A Note from the President . . .
Looking forward to
seeing you at GunStock!
All of the instructors, the GCA staff, and I are looking forward to meeting
and spending time with you at GunStock. The time we spend together will
be rewarding in many ways; we’ll feel more connected, and you’ll form connections
with your fellow club members. Share fun and learning experiences and shoot
many styles and stages with different firearms, attend the numerous seminars and
events, share good food and drink with each other and ask probing questions of our
expert staff.
The GCA/AGI instructors and staff are there to answer your questions and help you take
your knowledge and enjoyment of the shooting sports to a new level. We only do this
every other year and, as a serious member, we would like to see you there!
VALUE!
Recently I was in Las Vegas for a security conference and while I was there, I went to a
range where you can shoot machine guns and other “exotic weapons”. It was nice, but
to shoot one of their “Packages”, which consisted of one magazine each through four
guns (only one of which was a machine gun) in about a half hour total, was $140!! Oh
yeah, you also got a t-shirt. In contrast, you will be at GunStock for THREE DAYS! We
have budgeted 500 rounds of Ammo (included in ticket price) for each attendee!
There will be more available for purchase if you wish to extend the experience. We will
have over ten different shooting stages and over two dozen exclusive presentations and
seminars that you can’t get anywhere else. Some meals and drinks are included, along
with the Awards Banquet for all Silver Members! Oh yeah, you also get the GunStock T-
shirt and other goodies. In addition, you will have time to network with members, hang
out with instructors and MORE!!! This is a Real Value. So, make it your summer vacation.
It’s only $297 for Silver and $597 for VIP status (inquire).
Charity
As we’ve mentioned before, our charity this year is the
Pathway Home Program which helps Veterans from the Iraq
and Afghanistan wars who are suffering from PTSD and Traumatic Brain
Injury from IEDs.
This non-profit, non-government funded program has already helped hundreds of
Veterans, but thousands more still need help. The GCA is contributing 10% of all ticket
sales from GunStock and ALL of the money generated by the raffles of firearms and
other prizes to the Pathway Home Program. We are also helping to create awareness
through various other promotions. Do yourself and our Vets a favor by being there. Have
fun and contribute to a good cause all at one time.
Limited Attendance
There is limited space available so we can spend more time with each member. We look
forward to seeing you and we guarantee that you will have a great time!!!
See you at

Program Guide
What’s In This Month’s Issue?
Welcome to the April edition of GunTech. This month includes
a deluge of additional SHOT Show interviews featuring more
guns and goodies than fleas on a hound! But that’s not all,
we also have the “Firearm Evaluation,” “Tips from the
Workbench,” “Ask the Gunsmith,” Jack’s “Tool of the Month”
and your Disassembly/Reassembly Course.
Daniel Defense
Gene visits the Daniel Defense booth
Daniel Defense M4,
at the range and takes a look at the new
V5-300 AAC
in .300 Blackout “300 Blackout” cartridge from Advanced
Armament Corporation which allows you to shoot a .308
caliber round in your Black rifle when you need more
stopping power.
Boyd’s Gunstocks
Jack visits with the rep from
Boyd’s Gunstocks to see what’s
new for 2012. We get a close-up
look at the custom laser
Boyd's Evolution Smart Stock with Laser
Engraved GCA Logo and Flame Texturing
on Pistol Grip & Forend
engraving they do for
GCA members and more
on some of their most
popular designs.
Brownells CQB T-Dot Red
Brownells
Dot Sight by EOTech
We spend a few minutes with CEO Pete
Brownell who shows us three innovative
products they are introducing for 2012.
This includes a reflex sight with a special
type of reticle, a tactical flashlight with
all the necessary features and a lifetime
warranty, and a
super-lightweight rest for
bench-rest shooters.
Sinclair 3rd Generation MAGPUL
F Class Bipod
Next stop for Gene is
the MAGPUL booth where we get a close look at their
new furniture for the Remington 870. You'll be amazed at the
adjustable butt-stock. It has all the features of stocks costing
three times as much and we’ll be getting one for review as
soon as their production catches up with their orders.
Tips from the Workbench
This month Ken takes a vacation and Darrell steps in with a
workbench tip. Next to the lathe, where does Darrell spend
most of his time? If you guessed the vertical mill you’d be
right! Since he spends so much time there it’s no surprise he
comes up with so many good ideas. This tip makes using the
mill vise much easier for those tapered parts.
Grupo Bumar
While we were walking around, something caught Gene’s
eye. It’s not just another AK, this one is the model built for the
Polish military by Grupo Bumar. It has several unique features
and changes that actually improve the original AK design. Yes
you heard me right, check out the interview. That’s not all,
they also have .22rf versions that are pretty darn awesome!
