My first .22 was Ruger Single Six with 9 1/2 inch barrel when I was 18 in 1965......shoots like a rifle ( very accurate)....and I still have it,

mran1126

Thanks guys. It was actually older ammo,,,,,,I haven't had time to try to push it back in yet,,,,,I can't figure out how it ended up like this. Just a little out of the chamber. I'll probably have time to mess with it this weekend..,,I was hoping that I wouldn't have to knock those pins out,,,,and I...

mran1126

Thanks for your replies. Case seems a little tight, but I'll try pushing it in tomorrow. This is the first jam I've ever had in this rifle. I know you can take the lifter out if you knock out a couple of pins,,but I'd rather not do that,,,,,,,I'll play around with it a little more,,thanks again.

Just need some advice. I've had this Model 34 for 65 years and never a problem. Let my wife shoot it the other day and she was able to get a cartridge jammed. Nothing moves and wondered if anyone had a similar experience. I know there are 2 pins in the carrier that can be punched out to remove it. B...

I've been using it for a couple of years now as a substitute for Unique in pistol rounds. Works ok for me.

mran1126

Yes, very nice. Since you asked about maybe some improvement, you might try to burnish the cut edges of the leather. Makes them look a little more finished. I burnish all my edges. Darkens them and smooths them to a harder finish. But nice work.

I guess I miss previous posts on your eye problem. I get injections too for a bleeding eye. What is your problem?

mran1126

Sambar stag is pushing more like $375 new. If you can still find them new. Elk are $150 - $200.

Last week at the Mary'sville, WA Cabelas, I found a pound of Bullseye..$25.95.

Thanks, Pete. I really wasn't sure how the feeding mechanism worked. So, it probably is something with that stop latch. I gave it a really good cleaning so maybe something has broken there. Probably will need to take it to a gunsmith to have it checked out. The spring in the magazine tube rod seems ...

mran1126

Did a good cleaning. It didn't help the problem. Looks to me like whatever is supposed to grab that cartridge and pull it back out of the feeding tube just isn't grabbing it.

mran1126

Thanks, I'll try a good cleaning and see if that works.

mran1126

I have a Remington .22 Model 34 that I have had since I was a kid and never had any problem with it. Last time shooting it, it failed to feed the cartridges from the magazine tube. Shoots fine single shot. Just wondered if anyone was familiar with the feeding mechanism of those .22 bolt actions and ...

Yes, most Filipinos are hard working and modest. My fiance is a college graduate there but like most of the Philippines, she makes almost nothing at her job as a College accounting clerk. Very poor country. When we get her here in the US she might decide to work here too. She won't need to, but can ...

mran1126

Thank you for your comments. My first trip to the Philippines was quite pleasant. I didn't run into any kind of problems in Mindanao. Everyone was very nice there. I only saw one other European looking guy when I was in Zamboanga. He was also from the US, but married to a Filipina and living there. ...

I've started the fiancee process. Mine is being processed in California and I checked on the time frame for it. It says the California processing takes about 5.5 months. So, if everything goes ok, she could be here sometime in late summer. Here are some pictures of my fiancee. http://i844.photobucke...

Thanks for the pointers, 6 pt. I leave on March 18th from Seattle. Flight from Seattle to Korea is 10 or 11 hours. Then about 4.5 hours to Manila.

mran1126

Hi,6pt. I'll be heading back to Zamboanga next month to see my fiance for the 2nd time. I guess now you need to transfer to terminal 3 at the Manila airport. How bad is it? lol I have a 5 or 6 hour layover to catch the flight down to Zamboanga. I'm starting the Fiance K-1 visa. The USCIS just accept...

mran1126

Thanks, Nate. I"ll check that hinge.

mran1126

Nate, my problem isn't that rounds don't release from the magazine....the problem is that they slip past the stop and are released before they should. When the lifter rises, I can see the next round already past the cartridge stop. If I don't see that and close the action...that second round ends up...

mran1126

Thanks for the illustrations. Everything is helpful.

mran1126

Thanks so much for the replies. I"m not a welder so maybe I'll take it apart to check that spring. But I also bought a different cartridge stop from a member here. I"ll install it and see how it works. Thanks again for the information.

mran1126

I do cycle correctly. There seems to be no consistent thing I do which would cause that cartridge to slip past the cartridge stop. They even slip past the stop at times when I just load the cartridges. Just so frustrating. Thanks for your comments.

mran1126

The only one that has had any work done on it was the .357 and that was because of the cartridge stop problem..2 different gunsmiths.....neither one of them found or corrected the problem. The other 2 have never had anything done to them. I might try to replace the cartridge stop myself. But maybe t...

mran1126

Is there anyone who has a Rossi model 92 that does't let cartridges slip past the cartridge stop? I have 3 of them and they all do it. I have .357.....and 2 .44 mags. Makes no difference what bullet shape or length. The .357 is the worst. I have to pretty much shoot it single shot. But I have to wat...

