What sort of stud are you referring to? Would it be for connecting a sling to?

I repaired the broken link in Mayo's post.

That's a good one for sure. ::)

I frequently use small brushes for applying lubrication to a variety of things and for applying woodworking glue during assembly of my wood projects. Usually, the style of brush that I use could be called an "acid brush" (cheap brush with a rolled sheet metal tube for a handle). They are...

Here is an article from the Wisconsin State Journal that all present or future Wisconsin Concealed Carry License holders will find interesting: Panel extends state concealed carry rules

We have a fairly new Dick's store where I live (2+ years old) and they have always had a very limited selection of firearms and related stuff. Their stock leans heavily toward shotguns with very few rifles and almost no handguns and of course a similar ratio for accessories. There's NOTHING...

I imagine that's worse at times than rush hour on the freeways. At least the folks in the front seats can see ahead and know what's happening. Those of us back in cattlecar just cuss a lot. The waiting is one of several reasons that I don't fly commercial unless forced to. :P

Why #4 instead of 00?

Does anybody want to come to Wisconsin and help me install a new water softener? There are lots of other chores here for the bored folks out there too. ::)

I generally let my tumblers run overnight. The result is amazingly smooth and shiny brass.

Since I would want to carry my Glock 19 - at least for a hotel defense weapon - on a trip, it might well have a problem with magazine capacity limits. I think the group here really needs to find a comprehensive "gotcha" list. It might also be good to do the same thing for other places link...

You can very easily make a good rest for precision shooting. Find or make some heavy cloth bags and fill them most of the way with clean sand or small dried beans before sewing them closed. I use old bags that used to contain 25-lbs of lead shot for shotgun shells. They work quite well with...

I play the part of the gunsmith at our club's annual deer rifle sight-in and I get to deal with a lot of scopes, both good and bad. The way I test the innards of a scope (which is what Den described above) is with a collimater mounted to a spud that is inserted in the barrel. While looking...

Many thanks for that. I was thinking that we should find out what it takes to get a non-resident Illinois FOID card..... In that effort, I discovered that non residents of Illinois don't need a FOID card if transporting a cased and unloaded firearm. This link should be useful to many: Firearm...

I would be really interested in what you find out. I would need to know about the laws applying to transporting firearms while traveling on the I-294 tollway and the I-94 freeway at the southern end of the Chicago area (that's how I get from Wisconsin to Indiana). In addition, I'd want to...

My understanding is that there are places (like Cook County) where pistols must be registered or the owner would be in violation by having it. I'm also concerned about possession of a handgun in a hotel/motel in Illinois.

Dave, it may not seem so, but a very light charge CAN be quite dangerous. If the charge is way too light (and I cannot give you any numbers), it is possible for the charge to detonate (burn instantly) instead of burning over a predictable amount of time. To avoid any chance of detonation...

I see now that the video was for the LC9 and not the LCP. Obviously, I made a mistake with the model involved. I will edit the first post of this thread and move the thread to the 9mm section. Regardless of which pistol is involved, the reduced hammer travel is still a very bad thing in my...

Do you have a link to something that defines the details of the Federal rule you're referring to? I would definitely appreciate that.

If I had Utah and Florida permits, I could go most anywhere I would want to go. However, the real bummer is that I have to go through Illinois to get most anywhere I would want to go outside of Wisconsin (except for points northwest of here). That sucks because just getting caught with a...