NYLOK
They’ve been making their
special self-locking,
reusable bolts and nuts for
40 years and we check out
the new gunsmith kit they
are introducing. Just as
good as the
liquid locking media but its reusable for those
screws you remove more frequently.
Air Venturi
Air Venturi had their booth right next to the
AGI booth this year so we slid over to find out more about the
burgeoning world of air-powered rifles. We get to see some
great examples of pump-style, spring-powered guns and
pneumatic guns as well as the new pre-charged pneumatic
guns. One of these is a .50 caliber model that can be used for
game as large as deer!
Ask the Gunsmith
This month there is a running theme in “Ask the Gunsmith,”
triggers. The first question is regarding the trigger on a S&W
640 DAO pistol. The second question involves the trigger on
a Ruger Speed-Six and the third question concerns eliminating
the creep on a Weatherby Vanguard. Also, one member is
conducting a comparison test between Break-Free, Slip 2000
and TWD 25B. See what Bob has to say. I’ll bet some of you
can guess ahead of time!
Dave Manson Reamers
We all know reamers are a precision device. We also know
that long-range and bench-rest shooters are pretty darn
interested in precision. Dave Manson is known for his top
quality headspace gauges and this year they introduce a
more affordable line of gauges that don’t sacrifice precision
and still cost less.

Jack’s
Corner
by Jack Landis
AGI Technical Services Manager
and GCA Connection Editor
THIS IS NOT AN AD!!!
It is some very good advice on how to: get training that you
and yours will remember your entire life, dramatically improve
your shooting skills, and save a bunch of money. The
“Bookend” classes on the Thursday before and the Monday
after GunStock are the greatest Shooting/Gunsmithing values
you will ever have the opportunity to enjoy. You'll have more
than full day of World Class instruction by nationally
renowned experts in their fields, who are fairly unique in that
they are also extraordinarily effective instructors in their fields
of expertise. Let’s take a look at the classes . . .
Darrell Holland's Long Range Shooting School
Thursday & Monday
Darrell is not only a highly respected long range hunter, but
he can teach you to be if you work and apply yourself to the
lessons that you learn here. Think you’re already pretty good?
Darrell can reliably make 1st shot kills at 600+ yards in the
wind, can you say the same? More importantly, can you DO
the same? Darrell crams in almost as much as he teaches in
multiple day courses at his home range in Oregon and around
the country, for hundreds of dollars less. This course will
change the way you hunt and shoot forever.
Babes with Bullets with Instructor Lisa Munson
Thursday & Monday
This class is designed for the ladies ONLY! Whether your
mother, daughter or significant other has never picked up a
gun before or is a ranked competitor, multiple time National
Champion shooter Lisa Munson will raise her abilities several
levels. These courses are taught BY women FOR women.
They instruct in a low stress, non-confrontational style that is
unbelievably effective. Thousands of women have taken the
3-day courses and their reactions are uniformly; “Wow! This is
FUN!!” If you’d like to have the ladies in your life TELLING you
they want to go shooting instead of you having to beg or
sneak out, do yourself (and her) a favor and sign her up.
Gene Shuey Glock and 1911 Building Classes
Thursday & Monday
Not much I can say here that you don’t already know. Last
year the classes were filled past capacity and the attendees
are begging for more. Classes are almost full, so get with it
now if you want to graduate from the level of the Great
Unwashed to Shuey Initiates.
Joe Alesia (Lefty Longridge)
Cowboy and Modern Pistol Shooting School
Thursday & Monday
Multiple time World Champion Joe Alesia is not only a sought
after molder of male and female champions, he is an unbelievably
effective instructor for novice and first time shooters
of all ages and sexes. His relaxed and friendly style makes it
easy to learn and perform without a lot of stress and angst.
This is not to say that he cannot induce the stress of competition
if you are at the level of a ranked competitor, but your
daughter, wife or young son will not be frozen with anxiety. In
Thursday’s Cowboy class you will learn the single action
revolver, lever carbine, ’97 Winchester and Side x side shotguns.
You’ll learn how to plan your moves from target to target,
operate your guns with speed and accuracy, and how to
move and shoot. Guns, ammo, and leather are provided. You
may bring your own gear and guns if you wish. Oh yeah, and
you’ll have a heck of a great time making that steel ring.