I got a nice one from Vaquero Leather. Reasonably priced in my opinion.

I've been looking for a Super Blackhawk 3 screw for a while. I finally found one at the gun show this weekend. There are a couple of small dings but the bluing is very good. Everything is tight and in good working order. From the serial number it looks like 1970 era. $350 out the door. I'm happy.

mran1126

I used to buy Levi's 517 for years. But when they changed their manufacturing, they weren't the same. So now I just buy Rustler jeans...I can by 3 pair of Rustler for what 1 pair of Levi's would cost. And they last about as long anyway.

mran1126

Buy some different ones? Might not be possible to antique those.

mran1126

Thanks Griff. I think the cartridge stop is the right track. Not all the cartidges are out....just the loose ones that I could dump out. I don't think the pin is the problem. I have seen cartridges try to slip by the stop, but I have seen them in time to push them back. So I think it is the stop tha...

mran1126

And, Griff, if it is the cartridge stop, what is the fix? I have the same rifle in a .44 mag and it works flawlessly. I wish this .357 was as reliable. I read about a similar problem someone had like this.....intermittent cartridge stop problem. He just said he did some filing and tweaking to fix it...

mran1126

First round was fired....still in chamber. Locked up closed. .357 was the cartridge. I did dump out the loose cartidges, so there is a fired one in the chamber and probably the second one is jammed under the carrier. I went through almost a whole box before this happened......Pretty sure it's a cart...

mran1126

Hand loads. But it might go through 2 boxes before it jams. This is a .357. I also have a Braztch .44 mag. All handloads and it has never had any kind of problem..

mran1126

How far would I have to break down my Rossi to get a jammed receiver fixed. Pretty sure a cartridge slipped by the cartridge stop. Had five cartridges in it. Fired first one. All jammed up. Can't open the bolt. Everything is jammed tight. Just wondered how far it might need to be taken apart to get ...

mran1126

I compared my .44 mag carrier stop to my .357 carrier stop....the .44 mag is completely flat until it meets the small stop at the back.......but my .357 carrier has a little rise on the left side where it meets the stop at the back. Just wondering if that was normal for the smaller case or not. It s...

mran1126

Thanks, Jeff. Yes....mine jammed after a fired round..couldn't open it to eject the fired one....locked up closed. I'll try to observe things more closely when I try some different bullets......and the ones that jammed were .38's. Just strange that it started after so long a time.......must have had...

mran1126

Thanks for your advice. The thing is.......this gun worked fine for two summers of shooting........then the problem started. And I shot several bullet shapes through it. And Yes.....it is totally locked up when this happens and needs to be taken apart to get all the rounds out. Couldn't open the act...

mran1126

Sorry....Rossi Puma. I also have a Braztech .44 mag. Never a problem with it. Shoots everything smooth as butter.

mran1126

Just wondering what the most likely cause might be. Happened twice so far. First time gunsmith said he bent the cartridge stop a little. That lasted about 35 rounds. Happened again. 2nd gunsmith couldn't find anything obvious to fix. Told me he saw a big ding on the swc bullet. Told me to try more r...

Can the same dies load the .38 long colt and the .38 special?

mran1126

I kind of just learned on my own by watching videos.........reading ........buying just some basic tools. Lots of information on the internet. Just take time to look and learn.....then just try it. Tandy has instructional videos on their site too.

mran1126

It's my own design. I just like that general fit and look. Just takes a while to get a good pattern. Fun to design different looking loops and different colored dyes. Thanks for all your comments.

mran1126

This might work.

mran1126

Sorry..I have't put a photo in here for a while.......still trying to get it to show.........

This is the 2nd holster that I've made. It's for my Ruger Vaquero .45. Thought you might like to see it. <a href="http://s844.photobucket.com/albums/ab2/mran1126/?action=view&current=DSCN1310.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i844.photobucket.com/albums/ab2/mran1126/...

I pretty much taught myself. You Tube is a good source of information. And Tandy has videos you can see too. Got my leather and a few other supplies at local Tandy store. $78 total expense and so far I have made those 3 items and have leather and supplies left to make a few more things. Leather was ...

mran1126

Thanks for all your replies. The fun part of doing leather work is that you can make it JUST the way you want it. And, of course there is a learning curve. I made a few mistakes but nothing too serious. Just need to think ahead a lot. That holster came out fitting the Vaquero like a glove. Thanks ag...

mran1126

This winter I did a few leather projects. My first time working with leather. Middle sheath was the first one....then holster and lastly the knife sheath on the left. Just takes a few simple tools and a little research.
