DIY Lanolin Pistol Case Lube

By Nathan Darnell Posted on April 23, 2018 Posted in Shooting No Comments

I know what you’re thinking: why would you use case lube on straight wall pistol brass?!?  It doesn’t need it and you’re just making more work for yourself!  To that I say, yes, you are correct.  However, it makes a …

Quick and Easy DIY AR-15 Upper Receiver Vise Block

By Nathan Darnell Posted on May 15, 2017 Posted in Shooting 2 Comments

I needed to install an AR-15 barrel on a new upper and didn’t want to pay $25 for a vise block.  Instead I used some scrap 2x4s and a few screws to make my own.

Making a Reloading Bench for a Hornady Lock-n-Load Press

By Nathan Darnell Posted on January 26, 2017 Posted in Home Projects, Shooting 2 Comments

I first started reloading using an old, rickety workbench.  Although it worked, to keep the press from bouncing around and spilling powder, I had to keep a firm grip on the front of it.  The best solution was to build …

Hornady Lock n Load AP Primer Out Alarm

Magpul SGA Stock on Mossberg 500

By Nathan Darnell Posted on November 6, 2016 Posted in Shooting No Comments

I wanted a relatively cheap shotgun to use for shooting slugs and also doing some skeet, so I purchased a Big 5 model Mossberg 500 on sale for around $300.  This one came with an 18.5″ barrel and a 28″ …

DIY Brass Wet Tumbler

By Nathan Darnell Posted on November 6, 2016 Posted in Shooting No Comments

To save around $100, I tried to make a wet brass tumbler myself.  I might take another stab at a direct drive model in the future, but the belt drive works well enough for now.

Custom Berretta AL-2 Titanium Charging Handle

By Nathan Darnell Posted on September 25, 2016 Posted in Shooting No Comments

I have an older Beretta AL-2 from the 70’s that’s a pretty nice shotgun and even with the plastic buttpad, absorbs the recoil quite well.  I picked it up in a pawn shop for around $400 with no issues other than …
