Just type in LCP Holsters and do a search. Lots of LCP holsters available on Amazon and eBay. Probably others -- stopped looking after those two.

I have owned six 10/22's, blue and stainless. All of them had problems such as failing to extract rounds, failure to fire, firing when the bolt was dropped to load the chamber, VERY poor triggers, etc. Some were accurate after repairs some were not. Sold or traded all of them. Have a CZ bolt action ...

I exchanged emails with Lenn yesterday. He has been having health issues and is discouraged about not being able to do the things he used to do. Those are the things we have all enjoyed and envied the ability to think them up then build them. He hasn't been looking at the forum for a while. I passed...

I can't give you any advice on fixing that LCP II 22. I bought one new, had the same problems you are having. Tried 8 different brands/types of cartridges, nothing would work for more than one or two shots. I tried two new magazines with the same poor results. Called Ruger and ended up sending the g...

We bought a CVA single shot in 35 Remington for my son to use during the Louisiana 'primative' season. Using a 3X9X50 Vortex scope, he has proven several times that a handloaded 200 grain Hornady round nose will shoot very close to an inch at 100 yards and will kill whitetail deer very well. So does...

That's some really good looking ammo! You are more than welcome!

I just installed a 44 Special cylinder in a Uberti .44/40 Model-P (Cattleman) sold by Cimarron. You will have to fit the ratchet end to set cylinder gap, and you will have to fit the cylinder bushing. It is not a simple drop-in. Done correctly you can come out with a nice tight cylinder.

Pull forward to unlatch the cylinder. Swing out and push back to eject empties just like any other double action revolver.

I recently shipped 45 Pounds of books by USPS Media Mail. Bought the boxes at UPS Store for $2.00 each. Shipping by Media Mail was about 1/3 of the cost to go with UPS cheapest rate. They estimated 10 days from Louisiana to Vermont.

Around 1975 I was in the Navy stationed in San Diego. Went in one of the big 'carry-some-of-everything' stores and in the Sporting Goods department saw a SALE sign on a stack of ammo. When I got closer I saw that it was Remington brand .22 WRF. However, there was an ominous sign above the stack stat...

I purchased a Model 1400 MkII in 1979 to shoot skeet. Put many hundreds of rounds through it with no problem. In about 1998 I bought a second used 1400 in case I needed parts. Basically I now have two Model 1400's and have had no problems with either of them. Cleaning every 200 to 300 rounds has kep...

Pitchy, my father-in-law shaved using a mug and brush for as long as I knew him. I tried making the lather in the mug, too. My father-in-law told me I was doing it all wrong. He showed me his technique and it worked. Wet the brush with warm water, then rub it around the soap in the mug to get soap o...

WM is doing that in Louisiana, too. Academy Sports has an even better one: Proof of age required to purchase BB's, Hoppe's #9, and Magpul AR-15 magazines. That is my list so far. Anybody know when all this nonsense started? Why?

When without electricity I use an Inverter, 12V to 110 AC. It works fine. I have run my CPAP all night off my truck battery, and the truck easily started the next day and recharged as it was driven. I have thought about using a deep cycle marine battery for the purpose. However you do it, the import...

This is a fantastic project! I'm sure everyone would like to see some in-progress photo's as you restore this rifle. That will be one lucky grandchild!

My son purchased one in .35 Remington about a year ago to meet the Louisiana requirements for a "primitive weapon". The scope was passable until it was involved in the huge flood we had down here last August. Now you cannot see anything through it. But, the rifle produced consistent 1"...

Am I the only one that finds this format a pain to deal with? Different colors, faint lines, odd placement of things. Good grief. Of course it could just be that I am getting old and cranky and can't handle change. Whatever it is that is being done, I thank you for the forum anyway.

You might need a heavier buffer in your AR. Had a similar experience with a pistol gas system in my 16 inch Blackout AR and carbine buffer. Installed H3 Buffer and it cured all the functioning and brass damage problems.

I'm not the one who had the Jap rifle in the classifieds, but I did send you a PM concerning available rifles.

Check with Rob Leahy at Simplyrugged.com. Nice heavy weight belts that will certainly allow you carry your concealed weapon.

Thank you so much for this. God is worth it!

Don't want to rain on the parade but the vintage drawing is an Enfield not a Webley. Webleys did not have the sideplate. The diagram at lower left has the 'Enfield' name on it. Just say'n.

After shooting lots of corrosive ammo in many guns, nothing gets the salts out better than hot water. The solvent will get the fouling out. Use hot water, some say with a little dish detergent poured down the barrel using a small funnel followed by patches and then clean hot water. The hot water hea...

Jones County, MS is said by locals to have seceded from the Confederacy. I suspect the movie is about Newton Knight who created a group that was against the Confederacy. Lots of stories in Jones County about the subject. Whether there was an actual secession is questionable. Google Newton Knight for...

Probably misspoke earlier about GI pouches. I have several, thought they are still available at gunshows and such. Did an internet search and found several companies making 20-round sized pouches. You should be able to find a style that suits you. Here are just a couple: ProTech Double Short M4 Maga...

The picture of the two Ruger Old Armies sure do have Ruger emblems. The two 'customized' revolvers don't have emblems or Ruger grips. They are 1858 Remington designs.

rgates

Aren't the two modified BP revolvers 1858 Remington rather than Ruger 'Old Army'? Don't see the three screws in the frame that the Ruger should have. Cylinder pin sure looks Remington. Just say'n.

MSRP = $499.00 OR get a real gun --> S&W 642 .38 Special, pocket holster and box of ammo. I handled these at a gunshow 4 or 5 months ago and cannot see a reason to want one much less spend nearly $500 for it.

Thunder, you forgot the cost of something to measure powder. Yeah, I know that the Lee Loaders come with dippers. I started out reloading for a 7X57 MM Mauser in the 60's with a Lee Loader. Worked okay with the dipper. However, later I was married, in the military and obtained my first Ruger Blackha...

Nath, if you don't mind, what is that sling on your levergun? I have been looking for something just like that.

Take a look at Rob Leahy's Simply Rugged holsters. I use one for a J-frame 2-inch and it can be on your belt or inside waistband. No enlargement of pants is necessary. It can also be carried inside your belt but not inside waistband. At most that would involve letting your belt out one notch. Everyo...

I have replaced the same type spring using both ends of a hacksaw blade. Just grind out each side, stack and you have both arms. No tempering needed, and that single action saw thousands of rounds and never failed.

What bulging? I bought a 40 caliber Glock 22, 3rd Gen a year ago and have used 165 and 180 grain factory loads in it as well as 185 grain lead and plated bullets at about 975 FPS. Cases are not bulged any more than any of my other semi-autos. References I have read indicated bulging quite a few year...

I had an HK-91 for a while. I reloaded the brass with no problems. The main problem was finding the brass once fired. The empties would be hurled 10 to 15 yards! Overall a very enjoyable rifle.

Just wanted to mention that the LEE Factory Crimp die is a roll crimp. At least mine is. It has a carbide ring at the bottom that 'post sizes' the cartridge to make sure it is in spec to chamber in standard 45 Colt chamber.

Every gun is a law unto itself. Move your front sight to the left to get on target. You may need to move it a few thousandths left of center to get back some adjustment in your tang sight. Good luck.

The boxes are great! But, why print the date you loaded them? When you shoot them up, and reload them, you'll have to make another label. Just saying.