Monday’s Modern Pistol class will do essentially the same
thing, except with . . . wait for it . . . modern pistols! Bring your
own auto pistols or revolvers and holsters. We will have some
available if you need them. If you want your sons, wives, or
daughters to learn to handle guns, move and shoot with confidence
with a house gun or concealed gun, this class is for
them as well. All levels of skill are welcomed and will gain
greatly increased competence and confidence. If you send
your ladies to Babes with Bullets, don’t waste your time in the
lounge, go with Joe!
Gene Kelly/Mark Foster Tactical AR Classes
Thursday & Monday
Our Supreme Leader and Exhalted El Presidente of GCA and
AGI, Gene Kelly and his long time sidekick and Paragon of
Napa Law Enforcement, Mark Foster, will be teaching you
how to handle yourself (and any possible adversaries) with
the AR platform rifle/carbine. Learn to identify the threat,
assess their relative severity, plan your defense, move and
shoot. Gene has trained with many top agencies and trainers
over the years and Mark is THE Armorer/Tactical instructor in
Napa. For you LEA guys, learn to set up a department armory.
Besides learning extremely valuable and potentially life saving
lessons, you’ll have so much fun it should be illegal!
Then they asked me . . .
One of the most frequently asked questions that I get is, “What
size and type of mill and lathe should I get, now that I’ve ordered
the machine shop course from AGI?” OK, here goes . . .
Having learned to use the lathe and mill at Adult School, and
then at Lassen College during the summer NRA classes, I can
tell you that I REALLY wished I'd seen Darrell's course first.
Darrell is an excellent instructor and you will learn what you
need to buy to get the job done. The way to do it, is to watch
the lathe and mill portions first, THEN buy your lathe and mill.
Continue on page 5

Jack's Corner Continued . . .
Used is good. If you pay attention, you will get way more for
your money. Then do the course and cut as you watch. You will
find that you will be re-watching it several times as you go.
That being said, to answer your question, I have used a 9x42
Bridgeport with a 2hp motor, and what was a new (when I
bought it) Chinese geared head 12x36 bench lathe. 12x36, or
10x30, is big enough to do anything a gunsmith needs to do.
The Enco and Jet mills are fine as are the Laguns. A 42" table
is plenty, 8 to 12 speed is fine and you don’t have to spend the
money for a variable speed. Spend it on DRO’s (Digital
Readouts, 2 axis is plenty) and a power table feed.
Darrell uses a belt driven 10x30 South Bend bench lathe in
the course. He says, as do most belt drive devotees, that they
provide a superior surface finish. Belt drive . . . Gear drive . . .
you say toMAYto, I say toMAHto, I like redheads and he likes
brunettes . . .
For lathes, the first class used machines would also include
Clausings, Jets, and Republics, among others. The $2000
Chinese bench lathe I have has worked just fine for me. It
costs more now and appears to be the same one Enco,
Grizzly, Rutland Tool (now MSC), etc. are still selling 15 years
later. Same lathe, different paint, different prices. I like the
short distance through the headstock since I like to chamber
and crown in the headstock. I can do barrels as short as 17"
this way. Way shorter if you make a spindle bore diameter
piece of aluminum about
14” long with a 60º
counterbore in the chuck
end, about an inch in
diameter. Use the
counterbored end to
center and support the
end not in the chuck and
keep it from sliding out by
tightening the spider
screws down on it.
Grizzly flavor of the
12x36 Chinese Bench
Lathe sold by multiple retailers
These lathes work fine if you are the only one who uses them.
If they are used by a bunch of people in a shop or class (who
didn’t pay for it) they will not last. I DO wish I’d spent the
extra $800 and gotten the floor model. I miss the magnetic
foot brake and the coolant pump. The coolant can be set up
with a muzzle end fixture to flow through the barrel and out
the breech end while chambering, thus decreasing the
amount of time it takes to do the job dramatically.
See the course first, then buy your ‘chines. That’s my strongly
held (and fairly informed) opinion. ‘Til next month, break
some new ground ‘smithing and shooting, and please introduce
someone new to each.

Program Guide Continued . . .
Dave shows us his new line of “Gritter’s Gauges” and tells us
not only what they are used for but how they got their name.
Dave finishes up with his new cartridge comparator which
measures headspace dimensions by comparing
cartridges, helping precision shooters maintain maximum
consistency in their reloads.
Chiappa Arms
Gene makes a quick pit-stop
at the Chiappa booth to check out their .22 caliber M1
carbine that is such an accurate replica it even takes original
M1 carbine hardware. He also looks at a lever action shotgun
that looks like the one Arnold used in “The Terminator.”
