Travis, now why would you assume all that about me? I initially responded by defending myself but then decided to start over and just type this. You are 100% wrong about who paid for what in my life and how I got where I am. And you are defending that swapping out a faulty thermocouple on a stove is...

Just bought one today, Chevy Silverado 4X4, small V8. Traded in a Chevy Silverado 2003 with 104000+ on it.....only problems ..lets see, 2 u joints went bad. Before that a 1998 Chevy Cheyenne with 108000+, had the coil go out on me at 80000. Before that a Toyota with 103000, that I had to replace the...

If you like the shorts but they wont feed, try the longs. They are loaded to short velocity but I find they feed better in repeating rifles than shorts do. I have some CCI longs stashed away, it used to be the ammo of choice for me in my Remington 514 rifle when I hunt squirrels, lately I have been ...

There is another thread posted about forum etiquette and I dont want to hijack that.., but I do want to post this. This site is really great, obviously due to the members. I specifically want to mention 2 of them. A couple of years ago W30WCF graciously sent me some 45-75 cast bullets to try out in ...

Awhile back there was a forum that is now out of business....been gone for several years now so i guess I can name it. several of you may remember shooterstalk. They had a great BP cartridge section but eventually it got so "cliqueish" that i finally gave up on it. Questions I or other &qu...

NICE!!! I just love handcrafted items. With all the work you put into it, I would either go ahead and buy a couple of lapidary drill bits...cant be that much money, or maybe experiment with glass drilling bits from the big box store. Most glass is silicon dioxide or a variant, as is jade, onyx, and ...

Alas!! No 45-75 yet!

Okay, here is the request. How do you like the Marbles sight? Better than the Lyman???

I once spotted for my brother when he was shooting his 1885 high wall repro in 40-65 and his sharps repros at about 800 to 1000 yards. Using 10X50 binoculars with the sun behind me it was occasionally possible to see the slug, while watching the targets, drop in from the top of the binocular field a...

The number 4 was last cataloged in 1943 according to the book "Old Gunsights". There should be an application code on the underside of the sight, the book lists the codes meanings. What gun is your sight mounted on???

6-pt, reply is sent, let me know if you dont receive it.
Good idea guys about posting a bid immediately...I will have to do that from now on...never thought about being locked in once you do that. However, there WAS 1 bid on the item when it was closed....

Arrgh!!! It happened again! FINALLY on gunbroker there are Hornady 200 GN flatpoints for the 33 Winchester. 3 boxes in fact. There is NO "But it now" posted, so I save the auction (it is a 14 day auction...I saw it with 13 1/2 days left). I check it 2 days later and it is listed as ended w...

coyote nose

Neat Ted! Okay, so how do you make them? Just squirt the glue into the mould through the sprue plate? Should you lube up the mould first? I dont want to risk ruining my mould, how do they release out of there?

coyote nose

I wonder if there would be a faster way to do the job with a jig holding about ten bullets and using an end mill? Maybe, but a lathe collet holds the bullets around the circumference and wont distort the bullet, within reason. At work today I set up a collet stop in an 11/32 collet, touched off the...

Have a thread going on shipping antique guns to California. I am wondering what states, if any, consider antique guns to be treated like modern guns. I have heard Michigan does not recognize antique guns as a special category, and thus you need FFL transfer for these. I have checked on line and cann...

coyote nose

Thanks for all the info guys, but no one has specifically addressed the question LOL

!! ANTIQUE FIREARMS. Made before 1899. Do these things mentioned above also apply to antique guns?

coyote nose

hillbillygunsmith, do these rules apply to antique guns too?

coyote nose

Just read a description of an 1873 antique for sale on gunbroker, the seller states "No California Sales". I am curious, what is the law out there on the left coast? Are you guys not allowed to have antique guns shipped to you????

coyote nose

Mike, Colt put serial numbers on those brass parts...you may be able to read them and get even more history out of that gun.

coyote nose

hondo1892, I suggest you go on gunbroker.com. then click on "how do i sell" at the top. Once there go to the third or 4th paragraph where they have "firearm Shipping Guide" highlighted in blue. Click on that and read it, it answers all of your questions.

coyote nose

jnyork, the primer is .210, so i guess i should take more off. The only thing, some factory ammo for lever action guns are round nose, and that does rest on the primer. I thought spreading out the contact area was enough...ie: I didnt have to go bigger than the primer. What do you use to modify your...

coyote nose

Okay, since Hornady 200 GN FN 338's are no longer to be found, I have read that several of you are using the 200 gn hornady spire point that you file the tip off of to get a flat nose. I got a box, chucked one in my lathe collet and wound up taking 0.225" off of the tip. This got the flat area ...

Is it a 92? Gun Smiths suggestion is the way to go unless you have a hard time having gun parts shipped to Peru. Are they strict down there????

coyote nose

It's different. What happens to the metal underneath the lead over time? Even with the cold-blue treatment, will the lead oxidize over time? Good post. Thanks for the pics. Well, I dont know what happens long term, but I did this to a Winchester 1890 once and about 3 years later when i sold it, I t...

