Nath, my .357 Legacy will shoot 2 to 3 inch groups all day at 100 yards.I could probably get it tighter with a better trigger.I shoot 140 grain and 158 grain XTP's in mine with Li'l Gun and 296 all using small rifle primers.I have not had time to chrono mine but I would be willing to bet I am approa...

milton

It looks just like my Legacy,cross-bolt safety,stock and all except mine is in .357 mag caliber!

milton

Thank you very much! I will try the Cabela's one! I would like to get one an a week or so.

I recently bought a little Marlin 39 and though I love the little rifle I just cannot put up with the sharp, curved butt plate combined with the too short butt stock.I recall seeing somewhere a leather "something" that added length to a too short levergun butt stock. Anyone here help me fi...

I don't think it is your imagination at all! My wife and myself always prepare percolated coffee in a pot we bought from Cabela's.We tried other ways but there is just something about perc'd coffee.It also helps if the power is out and it is cold or you are camping,something about the necessity and ...

Thank you all !!! No levers this time !

Lot of mineral collecting in Arkansas but I don't remember any gold of quantity to pan.
If you are interested in collecting quartz crystals or various phosphates Arkansas is the place.

milton

Take a look at Loctite 638.I used some to fit the flash suppressor unit on a No. 5 Enfield and it has held for several years.No promises but it is worth a try.

milton

My Remington P-14 has a very nice chamber that does not cause brass problems like some of my No. 4 rifles do.Very easy to reload for !

milton

Yes it does appear to be worked and chalcedony makes great "flint" tools.That notch in the center appears to be the center of the geode and looks to be very small quartz crystals.The waxy luster and conchoidal fracture pretty much says it is chalcedony.It is definitely a keeper! Hobie, I a...

milton

Looks like a piece of chalcedony.I can't see any banding in the rock.if there is banding present it is an agate.Chalcedony and agates are considered a semi- precious gemstone,especially if colored nice.

milton

Wear a thicker band-air on your finger that gets bit.

Give John Gallagher a call,he is near Jasper Alabama.
He cut a dove tail in the barrel on my .32 H&R Ruger and put on a white line windage adjustable front sight .I could not see the old front sight but the white line is just the ticket.
His number is 205-384-5229 .

milton

Sounds good!!! Thanks !

milton

Anybody tried SR 4759 in 357 loads from a 357 mag levergun?

milton

Is that a Weihrauch I see there??? If so which model?

Calcium Hydroxide better known as hydrated lime.You can use lime,the kiln produced Calcium Oxide product by adding water to hydrate it and change it to the hydroxide.If you do add water to lime be careful if the lime is fresh as it can get very hot !!!!The white powder hydroxide will remove oil from...

Twoguns,many years ago I refinished an old Winchester .22 stock like you are asking about.Following the old directions I sanded until I reached my final stock shape.I then wet the wood ,placed a towel on the wood and applied an old iron in order to raise the "whiskers" in the wood.I then t...

I use .454 ball in my Uberti and .457 n the Ruger.The cylinder throats in the two guns are different.

milton

Well ,thanks but I don't want to remove that much weight from it!! I do want to keep it,I think I'll get the grinder out tomorrow and see what I can remove to make it lighter!!

Does anyone make helium grips???

milton

I have a Ruger Old Army,Stainless,fixed sights with a 7 1/2 inch barrel.I like shooting it but as BP revolvers go I would rather shoot my Uberti 1860 because of the weight of the Ruger.Anybody cut weight from their Ruger in a way that is both nice to look at and still safe to fire?I thought about cu...

Gotta pocket knife !! ???????????

I have a friend that was plowing a mule in south Alabama many years ago.It was perhaps one of the hottest summers on record for the area with temperatures in the 100's and very high humidity.The poor mule was suffering more that the man plowing him and even at night while in the barn the heat was so...

milton

Thanks Steve,I guess I will rust blue the frame .

milton

Thanks guys ,very nice info and that '58 looked very nice!!

milton

I have nitre blued some small parts but would like to know is there any part of a gun that you cannot nitre blue? I guess what I am asking is;if you had a vat large enough could you blue an entire revolver or something larger or would you cause a problem with the heat treatment of receiver or barrel...

