I have never heard of Noblie and had to look them up and I have to say that I am underwhelmed by them. My first impression was that they looked like "gas station" knives with cheap laser "engraving" & "scrimshaw" work. The quality of the sheaths offered for a $1,400.00+ knife appeared to be...

Just saw today that Brownells is waiving hazmat shipping fees for primers, powders, etc for a limited time....

What I have been using on my last few scope mounts are precision parallel roll pins (in .001 increments) that I had which I place between the scope rail & the bottom of the scope under the elevation turret which is flat....This ensures a dead parallel mounting of the scope to the rail/receiver...

Good to hear that it's coming back ...I've been looking for RL26 for a few years without success.

I use a GoldenRod dehumidifier. I also use to use several Filtrol Desiccite 25's in the safe but found it unnecessary with the GoldenRod.

Same here ... been doing that exact same thing since I was a kid without any adverse effect on the revolvers ... but then again I do clean my firearms :p

A trick I have done for decades is using a witness mark on my action screws to detect any movement. You can use a silver/gold sharpie or a paint pen. I started doing this after I had accuracy problems because of the screws loosening up without me noticing ... all it takes is a quick glance to...

I have a cheap Harbor Freight that I use for jewelry & such and a Crest benchtop ultrasonic cleaner for cleaning guns, parts & such ... it's also heated which helps greatly. Because it's heated the parts dry very quickly after a water rinse. I tried using it for brass but it was unsatisfactory...

S&W Model 649, a stainless steel version of the Model 49 with a shrouded, but accessible, hammer. 😎

Late to the discussion - Prior to Accubond's I was using Nosler Combined Technology Ballistic Tips exclusively ... I have no issues with Accubond's & have posted several results of my experience here in the forum.... one of my last Accubond post here with pics...

Same here ... for the first few years of retirement it was had to "sleep in" to 0700 ... but I have always been a night owl & have no problem saying up to 0200-0400 & get up when I feel like it. I have run on little sleep for decades.
