GunStock was simply fantastic!If you were there, you already knowthat. If you missed it, bummer!! Wereally had a lot of fun and certainlymissed having you there; here’s someof what happened.over 15,000 rounds through their gunsand they worked outstandingly well. Totop it all off, they donated 3 of the M1-22Carbines to the Raffle that benefitedPathway Home!Darrell Holland was there teaching seminarsas were Bob Dunlap, Ken Brooks,Jack Landis, Mark Foster and FredZeglin. Fred donated several certificatesto Front Sight Training Academy for theraffle.Can you believe 150 people shooting approximately100,000 rounds of ammo over three days,attending seminars during the days and roundtable discussions in the evening? Oh yeah, andthere were Hosted Bars and BBQ dinners.Ohio Ordnance brought their .50Cal M2 Browning and 2,500rounds of .50 ammo to share.Everyone got to shoot at least ashort belt through it. Many did ittwice. They also brought a semiauto BAR, VZ-2000 and M240belt fed, plus all the ammo wecould shoot through those too!All that at NO additional cost tothe attendees.Nemesis Arms let everyoneshoot their super accurate,silenced, take-down sniper rifle,Chiappa Firearms brought severalcool .22 handguns, thefamous Rhino revolver, theirnew .22lr M1 carbine look alikethat was a real hit, and a .22lrM4 version of the AR. We shot

AGI student and newly minted celebrity Rob Roy made a specialguest appearance, traveling all the way from Louisiana.AGI helped him get a gunsmithing project working with theT.V. Show “Sons ofGuns”, you should seehim on the show nextseason.Gene Shuey showedhow to fit TacticalSolutions’ .22lr uppers toGlock and STI 1911 stylelowers and then proceeded to teach everyone how to speed shoot, IPSC style.Joe Alesia Aka Lefty Longridge taught us how to shoot cowboy actionstyle and thousands of rounds rang steel through his 1873 lever actionreproductions, single action revolvers, and ’97 Winchesters.Jack set up the “RugerSpeed Challenge” which isa timed event using a .22pistol and rifle. We shot hiscustom built 10/22 andMKII pistol for the eventand the winner scored oneof the Chiappa M1-22s,how cool is that!? Jackturned the Ruger stage over to Ken Brooks and then set up a demo/evaluationwhere everyone tried shooting trap with the new electro/optical shotgunsight from Redring, set up on several different shotguns.We also put over 7,000 rounds of 9mm down range through my UZI andSterling Sub-machineguns in about 3+ hours of continuous roar. Many of theguns were so hot we could hardly handle them, and if the grins on people'sfaces had been any bigger they would have split open!The host shooting range “Stillwater Firearms Association” was simply fantastic,what a helpful, dedicated, hard workinggroup! Anything we needed they were thereto take care of, we could not possibly havepulled off this event without them.My son Jacob ran a one-on-one paintballshoot-out course and the brave souls thattried it had a hoot (and a few bruises!).AND . . . to top it all off we raised over$10,000 with the combination of ticket sales, the raffle and individual donations to supportthe Pathway Home, a residential treatment program for Iraq/Afghanistan Veteranswith PTSD or Traumatic Brain Injury.A rousing good time was had by all, meeting fellow members, shooting until youdropped, learning from the instructors and doing good work for a Great Cause! It surelymet my goal for maximum amounts of Fun, Fellowship and Education. I feel that itwas a complete success, and I’m pretty sure the attendees felt so as well.Gene Kelly,President Gun Club of America and the American Gunsmithing Institute ◆ 3

4GunTechProgram GuideWhat’s In This Month’s Issue?It’s our favorite month! July is the month that we celebrate ournation’s birthday AND our many freedoms, including thefreedom to own and shoot firearms. This month, GunTech isan “all American” issue and we celebrate with some fireworksof our own! What do we mean by “fireworks?” Well, Ken andBob take you on a tour of another firearm that exploded andKen lights up his torch to create some pretty colors, but thatis just the beginning. Gene fires-up his ’28 ThompsonSubmachine gun as well!The Laser Stock, carbine version,from Superior ConceptsProduct ReviewActually, this is a product REreview.A couple years back we reviewed the cool “LaserStock” for the Ruger 10/22 from Superior Concepts. So, whyare we taking a second look? Well, if you remember our interview,they said that one of the things they were working onwas trying to bring the price down (it WAS a bit pricey). Well,that’s not ALL they did, they fixed some niggling annoyancestoo and now it’s even MORE fun to play with!Tips from the WorkbenchThis month, Ken takes another “member request.” Several ofyou have asked him to cover the topic of annealing.Annealing, "drawing back" is done to soften steel after welding,or any time it has become “red hot”, to keep it fromremaining too hard and brittle. When we “draw back” (oranneal) we can choose how much hardness we wish to leavein. Ken shows you just how to do this using the color scale.Springfield