Any gunsmithing questions you have, ask them here, hopefully some knowledgeable anons will be hanging around.
I'll start with a question of my own: I have an old black powder cartridge rifle with a very small barrel bulge about 1.5 inches (like 37mm for metric frens) from the muzzle. Do you think the problem could be solved by counterboring the shit out of the barrel just past that bulge? A new barrel isn't really an option.

Q. Am I correct in assuming that 9mm compensators begin activating past 1300+ FPS?

Any anons know of a good shop that will integrally suppress a barrel blank? Also, if my idea is retarded:Integrally suppressed bolt gun in .338 arc, 12.5" barrel

Not exactly gun smithing, but do I *need* something like a receiver block or reaction rod to remove a barrel? I want to remove a handguard, not sure if I'm just missing something, but I think it calls for removing the barrel/barrel nut or something. RIS II rail specifically. think I should just go to a shop and have someone do it for me since it'll be cheaper

>small barrel bulge
First question: how does it shoot now? Bulges aren't necessarily deal breakers, and if it's black powder then you're (hopefully) shooting lead bullets, which will minimize the issue. If it shoots straight, don't worry about it.

How do I get a start in handgun design?

Are there any good sources of unrifled tubes ready to have rifling cut into them? I want to practice cutting rifling, chambering, and eventually test firing 22lr to start.

Shoot the fuck out of it, the gun will be fine. I double tapped on a squib with this Model 10 in 2014, noticed a bulge immediately, and I've put thousands of rounds through it since without even a reduction in accuracy.

Still trying to figure out used Beretta 84BB (safety, not decocker) fuckery.

I've started to cut the potential causes down. The "snag" is the trigger that's supposed to be dead still interacting with the hammer/sear/whatever. Pushing the right side safety up eliminates this. Perhaps it's bent or worn. I've replaced the right side safety roll pin. It may also be a worn trigger bar spring as aiding it can help a little. The trigger release lever also likes to tweak and twist or even come out of its hole a little and pushing that flat with the frame completely stops this issue. I've seen people say theirs was bent or damaged causing a dead trigger.
