I had one put on the guide gun. I was leaving on a job and left it with a smith to put on. I don't know what he did besides fitting it, maybe a little filing. When I tried it it was so light I immediately took it off. Years later I put it back but I never take my thumb off the hammer spur until I'm ...

19 members of a 20 man crew were killed Sunday.

Local news showed the convoy bringing the bodies to Phoenix and the people along the road hono...

There's an article on it in the 2013 Gun Digest, got mine at Walmart.
Basically a .223 chamber has to be reamed slightly to shoot 5.56 like Griff said.

I tried both the 92 and 86 Moruku's. With a cartridge in the chamber making the firing pin flush with the rear of the bolt does not touch the primer. I had to push the pin about 1/8" into the bolt before I felt it touch. I think I'm going to trim the rebound strut, because 86's are famous for l...

Sounds like a trip to the store. I gotta see that.

You might want to slug them. I have a Moroku/Winchester in 44-40 sitting here that slugs .429 instead of .427. Makes sense since they also made it in .44 mag. Why would they make .427 barrels when they already have .429's on the shelf. I'm not complaining. All I need is a .44 mag expander plug and t...

I've got two Moruku's to do, an '86EL and a takedown '92. I do want to keep the safety for unloading. I not sure if I even need a half cock. On the ancient '92 I have the firing pin protrudes onto the primer with the hammer down but the new ones use rebounding firing pins. If I hit the hammer spur o...

williamranks

I'm curious. How difficult would it be to cut a half cock notch in the Winchester hammer?
Would it need to be heat treated afterwards?
Did you lighten the hammer spring or just cut off the rebound finger or both?

Barrel markings are important. If the caliber has been changed it's a rebore and worth less. I have a '92 sporting rifle in 25/20 built in 1894 but, on top of the barrel hear the receiver is an oval with a P inside. That means it has a genuine Winchester barrel that was mailed to a gunsmith. On the ...

Another thing I don't miss. Back in the late '60's or early '70's the country went through another recession and there was no electrical work to be had in the Bangor area. I ended up cutting pulp wood for the year down in Plantation #8 on the back side of Ellsworth Falls, near Graham Lake. Since I o...

If someone smarter that I am can make it work I'll email it to you.

I posted an article about tube mag safety from a old Gun Digest somewhere, must have been Marlin Owners and I can't even remember my login over there.

I try to stop there every time I work the Seabrook power plant. One year I came home with an 86 extra light barely used for $800. Another year I found a new BL-22 field grade, with the nickel receiver, well below retail. I like that they have a smith in the store to mount a scope while you wait.

I used Blue Wonder on a 100 year old Winnie. The barrel was put on in 1929. When I started the rifling looked very shallow. After 2 treatments the rifling was deep and clean. I could even see the fine scratches on the lands from someone using steel cleaning rods. Use it outdoors, lots of black goop ...

And another thing. I'm a fan of Lee Child's books about Jack Reacher. In the books Reacher is a former MP standing 6'5" and weighing 250. My idea of the ideal hero, few normal feelings and, under stress or danger none. So who does Hollywood pick to play him in the new movie? Tom Cruise.

Let's see. I started school at Westfield, south of Brockton, on Lake Erie. Saw lots of Welch's grapevines.
Then we moved to Muitzeskill, south of Castleton, for a few years.
Then Gallupville, near Schoharie, until I was 15. Then Maine until I could afford to move somewhere warm.

I've got a Kahr P40. After I bought it I went to the Kahr website and bought a factory compensated barrel for $100. It makes a big difference on a .40 S&W that weighs 16 oz empty.

I've got the FLD BL-22 with nickel plate. The short lever throw is great, leave your thumb on top of the stock and flick your fingers to operate the lever. Almost as fast as an auto. Don't try the lever flick at port arms, the hammer will pinch the web of your hand.

I've seen a few posts about the barrel nut loosening up. Any chance it's been Loctited? If so the heat from a soldering iron will release the thread sealant.

Darn. I was hoping for a scope that would fit through a spark plug hole. Have you tried cleaning the barrel thoroughly and putting a few lapping rounds through it?