Armory XD s single stack .45ACPSHOT Show HighlightsIf you’ve been a member for a while thenyou remember that the Springfield XD has thenotable status of being the first “plastic” gun thatBob Dunlap liked. So what have they been up to lately? Jackstops by their booth and they show us their new XD s . It is acompact version of the XD designed for concealed carry. Nosurprise here since compacts are all the rage, but are thereany other surprises? Take a look for yourself.SHOT Show HighlightsIn the 2012 SHOT Show issue of GunTech, Fred Zeglin visitedthe Coonan booth to check out the latest incarnations ofthis powerhouse of a pistol. Now, it’s Gene’s turn but he hasa different motivation. Gene interviews Mr. Coonan to findThe Coonan .357 Magnum 1911 style pistol, undressedout just how he cameup with this venerablefirearm and whatsome of the designchallenges werealong the way. Hisstory may just surpriseyou!Product ReviewA while back Jack went up to Oregon to attend the trainingoffered at CeraKote so he could learn first-hand about theprocess of applying their ceramic buttressed two part epoxyspray-finish and give you the inside dope. This month he doesjust that! He has several samples to show what you can dowith their finish and believe me, we are pretty sure you aregoing to be impressed (we know HE was!).SHOT Show HighlightsLast year, Ken interviewed Denny Chapman who competes inthe SASS mounted shooting competitions. This year LenéeLandis gets to spend a few minutes with another mountedshooter, Kenda Lenseigne. In case you forgot, mountedshooting is the sport where you shoot targets in a timed andscored competition WHILE riding horseback at high speed.This lady is so good(how good IS she??)that she beat out allother competitors,men and women, inthe all-around competitionfor the worldtitle!SHOT ShowHighlightsNow it’s time forKenda Lenseigne doing what she does betterthan anyone else in the worldsomething near and dear to Gene’s heart; suppressors. Genechecks in at the Silencerco booth to see what they have tooffer. They are a relatively new company, in business for onlythree years. There are quite a few silencer companies, sowhat’s their angle? Well, let’s just put itthis way: get ready to be blown away(quietly) by their radical new approachto suppressor design and construction.See why a suppressor that comes apart(intentionally) is a GOOD thing.The Silencerco “Sparrow”for rimfire shootersTool of the MonthThis month, Jack revisits a “tool” of his own design. Previouslyin GunTech he showed you how to modify your 10/22 receiverso you could clean the barrel from the breech end. Thismonth he has an update to that modification. Technically thisis not a tool because it becomes an integral part of the receiv-

er, but we refer to it as a tool because once you have installedone you will use it every time you clean your 10/22!In the ClassroomDid you think school was out for the summer?! Not atGunTech! But this month it’s totally worth getting back intothe classroom with Bob Dunlap and Ken Brooks because theyare going to show you another gun that had a catastrophicfailure. This time it is a Winchester Model 70 that suffered acase rupture and subsequent blow-out. Although the Model70 is safety-breeched, it is not breeched all the way aroundthe bolt face (like a Remington 700) and the results of whattook place reflect those differences.Product ReviewJack takes a look at twoversions of a CCW holstermanufactured by thefolks at Galco Leather.Each of these is designedfor those nifty little .38special revolvers (like theRuger LCR and the SmithBodyguard). One of themis designed for yourpocket and the other toGalco Pocket Protectorholster and a S&W Bodyguard,“One in the side pocket” for sure!The 1928 civilian version of theThompson Submachine Guntuck in your waistband.Jack has tested both andgives you the insidescoop on how they work.Gene’s GunLockerThis month it is time forsomething no one will besurprised by (especially those of you who attended GunStockback in June!). Gene brings out his iconic, ’28 Thompson submachinegun. He tells you the fascinating history of its developmentand use, field strips and reassembles it, and showsyou some variations in parts along the way. Of course he finishesup out at the range, where he runs a few magazinesthrough it, demonstrating its stability and accuracy in someunique ways.Product ReviewThis is one product that should probably be in most of ourback pockets (O.K. maybe not our pockets, but at least ourfield kits!). Jack reviews the adjustable-height scope mountsfrom B.S.A. Talk about one FLEXIBLE, solid, mounting system!He shows you all the heights you can achieve with a set ofthese as well as the design features that make this “Legostyle” scope ring work so well.Disassembly/Reassembly CourseWe promised youan “all American” issue of GunTechthis month. In keeping with that we not only have adisassembly/reassembly gun that was made in America, wehave a gun that was designed and produced by our very ownsharpshooting, custom rifle building, Darrell Holland! That’sright! This month’s Disassembly/Reassembly