Lead Lapping A Barrel

First rounds through the new 18″ 1:13 twist Wilson Combat Barreled AR15 in 300 Ham’r. Flawless function, great 50 yard results but a lot more work to do at 100 yards. Hazzbro’s HideReloader, shooter, flintlock builder

Check out this approach to a single-shot hunting rifle, especially if you want to hunt using cast bullets for your reloads. And reload you will, if you use this gun because it’s chambered in .45-120; a cartridge no longer manufactured (although the brass still is). We even managed to get Matthew Quigley to stop by […]

Many of our rifle barrels have significant and stubborn carbon fouling present that does not readily come out in regular cleanings. Borescopes can tell the story. Enter CLR, a common household product used to remove calcium and lime deposits from heavy water buildup. Noted LR shooter, Eric Cortina, swears by it for carbon removal instead […]

This video is basically a repeat of my earlier test on practical accuracy of a braced pistol, but now with a more sophisticated 3D printed brace.

No matter the ammo the first cold bore shot is always WAY OFF. Most would not have invested what I have to try and get this to shoot. Oryx Chassis, Barrel Recrown. It is absolutely true what everyone says. If you do not want to become obsessive about your barrel stay away from a bore […]

This is a quick look at a beautiful Colt 1911 National Match pistol. The man who owns it thinks it is a 1963 National Match Colt 1911 based on the serial number. The top of the slide and the rear sight are different than the examples I can find pictures of on line. It is […]

In this video I install an adjustable rear sight on a beautiful, old, Colt 1911. The procedure I show worked for this particular sight and may be a help to someone with a similar issue and set up. John's Hand LoadingJohn has been shooting since he was a kid and is now a middle aged […]

Needed a tool, couldn't find exactly what I wanted, so a friend and I made it.

In this video I show my gen 3 G19 that started having a very hard trigger. The gun still fires and operates fine, just with a hard “clicky” spot at the end of the trigger pull. It feels like it comes up on a hard stop before firing. It used to be smooth and clean. […]

Finally get to time the barrel and action, chamber and headspace, set headspacing, and install the rear sight collar. Hazzbro’s HideReloader, shooter, flintlock builder

Update

This video shows some of the final cleaning steps for the loose parts of the Winchester model 12 shotgun. The music in the first portion of the video was recorded on my phone while I played around with a looper pedal that also has a generic drum beat playing. This is the “Heavy Metal Version” […]
