Southern Live oak. Quercus virginiana Starts in Virginia then goes down the coast to Florida then between there and around Texas is changes to another species of liveoak. The common name is dumb because people hear liveoak and think a fresh/green oak of "X" species. It's pretty acidic compared...

I fell down a rabbit hole. In my area for what ever reason I have trouble getting *s-wordake (S-H-I-I-T_a_Ke) mushrooms, and of course it's usually when I want to make something that calls for them. So I decided to google mushroom growing, I thought to myself I have somewhat of a green thumb. What...

I had been looking at the Ruger 5.7 but I honestly had no need for it. I have a Husqvarna 6.5x55 it's basically a Mauser action but there is no parts interchangeability as memory serves. There's a high chance it's sporterized, so it's up to your personal taste. It's a good rifle with a good...

MMM pointy primers.

I'll probably send this one off to get printed in metal, I've undersized the holes and oversized the rest slightly. I may also make the trigger's "Shoe" thicker, it already was thicker than stock but just a little extra reach shouldn't hurt.

Started messing with the guide rod. It went from a simple solid 304 stainless idea to a tungsten powder filled one...... (factory is probably either a low stainless or chromoly and hollow tube. I did the calculations and it would still be within legal weight for Production division and Carry...

Gamer belt is almost complete, still waiting on the holster..... Annoying that i ordered this stuff well over a week after I had ordered the holster. (And the mag pouches were on backorder)

I don't have an Lee single stage. But I do have a RCBS rock chucker two of them actually and they are alright for what they are. Recently (Year or so) I bought a Frankford arsenal M-Press that I keep on my desk and I've really been enjoying it. I wouldn't buy it at it's full price though, I had...

I decided to kick it old-school on the inside. EDIT: if any is wondering, it's jeweling, it's a way to polish out a surface while not changing the overall dimensions to an *extent*. I was taught it when working with revolvers and other older guns from an individual who was at the time the top...

Yeah 😂, I really really hate torx when dealing with smaller and thinner fasteners. Thankfully I ordered a set of Alan Head screws right when I got the pistol. Because I knew that these ones were going to strip out from all the loctite they put on it and lo and behold one did and I had to cut a...

I got the new grips in and it's definitely an improvement as it's palm swelled. The fit on them too was also really really good. They were tight.

I've messed with some of the 2000+ colts for friends and I just can't see the price to quality just like I showed the old gold cup and I can upload photos of older colt basic model 1911 and the finish on the outside was way better. (For the screw clocking if you knew how they were threaded...

I did the action job on the Arex tonight. It's not perfection, as I'd like a crisper break and I know it would require billet parts. But I also feel like 95% of people wouldn't notice and would treat it as amazing. (It needs a oversized trigger, both in external and hole dimensions. The sear...

Modern colt woes lol.

Ahhh the Lawsuit S&W series. I wonder what all they changed in the 2.0, from you mentioning 10lb trigger I can say they didn't change it's biggest complaint lol.