Course is on thePGW .45 carbine designed and produced by Darrell in the1980s.Ken thoroughly enjoys taking you through the complete disassemblyand reassembly of this cool little semi-auto carbineand you’ll have fun identifying some of the components fromother fine firearms that Darrell integrated into his design. Wetruly hope that each of you had a safe and fun 4th of July andare also able to enjoy celebrating our firearms freedoms atthe range with your family during the rest of the month. Takecare, shoot straight and we’ll see you next month . . .in GunTech! ◆Coming Next MonthHot August nights are coming soon and what better to curlup with than a sizzling issue of GunTech!? That’s right, theAugust issue of GunTech is LOADED with hot features.Gene Shuey has his first “Tip from the Workbench” and Boband Ken take you back “In the Classroom” to discuss longforcing cones. Then Jack has another simple and useful“Project of the Month” for Smith revolvers that ALSO involvesthe forcing cone!Jack and Gene Kelly have more in-depth highlights from the2012 SHOT Show. This month they discover more new gunsand a new cartridge. Gene also checks out something thatties in perfectly for those of you who attended GunStock andhad a chance to shoot the .50 caliber, “Ma Deuce” machinegun; a cool new .50 cal receiver!Benelli B80 Lever Locking PistolIn addition to that, we’ve got more newproducts and your Disassembly/ReassemblyCourse. This month Ken takes you through the completedisassembly and reassembly of a pistol youdon’t run into every day of the month from a companyknown these days for their shotguns . . . the Benelli B80.See what we mean?! The August issue of GunTech is hot, soget your swimsuit on and prepare to take a dip in the pool tocool off after you join us next month…in GunTech! ◆5

6Jack’sCornerby Jack LandisAGI Technical Services Managerand GCA Connection EditorI just got back home from Fallon, Nevada and our bi-annualguns, teaching and shooting overdose, GunStock. I know thatthose of you that didn’t go are probably sick unto death withhearing about it, but……well, so just go next time and findout what everybody is gushing about. Anyway, before I getstarted with the actual subject of this month’s column, let memention a few of my highlights, and one lowlight.Ohio OrdinanceM240-SLRThank youOhio Ordinance for bringing Ma Deuce and5,000 of her spawn, along with a half dozen other “BeyondCool” guns! It’s been about 40+ years since I fired one ofthose for a serious reason, and it was GREAT to fire a 10round belt for fun. My muscle memory of the “Rotate down,pull back” of the cocking handle had apparently disappearedwith my Break Dancing and concert piano skills (No, wait,was that me or someone else?) over the years. This was moreembarrassing because I don’t remember having to actuallythink about the operation in my oh so distant past.ArmaLite AR30 in.338 Lapua . . .Sighting in and shootingArmaLite’s AR30 in .338 Lapuawas an amazing experiencenot so much because it wasso accurate, you’d expect. . . sort of a .50BMG Litethat, but because it was so softshooting. The Ruger American rifle in .308 was actuallywaaaay less enjoyable off the bench, but then it was 10pounds lighter and didn’t have an M1 Abrams Tank muzzlebrake hanging off the end of the barrel either.Standing six to eight feet behind the muzzle of the AR and oneither side of the shooter subjected one to a truly invigoratingblast of high pressure hot air every time the trigger waspressed. I think everyone rang the 250 yard gong with theirone shot of the gun. Why one shot? Well…. Because eachround set the Exalted Mr. Kelly back about $3 and I swear heflinched every time the trigger was pressed. Truthfully, I’mglad beyond belief that he enjoys doing (and paying for) thisstuff at least as much as we enjoy it, I’d be broke if I had topay for all of this fun stuff myself.Nemesis ArmsVanquishThank you David Ives forbringing your suppressed .308Vanquish take-down sniperrifle again; its almost boringability to bring whispering destructionat a distance was inspiring as usual. Did ANYBODY actuallymiss the distant gong? Oh yeah, I forgot, but then the lossof memory is probably a good thing for my continued employment.Thanks as well for bringing your lovely daughter againto keep you in line, and, uh, about that 2XL long sleeve T-shirt??Another highlight was Ron Norton, President of ChiappaUSA, bringing at least a half dozen different guns (ANDammo) for the members to shoot. .22 LR versions of the 1911,M9 Beretta, AR M4, and M1 Carbine were a gas and reliableas sin in the heart of a politician. They also gave us two of theM1-22 carbines to raffle in support of the Pathway Home aswell as a Rhino they sold to me with the sale price going toPathway Home as well. They also gave us an M1-22 to giveaway as first prize in the Ruger Rimfire competition. Way to goChiaappa!Chiappa's M1-22 Carbine. What a sweet shooter!The highlight for many wasthe .357 magnum Rhino“upside down” revolver. You’ve all heard me gushabout it until you probably want ear protection, but thosethat shot it now