Gun Maintenance, Modifications and Special Projects

This video is a re-post. YouTube moved it to limited ads so I had to pull it down, revise and upload again. I picked up this CVA Scout Take Down in .444 Marlin from my local gun store several weeks back. For some reason, CVA has been drilling and tapping all their barrels for a front sight, even though not installing front sights on them, leaving a gapping threaded hole in bare metal at the front of the barrel. I reached out via their customer email interface and they immediately put 2 screws in the mail! I'd still prefer it have not been drilled at all but it beats nothing.... While I had it on the bench, I also checked the equipment rail screws for lock tight and proper torque before mounting my optic.... Always do this guys! lol

I picked up this Taurus 444 Raging Bull, in .44mag, to use in my gel block testing. I got it used from a local gun shop and once I started shooting it, noticed some odd characteristics that were confirmed by bullets I pulled out of the gel block. I immediately emailed Taurus with a description of the issue and ample pictures showing the problem but eventually they told me I had no warranty claim because I used re-loaded ammunition. #taurus #44mag #revolver #magnumrevolvers #reloadingbench #rangetime #kyrangetime #gunsmithing #qualitycontrol Product links....

Cooking in the paint on the barrel a bit!!

This is my 2nd most watched YouTube Video and YT wouldn't fully monetize it. And, no the overspray didn't go on the car. Flat paint dries to a powder with-in 10-12" of being sprayed. You can see the powder on the cardboard. lol
