      inexpensive, beaten up 22 rifle barrel

      Looking for an inexpensive 22 rifle barrel. Doesn't matter if it's short, long, or long rifle, as it'll be cut back and rechambered. I missed out on a few cheap ones on ebay (around 20 dollars shipped), so I'm hoping someone has one laying in the scrap pile they'd be willing to get rid of...

      made my first leather holster

      so after reading this tutorial, I decided that I wanted to build a holster. Of course, I've never sewed anything in my life so I decided that, rather than waste a good piece of leather, I'd start with a bag of scraps I got from hobby lobby for 3 bucks. Not the best leather in the world, but I'm...

      who has experience with the s&w 3913NL?

      Found one at a pawn shop today that I had to have. Needed to be cleaned, but other than that it's in good shape. Only came with one flat bottomed 8rd magazine and some piece of junk holster, though. Put it in layaway for 400, which seems about average for them, but I don't quite understand the...

      Made a practice knife last night.

      Lately I've been teaching a buddy how to use some of the tools in my garage, so, as an easy project, we're making knives out of an old sawblade. Sawblades aren't a good kind of steel for this, and I know that, but these are more for instructional purposes than actual use, so oh well. This is...

      Started building some cargo racks for my daily driver/bov suv.

      So I carry quite a bit of gear in my car. Stuff like my rappelling gear, tow straps, first aid stuff, camera gear, and so on flaps around in my car and the sound of it has been pissing me off, so I'm building a small cage like thing to hang stuff on. Cleaning out the car. Here you can...

      decent abc watch for <100 dollars?

      I've been looking into altitude/barometer/compass watches for a bit since I do a fair amount of hiking/backpacking and figure that, if i'm going to wear a watch, it should double as a backup compass and such if I get in a jam. I do carry a compass, but, seeing as how those features won't take up...

      put a 1911 in layaway. need opinions

      Long story short, my father buys tools at pawn shops and resells them on ebay as a way of supporting his retirement. Well, while at a pawn shop spending some quality time with the old man I notice a 'springfield' 1911 (i'll explain the quotes later) for 569. It's not in the best cosmetic shape...

      I'd like to save the cost of shipping, if possible, so is there anywhere that carries them locally, and any idea what they run price wise?

      anybody ever sharpened the edge of a dogtag?

      I read an article about the ranger rick survival necklaces, and the guy ended up sharpening the edge of a dogtag for use as a last, last, last resort blade. Anybody ever tried it? I figure you could sharpen and edge and throw a silencer over it just in case.

      fox advanced expeditionary pack?

      Anybody ever used one? I can't seem to find a photo online of the strap side of the back. I've found a good deal on a kelty 4500 cu in internal frame back, and I'm trying to choose between the two for backpacking/BOB use.

      Where can one find a stevens 200 in indy? (In a .308) I'm looking at building a budget bolt gun, and in tennessee I could have found them at walmart, but none of the walmarts around carry firearms that I've found. Thanks in advance.

      hard primers on cheap american eagle .223?

      I bought a few boxes of .223 at walmart before going to tennessee on a weekend vacation. In 40 rounds I had 4 failures to fire due to what appears to be a hard primer. The primer strikes were roughly half as deep on the failures as the ones that'd fired. I'd shoot a photo of the two side by...

      how to modify spine of esee for firestarter?

      I picked up an esee 3 off ebay, and, after giggling like a little girl while turning countess receipts and random sticks into a pile of shavings all over my balcony, I used a small file to remove some of the coating on the spine of the blade, just after the thumb jimping, more or less. The...

      who has experience with the mora companion model/series/whatever?

      I just ordered a mora companion mg carbon on ebay, and, other than the fanfare surrounding the mora knives among bushcrafters, I can't seem to find much about that particular model. It cost me an arm and a leg, (16 whole dollars shipped) so I'm hoping I didn't squander my retirement fund for...

The package rates it at 160 lumens/4watt led (as rated by led manufacturer). Comes with 2 duracell ultra cr123's in the package. They're...

      Anybody care to help me identify my $50 s&w gun show paperweight?

      I added this thread to smith-wessonforum.com, too, but the more eyes the merrier... Okay, first let me state that the reason why I referred to this as a "paperweight" is because, at the moment the cylinder rotates freely when the hammer is not pulled back. While I'm sure I could attempt to fire...

      red class benchmades for 17.99 at cabelas.

      I'm sure most of you guys have seen this already, but cabelas has the tika ii and tika ii minis on sale for 17.99. They also have a ten dollar kershaw and a crkt. They're the red class (obviously), but they'd still be good to keep around. I bought one of each and plan on keeping one in my...
