If you can't find the Williams in stock, you might google the Wyoming Sight Pusher. Every review I've seen has been very positive.

Dan's advice is all sound. However, I'd submit that we don't have enough information to give any sound suggestions. All we know is a mk2 VQ trigger has been installed in something. Is the something a mk1/mk2/mk3 or a mk4? What other mods has this pistol had done? The devil is in the details...

Do NOT send it back to Ruger. Their fix is to ream the chamber taper down to the bottom of the chip. This makes the edge of the extractor notch level again, but it increases the unsupported area 360* instead of just a couple. The fix increases the chances of a case rupture 100x. That little...

The simple solution is to get a "dual SPDT" switch and label position 1 as RUN and position 2 as CHARGE. Connect the first switch input to the positive terminal of battery A and the second switch input to the positive terminal of battery B. Connect 1a to the negative terminal of battery B...

Don't chuckle too much. His point about Buffalo Bore ammo is very valid. They have lists of handguns approved for use with their ammo. Lucky for me, Rugers dominate their lists. I saw a picture of a very nice S&W that tried to shoot BB ammo, but it wasn't on the approved list. Poor gun had a...

Well duh! You should have went down to the deep snow and burrowed in. I've slept very comfortably in snow banks with just light dacron bags like kids would use for summer camping trips. The temp in snow caves is above 30* while outside can be well below zero. I was lucky enough to have a good...

Hah! Today you can pay NASA to name a star after you. How many billions of stars are there - just in the Milky Way galaxy alone? There's a sucker born every minute.

Same guy that created the Carolina Reaper pepper. The Pepper X is 3x as hot at 6.9 million Scoville units. An interview asked him if Pepper X was the pinnacle of hotness, and he winked with a "No, it's not".

Looks to me like a typical Ruger Rockwell Hardness test stamp. Location varies a bit depending on model, but it seems pretty common.

That bite looks pretty painful. Kind of like a blister that breaks and then the skin peels off. Anyway, it's kind of tough figuring out how to best position your off hand. I tried a number of different grips and finally settled on one that seemed comfortable. But I always suffered from "cold...

I have that exact heater, and I love it. It really cranks out the heat. 10k btu/hr on low, 20k on medium, and 30k on high. But it does consume oxygen. My recommendation is to use propane to warm the cabin quickly, then turn it off. Use an electric heater with a thermostat to maintain the...

Oh H*ll no. My SBH 44 is my most favorite gun to shoot, but ammo is so expensive that I only take it out a couple of times a year. I usually bring 50 rounds and shoot them all. If the palm of my hand isn't bruised by the time I'm out of ammo, I'm quite disappointed. Of course I shoot all the...

Apparently gold doesn't weigh very much. There's plenty of old westerns where they lift really big bags of gold dust onto the backs of horses or mules and ride out into the desert. Neither the cowboys nor the pack animals seem to struggle very much with the weight.

THAT is the most ridiculous thing I've ever read in my entire life! Just because the particular bears you walked by didn't choose to attack you doesn't mean that you weren't in any danger. I'm done reading any more of your posts.

The Colorado state constitution needs to be modified to ban wildlife management issues from being placed on the general election ballots. Dodo bird city people that know nothing about wildlife have no business setting management policies. The last time this happened, the well meaning morons...