understand why. If you just tried it like anyother revolver; inhale, hold, sight, squeeze, Bang, repeat, youdidn’tget the picture. If you pulled the trigger as fast as youpossibly could; BANGBANGBANGBANGBANGBANG andwatched the sights NOT move as the steel rang discoveredwhat I’ve been saying all along; REVOLUTIONARY! It’s muchlike shooting a maximum compensated 1911 race gun in .38Super, NO muzzle flip. I laid my really nice 4 inch Model 65S&W down on the bench to encourage those who were notall that impressed with the Rhino to compare it to a traditionalgun. When they did, case closed.As far as the lowlight; did you ever have a comment gothrough your head that sounded REALLY funny in your mind?Unfortunately as it runs out of your mouth you’re thinkingNONONONO, it’s NOT funny, STOPSTOPSTOP, but yourmouth has a mind of its own and won’t? OK, probably not. Butas someone who purportedly gets paid to write and talk, ithappens more than I’d like to me. You’d think that if I was halfas smart as I constantly tell you I’m not, well . . . Sorry Ron,mea culpa.I was thrilled to see that my 10/22 give-away guns ran so wellthrough thousands of rounds, although you DO have to lubethe bolt guides in the receiver and the recoil spring guide rod

every few thousand rounds (Duh!). The blue Ruger MKII alsoran flawlessly. The silver gun started getting light hits butwhat I thought was the problem was not. I whined to DinoLongueira (Thanks Dino & Joann for the six packages ofRuger MK pistol accessories for the raffle) at Majestic Armsand he made a few suggestions, but I have not had a chanceto sort it out yet. The .22 LR top end for my TZ75 from EAAworked great, but the polymer magazine began mis-feedingbefore too long. Something else I’ll have to check out.At long last I got the opportunity to let abunch of folks try the electric shotgun sight to see if it workedas well for others (particularly the cross eye dominant crowd)as it worked for The Boss and me. The great folks atREDRING gave me three of their $900 shotgunsights to mount on various guns for theattendees to try, and I mounted one of Mr.K’s EoTech 65 minute circle sights on a my“social” 870.View through the REDRING sightThe REDRING sight in placeIn order to bring the comb of that gun high enough to seethrough the sight I had to machine 1 inch taller risers for myBill Davis adjustable comb stock. I mounted one of theREDRINGS on my Beretta Clays O/U and two on a pair of870s (Thanks to Producer Keith and Clint Hawkins). Since theREDRING mounts to the barrel rib and is very low profile, Ididn’t have to make any stock mods to use them. Mr. K waskind enough to buy me us an electric trap to allow us to haveeveryone try the electro-optic guns without me having to getall sweaty pulling back a manual trap all day long. I love youBoss.ManagementDeer Hunts andTrophy BucksBy Dr. Jim ClaryEveryone who hunts has dreamed about that monster trophybuck that we hope to get a crack at some day. However, haveyou ever given any thought as to how they get so big?While studying wildlife management in college many yearsago, I was intrigued by the predator/prey relationship andhow it affected the populations of animals. Left to their owndevices (i.e., without human intervention), animal populationsare subject to significant cyclic variations. As the prey (deer)increased in numbers, so did their predators (wolves, pumas,etc). Then, as the predators continued to multiply given theabundance of food, their food supply (deer) began to dwindle.With the decrease in their food supply, a decrease inpredator numbers followed. These cycles were often wild intheir fluctuations and rarely resulted in a stable population ofeither deer or predators.In the absence of predators (including hunters), deer populationswill still undergo substantial cyclic fluctuations. Thistime the cycles occur when population numbers exceed thecarrying capacity of the environment. Under those circumstances,starvation and disease devastate the population andnumbers drop drastically; e.g. the Kaibab deer in Arizona.The point of both examples is that deer populations (elk,antelope, etc), when left to the tender mercies of nature, arenever stable. The numbers fluctuate from unsustainable highsto unacceptable lows. Enter scientific wildlife managementtechniques.Jack's 870 with modified Bill Davis stock and EoTech sight andBeretta Clays with REDRING mountedEveryone got a chance to try the guns, frequent, infrequentand never before shooters. Although the EoTech equippedgun worked well for me, the REDRING equipped gunsworked best for most of the shooters. I suspect it wasbecause they didn’t have their heads so high up on the stockand the guns mounted more conventionally for them.Also, most shooters had a distinctly better level of successwith either the 870s or the Beretta O/U even though the sightis a “What you see in the ring is what you hit” setup, and withContinue on page 13 Continue on page 9Predator/prey relationshipGame ranches and hunting reserves, in the United States andAfrica, utilize wildlife management techniques designed tomaintain populations at the highest sustainable levels withoutwild cyclic fluctuations. To accomplish this, the herds are7

