Roy Huntington, an expert gunsmith, demonstrates how to modify an RCBS powder measure bushing using a lathe for precise cartridge case fit. This guide details the measurement, calculation, and machining steps required to achieve a spill-free powder charging setup, highlighting the importance of precision in reloading.
Expert gunsmith Roy Huntington demonstrates modifying an RCBS powder measure bushing using a lathe. This process involves precise measurements with dial calipers, calculating material removal (e.g., 0.003" per side), and using a lathe's boring tool to achieve a perfect, spill-free fit for specific cartridge cases, enhancing reloading accuracy.
This guide details the field stripping process for a 1911 pistol, presented by Roy Huntington, Publisher of American Handgunner. It covers essential safety checks, step-by-step disassembly, and reassembly, emphasizing techniques to prevent damage. An alternative 'cheat' method for faster disassembly is also demonstrated, along with advice on using specialized tools for tight components.
This video showcases an exceptionally rare find: a first-generation 1873 Colt Single Action Peacemaker, discovered via metal detecting in Arizona. The expert speaker details its museum-quality condition, dating it to 1875, and analyzes the authentic patina and wear, including specific gutta-percha grip details and muzzle wear from holster friction. The firearm's discovery context among homestead ruins adds to its historical narrative.
This guide, presented by Roy Huntington, Editor of American Handgunner Magazine, outlines an efficient '5-minute clean' for modern semi-automatic pistols like the Glock 26/27. It emphasizes that over-cleaning is unnecessary and can cause premature wear. The process focuses on targeted cleaning of critical areas like the barrel and slide rails, with minimal lubrication applied only to high-friction points. Proper function checks after reassembly are also highlighted.