Tool of the Month
You all know that Jack loves a good tool but sometimes there
are problems that no one has made a tool to solve yet. This
month Jack shows how to make a tool that will keep you from
getting carpel tunnel and save time when you’re working at
your lathe.
FNH-USA FNP-40, .40 S&W Pistol
Firearm Evaluation
This month’s evaluation gun is FN’s FNP-40
pistol. All of our reviewers liked this gun at first
glance. The question at the bench is, after looking
deeper, did the gun lose its appeal with Bob and Ken? The
question at the range is, did the love affair continue for Gene,
Keith, Jack and Lenée? Check it out and see for yourself.
Savage Arms
Before we
wrap things up for this
month, Gene stops in at Savage to look at
two new rifles. The first is Savage’s entry into the youth rifle
market. This gun has a wide array of detailed features that
other youth rifles lack that will make your child a better and
safer shooter. The second gun is a bolt-action, sniper-style
rifle in .308 Winchester with a ten-round, hi-capacity magazine.
The rifle is also “suppressor-ready”.
Chiappa's .357 magnum “Rhino” revolver
Disassembly/Reassembly Course
You’ve seen it reviewed, you’ve seen it
explained and you’ve seen it tested, but you’ve never
seen it like this! This month Ken completely disassembles
the revolutionary Rhino revolver with its myriad of parts
and then . . . he puts it back together again!
Not to worry though, since Ken is guiding you through every
step of the process he makes so easy to follow, you’ll be able
to do it in your sleep! While you enjoy this magical
mystery tour of the Rhino we’ll be working on next month’s
issue . . . of GunTech. ◆

The Liberator Pistol
By Robert Dunn
AGI/GCA Video Producer,
AGI Pro Course Graduate, GCA Charter Member
are between $2,000 and $5,000 depending on the condition
and what other accessories still accompany the gun. For
instance, a top dollar Liberator can be purchased with its
original paraffin coated box, the wooden dowel for unloading
and an instruction sheet (the originals are watermarked).
I love firearms that have a rich history or a good story behind
them. The Liberator pistol sure meets those qualifications!
These one-shot pistols were produced during WWII and were
dropped in mass quantities into occupied/enemy territory.
The idea was that resistance fighters and civilians (who were
disarmed) could use them to put one well placed shot into the
dome of an enemy soldier. The soldier's weapons could then
be "liberated."
This type of concealable insurgent weapon was used to good
effect against the Axis forces both tactically and psychologically.
With this concept in mind, it is no wonder that the
pistol's conception came by way of the US Army Joint
Psychological Committee.
The Liberator was designed by the Inland Guide Lamp
Manufacturing division of General Motors in 1942, and was
designated the FP-45 (Flare Projector Caliber .45). The reason
for calling it a Flare Projector was to mask the true intention
of this ominous little firearm while it was being manufactured.
With such cunning part names as the yoke (the trigger), the
control rod (the firing pin), and the tube (the barrel) special
agents and spies were baffled when these guns didn't fire a
flare but packed the punch of the .45 ACP cartridge. Just
three hundred workers from a manufacturing plant in
Anderson, Indiana cranked out over a million of these pistols
in a mere six months!
Though some of these guns were used in France, most of the
pistols were used by the Chinese and sent to the Philippines.
The original Liberators can still be found online and the prices

It is not recommended that you fire one of these olds guns.
For one thing it is a historical relic and there simply aren't that
many of these veterans around. Another reason is that the
chamber is of a conical design, which is not well suited for
the pressures of the .45 ACP round.
Many of the original
guns have excessive
headspace as well.
You never know how
many rounds have been fired out of one of these guns. There
were an unknown number of test shots fired at the factory as
well as the shots fired by previous owners. If you add up all of
the above factors, it's best to let these old guys rest and be
appreciated for the time they have already served. If you really
want to fire an FP-45, buy a replica from Vintage Ordnance
Company. http://www.vintageordnance.com

A lot of folks hear about annealing brass cartridges cases,
and just assume it must be something that’s hard to do. Once
you understand what annealing is, why it’s done, and what
tools you need to do it, annealing is actually a fairly simple
process.
What is annealing?
Annealing means heat treating the neck and shoulder of a
brass cartridge case to make it softer so it will seal the
chamber during firing. Unlike steel, brass gets softer as you
heat treat it, not harder. What makes brass cartridges become
harder is firing the cases in your gun, and then cold-working
them in your reloading dies. Both those operations will cause
brass to harden, which leads to splits and cracks in the necks
and shoulders of your cases.
Why do we anneal brass?