Leupold VX-3I did a lotof research whenI decided that I wanted tobuy a new hunting rifleand optics. I had already made up mymind the rifle I wanted was going to be a brandnew left handed Remington 700 chambered in.30-06. Most of my research time was spent on findingthe right scope.There are a lot of really great choices out there these days, sothis was not an easy decision. Though money was not themost important factor in my decision, I knew there was plentyof glass out there simply too excellent for my needs. Therifle package I was putting together had to be all Americanmade, so that eliminated the high end European choices. Ipretty much knew my final selection would be a Leupoldscope but there are many different models they offer withmany different uses.Rif lescopeBy Robert Dunnemploys over 600 workers in their stateof the art manufacturing plant inBeaverton, Oregon.Many of the lessons learned over the decadesof success have ended up in the line of VX-3 scopes. Evenafter deciding that I wanted a VX-3, there are many differentmodels and features to choose from before making a finaldecision.Well, I'm still waiting for Remington to manufacture my lefthanded rifle and when they do, maybe I will finally get to writean article about the first deer or elk I bring to the freezer. Untilthen, I have decided to tell youabout the scope I purchased.I am the proudowner of aLeupold VX-3!The dial clicks arevery positiveAs I mentionedearlier, the scope had to beAmerican made and it is!Leupold's history takes us back over 100 years, when in 1907,Fred Leupold started a repair shop for surveying equipment inOregon. Over the next 100 years, the humble repair shop grewinto a company that designs and manufactures some of thefinest sporting optics in the business. The company embarkedon manufacturing their first riflescope after Fred's son,Marcus, missed shooting a deer because of fogged lenses.Marcus stated, "Hell, I could make a better scope than this!"Later that year, Leupold brought the 2.5x Plainsman to themarket. In 1949, Leupold became the first manufacturer toevacuate the scopes interior of air and fill it with purenitrogen. This process "weather-proofed" their optics, eliminatingany chance of internal fogging, a feature that wasobviously extremely popular with hunters!To this day, Leupold continues to design innovative cuttingedge products. The company is still family owned and8Some of the features that made me choose the VX-3 includedthe Xtended Twilight Lens System, the DiamondCoat 2lens coating, blackened lens edges, second generationwaterproofing, twin bias spring erector system and someadjustments that are cryogenically treated.For the ultimate demonstration of class,Leupold mounts a 24k gold-plated ring andmedallion to each scope.The Xtended Twilight Lens System allows theshooter to have a brighter and more detailedimage in low-light conditions. The human eye seesgreen light the best and as yourshooting environment gets darker,the green light disappears and blue/violet lightbecomes more prominent. Leupold's lens systemuses special coatings on the glass toachieve excellent blue/violet light transmissionand balances very well with the fadinggreen light during low light conditions.Tactile Power Indicator and Range Estimator

The DiamondCoat2 lens coatingprovides excellentlens protectionand is veryscratch resistant.The blackenedlens edges allowmore usable lightto reach theshooter's eye byreducing light diffusion, which gives the rifleman a brighterimage with more contrast.Waterproofing of the VX-3 line of scopes is achieved with aproprietary Argon/Krypton gas blend, which eliminates theeffects of thermal shock and reduces the diffusion of thegases sealed inside of the scope. This process has beenproven to be even more effective than the original nitrogenwaterproofing technology that Leupold pioneered!Duplex ReticleDuplex and Boone andCrockett Big GameLeupold lens caps and their fine Lens Pen.A little care goes a long way.To guard against point-of-impact shiftand to help with adjustment repeatability,Leupold has employed their twinbias spring erector system, whichincreases the pressure applied to theerector tube by up to 30%. This alsodecreases the stress on the scopesinternal workings for longer life. Thepower selector dial has a tactile powerindicator with a built-in range estimatingfeature on the power selector ring,plus they use graphite O-rings forsmooth and easy operation.My model is the VX-3 3.5-10x40mmscope in a Matte Black finish (it is alsoavailable in Gloss Black and Silver).There are a couple of different reticles that are available forthis scope as well;I can't wait to "field test" this scope when I finally get my rifle.I feel confident that the scope will perform as needed as allmy experiences with Leupold products have been very positive.The riflescope market is very competitive with Europeand Japan manufacturing great scopes. I think that you wouldbe hard pressed to find such excellent and numerous featuresin a scope in the same price range from any other companyin the world.Management Deer Hunt Continued . . .