Lets hear it for Melonite! 50 rounds through my new SA XD-M 10MM Threaded Barrel Can anyone see one single wear mark? Yea, yea, speak to you when I have a 1000 rounds through it. True, but this is the first barrel I have had that shot 50 rounds and didn't develop a single wear mark. Oh, BTW...

Of course it depends on the year, make, model. My last three cars that service reminder varied from 3k to 9k miles, depending on the driving and conditions in between. Typical driving I saw it at 7500 miles +/- 500 miles which the 7500 was what was recommended in the O.M. if you go by the...

First account, makes a great argument that it is Lead Dust you kick up and breath in, get on your skin. I can easily see firing a round with a bullet that has the rear exposed and the lead showing, creating lead dust that gets around. They do make Total Metal Jacket ammunition now, designed for...

I've read the problem is shooting, especially indoor ranges. Even FMJ has the rear of the bullet not jacket and the lead is exposed. I guess lead particles can be shed and spray around as you fire, and get on the shooter. Can't imagine it somehow stays airborne and get breathed in, lead is too...

I'm still an amateur with Cerakote, I was not aware that you can prime a surface then apply cerakote over it. Is there a Cerakote primer? Or do you use a color as primer and do 2 coats, I'm assuming flashing the first prime coat? I used the Elite Series for this, which can't be flashed and...

Rare, which is one of the ways you can serve mankind.......

The highest rate of audits are for those making less than $20k a year. Don't fool yourself into believing one side is lying or one side is telling the truth. Think about what you see from the three letter agencies of the Federal Bureaucracy for the last couple decades, it doesn't matter what...

Is that what you're naming your Cook Book?

You can clean engine parts with fresh clean oil, it will work, but will take more time and effort than something like Kerosene or specific engine parts cleaners. That is pretty much what your doing with CLP using it to clean your firearm, and there is nothing wrong with that, it just take longer...

They said the Patriot Act would never be used to spy on Americans, and 15 years later, it was being used to do exactly that, and by the people complaining it would be used to spy on Americans. While I can't imagine how Martial Law would be justified and accepted by Americans, then I have seen...

This is why the military only authorizes cleaning with CLP. Despite there being so many other products and procedures that could make cleaning quicker and easier. CLP for cleaning works, it just takes longer and a lot more work, but its full proof, no way to screw it up. That's the military...

Its banned for aircraft for exactly that reason. I have never had a problem using it on car engines that have lots of aluminum, but of course I also rinse it off thoroughly with a garden hose, so no simple green remains behind. There are some other degreasers I have used on car engines that...

Yes, too a point, then it starts to get monotonous. One nice thing with modern pistols and modern ammo, cleaning is less critical than it used to be. My FFL/Local Gun Shop owner is a big Glock Fan and says he hasn't cleaned his Glock because he is making it a personal challenge to see how dirty...

That is one thing I have noticed about Cerakote, perhaps because the coating is so thin, the substrate you coat really makes a difference in the color shade. The floor plates did come out darker than I had hoped, and while I'm a little disappointed in the Magazine's color match to the rest of...

I dumped the nutzo wife, so its a bachelor oven. Many Bachelor ovens have seen far worse. :ROFLMAO: True, basic industrial hygiene dictates you'd never put anything toxic in an oven you also cook food in, but the cerakote leaves litterally no mess, residue or fumes behind. For how little I cure...

The end result... ....Cerakote FDE is a more muddy brown than the more Khaki FN FDE, but I'm still happy with the results... While I was at it I did the slide/striker end plate... ...matched better than I thought it would... ...granted most like the contrast of a black end plate, I prefer...

So I got me a FN 510 to go with my SA XD-M Elite OSP 10MM. BTW, since I liked the Sportsman Warehouse exclusive OD Green XD-M 10MM, but can't get one since I am in MD, I cerakoted mine in OD Green, but over the entire pistol, not just the slide... Love the 510's FDE, but can't help to notice...

The US Military issue M7/M9 Shoulder Chest Holster I think was issued in WWII past Vietnam. It looked similar to early military holsters but didn't have a flap cover, just a strap and straps for shoulder carrying. I see it referred to as the Tanker Holster, and of course you see it being worn by...

This was issued to me during the first gulf war. No kidding, to use with the M9 pistol that had just replaced the 1911A1 in the inventory. The leather was just pliable enough to just barely work. After the war, we were told they were being replaced and we could just keep the holsters ourselves...

Is the proof pressure of a barrel close to the pressure of the water at the Titanic? Cause we saw how hybrid metal / carbon fiber worked out in that application..... Carbon Fiber is mature technology in certain applications.... Nothing will beat the reliability and safety of 1 consistent...