One reason to anneal your brass is to extend its life, so you
can reload it more times. One of the first signs that it’s time
to anneal is splitting at the case mouth, or cracks in the neck
or shoulders of your brass. Another thing to look out for is if
it suddenly takes more pressure, or less pressure, to seat
bullets into the cases than it used to.
Once symptoms like these appear, many shooters think the
brass is no longer usable and discard it. But as long as the
primer pockets are still tight, these cartridge cases are still
useable – if you anneal them properly.
Another reason to anneal brass cases is if you are reforming
them from a larger case to a smaller case, such as in making
wildcat cartridges. When you set the shoulder back on the
case, the neck walls will thicken from the shoulder’s extra
brass, which will harden up as you work it into the new
configuration. This area of the worked brass needs to be
annealed so that when it is fire formed, it will seal the
chamber and properly form out to the new configuration.
No matter why you anneal your cases, the key to proper
annealing is to not overheat the cases. When you use a flame
to heat the neck and shoulder, make sure that you do not
bring the brass to a bright, glowing red color. If the brass
reaches a bright, glowing red, you have most likely overheated
the case, and it will be unsafe to fire, even if you quickly
quench it with water.

The Not-So-Arcane
Art of Brass
Annealing
By Bob Blaine
Sinclair Loading Technician
Reprinted by permission of Sinclair International
How was case annealing traditionally done?
Many of us familiar with annealing were taught to fill the
brass cases halfway with water, and then place them into a
pan of water deep enough for the water level to reach halfway
up the outside of the case. The water inside and outside the
case acts as a heat sink to protect the base of the case from
overheating.
An annealing trick that my father showed me, when I was at
the tender age of 10, was to work in a fairly dark area. As I
heated the cases, they would start to glow with just enough
color that I could just barely see it in the darkened room.
Once the case heated up enough for this barely-glowing
color to spread evenly around the neck and shoulder, I would
tip it over with the torch head so the brass would quench in
the water it was standing in. This process left the neck and
shoulder of the case softer than the middle and
lower portions of the case.
How is modern annealing different?
Today we have better ways of
annealing that are far more consistent
than the old-fashioned
method that I have just
described. One of the best
ways is to use the Hornady
Annealing System, which
we sell as item #041220
and is shown here.
This kit comes with three
different size case holders that will allow you to spin the case
with your cordless screwdriver while it is in the flame for very
uniform heating of the neck and shoulder area.
Keep the case pointed mouth up and confine your propane
torch flame to the shoulder area. The heat will rise into the
neck on its own without overheating it. The Hornady
Annealing System also includes a bottle of heat-sensitive
paint called Tempilaq. This paint is designed to change color
when heated to 475° F (246° C).
We usually recommend applying the paint to the inside of the
case mouth because the flame will ablate the paint from the
outside of the case as it heats. You will be able to see the
paint inside the case mouth change color as the brass case
rotates, and when this occurs, you will want to let the case fall
out of the holder into a pail of cool water to quench.
Please keep in mind that you can vary how hot the brass gets
by using different Tempilaq formulas that change colors at
different temperatures. If you need different Tempilaqs for different
temperatures, Brownells sells several versions of it.
There are other types of modern annealing tools, such as ring
type annealers that rotate at a set RPM as they move the
Continue on page 9

Art of Brass Annealing Continued . . . The Liberator Pistol Continued . . .
brass cases through a flame. With these ring-type annealers,
the brass will usually be allowed to fall though the bottom of
the ring into a container of water at the end of the cycle.
No matter what method you use to anneal your brass, the
most important thing to remember is not to overheat the
middle and base of the case. Overheating the case makes it
unsafe to use.
What else do I need to know?
After a case has been properly heated and then quenched, it
is then ready for the balance of the reloading operations. Here
is a quick tech tip for those of you wondering what properly
annealed brass should look like when it’s done. Just take a
look at a new piece of Lapua brass, if it’s available to you.
Lapua always leaves the annealing color on the case so that
the reloader can see that the case has been properly
annealed. A lot of the other manufacturers will polish this
annealing color off to make their brass nice and shiny, but
Lapua leaves it on their cases.
I have always wanted to see one of
these guns, and in my fevered dreams,
actually fire one! Well, one of the benefits
of going to the gun range with
Bob Dunlap is getting to shoot some
really interesting guns! Bob had just
received his FP-45 from Vintage
Ordnance and he had not fired it yet.
My eyes were popping out of my head
when Bob pulled out a Liberator and
asked me if I wanted to fire it! Bob
actually let me fire it first! (Probably
not sure if it was safe to shoot! - Ed)
The recoil was not as stout as I
thought it would be, although I wouldn't
want to shoot very many rounds successively. Of course
this pistol was designed for a specific purpose. It was made
to be shot a few times to procure some better firearms and it
could be cheaply and rapidly manufactured.
