Re: Polishing Nickel

I used Mothers Mag and Aluminum Polish from Walmart to clean up couple of Nickel revolvers.
I just use soft cotton cloth and do it by hand. It cleaned up my revolvers nicely.

Re: Anyone remember Gunsmoke Enterprises?

I purchased my second AR from Gunsmoke at Ft. Lauderdale show in 2001. I talked to the father (I don't remember his name) and purchased a factory Bushmaster carbine from him. First time I took it to the range I noted the hammer pin would constantly work it's way out after firing few rounds. I took i...

Re: Was there legal way to carry weapon before state license?

Reason for asking this question is that back in early 1970's my father had a "permit" to carry concealed in two counties in FL...county of residence and country where he had business and wondered if they were legit permits. I think the one for country of business was a card signed by the s...

Re: Is this a roofing scam???

My barrel tile roof is 25 years old now and it's not in perfect condition. I recently had a small leak fixed by a reputable roofer who thinks it was caused by tile vibration caused by wind during one of the past hurricanes that loosen a nail...that lead to a small leak. I have couple other broken ti...

Is this a roofing scam???

I've been getting e-mails from a company that does roof inspections. They said they will come and do a complete roof inspection with a drone and provide report. They say they can get new roof for houses from insurance company due to storm damage. Like most things in life, anything that sound too goo...

Re: Simple carry gun for the elderly?

Is there much velocity increase with 22 mag over high velocity 22lr? Many years ago I choreographed couple of 22lr and two types of 22 mag all 36 or 40gr through a 4 5/8” Ruger Single Six and despite the increase muzzle, flash, blast and sound I believe the difference was only about 100 FPS. With 2”...

Re: Battle between two of the '90s classic Wonder-Nines

I tried to like hi-capacity DA 9mm pistols but I never could get attached to them as I have short fingers and never got good trigger position with them for DA. Closest one I liked was the Sig P226 for which my friend made me a "short reach trigger" by grinding down the standard trigger...I...

Re: Best AR Pistol 223/556 round.........

Speer Gold Dot 55gr
