Got the right screw from Numrich…..good to go here

zoner

Wanted to report back on this project. I was 100% successful. I located the mount where i wanted it then glued and clamped the mount to my reciever with rtv silicone. Then used a Vix bit on a drill press to mark the first hole. Removed the mount and cleaned up the rtv(easy) then drilled and tapped t...

ok.....I found and ordered the plug screw I need this morning at Numrich. The first time I looked there I didn't find it but went back today and changed y search inquiry and it came right up. Thanks everyone for helping me out with info. You guys are great!

I need a plug screw or a set screw for that front hole….iif anyone has one or knows where I can get one I’d appreciate the info……Mike. I’m replacing a Lyman tang sight with a reciever mounted sight and need to plug that front hole

zoner

I should have been more clear......I need diameter and thread pitch for the front screw not the rear one that goes all the way thru to the lower tang. The front screw is smaller in diameter and only about 1/4" long

zoner

Does anybody know what size machine screw and thread pitch Winchester used for tang screws on a mid-1940's Model 94 carbine? so far I know it's not 10/32 and it's not 1/4-20 and seriously doubt it's metric.

zoner

Still have the rear sight and elevator. The rifle is 1942 vintage caliber 32 Special

When I did my Rossi R92 I used the Williams peep mount for a "template". Located the sight here I wanted it then glued the mount to the receiver with RTV silicone. After a 24 hr set time then used a drill bit in the drill press that fit the forward screw hole perfectly to dimple the receiv...

Thanks Walt…..that’s exactly the info i was after

I want to install a 5D to my Winchester M94. The rifle was made before Winchester started drilling and tapping holes for the side mount peep. I have already been successful locating,drilling, and tapping a Rossi R92 for a 5D. On the Rossi I pretty much located the holes where I thought they should g...

I have a 16" 357 and it too was very difficult to load. I thinned the loading gate spring some and while the gate was out stoned the inside edge of the loading port. Those edges were sharp as a razor and combined with the overly strong gate spring would grab the brass case like a vice. There wa...

I shoot the Hornet in a Contender Carbine. Mine started as a Hornet but I had it re-chambered to 22 KHornet. It's a great cartridge in a short,light,easy to carry carbine. Lots of folks try to squeeze a little more velocity from the Hornet by re-chambering but in my case the re-chambering was about ...

I have one compact 9MM. Mines a Smith and Wesson Shield. The slide is somewhat hard to cycle by hand but not impossible. I replaced the factory sear with a hard sear and got the trigger break at 4.5-5 lbs. Replaced the front sight with a Novak tritium sight. It's reliable with most any decent ammo. ...

I have a 357 magnum Rossi with 16" barrel also

zoner

I did the same with my 16" 357 Magnum. I ended up working on that spring 3 times to get it right. I also did the loading port, replaced the mag follower, and shortened the mag spring. After all that it was still harder to load ammo than it should be. I got to looking around and noticed these ma...

So I found a Ruger Bisley last week on a local forum(I'm in San Diego). Called the seller and he agreed to come to me to do a PPT. I got a 6 1/2" blued Bisley Single Six chambered in 32 H+R Magnum. This revolver has been fired very little. It came with a box of "stuff".....new Redding...

I shoot a Rossi 357 levergun. It's mostly a range gun and shoots mostly cast. I don't cast myself but the rifle really likes Missouri Bullets 140 gr TC coated. `I shoot em in 357 cases over a medium dose of HS6. These bullets want to go in the same hole at 50 yds

zoner

I have a KHornet.....a converted Hornet. Never fired factory ammo in it. Reloads only

zoner

I reserve the Lil Gun I have for my 22 KHornet. I'm sure it works great in 357 mag loads. My 357 Mag loads(for a rifle) are mid range loads with 158 gr RNFP PB coated with HS-6 and Full power loads with 158 gr XTP HP and 296. Works for me

I've had good luck with the PP Hornet brass. I fireform it to 22 KHornet.....

zoner

My 22 rimfire rifle is easy open Contender frame with 21"22lr Match barrel. The scope is Weaver K3 and works perfect for the shots I take (0-50 yds) with that rifle. Over 50 yds I move up to the 22 KHornet.

