• Review: Chicago Pneumatic CP7200 Mini Orbital Sander is Solid! May 30, 2017
  Well folks, I bought three Jet small dual action sanders from a closeout tool shop 4-6 years ago and have to replace the little valve on them several times each.  This year when two failed, there were no little valves to be found so I decided to go with a name brand.  I did this ...
• ATF letter stating you can build an AR pistol from a receiver transferred as such and never assembled as a rifle May 29, 2017
  Okay, I posted a couple of ATF letters and a guy sent me a message asking if I had the letter specifying that an AR pistol can be built from an AR receiver that was transferred as a receiver and never assembled as a rifle.  It just so happens I did save that one back when ...
• How to install a Huma Regulator in a Hatsan Gladius Air Cylinder May 27, 2017
  The Hatsan Gladius is a pretty cool precharged pneumatic (PCP) air rifle.  You get a long of bang for your buck but it does lack an important feature needed to get more consistent accuracy from the rifle – regulated air pressure. The stock Gladius has a power setting but it does not have a consistent air ...
• How to Degas / Depressurize a Hatsan Gladius Cylinder May 26, 2017
  The Hatsan Gladius is a really cool bullpup precharged pneumatic (PCP) air rifle.  One really neat feature is that you can simply unscrew the air cylinder and install another.  A second cylinder is way easier to carry around than an air tank of you are hunting or doing pest control.  Also, you can have different ...
• Video: Процесс производства оружия на ВПМЗ Молот // Production process at the VPMZ MOLOT factory March 2017 May 25, 2017
        Molot published this walk through of their production facility in March 2017.  It’s in Russian but with English subtitles.  It’s only 5:31 long and worth your time.  Yeah, I drooled when I saw the injection molding.
• The actual March 2017 ATF letter approving stabilizing braces has a section about customization you need to know about May 25, 2017
  Yes, I am late to the game on actually reading the March 2017 ATF letter clarifying the use of stabilizing braces.   It’s been on my to-do list for some time and I finally did.   I do think this is very helpful – notably: With respect to stabilizing braces, ATF has concluded that attaching the ...
• Video: Ostfront 1987: Walther WA-2000 vs SVD Dragunov from InRangeTV May 24, 2017
  This 30:11 long video had me seriously drooling.  You have Ian McCollum from Forgotten Weapons and Karl Kasarda from InRangeTV squaring off on targets.  Ian is firing a rare German Walther WA-2000 sniper rifle in .300 Win Mag and Karl is shooting the Russian 7.62x54R SVD Dragunov.  They role play a bit and take this back ...
• How to remove rust from a tool with apple cider vinegar May 24, 2017
  I live in Michigan and work in an unheated shop.  In the winter, when I use a space heater to work, condensation forms on metal surfaces and rust happens.  I try to keep my tools oiled but once in a while I miss something.  There is a real simple way to remove rust that is ...
• Video: Walther WA-2000: The Ultimate German Sniper Rifle by Forgotten Weapons May 23, 2017
  The first time I saw the Walther WA-2000 I fell in love.  Wow.  It was the most amazing looking sniper rifle I had ever seen and I’ve only seen one once years and years ago.  Like the HK PSG-1, the WA-2000 was developed in response to the 1972 Munich Olympic Games incident.  Development started in ...
• How to remove the Zastava M92 PAP Pistol’s Factory Thread Cover May 23, 2017
  A few folks have asked how to remove the factory installed thread protector from their M92 PAP pistols.  Zastava does actually thread the pistols and it’s a 26mm diameter x 1.5mm pitch left hand thread (M27x1.5LH is the short cut way to write it) under that cover. These things were installed for importation, ruin the ...
• Video: H&K PSG-1: The Ultimate German Sniper Rifle by Forgotten Weapons May 22, 2017
  When the H&K Präzisionsschützengewehr (German for “precision shooting rifle”) PSG-1 came out almost 30 years ago, I thought it was the most amazing rifle I had ever seen.  Chambered in 7.62×51 it was the West German’s response to a decided lack of effective sniper rifles in their police forces after the Munich attack at the ...
• Buy a big Neiko 10048A set of quarter inch driver bits and not worry about having the right one when you encounter something weird May 22, 2017
  You know the quarter-inch bit really gives you amazing flexibility 4 installing or removing different types of screws, bolts and even using some tools such as Spade bits and step drills. With them you can overcome the problem of having the right type of screwdriver to install or remove specialty security screws or even things ...
• Video: Rare Weapons of Saddam’s Iraq 1979 to 2003 by jmantime May 21, 2017
          I like jmantime’s videos – lots of photos, organized and set to music.  He assemble this video around the weapons found in Iraq during Saddam Hussein’s reign between 1979 and 2003.  The video ranges from Tariq handguns and Tabuk rifles all the way up through through tanks, the Babylon Gun, rocket launchers and so forth. ...
• Irwin Lock-n-Load Quarter-inch bit extensions can save your bacon May 21, 2017
  Irwin make some very nice quarter-inch drive extensions in different lengths that you can use for extending your reach of everything from screwdriver bits, socket drivers and even step drills. I have even stacked the units for getting into really bizarre locations. I have use them for everything from reaching down inside butt stocks to loosen ...

• Video: Chinese Type 56 AK-57 (Shooting and History) by Forgotten Weapons May 20, 2017
    This is a cool review of an actual North Vietnamese Army (NVA) Chinese Type 56 AK.  It was a captured rifle and brought back to the US.  Ian of Forgotten Weapons does one of his usual exemplary reviews of the rifle and discusses its history.  
• Blazer GB2001 micro torches are very handy May 20, 2017
  I work a lot with plastics, paracord and webbing.  Thus, I need to melt ends, heat small tools/probes to poke holes and what have you.  I use lighters for a while but the problem was they didn’t generate very much heat. They were good for searing the end of a paracord but not quickly. Sometimes ...
• Video: I Have This Old Gun – Chinese Type 56 (AKM) Rifle May 19, 2017
  The NRA did a nice American Rifleman TV segment on the Chinese Type 56.   It’s only 5:37 long and worth your time.

  Oh man, I forgot about this hilarious video of Jeff Gordon pranking a car salesman.  If you need a good laugh, check it out!
• I miss the Romy G AKM Kits – They were a great learning experience, reliable and fun to shoot May 19, 2017
  You know folks, I miss the old Romanian Garda kits.  I literally built about a dozen of them trying different variations on rivets, screws, welding and so forth.  You could get them from $79-119 with the barrel and sometimes even a Tapco G2 fire control group (FCG) included.  Copes, Centerfire, DPH and others had pallets ...