“culled” on a regular basis. This management processrequires the harvest of excess animals (both trophy and nontrophy)to insure that the remaining herds are healthy andhave sufficient food and habitat to survive. In the absence ofnatural predators, there are only two choices: Pay professionals(with taxpayer money) to cull excess animals, or letsportsmen buy hunting licenses, clothes, rifles, etc. The latterputs money into the economy, rather than taking it out.In short, hunters are an essential part of scientific wildlifemanagement. If the anti-hunting fanatics of the world hadtheir way, wildlife populations would fluctuate wildly and besubject to regular disease outbreaks and starvation. The“good” (and I use that word very loosely) intentions of thesemisguided and ignorant folks are founded on junk science andignorance. They probably went to school with the anti-guncrowd who believe that disarming law abiding citizens alsoreduces crime, although statistics clearly show otherwise.License quotas in most states are based on the best informationavailable to the management biologists (i.e., the numberof animals which can/should be harvested to maintain a stablepopulation). In addition to their regular trophy tags, gameranches and hunting reserves across the globe often haveregular management hunts. These hunts are designed to harvestexcess animals (usually non-trophy) to maintain thehealth of the overall population.The hunt for these animals isevery bit as challenging as fora 170+ whitetail deer, excepttheir antlers won’t make therecord books. Even so, theirracks make fine skull mountsto preserve the memories ofyour hunt.So, the next time that youhead out for a fall hunt;remember, harvesting a“non-trophy” deer is just asimportant to the overall welfareof the population as takingthat monster wall hanger. The three whitetails picturedabove were taken by my wife and daughter during a managementhunt in south Texas. The decision was made by theranch manager that the genetics of these three were notdesirable, hence the management hunt.I can't wait to get my rifle and proudly show you some photosof this fine scope mounted on top of a fine rifle . . . in myhome! ◆Mary and Susannah had a wonderful four-day hunt, takingfour whitetails, a black buck and a surplus cow elk. Our freezeris full of meat for the winter and the herd is better off. Thenext time you hear someone disparage management hunts,remember: without them, there would be fewer of the trophyRobert Dunn is an AGI/GCA Video Producer,AGI Pro Course Graduate, GCA Charter Member,animals that we all hope someday to find. ◆and a Certified Law Enforcement Armorer 9

10Producer’sCutby Keith HezmalhalchAGI/GCA ExecutiveVideo Producer andNew Age SageHappy Belated 4th!Welcome to July and graduations,weddings, yard work, barbeques,house projects, pool parties and whatever else you can imaginesince the nice weather is officially here. Of course, sincethe weather is better at this point, we can all spend more timeat the shooting range (assuming you’re not busy with thatyard work or those house projects like I am!). That being said,each year I look forward to the spring and summer weatherbecause I can finally begin any car projects (I don’t have agarage), and of course the yard projects.Road Trip . . .Recently, Suzy and I took a road trip to southern California tosee some antique airplanes and ride some trains in celebrationof our birthdays. I had heard about the classic aircraft atthis small town airport for many years and stumbled on a flyerfor the nearby scenic railroad a few years ago, but both werefar enough away that it wouldn’t work as a “spur of themoment” outing. Imagine my excitement when I checked thetrain flyer and found that it was only 7 miles from the airportwe were planning to visit? How cool is that (I always LOVEkilling TWO birds with one stone)!The road less traveled . . .We took the scenic route (Hwy 101) and were able to stopand smell a few roses along the way; we ate at the famousAnderson’s Pea Soup Restaurant in Buellton, we were able tospend an hour of two in Solvang (AKA “Danish Disneyland”,an all Danish town nearby) and I showed Suzy the worldfamous Madonna Inn in San Luis Obispo. Eventually wearrived at our destination in Santa Paula only to find that theshindig we were scheduled to attend wasn’t as much of a bigdeal as we were led to believe. So, we blew it off, checked intoour room and went to see “Battleship” (a pretty fun moviewith a nice patriotic theme). It was lucky for us that such asmall town had theaters!A ghost of a different color . . .In keeping with our “tales of the unexpected” theme thatseemed to be the foundation of this particular trip, we foundout AFTER we checked out of our room at the Glen TavernInn, built in 1912, that a couple of the rooms are purported tobe haunted (including the one directly below ours). The onlything we knew before we got there was that Harry Houdini,John Wayne, Carol Lombard and others