I have 2 HD shotguns. First a 18" barreled Mossberg 500A(12 gauge) pump with the Magpul SGA buttstock and Hogue overmoulded forend. Dual action bars, metal safety button and Meprolight tritium bead sight. 5 in the tube,1 in the chamber, I feel pretty safe. The second is a Ithaca M37 12 gauge pu...

I have the Lyman tang sight on my 1942 M94 32 Special. My pick for a front sight is a XS post type front sight. It is flat topped, black, .100 wide post with a .040 white stripe. The flat top makes indexing elevation much easier than a bead. A lot easier to see(for me). The white stripe helps with w...

ndcowboy, my trigger spring came in the mail today. Replacing the spring took about ten minutes start to finish,including disassembling and reassembling the action to stock. Did all the safety checks and everything is good. My trigger break went from 5.5-6 lbs to a very nice 3.25 break. Cost me $6.9...

after doing some research i just ordered a Winchester Model 70 target trigger spring from a place called ernie's gunsmithing. I'm gonna replace the factory Compass spring with the model 70 spring and see what i get, and of course make sure the safety still works like it's supposed to. Will report ba...

zoner

they will work

mine came to me adjusted all the way down too. Havent put a gauge on it but it feels like about 4lbs to me. After looking at it if the trigger needs more work i'd be tempted to try replacing that spring with a lighter(thinner wire) one and then try adjusting it but i still havent been to the range w...

there are some good gun deals out there. On Black Friday i picked up a TC Compass bolt gun for $199 after rebate. I got a 223, didn't need it but the price,adjustable trigger, and 100 yd MOA guarantee kind of got the best of me. Doing a camo krylon job on the stock today.

if it's a kitchen sink drain you should be able to poke out the clog with 6' of snake or less....if it takes more snake than that the clog will be in the main line. First run your snake in the cleanout thats outside....easiest thing to do and you might clear it there. If that doesn't work then pull ...

zoner

when a kitchen sink clogs up first check the trap....the s curve shaped plpe directly under the sink drain. If the plug isn't there it will be where the sink line(verticle) connects to the sewer main(horizontal). About 3' of snake should unplug it. If your "plumbing access" outside means a...

Posted a pic of my carbine.....easy open frame,357 mag barrel,Weatherby 2x7x36 scope, TC rynite stock with Krylon camo paint job and a Blackhawk Cheek riser. I like wood stocks but the synthetic stock keeps the overall weight of the carbine around 5.5 lbs. I have two other barrels set up for this fr...

FWIW I recently bought a new MGM 21" blued 357 magnum Contender barrel. 16 grains of 296 and the XTP 158 gr HP did a 3 shot 3/4" group at 100yds

when my eyes started to go bad i went from the factory irons to a Lyman tang peep sight on my 1942 Winchester M94....accuracy wise the difference was night and day. I can do 2" 3 shot groups at 100 yds on my good days. I can't do that with factory irons....Mike

first off,i don't like plastic guns. That being said i do own one and it's my carry gun. Its a 9mm S+W Shield. The trigger break was a bit heavy so i replaced the factory sear with one from Apex tactical....$40 i think...didn't replace any springs etc, just the sear. I decided another good mod would...

About ten years ago we bought a new single wide mobile home and set it up in a over 55 "resort" in Apache Junction, AZ. My in-laws had been there about 5 years before we moved in and the first thing my FIL cautioned me about was ti shake out your shoes real good before you put em on. Still...

i believe the Rossi M92 has a oversize front dovetail so standard dovetail sights will be loose. Contact Steve Jones at stevesgunz....he's the M92 expert and has sights wthe oversize dovetail for sale/

looks like i'm the odd man out here. My Hornet is a Contender Carbine with 21" tapered barrel and 2x7 Leupold. I can do a 3 shot 1" group at 100 yds with my 34 gr Midway Dogtown HP over 12.5 grs Lil Gun. Short,accurate, weighs in at 5.5lbs. Lots of guys don't like single shots but the fact...
