Why Gun Control Is Important

This allowed the cylinder of the pistol to spin freely while in half cock, enabling the soldier/wielder to easily reload whenever he/she felt necessary. With such numerous advantages over the flintlock pistols , the Colt Revolver essentially revolutionized the way weapons were created and their mechanisms. In the current day, most firearms operate with a magazine which holds the bullets that are to be fired from the weapon. Similarly, in the Colt Revolver, there was a cylinder containing the bullets that were to be shot from the Revolver thereby maximizing the efficiency of weapons.

One of the most important aspects behind a gun is the gun powder. Gun powder is an explosive powder that when ignited sets off a violent reaction. The discovery of gun powder or black powder is very ironic, the Chinese in the early 12th century were trying to make a potion for immortality and they discovered what would be one of the most deaths inductive creations known to man. Gun powder

The materials that are needed to manufacture a gun, or in fact a 12 gauge shotgun, cost around twenty dollars. If we think about that really hard it might scare us and wake us up to the fact it is easy and uncostly to make a gun. Twenty bucks is not that much. Home Depot has all the materials right there in the store to manufacture a gun- all for twenty dollars. Now how easy is that for a criminal to purchase materials to make gun. If someone wanted to build him or herself a machine gun, the cost is around sixty dollars at Home Depot. In fact most electricians or plumbers have the right materials in hand to build a firearm. Most people have no idea how easy it is to build a firearm (Antonio D. Guinn Jr).

In this week’s article summary, the author explains the methods and processes for slow rust bluing. And some of the reasons one might choose this method for the bluing task that then needs to be completed.

Made with top-quality 22-gauge hot-dipped galvanized inner and outer steel that resists abrasion and provides superior durability, as

The first hurdle to overcome for any given material you wish to use as a bullet is: Will this material hold its ' form after and while being fired from a gun? The target location of a gun to determine whether or not a bullet will hold its ' form is the barrel, which is usually made out of iron (Bealer 397). Guns can come in various shapes and sizes, which can, and usually does, determine the speed at which the barrel becomes overheated. The melting point of iron, concise, stable, and never changing is two thousand, seven hundred and sixty-eight degrees Fahrenheit (Babel.hathitrust.org). Because all guns are different and thus have different "breaking points", it 's not possible to track down and note each

Initially, I performed the routine step of checking for no ammunition or obstructions in the chamber. By doing so, I pulled back the charging handle, that dispenses the bullet into the barrel. I then prepared a space to perform the breakdown of the rifle, removing any dirt, or objects that would hinder the process. Beginning the breakdown of the AR-15, I pressed the pin to remove the barrel from the stock. After the separation of stock and barrel, I closely inspected for any lose bolts or pins. When the inspection was clear, cursory cleaning began. Removing the superficial oil and dirt, the inspection for rust and marks began. I started with sanding, wiping clean, and degreasing the spots. If any spots were still in need of attention, I gently scuffed, wiped, and degreased again. After cleaning the area of all tools needed for cleaning, I laid out the supplies and ingredients needed for the bluing

They can give it a fresh new start with their powder coating process, or if it's brand new, they can ensure it lasts a long time without rusting.

The American iconic Ruger 10/22 has been around for approximately 52 years and counting and is still one of the most popular .22 long rifles around. Being around for that long and selling over millions, there must be a reason. In my own perspective it must be reliable, durable, and now they have so many different variations to the 10/22 that you can change anything to fit your personal preference.

I was just wondering if any of you have plated a firearm that we usually wouldn’t see plated due to its intended purpose? I realize that many show pieces are plated for the aesthetics of plating, and from what I’ve seen plating tends to take a real beating on anything else… So I was just curious what you all have seen plated that made you shake your head a

Our required reading this week began with the Author stating that “Maintenance and care are necessary to keep a gun in a reliable and safe operating condition. A gun that is rusty and dirty will not look good, may not operate properly, and may actually be unsafe.” It’s hard for me to imaging someone just letting a firearm just rust away in a moist safe, or the corner of a closet. I’d be lying

Proper gun maintenance is one of the most important aspects of being a good gun owner. Neglecting proper maintenance can cause a gun to become inaccurate, jam, misfire or possibly even cause clogs in the barrel which could end up in a sudden barrel explosion. In order to keep your guns in proper working order every time that you use them and to keep yourself and others safe, it's important to clean your guns after every use. Here are some tips on keeping your guns clean to ensure that they stay accurate and safe.

The materials needed to clean a shotgun is shared throughout the rest of this paragraph, as well as the cleaning process. Moisture displacing lubricant is needed, which is used to prevent damage from salt, friction, and moisture. The lubricant also cleans, protects, and prevents corrosion on the metal. Gun cleaning solvent is required to help clear away the residue of powder, lead, and rust from the gun. The wire-brush is essential to scrub the interior of the barrel to remove or loosen the crud build-up. A microfiber cloth is needed to wipe the exterior of the gun down and to extract the excess debris. The last item required is a cotton cleaning patch, this item is used to wrap around the end of the cleaning rod(wire-brush) and then is used

The history of stainless steel starts way back in 1907 when Harry Brearley was alive. He was the man who really discovered stainless steel.In fact one day Harry was trying to find a way to get rid of rust in a gun barrell and while he was looking he noticed a piece of a steel sample was not rusting because of chrome and alloy which is more resistant. Without delay, on August 20, 1912, stainless steel was seen all over the world, but about a month earlier stainless steel was discovered ("History of Stainless). When stainless steel was invented Harry was looking for resistance to erosion and corrosion , and that’s when he invented “rustless steel” . To make the rustless steel Harry added nickel to the steel alloying the steel to withstand

Engineers went through several material selection and selected 'STEEL' because of its properties as they are