had stayed there.If you are EVER inthe area of SantaPaula, weHIGHLYrecommendstaying there.It is a gorgeous,English Tudorstyle inn, eachroom is differentand the prices are VERY reasonable both for rooms and thetop quality Italian restaurantI know you are, but what am I? . . .We knew where we were going (and now, so do you) butwhere am I going with this story? The surprise of the trip wasfinding this part of California that is located along Hwy 126between Ventura on the coast and Magic Mountain onInterstate 5. I had never turned off to explore this area and notonly is it a beautiful region but it has much historical significancefor California. The Santa Clara River Valley was oncethe lemon capital of the country and later, the avocado capitalof the U.S. (until we began importing avocados fromMexico). It is also home to Union Oil Company (now betterknown as Union 76). In fact there was so much oil in theregion that when farmers dug their wells they usually struckoil instead of water!In the eye of the beholder . . .If you appreciate “Art Deco” style in construction and graphicarts, then you will appreciate the gorgeous fruit-cratelabels that came out of that region (I happen to LOVE themand have some on display in my house). Now (of course) Ihave more. But that is not all! Nearby is the Simi Valley, theRonald Reagan Presidential Library, Ojai Valley,Commemorative Air Force Museum and more. In fact thereare so many things to see down there that we are planning ongoing back so we can enjoy and explore more.Clickity Clack . . .Sunday worked out better, our train ride was more than wecould have hoped for! It was scenic, fun, entertaining and educational.The train wasn’t too full that day so we made friendswith the crew who enjoy talking shop and telling stories to railroadaficionados. At the end of our trip, as we were about towalk away, we received an invitation to join the engineer in thecab of the F7 diesel to do some switching maneuvers! Suzyhad never been in the cab of a locomotive before and I hadnever been in an F7! Not only did we have fun, but Larry theengineer (who has over 40 years experience working for railroads)taught us some things about the techniques and methodsfor operating as well as imparting some facts we didn’tknow before.How many angels can fit on the head of a pin? . . .For instance, how many square feet of contact area do youthink the wheels of a 100 car train have? Remember, each

wheel is about 36 inchesin diameter, there are8 wheels per car andthe rails they sit on areabout 3 inches wide.Give up? I thought perhapsthe total tractionsurface was maybe tensquare feet… nope. Thetotal contact area on the rails of a 100 car train is…ONESQUARE FOOT! That’s right, one square foot. You see, eachwheel actually only contacts the rail with about the imprint ofa single sewing needle. No WONDER trains are so efficient!Once you get the mass rolling, it takes very little to KEEP itrolling. Of course, once it IS rolling… it is VERY difficult to getit to STOP! One last thing, the Fillmore and Western Railroadis known as the “movie train.” Hollywood visits regularly tofilm wrecks and much more. You have seen their trains inmany TV shows and movies. Cool stuff.GUNSTOCK . . .I TRULY enjoyed seeing familiar faces and meeting new onesat GunStock this year! I was able to catch up with some of youduring meals and in the evening and that really meant a lot tome, thanks so much! I don’t remember his name but it wascool meeting the GCA member who is a fellow Gold Wingowner (and rode it through the dirt to the range!!) and to thegentleman who mentioned that he is a fellow video producer,I apologize that the timing was such that when we ran intoeach other I was busy. I kept watching to meet up with youlater and get to know you better but it didn’t work out. Youknow who you are, email me at khez@netzero.net.BANG BANG BANG went the trolly . . .That is my GCA interpretation of that song. My FAVORITEpart of the shooting at GunStock was being able to sit downbehind the Browning .50 cal machine gun and hammer out ashort belt. THAT is something I have wanted to do ALL my life.If I had a bucket list it would have been on it!! Enjoyed shootingthe Armalite AR 30 even if it was only 1 round. It sure wassoft shooting with that muzzle brake, but more about that ina future issue of GunTech! It was also fun to shoot the 5.56s;they are really easy shooting as well.Tie a bow on it . . .So, I hope more of you plan on making it to the next GunStockit is DEFINITELY a great deal for the dollar as trips and conventionsgo. Also, I highly recommend a visit to that area justnorth of Los Angeles where there is no smog, lots of scenery,life is slower and there is much to see.Lastly, I hope you and your loved ones all had a GREAT 4th ofJuly celebration with lots of good food, good company andfireworks (of course!), and that during the rest of July you areable to get out to the range and continue to celebrate ouramazing freedoms. Take care of yourselves and I’ll see you inAugust in the next issue . . . of GunTech! ◆Member "Insider" Tip!Editor’s