    Chrome Silicon vs. Stainless Steel: Which Recoil Spring is Right for You?

    Sprinco makes some fine springs. I may need to try one in my 1911. I see that now that you were talking about springs for an AR platform. I was talking springs for a 1911 pistol. In the 1911 Sprinco and Wolff cost about the same and I would use either in a 19114 with confidence.

    Chrome Silicon vs. Stainless Steel: Which Recoil Spring is Right for You?

    Standard round wire recoil springs of the correct weight. My go to spring is a Wolff. They worked fine for over 100 years as designed. I get a kick out of how some people say JMB was a genius and made the 1911 perfect; don't use new methods like MIM, Ti firing pins etc then go on about flat...

    Wilson combat oil

    I do not think you will go wrong using any decent oil. I also think that a lot of the oils from different builders/suppliers are very similar. I use Ed Brown oil myself because that is what I happen to have at hand.

    Breaking the Mold: Magpul’s Knives & Groundbreaking MIM Technology

    Can't be. All the "experts" out there says that MIM is porous, can't be hardened so it's too soft, will crumble if you fit or hone it and will crack and break so how can it make a good knife blade? Than again, if it will make a usable knife blade why not a sear, or hammer etc.

    Denali or McKinley?

    As others said it was originally Denali ( The Great One in the native language) and when the national park was proposed in 1916 it was proposed as Mt. Denali Nat'l Park. While the name was being argued out Pres. McKinley was assassinated so the name Changed and was officialized as Mt. McKinley...

    Prodigy firing pin stop question

    I don't think it is a crack, just a mold artifact. That said; If it is a standard 1911 FP Stop the Wilson BP stop will work with little or no fitting. My Ronin's stop was sloppy enough that it allowed a slight clocking of the extractor. Picked up a Wilson BP stop cheap and it went in nicely...

    I inherited a sword

    Start by getting it identified / appraised by someone who knows what they're doing. Japanese swords from WWII may be contemporary made and issues OR they could be old family swords, sometimes made up with plain handles, tsubas and sheaths. The older family swords can be worth a lot of money...

    President Joe Biden has pardoned his son, Hunter

    I think that the plan was for Kamala to pardon him allowing Joe to keep his promise not to. When she didn't win all bets were off. If anyone thinks this is about that gun charge go back and read the pardon again. A starting date was picked that was just before he was hired by Burisma and when...

    Blast from the past

    From what I understand Mike Stewart was a great knife guy with good ideas and designs; but could be hard to work with. I always likes the old Blackjack designs He also started Bark River knives.

    Blast from the past

    Those are fine knives and a fine watch In between ( about 1996 thru 2001 or 2002) Mike Stewart helped Marbles get back into the knife market. They put out some awfully good knives in the so called Mike Stewart era. This is a Special Factory order from 2000 that was made in very limited...

    Snub revolvers are still relevant

    I pretty much use two loads I have some of the no longer available 130 gr Federal +P HST Micro short barrel JHP Wadcutters in it at Home and some 135 Gr +P Speer Gold Dot short barrel loads in the speed loaders. Both are fine loads but the HST Micro's have less penetration so outside and...
