milton

Thank you,very beautiful area with very nice people! I spent some time in the Maple Grove area from '95 to 2001 and was pleasantly surprised while there.Everyone I worked with was "comfortable" to work with.I don't think I have been any where that has as many dandelions in the Spring as th...

Thank you for sharing,those are beautiful photos!! Is that Port Clinton?

Some mixtures consisted of ascorbic acid (vitamin C) and a nitrate oxidizer. Many years ago we made rockets that were fueled with a mixture of sugar and potassium nitrate.

milton

Here in Alabama it is imperative that once a BP revolver is shot and cleaned it is checked and re-cleaned at least two more times.That is whether I am shooting BP or Pyrodex.I have also found great benefit in cleaning with a water soluble oil to remove traces of water hiding in the gun.

"The photo was taken in Horndean, Hampshire, England. It was at one of the many reenactments we have around the country."

When I was in the Army stationed at Red Stone Arsenal near Huntsville AL, I had that type of car! It was a Plymouth Valiant with a slant-six and the entire right side had been hit and then "painted" and taped.It was all I could afford and it would run!Duct tape is great stuff and , hey it ...

milton

I would like to ask a favor but do not want to put anyone in an apparent awkward position.I live in Alabama ,am jobless and unable to travel(except to the range :D ) and because of this I will never see anyone that posts here,especially you guys west of Alabama.What I would like to see if possible i...

Skinwalkers????

milton

Wonderful memories !! Thanks for sharing !!

milton

That is a very interesting site! Even if you are just tracking aircraft flying overhead the information available is great! I wish I would have had something like this available to me years ago when I was traveling.

milton

Sounds like somebody that flew into The Cow-Pasture Fly-In Bank !

There is NO problem that cannot be fixed with a few pounds of high explosive or a GOOD hammer!

I have thought about making a hopper out of aluminum tubing with a viewing window on the side.The reason I say that ,I have had three plastic hoppers in 25 years.The first one lasted 18 years and the second about 5 years.I believe the newer plastic may be different as my new tube started showing pro...

milton

Joe: I have an older one too and mine did the same thing! Mine was caused but the nitroglycerin reacting with the plastic hopper and essentially destroying it.I had to order a new one from Redding but I think there are places that sell plastic tubing of the diameter needed.If yours is leaking where ...

milton

Grizz,The info I received from the Omark Ind. lab years ago sited a 200 grain FMJ, Speer silhouette bullet ,number 4231.The bullet as they used it was NOT crimped in the crimp groove but over the front driving band.This gave an O.A.L of 1.565 inches.The pressure they quoted was 46,000.The top load t...

milton

I will give you what CCI gave me from an old spread sheet. Bullet:357-200grainTMJ, OAL-1.565 ( crimp over shoulder), case Speer and Winchester, Firearm:Dan Wesson,8 inch barrel with 1-18.75 twist , Primer- CCI 550, IMR 4227--Start at 10.6 grains for 664 fps : Max --11.8 grains for 841 fps. I shot th...

milton

M M, back in '85 while trying out the Speer jacketed 200 gr bullet I asked them what loads they suggested.They sent me 8 loads but as Terry says the fastest they quoted was Blue Dot.Everything else was either H 110,296,4227,#9,2400 or 800X.

milton

That rifle has been repaired by the Indians at one time or another with an "Ishy" screw.Following is a repair method used by Peter Laidler a British armorer,that really works. We rebuilt several thousands of these grand old ladies in Malaya during the late 60's but didn't put that screw th...

milton

RSY is correct! A year ago I did my own rust tests here at the house by placing steel pieces outside for a few days .I used 12 different oils and waxes and the two best rust preventives were Birchwood Casey Sheath and Kroil.Some old Remoil did OK also but every thing else failed to some degree to pr...

milton

Thanks for posting that,that is something that we can definitely use around here.I lost a cat last night to several skeeters;they attacked at one time and carried the sucked dry thing off !!!!!!!!!!!!

milton

Thank you very much !! Do you mind if I copy this to my files?

milton

I had a quote by you some time back concerning flattened primers in normal loads of the ".32's", I have since lost it. I am seeing flattened primers in almost all of my .32 H&R loads excepting the very very mild ones and would like to for you (if you don't mind) to explain the primer p...

milton

Joe ,if it a No. 4 or a No. 5 rifle ,I have bedded both with excellent results.Let me know if it is either and I will send you the method I used and try to help if you need help.If it is a No. 1 rifle I cannot help.

milton

I met a fellow many years ago that "blasted" granite slabs with water and wood.He and some help would drill holes with a star bit and hammer in a line so as to size the stone.He then drove a hardwood peg into each hole and built a clay basin around all the holes.The basin was filled with w...

milton

One way to shoot this stuff is to mix 4f black with a white glue and paint it on the end of a U shaped piece of nichrome wire.This wire is easy to find, just find an old toaster or electric heater and pull the wire that heats up when electrical current passes through it.Connect the battery up to thi...

milton

Yes,it looks just like that !This one has a slight bit of character about it!Thank you for the help!!

milton

I have been saving toward and looking for a good .22 lever gun for some time now.I was at the range today and bought a Marlin .22 that I am not completely familiar with.It is a Model 39 Century Ltd.It has a 20 inch octagonal barrel with a brass badge on the butt stock, a brass buttplate and a commem...

What's going to happen to these people if things really fell apart and in some measure reverted to the "Old Days" ????

milton

I will have to look out for them,they may have made it down here to Alabama !!

milton

I just read "Thoughts on Long Ago" and it brought a flood of memories back to me from the past!What times we had and our parents had years ago,but how it made us stronger than those today who "have it all" Thanks for the article!!!!
