A traditional quilt is made from three distinct layers, including a decorative top, a lofty batting and a printed or plain backing. To create the dimensional look seen in the finished quilt, the crafter will sew through all three layers, securing them together and creating a decorative finish. A basting gun can be used to hold the three layers together while you quilt. The gun secures the fabrics by inserting small plastic strips; the strips are miniature versions of the pieces used to secure price tags to clothing in clothing stores. Once basted, the quilt can be machine or hand…

Airsoft is a team sport that is growing in popularity across North America. As in paintball, Airsoft participants shoot each other with plastic BBs using high-powered replica guns designed for the purpose. Before game play begins, players load BBs into a detachable magazine, or mag. These can hold from dozens to thousands of BBs, depending on the type of gun and design of the magazine. However, if your Airsoft magazine is broken, you will not be able to shoot, and you will swiftly find yourself out of the game.
In the world of metalworking, the metal inert gas welder is king. This welding system incorporates a wire feeder that pushes a length of welding wire from the main unit through a cable, and out the tip of the hand held gun onto the metal surface being welded. Aluminum wire, for welding aluminum surfaces together, is too pliable to be fed through the system without bending or kinking. It is for this reason that the spool gun was created, incorporating an aluminum wire spool into the gun itself.
Not all Smith & Wesson revolver grips can be adapted to fit Colt revolvers. You first need to find a grip that very nearly matches the existing grip you want to trade out. In addition, you also must utilize the same grip attachment screw, making it more likely to fit the Smith & Wesson grip without having to drill new holes.
Porting refers to adding holes to the barrel of a gun near its end. Doing so helps to reduce the recoil because some of the hot gases that would otherwise cause the gun to propel backwards when fired are able to escape through these holes. Porting also helps to lessen the likelihood of the muzzle to rise when shooting because these escaping gases help to push the gun's barrel down when the trigger is pulled. Because the holes are added near the end of the barrel, porting has essentially no effect on the speed at which shots and slugs exit…
Gunstocks on a rifle can range in appearance from lifeless lumps of plastic and carbon to true works of art crafted from walnut and hickory. A wooden gunstock will almost always have a finish applied to the wood. This both serves as a protection from the elements or the odd bump and bruise as well as a method to increase the aesthetic value of the weapon. Finishes are not eternal, however, and you may occasionally have need to refinish your gunstock to replace an old and damaged finished with a new and lustrous one.
Rust has been a natural enemy of guns since the first one was invented centuries ago. Guns are used in inclement weather, and perspiration transfers from the skin to the metal even through clothing and holsters. Coating a firearm with a thin layer of planned rust that prevents furthering rusting is known as bluing. It can be done safely at a kitchen table or in a home workshop.
Reloading or "hand-loading" shot shells for use in shotguns can be an extremely rewarding and enjoyable pastime. If done properly, it can also mean significant savings over buying factory-made shot shells. A shot shell is a cartridge (usually encased in plastic) that can be loaded into a shotgun for firing. Shot shells are used for a variety of hunting, sporting, military and law enforcement applications. Any cartridge reloading is a precision activity and requires a significant amount of preparation and research to ensure the safety of the shooter. These steps for a progressive shot shell reloading press will help ensure…

Aftermath's Kirenex M4 is a motor-driven automatic-electric gun powered by a rechargeable battery pack. It fires 6 mm plastic BBs at a muzzle velocity of 380 fps. The Kirenex M4 propelling motor has an expected life of 50,000 BBs before replacement is required.
Once upon a time, describing a muzzleloader tool as homemade would have been redundant since every accessory used in shooting used to be homemade. Today, the revival of interest in shooting and hunting with muzzleloaders is accompanied by a revival in that original colonial spirit of self-reliance. Many different muzzleloader tools can be made at home without affecting the safety or reliability of the firearm.
The key to accuracy with hunting rifles depends upon successfully sighting in your scope. Redfield is one of the most popular brands of riflescopes. The design and function of Redfield riflescopes are very similar to any other popular brand of scopes such as Leupold or Bushnell. The body of the scope is mounted atop the rifle barrel and any adjustments to the scope optics are done by turning two small dials located on the top and the side of the scope. Adjusting the optics on Redfield hunting scopes is easy to do and integral to accurate shooting.