Spent all of '72 and part of '73 at Camp Casey.Was there when the Second Infantry first came in.We brought in a new weapons system and a lot of noise was made about it.Apart from a bunch of Army stuff I actually enjoyed Korea.We did a lot of hiking and mountain climbing in the Area and being a geolo...

Loading 296 in my 32 H&R mag with standard primers gives no problem.Of course that is with a case full of powder and a 115 gr bullet!

milton

I don't know if you want to go to the expense but a Methacrylate glue- MA920 is very good for what you are doing. The dispenser is the expensive part and the glue has a relatively short shelf life.I have used it to widen the front sight on a single action and to mount the flash hider on a No. 5 Enfi...

milton

This may be a silly reply but do you have enough wood in the grip area to take a saw to it and then re-shape the stock correctly?

milton

Just for the information take a look at this link! http://www.handloads.com/articles/default.asp?id=12

milton

I like the Smith 25 myself.Yes it is not a Ruger but I still like them as a side carry and they are "strong enough" Heck you have the rifle for hotter loads.If you do try to find one either buy a later gun or check the throats before you buy.My first one had .458 throats and a .452 barrel ...

milton

I do not read my email with my hand on the mouse !!!!!! I think --I don't---- well---- maybe sometimes----or ------------something---like that--!!Oh well ----- I'm doomed !!!!

milton

If you can find one I would get a .32 H&R mag Ruger single action with a 6.5 inch barrel as has been already covered.The gun is the same size as a .22 6.5 inch Single-Six but since the revolver is bored larger it is lighter.Mine will shoot 115 gr cast bullets over 1200 FPS and is very accurate.Y...

Now that is using your head!!!! and his!!

As for a source for nitrobenzene I am not sure.Many companies buy the stuff by the drum and I think some people use it as a fuel mix in the place of nitromethane.Maybe someone here with company ties could get a small sample.

milton

If you want the old smell of #9 find some Nitrobenzene and mix in a little.Nitrobenzene is used in a lot of things to mask bad odors as it smells so good!It is also supposed to be toxic in large quantities;whatever that means!!!I guess if you fell in a vat of nitrobenzene you could possibly find it ...

milton

I also really look forward to your posts! Not quiet but it is close to being there;thanks much !!!

milton

I will try to get the wife to get an updated one!!

milton

Thanks for the update !!!Red-Neck ??? This post has been ongoing now for over a year ,thanks to all who have posted and continue to do so !!!!!!

milton

Looks like you really had a great time! Thanks for sharing the photos! I especially liked the one showing the tidal pool;there is always so much interesting life to be found in those!
That regular urchin looks like a Strongylocentrotus purpuratus.

If you can download and install SuperAntiSpyware.Disconnect from the net and run a complete scan of your system.Then re-boot your system and boot to the Safe-Mode.Run another complete scan in the safe mode while still disconnected from the net.Re-boot your system and you should be OK .

milton

Something we all need to give a lot of thought to;we all will also pass on our appointed day.Are we ready if that day is today? May the Lord richly bless you in this time of loss!

The Blue Hole area has some interesting geology.The company I worked for has several quarries in the area mining high purity dolomite.There are several sink holes in the area as the dolomite is prone to producing them.Before I left the area someone was drilling and found the buried remnant of an imp...

I replaced the Hi-Viz front sight on my 5 inch 686 with a Patridge/gold bead.I also replaced the AWFUL v notch rear blade with a standard notch sight(I HATE v-notch rear sights !!) The combination makes a great plate shooter.

milton

Make sure you get a proper lube to put in the spring chamber and the air chamber.The lube for the air chamber must be the correct one just for air guns .There should be a breech seal at the face of the pellet seating area on the barrel of either leather or a synthetic,make sure that the seal is in g...

milton

Get someone to do the job that is a good gunsmith.You can do it your self IF you are somewhat mechanically inclined,have the correct tools and know what to do.

milton

Wonderful news and you can be sure you have our prayers!!May our blessed Lord bless both of you and those who have helped!!!

milton

Well now that looks just like what I flew in;thank you for the help!!!
