      Someone with a Lathe?

      My thinking was more on proximity, since he wanted to visit in person. FTW is up in da land of ice and snow for us southern folk.

      I70 - Why So Bad Repair?

      Your face?

      Decent oil for sharpening stone??

      And, to add to the oil discussion, do NOT use any oils with detergent additives, or volatiles. In other words, WD-40, Kroil, Hoppes, etc. are out. They will, same as they do on a firearm, lose the volatiles that keep them liquid, and turn to gum. Gum + metal shavings = asphalt.

      Decent oil for sharpening stone??

      Well, first things first, you have to make sure it isn't a water stone.

      Why Was Hip Shooting Ever a Thing?

      Because it is a large hit area, often immobilizes the individual very quickly due to shock and/or skeletal damage, while venous and arterial damage inside the pelvic cavity--much like the subclavian--is extremely challenging for even the best trauma team to cut fast enough to... Oh...

      Bad batch of .22 Stinger ammo?

      That's no kiddin. I've got a 10/22 that really only likes to feed Minimag WELL. I really need to take the barrel out and, uh, "massage" that chamber.

      Bad batch of .22 Stinger ammo?

      Hardly. Stingers are neat, among the various hyper-velocity .22 LR options, and they are pretty, with their silver casing. But the gold standards are not made in the US. Eley, Lapua, RWS...depending on who you ask. They CAN. The Hammerli 200 series, for example, can be made to function better...

      S&W mod. 52-2 What’s it’s purpose

      That, and for that era S&W stuff, you really need cup-tip punches for any pins, which most guys dispense with, and end up flattening the heads of everything. Looks amateur, because it is amateur.

      S&W mod. 52-2 What’s it’s purpose

      FFS, I thought the Pony 9mm SMG mags were bad... https://www.gunbroker.com/item/1042607475 That being said, if there's no substitute, and no supply, then you really are over the proverbial barrel.

      S&W mod. 52-2 What’s it’s purpose

      No, but I'd sure give one a try. That being said, the special badges and glitter you can get with a 52, I have with the A2. Bullseye is a good time, and I feel confident I COULD learn to do it well, but I'm not "there". Not enough to OWN three specialty pistola. That, and I only load for full...

      S&W mod. 52-2 What’s it’s purpose

      No, the answer for an automatic .38 for centerfire. The .45 was still required. 9mm Berettas are now admissible as well. Some people shot (shoot) a .22 LR, AND a low-recoil centerfire like .32, .38 wad, etc., AND the required .45 stage (where 9mm ball is also now allowed, I think). Those...

      S&W mod. 52-2 What’s it’s purpose

      Good thing you weren't the target audience, and S&W didn't care what you think. The 52 was constructed specifically for WINNING. Bullseye, the sport (with a capital "B"), was an area where few countries in the world could best the United States at that time. Smith & Wesson was one of those at...

      MIROKU JAPANESE WINCHESTERS?

      The Miroku Winchester 52 Sporters would be considered one of the nicest .22 bolt guns ever....it it weren't for the original American ones. :D

      Winchester 52 “Perfection in Design”

      Reloading question

      Jest ponder it: that pistol was originally designed for a 20,000 PSI bang. The bangs you are putting through it--if appearance says anything--are probably over 40,000 PSI. Ruger doesn't know how to build anything WITHOUT overbuilding, but that doesn't mean your slide won't end up in pieces in...
