I'm a gunsmith, ask me anything.

Try Numerich, Heritage and JackFirst. It that fails make them.

I am thinking about applying frog lube [link to froglube.com] to my firearms which gets them away from the oil based cleaning system. To me it makes great sense and I think it is the way to go.

Do you have experience with this product and its long-term use? What advice would you give concerning this product? Do you recommend it? Why or why not?

My mistake.

5.56x45mm.

5.56mm is a limp dock round .. not worth a shit ... 7.62mm is worth the extra weight!

Good thread.

Here's a favorite memory of mine that your thread reminded me of.

Several years ago, our then-4 yr old grandson was riding in the back seat of our vehicle.

We stopped at a red light.

Out of the blue he said "Gun Smith? Why would anyone name their kid 'Gun?!' "

We looked over & saw a giant yellow sign that read "Gunsmith" over a shop.

That's when we realized he could read.

As I thought.

The Rhodesian Scouts used 7.62mm in semi-automatic mode, and won.

The British Army used to use FAL rifles in 7.62mm.

You can, but I'd start with springs.

I like bullpups for CQB/clearing situations. The original SA-80's were junk, I hear now the newer versions have been upgraded and most of the bugs worked out but have no personal experience with one.

Froglube seems to be a decent product, I have an M-4 style AR that is using only Froglube as a test gun. No issues as of yet 8 months in.

Never moor to a limp dock

Tell us how to make a suppressor and how to make an AR full auto??

Agreed, 7.62 is superior to 5.56 in all ways except weight and magazine capacity.

Suppressor: Very carefully.
F/A AR: Very easily.

If despelling pronou cements of pure bullshit with facts is the spiteful act of a little man then guilty as charged, Im cool with thst.
You may be a handy little parts swapper and parts polisher but you dont seem to be knowledgeable about the subject on anything but a sales level but nothing like an armorer having mistaken several basic issues central to firearms design, designation, or feeding.

Not trying to get into a pissing match mate, just here for Q&A. You are entitled to your opinions. Just one question: How many years of professional gunsmithing experience do you have?

How do you make one of those Home Depot part shotguns?

I'm not sure as to what you are referring.

How come when I shoot revolvers I line of the site picture perfectly and hit my target just fine.

But when I use semi-autos if I line up the sight picture perfectly I shoot WAY LOW! Like up to a foot low at 50 feet? It drive me nuts. I always have to compensate by lining front sight up high so the front sight is half over the back sights, but obviously that's not a good thing.

Thanks for any info you can provide on this!

One shot Shot gun you can make from metal tubes at a hardware design. I've had it described, but not thoroughly enough to make one. It's two metal tubes and a nail or something like that.

Do you shoot your revolvers double action or single action?Grip angle and trigger geometry could play a large role in your issue

The Belgians make some kick-ass rifles!

Fabrique National, FTW!

Sounds super sketchy, perhaps buying a low cost shotgun would be a better idea.

Agreed.

I cock them before each shot. So single.
I shoot revolvers just fine.. I usually shoot 22s 38s and big ole 44 revolvers without any issue.

But when I shoot my 45 semi autos, 1 sig 227? my friend's gun and my beretta storm special duty... I shoot both of them low. These are both single action semi autos.

Im fairly strong so recoil isn't an issue.

Can i build a ar15 pistol CA. compliant 7.5-10.5" barrel if i make it myself from 80% lower

An innarestin' question!

very nice!