As you can see, the annealing process can be quite simple,
especially with the proper tools like the Hornady Annealing
Kit. The paybacks of extended case life, and the ability to
reform cases into different dimensions, more than make up
for the initial setup cost of what I consider to be an important
tool for precision reloading.
As always, if you have any additional questions, please do not
hesitate to call any of us on the Tech Staff here at Sinclair.

Editor's Note:
Many years ago before these handy Sinclair electric screw
driver tools came along (primarily since there were no electric
screwdrivers commonly available yet), I modified one of those
old portable cassette tape players. You remember them -
about the size of a shoe box if someone had sat on it?
I took the lift-up tape cover off, took the drive spool out of a
cassette and glued a 2" diameter by 1/4" thick wooden disk
on top. Then I drilled a hole in the top center big enough to
snugly hold the bottom snap-in portion of a loading press
shell holder of the proper diameter for the case I was
annealing. I set the whole thing down on the player's drive
spindle and pressed the play button. Voila!
Cartridge rotated slowly and after one turn I tapped it with the
propane torch tip into a cake pan full of water. Worked like a
champ and I have to admit I still use it. ◆
The Liberator was
originally sent out
with 10 rounds of
ammo that could
be stored in the
grip area of the
pistol. However, if
stealth is your
goal, those rounds
rattling around in
the steel grip is
like a belled cat trying catch a mouse. If you have less than
ten rounds in the grip, technically, a primer could be touched
off under the recoil of this light pistol.
The Vintage Ordnance FP-45 differs from the original guns in
some good ways! The replica has a rifled barrel and the originals
were smooth bore. Chamber tolerances are tighter and
headspace issues have been resolved in the barrel. The
greater strength of the new pistol is achieved by using 1050
medium carbon cold rolled steel for the barrel, tube strap
(breech ring), cover slide (breech block), and a denser Zinc
alloy for the cocking piece.
The Liberator pistol has such an interesting history. It was a
"purpose built"
weapon that could
be made quickly and
easily, an almost
disposable weapon.
Maybe that is why
so few of the
originals still exist.
What a shame!

Producer’s
Cut
by Keith Hezmalhalch
AGI/GCA Executive
Video Producer and
New Age Sage
It’s here! It’s here!
Yes, April is here, Spring flowers
are here, Easter is here, tax time is here, Spring fever is here,
daylight savings time is here (for most of us); campaigning is
here, Spring weather is here, Spring break is here, Spring
training is here and Spring cleaning is here. All these things
are indeed here, but they are not what I am referring to . . .
Happy Birthday . . .
With the April issue, we celebrate the completion of SIX
YEARS (72 issues) of GunTech! Some of you have actually
been with us from the very beginning, even before the GCA!
I believe congratulations are in order for not only each member
of our production team and writing staff, but also for each
of YOU, we are all part of the GunTech family.
One, two, three, go . . .
Spring is a time for launching. Perhaps you are thinking of
venturing into your yard or garden for the first time since
winter set in, or you’re considering something a bit more
involved such as a weekend getaway or family vacation. You
may even be thinking about something major such as a home
remodel, a new car purchase or even a new career. No
matter what it is, each of us is thinking of something to
launch into that we didn’t consider doing during the winter.
I’ll need a map! . . .
Whatever we are considering, before we make the choice of
what to launch into and before we lay the plans, we have usually
spent some time reflecting on where we are and where
we’ve been. Sometimes the reflection is short and sweet and
other times we may have even spent the entire winter contemplating
our situation.
In either case this usually puts us in a very serious frame of
mind where we are counting the cost and considering the
alternatives. Sometimes that may be as far as we get because
we realize that things are not yet right for beginning a new
chapter and we are dismayed. I just want to remind you,
before you lose yourself in the weighty details, to take a
moment to reflect on all the positives in your life.
Let’s talk turkey . . .
We often relegate that job to around Thanksgiving or perhaps
Christmas, but as the snow is melting, the temperatures are
warming and the flowers and trees are blooming, take a
moment to count your blessings. As I pointed out last year;
even when times are tight financially or we have just suffered
a loss, we in the United States of America are blessed with so
much that the rest of the world does not have. Look around
you and truly celebrate all that you have.
It’s not about the stuff . . .
It’s about the relationships. Those are the most important
thing in life. Yes, sometimes our stuff helps us through things.
