Thanks for the education Jim. Not to mention that salvaging lead from batteries is an extremely messy job and a sure way to destroy what you are wearing. Its not worth the end result as a weekends work will result in a hundred pounds of nasty toxic lead. Its so much easier to go to the gunclub on an...

The overwhelming majority of my hunting and competitive rifles date from the middle 1880's to around the late twenties. My most accurate is a HiWall in 40-82 built in 1893. ---------Sixgun

Bill Clinton and the liberals are to blame. Remember Bill saying, "If it feels good, do it.!?". Also, having laws jammed down our throats that embrace and force us to mingle with people we do not feel comfortable with also has a lot to do with it. The weak minded people will bow down and a...

OK this is a little OT of the OT post but what the heck. Has anyone ever converted or modifyied their bandsaws to cut metal. I'd like to cut aluminum on mine, on occasion, and I tried it once. Blade speed must be too high cause it just burned up the blade and didn't cut worth a hoot. I see about th...

So where do you get linotype? Mike, 'ya gotta be real lucky to get linotype as it is not used anymore. A couple of years ago I got lucky when I was in this gunshop shooting the bull about casting and this guy came up to me and said he had 5 or 6 thousand pounds of the stuff. I followed him home and...

Pretty neat. I think the "Manhatten Project" needs to be resurrected in the Middle East. Whats with the tomahawk? Did he also work in interrogation. You know, chop chop

As for tailgaters, I think we just learned a practical use for zinc wheelweights.

Ted, Been there and done that. The zinc wheelweights tend to only crack glass. I prefer to have items of heavy mass for complete penetration

The question is, where do you get a huge chunck of Lino like that? :? Ted, In its day, thats the mould design that was used to melt down linotype. Then it was made into type. (and melted over and over) Its a pain in the butt to put in a casting furnace, hence, the bandsaw method. :D ---------------...

Ji, Thanks very much for posting such peaceful and cool pics. For a minute there, I thought I was watching the National Geographic Channel.

Thanks Hobie, I think faking has gotten so good that it takes a scientific evaluation to tell. (composition of the brass). Yea, that knuckleduster is cool. The new Flaydermans has it at close to 2 g's. I sure would not want to trust my life on it though. Without a barrel, the velocities are probably...

Dudes, My good friend Tom at Targetmaster got in a mess of Civil War period handguns along with some belt buckles. I know my Winchesters but Civil War stuff has been faked so much over the years, I am not confident of my evaluations. The guns he got in are no-brainers but does anyone here have knowl...

Easy way to tell is that if they look like modern junk, they are modern and if they look classy with a nice satin blue, they are old. For real, the new ones, especially the Marbles are great and are 100% functional but the color of the blue matches new guns where the originals will match the blue of...

Sixgun

That sounds about right. When you think about it, what does $400 buy today? For me, its about 2 months worth of electricity. I would ask for 4 and a quarter and say the price is negotiable-----------Sixgun

p.s--Someone here ought to pick up on that.

The "P" with a circle around it denotes a mail order original factory barrel. Some 'smith ordered & installed it. As for value, depends, a lot depends on the amount of buffing on the metal from the reblue job, type of reblue job, wood to metal fit, mechanics, etc. One G? I personally w...

Thats right guys. I bought this baby when they cost a lot. Paid $350 for it and took close to 3K pictures with it. I also paid about the same for the Ruger #843 FT, but that was about 15 years ago.

For actual shooting I prefer pistol grips. For aesthetics, I like straight. That's why you have to have several examples of each. :wink: Ted, Me too. A pistol grip gives more control. The top silhouette shooters I have seen use pg Model 64's but the look of a straight grip is the one I like. BTW- n...

I really liked Pete's answer. I agree with Griff. Every now and then, I take the scale to the sink and spray it down with Simple Green, Windex, or some other cleaner. Then I wash it down real good with hot water. Don't get the panholder wet because like Tycer says, thats the part that holds the lead...

Thanks Jimbo! As that is a very small crack to see, I might have not noticed. My shooters are all N-frames, several with close to 10K. I'll give 'em a better look----------------Sixgun

If this one works, than they all must work. Its an old Marbles adapter for shooting the 25 ACP out of the 25-35. Probably made back in the twenties or thirties. The 25 ACP slips in on top of the adapter. Has it's own built in firing pin. I have an 8" gong out back that is 140 yards away. If I h...

Driving fast in bad conditions is something I never could understand. I have been known to throw items out the window at cars who are riding my bumper. Tissues work great!

Thank you for the input, gentlemen. I have handled the rifle, so I'm beyond the picture stage. Sixgun's comment strike a chord, because the action is a bit sticky - the lever really has to worked with authority to activate the lifter. Also, the hammer seems a bit sloshy, and the half-cock can't eve...

Instead of inside neck reaming, I stuck the base of the cases in a chuck and while they were rotating, thinned the outside of the neck by lightly holding a fine flat file against the side of the neck as they were rotating, moving the file slowly up and down the neck at the same time. This worked fi...

I don't want to sound like a 'know it all" but geeze, I have been at this game for over 35 years and I enjoy passing along what I have learned to other shootists. The 32-40 is actually .321. It uses the same bullet as the 32 Spl. I suppose 8mm bullets could be used but they will be .002 over, t...

It has a lot to do with challenges of the mind, personal curiousity, and of course, male ego. The common calibers have never interested me like the "off" ones have. I currently have the capabilities to load over 60 different calibers. (keep in mind I have been doing this since I was 18 and...

Sixgun

Thanks to all of you for the advice and sharing your experiences. Sixgun, how did you determine the size of the reamer you needed to do the inside neck reaming? I thought about sizing the neck to .406 and measuring the outside diameter of the case, then measuring the diameter of the with the larger...

I can reload 100 30-30's for about $8. That does not include the many hours casting and sizing my own bullets or the 6 million dollars I have in reloading and casting equipment.

Different rifles chambered for 40-82's, like 40-65's have different groove diameters. The ones I have owned and loaded for have never been able to chamber a bullet larger than .408.

I started shooting CAS in '93. Lots of fun, the commaderie is fantastic, the targets are easy AND it gets lots of folks who are not gung-ho gun people into the sport of shooting and joining the NRA, SASS, and various gun rights organizations.

Very hard to put a price on an antique without actually having it in one's hands. As we all know, originality comes first. You say its all original. Does it have a "clean look". That means clean lines with no unpleasant blemishes, noticable pitting, excellent fitting wood, blue (or patina)...

I'm third with Hobie--There is a slim possibility it was a gun chambered for the 32-20 and the guy was shooting 32 S&W's short or longs out of it, which it will do, but won't feed 'em from the mag. . A 32-20 will even fire 32 acp but won't eject 'em.-------------Sixgun

Way to go Nath! very nice pictures and like the other boys have said, very nice pelts. Tell me, did you weigh them? The dog looks heavy and the vixen looks about "right", maybe 10-12 lbs. I could, and probably am wrong. I shot one years ago with a 33 Winchester and it weighed 18 lbs. The t...

It should, at a maximum, shoot into 3 or 3 and 1/2" at 100 yds. Say, about 2 to 2 and 1/2 at 50. Properly tailored ammo could easily cut those distances in half. My antique Winchesters, Marlin and Colt will all do 3" at 100. The Colt, made in '88 will do 2" These group sizes are my cr...
