelove was great; Sellers played what; three roles in it, the President, the ex Nazi bureaucrat in the wheelchair and the British officer. I liked Slim Pickens and Major Kong the best though

    Magazine release lock

    A couple of questions again; this time about the magazine release lock. one; On my Ronin ( an early Ronin Operator 5" ) the release lock is blued. On most photos I see they are stainless. Does this mean mine was changed in it's past or does it just reflect what was in the parts bin when it...

    buying ammo online, i gotta prove..........

    I am in Illinois; on-line sellers must have a Copy of a current Illinois FOID and some want a DL as well. Address on the ID MUST match the shipping address. They won't ship to Chicago / Cook County. To buy in the local gun shop they need to run the FOID to verify is is still valid and has not...

    An EDC for Every Season: The Ronin 4.25" 9mm 1911

    With an IWB holster and a big maybe a horizontal Shoulder holster 3/4" off the muzzle might make a difference but I am not sure just how much. For OWB carry give me the 5" and the little bit of extra velocity. In a smaller 1911 for concealed carry and Officers model that is more compact at...

    B-52 Stratofortress — The BUFF Strategic Bomber

    You are correct of course. My point, though badly made, is that the B-52 just keeps chugging along doing it's thing very very well. I like how it's long thin wings flap while flying and there is a computerized system to dampen it.

    B-52 Stratofortress — The BUFF Strategic Bomber

    I love the old B-52. Here is a plane from, Well, 1952, that just keeps going. No matter how many times the Air Force tries to field a replacement, XB-70, B-36, B-57, B-58, B1A & B, B-2 nothing comes close. They just keep re-winging and re-building the old BUFF's

    When is it time to stop buying

    I'm 71 and while I gave some away to my daughter and Son-in-law I have not stopped looking. In fact I just bought my Ronin 9mm in September.

    Scope Magnification: What’s The Right Amount?

    I have always favored fixed powers for my use. A good 4x (Leupold) on my .22 and on my varminter I started with a 10x Bushnell then upgraded to a 12X Leupold, When I went to a 40X-BR varmint rifle I used a 24x. Variables are very practical thou; I would use a 2-7x on a rimfire and a 4 or 5 -...

    Weren't we talking about low quality hardware in RDS? This is far worse!

    All info points to Gustav having controlled flight before the Wrighjt Bros. The only problem is that he dodn't document or promote it as well. Old_Me: Dayton has some good things there but I would rather just pass thru too.

    Go to Dayton, Ohio. Kitty Hawn was were they did some testing due to an abundance of hot air blowing. (Wind) DAYTON is where they invented and developed their aircracft and based their operations.