Darrell has shown us time and again in “Tips for the
Woodsman” that if we have the right “stuff” we can survive.
But it is the relationships with others that DRIVE us forward
and fuel us to continue.
No person is an island . . .
As individuals we often seek to acquire whatever it takes to
be able to stand alone, I know that I pride myself in being a
Renaissance man each time I acquire a new skill or ability.
But, it is when I truly need someone else’s help and they are
there for me that I am most happy. Our loved ones, children,
family and close friends are who we live FOR. Even for those
of us who love nothing better than being left alone to fish,
hunt, or work on the car, just think of how unfulfilled you
would feel if you couldn’t go tell your spouse or friends ALL
about it (usually ad nauseum) after you return, LOL!
All “shot out” . . .
Even though Jack and I LOVE shooting guns, the enjoyment
assumes a higher level when we do it together. We recently
field-tested four new long guns, two .22s and two shotguns.
Do we work seamlessly all day without irritation while filming?
(You SERIOUSLY want me to say that again all the way
from the beginning AGAIN, WHY??? – Ed.) Of course not! But
neither of us would enjoy it NEARLY as much if we weren’t
sharing those unexpected frustrations and moments of “did
you SEE that!!??” with someone else. Needless to say, when
we are field testing guns the one thing we CAN count on is
that there will be unexpected events!
Join the fun . . .
Alright, I’ve spent some time on personal reflection and I am
quite sincere about it but there is an additional upside. If you
are in need of some new friends who truly “get” you or you
just want to take your enjoyment of all things gun-related to
a new level, then you should begin making plans right now to
attend GunStock in June. This is going to be the biggest and
best GCA party yet!
Continue on page 11

Producer's Cut Continued . . .
Let’s see . . .
There's going to be SO much going on this year! If you want
to shoot, we will have guns, guns and more guns, we will even
be asking GCA members to help us do our range evaluations
on some new firearms. Gene will have his machine guns there
and a cohort of his will have some of his there as well. We are
in discussions with several manufacturers to be there to
showcase and demo their products. There will be live music,
good food, seminars on both the technical and business side
of gunsmithing, lots of time to hobnob with all the AGI
instructors and . . .
The best part? . . .
You will be amazed at the men and women you will meet who
are your fellow GCA members. Year after year the wives of
many members arrived knowing they were simply indulging
their husband’s hobby only to be amazed and impressed at
the quality of the people they met and the relationships they
formed. Not to mention the fun THEY had shooting machine
guns ;-) Several of them that I spoke with said it was the
BEST vacation they had ever taken! Of course all the
members were excited over the new connections they made
with others and the resources they developed through those
connections. Believe me, networking in person with members
from all over the country will uncover some great resources in
parts, supplies and talented skills!
So come one, come all . . .
Even if this is the only vacation you will be able to take all
year, it will be worth it. NO ONE throws a party quite like GCA
president Gene Kelly. It is his goal for each attendee to have
the time of their life. In this time when our freedoms are being
eroded, come together to celebrate and learn with those who
truly feel the way YOU do!
Oh yeah, but you . . .
No, I don’t get any personal gain from promoting the event. I
just know from the folks I’ve met at previous GCA events that
you will be GLAD you were there. So, I encourage you to
strongly consider coming to GunStock if is at all possible.
Now is the time to get registered while space is still available!
After all . . .
GunStock is also for a good cause. The proceeds from ALL
the raffles and a portion of the ticket sales are going to the
Pathway Home Program. What is that? The Pathway Home is
a small non-profit that offers services to those suffering from
PTSD and Traumatic Brain Injuries and so far they have saved
the lives of over 300 veterans. But, since they don’t receive
ANY government funding, they need our help to keep performing
their mission to save lives. There have been more ser-
vicemen and women who have lost their life from suicide after
returning than died in battle. Astounding isn’t it! That is why
AGI and the Gun Club of America have chosen to donate
funds from GunStock to assist them. So, come to GunStock if
you can and be a part of a firearms-enthusiast celebration
AND help make a difference in the lives of the men and
women who have sacrificed everything to protect our freedoms.
One final whiff . . .
In the meantime, may the Spring season warm your heart,
invigorate your soul, ignite your passions and fuel your plans,
and I’ll see you next month . . . in GunTech! ◆
Coming Next Month
May is coming soon and with it comes parades, celebrations
and . . . another exciting issue of GunTech! Here’s a sneak
peak at some of what is coming your way in May.
Gene visits his fellow classmate and
friend James Tucker at Jeffries and Jeffries to
find out what goes into making a custom double
gun. Bob goes “In the Classroom” to show you the
amazing features of the Nagant Revolver.