Preventing your car from going into a power slide is a difficult skill to master. It involves instantly reacting to the car's movements and being aware of road conditions at all times. It is this driving awareness that is the difficult part to master, constantly watching for ice, snow or even oil slicks on highways during light rain. While power slides during drift competitions can be fun to watch, a power slide on the road while you're not paying attention to driving can quickly turn deadly.
The 740 semi-automatic rifle was not a good seller for Remington when it was introduced in 1955. Within a few years it was pulled off the market, and Remington no longer stocks parts for it. Chambered for deer hunting, the rifle had design flaws that kept it from becoming well-liked. It came with a 5-shot magazine that set into a well just in front of the trigger. The design of the gun made the magazine changes slower than other guns. With a little cleaning and polishing, though, a magazine change can be quicker.
Airsoft makes air and compressed-gas-powered weapons that fire soft foam pellets. These air guns are used for target shooting or war games, much like paintball. Many of Airsoft's products use its "GreenGas" canister, a canister of compressed CO2 gas inserted in the proper valve on the weapon. If you use the Airsoft weapons for simulated war games, always wear eye and safety protection. When installing the CO2 gas, treat the weapon as if it is loaded for your protection.
Airsoft weapons recreate the feeling of real combat with realistic looking plastic weapons that fire pellets. Enthusiasts have come up with many innovations to add more realistic and excitement to their Airsoft matches, such as traps, grenades and rocket launchers. If you wish to flush enemy troops out of their hiding locations, you may want to create a mortar for your next Airsoft match. A pressure powered Airsoft mortar can be made out of commonly available PVC parts, a bicycle inner tube and bike pump.

The Mossberg 600AT shotgun fires 12-gauge rounds and was made specifically for certain stores to sell under their own name. This shotgun, now discontinued, is the same as a Mossberg 500. The 600AT came with a factory "plug" installed in the spring of the magazine to limit the number of shells it can hold to three: two in the magazine and one in the chamber. Some states have regulations that require that a shotgun carry no more than three rounds when hunting waterfowl. With the plug removed the shotgun can hold either five or six shells, depending on length of…
An omni-directional microphone is designed to pickup sound from one direction only. This quality is desirable in certain applications, such as recording and speech broadcast where ambient sound is unwanted. A shotgun microphone is designed to have extreme omni-directional qualities. It is so-called due to the shape of the capsule. The slim shape, angle of the element relative to the capsule and load resistance applied to the capsule all combine to shut out noise from the sides. Making your own shotgun microphone is a rewarding way to save money and acquire a unique, custom piece of sound equipment.

Lowering your weapon hides the gun from view if you plan on making a video of your gameplay. The exact method you use depends on your controller layout option.
Because of intense heat, a "tracer" shell illuminates the path it is traveling. You can duplicate this effect without heat with a replica weapon that shoots pellets (an "airsoft" gun). You will need supplies from a hobby store, as well as tools from around your house. The procedure requires a minimum amount of knowledge of how electricity works.
Polyurethane foam has become one of the most widespread insulation materials in the world. It is actually made of two components, a polyol resin and isocyanate. They are kept separate until use, then sprayed in special guns that mix them as they are sprayed in liquid form. It is only when the two substances meet that the distinctive foaming action occurs. Besides construction insulation, the foam is used in roofing, as a flotation support in various marine application and thermal insulation in some household appliances.
Trap guns are shotguns designed for shooting clay pigeons. The typical American trap gun is a single-barrel or double-barrel 12-gauge model. Trap gun stocks conform to the shooter's shoulder and face in specific ways to influence eye position and aim. This is accomplished chiefly by adjusting the comb, the portion of the stock on which the shooter's cheek rests. Adjustable combs provide both up/down and left/right adjustment. A stock of the correct length with a properly adjusted comb allows the shooter to see straight down the rib of the shotgun. Adjustable combs are standard on many trap guns or may…
Fabric artists use basting guns during quilting to keep the grain of the quilt top and backing aligned. The guns insert special plastic tacks between the fabric, taking the work out of manually basting a quilt. You might want to take the gun apart when you are finished basting and want to store the gun long term. Basting guns have few removable parts and are easy to disassemble in just a few minutes.
Gunsmiths have been around since the initial discovery of gun powder. They design and build firearms. A gunsmith also repairs and cleans guns for themselves and their clients. In the Old West, gunsmithing was a respected profession that the average Joe could get started in with a few tools and a little knowledge of how guns work and are assembled. Many of the gunsmiths from the time period apprenticed under another more experienced gunsmith before going solo. It's still a profession that you can start from your own garage.
Airsoft guns, which fire small soft pellets at a low velocity, are widely used by both serious shooters and those just looking for a fun time. Airsoft guns are often modeled after real firearms, and use similar attachments such as the magazine, which holds ammunition. As with a real firearm, when the pellets in the magazine are used up, a new full magazine replaces it. Carrying the new magazine in a belt pouch is the standard way to have an extra one available.
