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.

LOL - I remember when I was a 40 year old Elk hunter & hearing about rescues going on for a lost or injured 60 year old hunter. I would say to my self "What the heck is a 60 year old doing out in the woods" ... Well, now that I'm firmly in my mid 60's I make no mention of that anymore...

Here we go again in Washington State ... House Democrat pushes bill requiring liability policy to buy or possess firearms. Time to get vocal & push back ... I waited a few days before posting this giving it some thought. Also see that other states are tying the same; California, Massachusetts...

+2 on Wilson's ... carried them in my 1911 for over 3 decades with never one single solitary malfunction...NONE! They were not babied either but used like any other magazine with 1,000's rounds put through them, speed reloads dropping the mags on the range floor, drill after drill, etc. Clean...

Looks very promising! Also appears that you can unscrew the face plate - maybe it'll have a user serviceable battery if it ever needs replacement. Thanks for the post!

I would have to pull my load data for the exact powder weight, but I hunted with my 30-06 on elk for decades using Nosler's Combined Technology Ballistic Silvertip's in 180gr with around 54.gr's of 760 which in my rifle gave me great accuracy & chrono'd in at about 2700 fps. Personally I did...

I would agree for the most part ... when I am breaking in a barrel I clean it more rigorously than after the break-in to remove all the copper fouling. After that, no. As a matter of fact, when I use to clean very well I would fire a fouling shot so that I do not have to deal with the first...

Not sure what kind you are looking for, but I came across this site a few days back: https://muzzlebrakesandmore.com/muzzle-brakes