We conduct a complete bench and field evaluation on a
new semi-auto shotgun from CZ, the 912 Semi auto.
Bob answers more
of your gunsmithing
questions and we have a few special
segments from this year’s SHOT
The
venerable Show. Gene goes into his gun locker and
UZI 9mm
Sub Machinegun pulls out some Uzi sub-machine guns-stay
tuned for design history, field-stripping and
techniques for deployment used by the ISDS in the field.
That’s not all. We have our
regular features plus your
complete Disassembly/
Reassembly Course on the
Remington 81 rifle which is as
Ken put it: “A cool old gun!”
Buy some sun block, grab
your board shorts and get
ready to ride the wave from
April right into the May issue
. . . of GunTech! ◆ 11

The Forgotten
Sweet 16 Gauge
By Chuck Hawks
Guns and Shooting Online
The 16 gauge has
a nominal bore diameter of .662 inch. This
places it neatly between the very popular 20 gauge, and
the top selling 12 gauge. A 16 gauge gun is trimmer than a 12
gauge, kicks less, and does pretty much the same job unless
steel shot is required. But, for whatever reason, the 16 gauge
is becoming the forgotten gauge.
It was very popular through the first half of the 20th Century,
and was not forced out of second place in sales by the 20
gauge until the third quarter of that Century. But, since then
it has steadily declined in popularity. This is a shame, because
the 16 is a very versatile gauge, and handles 1 ounce of shot
about as well as a 12 gauge.
The 16 has always been seen as an upland gun in the US,
although in Europe it was favored as an all-around gun. This
latter view makes pretty good sense as the 16 patterns very
well with 1 or 1 1/8 ounces of shot, which makes an ideal
upland game gun, and was available with 1 1/4 ounce of shot
in 2 3/4 inch Magnum shells for gunning waterfowl. This, of
course, was before the advent of the US government's prohibition
of lead shot for waterfowl.
The 1 and 1 1/8 ounce lead shot loads are still available for
upland game, and Federal still offers the 1 1/4 ounce lead
shot Magnum shells, which make fine pheasant loads. There
has never been a 3 inch Magnum 16 gauge shell, although
these are common for the 12 and 20 gauges. This disparity
allows the 3" 20 gauge shell to carry the same payload as the
2 3/4 inch 16 gauge Magnum shell.
Another drawback is the lack of a 16 gauge class in the clay
target sports. In US trap and skeet shooting the 16 is lumped
in with the 12 gauge, while the 20 gauge has its own class in
skeet shooting. It is hard to under estimate the importance of
this in the scheme of things. The 28 gauge was kept alive for
years simply because it is legal for small bore skeet shooting.
So, with no 3 inch shell to make it an all-around gauge in the
US, and no interest from clay target shooters, the Sweet 16
has had to make it strictly as an upland game gun.
Federal and Remington offer 16 gauge steel shot loads with
15/16 ounce of shot at a muzzle velocity (MV) of 1300 fps.
These can be had with steel shot sizes 2 and 4 only, and are
mainly useful for shooting ducks over decoys.
Federal also offers a 16 gauge 2 3/4 inch Magnum shell with
1 1/4 ounces of lead shot at a MV of 1260 fps. Shot sizes are
4 and 6. As mentioned above, these make good late season
pheasant loads.
Federal, Remington, and Winchester all load 2 3/4 inch 16
gauge "high brass" shells with 1 1/8 ounces of shot. These
have a MV of 1295 fps and are available in shot sizes 4, 6, and
7 1/2. These are the heavy upland game loads.
Federal also offers a Classic "low brass" or field load with 1
1/8 ounce of shot at a MV of 1185 fps in shot sizes 6, 7 1/2,
and 8. The more or less equivalent field loads from Remington
and Winchester propel 1 ounce of lead shot at a MV of 1165-
1200 fps. Shot sizes are #6 from Remington and 6 and 8 from
Winchester. These represent the traditional 16 gauge upland
game loads.
Winchester and Federal offer buckshot loads with 12 pellets
of #1 buck. For many years this was a popular deer hunting
load in the Deep South. There is also a 4/5 ounce Foster type
rifled slug load at a MV of 1600 fps from all three manufacturers.
Naturally, there are no target loads in 16 gauge.
The 16 has slipped in popularity, but it still makes a fine shotgun.
Some used guns, such as classic American doubles, are
fairly plentiful in 16 gauge. These are usually a little cheaper
than the same model and grade in either 12 or 20 gauge, and
are still very useful in the field. ◆