Note: This “Tip” looks like way more than just a tip to me.Have any of you priced some checkering or custom stockmakingrecently? It’s more than I’d get for my kids AND grandkids. I'mgoing to send my LeFever Nitro Special 16 ga for the treatmentand my A. H. Fox Sterlingworth that Bob fixed for a checkeringre-cut. Oh thank you Mr. Wagoner, thank you.Jack,I have been working on a deal that I think a great many GCAmembers will be interested in. To make a long story short, Ithink I have put together a plan to allow GCA members to getalmost any wooden or laminate stock for their customers at aprice where they can make some good money and have ahappy customer. I have struck a deal with a custom stockmakerto build almost any kind of wood stock that anyonewould need and there is no minimum. He has about 60 yearsexperience at making stocks.The stockmaker has a couple of warehouses full of woodranging in price from under $100 to some over $2000 for theblank. He has over 3000 patterns and can take any old stock,or pieces thereof, and make a new one. I saw a stock for aParker shotgun that was sent to him in about 10 pieces andhis new stock took about 30 minutes to fit to the receiver.At the same time, I have been talking with a supplier of excellentlaminate wood and other premium woods for gunstocks.At this time it looks like I can get custom laminates made ofany color and color combination for under $100.The carving fee for almost any stock will be under $100. Theturnaround time will most likely be less than two weeks,unless some special wood is required to be shipped in.I can fit and finish the stock for them or they can do it themselves.Photos of the stock cutting equipment and a bunch ofphotos of finished stocks are available.I have also worked a deal with a man that has been checkeringstocks for about 30 years. His price is fair and he also fitsand finishes stocks.For those who wish to deal direct:The stockmaker is Evans Compton. He is in Clemmons, NC(Near Winston-Salem). Phone 336-766-0271. Now be forewarned,Evans is a no-nonsense guy that speaks his mind.He will tell you like it is. Great character.The fitter and checkerer is Eddie Hilton. He is in Winston-Salem. Phone 336-924-9407. Laid back, easy going, and usuallybusy.Sincerely,Phil Wagoner – GCA MemberI can’t wait to see their work. Will share thoughts and pics in afuture GunTech – Ed. ◆11

I said in last month’s part segment that the part was socommon and well known to most that any of you who’dever disassembled a gun should know what it was or turn in your“Gun Wienie” T-shirts.” You must have been stung into action since we gotforty-two responses, the most ever. This month’s winners are shown below.Thirty-eight of these were correct, and three of the others also had the correctanswer, which was the hammer block from practically every Smith & Wessonrevolver made in most of the last seventy-five years. Unfortunately these threewent on to add “also known as the transfer bar,” which performs the exact opposite function.It’s kind of like saying “It is a gas pedal, also known as the brake”.These guys must never have been married or questioned by an attorney because they didn’tknow, or forgot, the cardinal rule for interrogatees, “Just answer the question asked and then put a lid on it”.Volunteering additional information only leads to trouble.*$50 limitSince we seem to have previously ignored the old adage that “Simple is successful” (an adage I either remember or just madeup, at my age it’s hard to be sure), this month’s part will be just as recognizable. All of you cammie wearers and practicallyeveryone else has seen this part. We’ll take the eighth, first, twelfth, and last before publication correct answers for the threeprizes and Honorable Mention. Don’t waste time, I expect my email account to smoke with so many correct answers.Email me at jlandis@americangunsmith.com with the correct answer and win! You can call me with the answer ONLY if:1. You do not have a computer/email access. 2. You call (800) 797-0867, ext. 104 between 0800 - 1700 PDT Mon - Fri.3. If you get my voicemail, you leave your name, phone number, and guess.The voicemail time stamps, so be CLEAR with the info.Oh yeah, and Jack didn't say anything dumb in GunTech this month either - Hah!!!Jack's Column Continued . . .no parallax it makes no difference if your head is high or lowon the comb. Go figure. It took most of the shooters a shot orthree to get the hang of it but then they started crushingthose clays. Most everyone REALLY liked the sight.Thanks to REDRING for allowing us to raffle one of the off forcharity. I gave one to Lisa Munson (multi time World PistolChampion and Babes with Bullets instructor) to evaluate. Ifone of you folks out there belongs to a Skeet/Trap cluband/or does a lot of hunting with a shotgun, give me a calland we’ll see about loaning you one of the sights for evaluationby you and your compatriots. Such a Deal!‘Til next month, break some new ground ‘smithing and shooting,and introduce someone new to each,Jack Landis(800)797-0867 x 104 • jlandis@americangunsmith.com ◆13
