I have never owned a bolt gun. I am looking at a Ruger American Predator. Is there a lube requirement or recommendation for a bolt? I'm looking into a 350 "Legend". Winchester didn't do it any favors with the "Legend" moniker, did they? Anyway, that's my question. Thanks in advance for your advice.

L.S. Starrett has a video that is pure camp on its website touting the ability to "stop squeaks". Is it all the website says it is?

I have a new ASR carbine, the barrel is Parkerized. Come to find out it isn't corrosion resistant. What can I use to protect the steel from rusting?

I have a new toy, an Aero Survival Rifle from a company called TNW in Oregon. It's a blow-back operated 10mm carbine. My question is what type of grease would be best to coat the bolt carrier and bolt with. The receiver is aluminum. I've only put 50 rounds through it, but it seems very...

I have a 2-stroke Lawn Boy push mower. The deck has rotted out, but of course, the engine strong. Is it practical to mount the engine to any old deck that has the same bolt circle? The only issue I can see is that the 2-stroke has the exhaust under the engine. Since the LB deck shoots the...

I have a 2-stroke Lawnboy push mower that has a quarter-sized hole right near the right side (from the operator POV) wheel. The hole is in the top side of the deck. My local OPE dealer can't find a replacement deck, because it's a push and not self-propelled. Would an epoxy patch with some sheet...

I have a 2002 Mazda Protege 5 that needs a new transmission. Third gear has grenaded. I'd like opinions on the following questions: 1. I have some automotive skills, and have R&R'd components before, but not a transmission. Is this something that a novice can do with a book for guidance? 2. How...

Does anyone have a recommendation for oil for a 1952 Hudson Hornet? I have been thinking of my "mid-life" crisis car, and this could be it.

Has anyone got experience using MolyDisulfide spray as a repair for lost bluing? Some of the commercial sprays I've seen have up to 67% solids. Does it stick? Does it last?

I am bidding on a Remington Model 8, for a project gun and a fun shooter. What kind of lube would be good for the recoil and buffer springs inside the barrel shroud and the bolt group?

I have an 80's vintage Browning BLR in 358 Win. While cleaning it, at the muzzle I noticed that it had reddish streaks in the grooves. I ran a patch of oil down the bore thinking that if it was rust, the oil would change it's appearance to a dull brown, as it does on older un-plated tools. Nope...

Hi BITOGers! I have a Brave Hiawatha HV-2040 that is slowly leaking the fluid it came with. The Brave website is not helpful as all, and the old user manual they had for download has NO capacities and specifications at all. Can someone tell me with any certainty what hydraulic fluid it came...

I'd like to know if a K31 can be loaded without a stripper clip. Is the magazine removable? Are there replacement mags available and can one pre-load and change like any other mag fed rifle? Thanks for your thoughts.

I have a 358 Winchester. I know, just help me out. I accepted that it's a handloading propostion. I sized some 308 brass, and my GOD, [censored] near to killed me!!!! I'd looked at some YT videos on fire forming, and though is seems easier, I have a few questions. 1. Will any pistol powder do...

I'm looking at a BLR-81 and wanted to know a few things. 1. Are they hard to clean? I have read that you can't disassemble them like a Marlin. 2. Are there any issues after a few hundred rounds? 3. Is it really THAT hard to find a gunsmith to do any necessary work? 4. Are extra mags available...

I have a splitter with an olde B&S 5hp I/C engine with the oil guard. I admit I hadn't run it in since last fall. Kept it under a tarp outside. So, I started it, coated all of the rust with a preservative, and split a piece of wood just to verify all is well. I figured I'd change the oil so I...

I've been trolling the net about this. US cleaners seem to be the bees knees at the XD site. Has anyone tried a revolver in one? My questions about this are: 1. Do you totally take down the gun or just dunk? 2. What liquid do you use? 3. How many times on average do you change the fluid? 4...

Has anyone tried the powder-coated bullets? I have noticed a number of cast lead bullet makers now sell bullets in virtually any color. What load data would you use? Does the coating come off on the barrel?

Since I'm not going to get the Jag or the 'Vette; and I have enough watches for 3 lifetimes, I've been thinking of getting an expensive gun. Not TOO expensive, since I'd poop my pants if I scratched a Korth or a custom 10mm pistol, but I feel a Coonan would fill the bill for me. As you might...

I KNOW I'm not the first or only to stop and ask if there's a source for replacement batteries for my old 12V. Craftsman drills that aren't as expensive as a new tool. Know any? The other thing that really chaps me is that I have a Skil 1/4in. drive battery ratchet that is non-functional. I took...