Sixgun...I just sold a Colt lightning rifle in 32-20, but it didnt have set triggers. i love those rifles though. Gunsmith, I didnt think of taking it out as a unit...hmmm...but next time I have to take them individually apart as IF the gun shoots..the bolt will be reblued and the lever case colored...

The only people that know how many I have are close friends. I don't go around spreading the info I too try to keep my gun profile low, but during lunch breaks where I work I am often making little things for my hobbies...gun parts included. People thus see what i am doing and also see the magazine...

I put tang sights on all my old levers. I thus need to fill the rear sight slot, and dont care too much for the big slot fillers you can buy. I thus do this trick I learned off of my brother. You can do this on round barrels as well as octagon. Place the gun firmly in a padded vise. I have done this...

I get asked frequently "How many guns do you have?" by non gun owning friends/enemies/acquaintences. How do you guys handle this? I went from saying "Not enough", to saying "Oh just a few" to my current answer of "Thats like me asking you how much money you have in...

Just bought the gun...I will see how it shoots and if it shoots good it will become my "dream gun" ie: turnbull for case color, I'll blue the barrel, etc, I have NICE wood for it.. It is a rifle, received in warehouse Dec 28, 1905, shipped out July 2, 1906. 33 WCF Sixgun, I dont understand...

So I only spent about 1/2 hour trying to figure out how in the world to get that darn magazine tube off of my Model 1886 33 WCF...until i tried turning it out! Yep...screwed in. None of my disassembly books mentioned that...one even said it just "pulls right out". BTW...anybody who says th...

I have two full boxes of Winchester 38 Short Rimfire. I'd like to know date of manufacture. Box number one is on top, it has green paper top and red on the side. The second one also has green on the top but has an orange side label. Note the patent date of Stetsons patent. On the one box it is Octob...

Dont reload the balloon head cases! They are weaker, and on top of that, mercury was in the priming compound back then, this made the cases brittle for reloading. Besides that, collectors will pay for those cases. i'd either keep them as neat old cases, or take them to the next gun show and find a d...

coyote nose

Yes. I wonder if the norma rounds have the bevel?? My measurement took the bevel into account.

coyote nose

C Cash, yes the taper is different..but nothing a sizing die could not take out (heck...45-70 is straight and it gets reformed into 33 WCF). Diameter at shoulder of 33 WCF is about .440", the russian round is .460" or about 0.010"/side. Ben, I get .058 on my Russian cases, .065" ...

Just picked up an 1886 in 33 WCF...more on that in a later post. Anyway, was going thru my misc ammo collection trying to see if I had any 33 WCF cases. Did see 2 rounds that sure looked like it, but it turns out they are Russian 7.62 X 53R rounds. (According to Barnes it is sometimes called the 7.6...

Here is a photo of the thingie that holds the lever closed. When you close the loading lever, it goes INSIDE and THROUGH the triangular part of the lever, and the flare on the tip snaps through the triangular part and literally snaps the loading lever shut. http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l299/coy...

Good post modoc Ed. Make sure you clean out the bore VERY good after using these...this stuff is supposed to be really corrosive.

I put them in those little ziploc plastic bags, along with the receiver screws that had to be removed, the old sight, the elevator, etc. I then blast a shot of WD40 in the bag, seal it up, and with a black sharpies pen i put the gun model and serial number on the bag, then store them with other part...

coyote nose

Jreed, your 58 Rem is 44 caliber, so you'd have to make a different taper form to hold more powder and the bigger ball. I use 18 because that is the charge I usually shoot in my navy. The taper kind of determines how deep the ball will seat in the paper, which in turn determines how much powder it c...

Thanks for the link Hobie. I see the 18th participated in the fetterman fight. Interesting. Visited that site in Wyoming about 10 years ago.

I get quite a few questions at the range on this, figured maybe you guys would be interested in one way to make paper cartridges for cap and ball revolvers.

A 66 for 2400???????? I have not seen one for under 3.5 K in about 4 years. What condition? musket, rifle, or carbine? I sold, about 4 months ago, a 38-55 Winny in the 11xxx range for about 900-1000 (part of a swap for an 1873 so hard to figure actual price) at an ohio gun show. maybe I should head ...

I am with you guys, so dont take this the wrong way...but here in Ohio (and I know elsewhere) most game laws are designed to get the state money and NOT for the welfare of the animal population.

Okay, so I assume then, based on this input, that an octagon bbl was never offered in 33WCF. I have Madis book but cannot find this in it. I definitely want Winchester brand and not Browning, and am avoiding the new ones because of the safety and the triggers. Now, do the old Nickel steel barrels ta...

coyote nose

Sounds reasonable...I am leaning towards the 33 WCF. I dont like pistol grips on my levers. Just my preference, i prefer straight stocks on them, so making a 71 into my dream gun is not the way to go. It has to be an 1886. Didnt know the 348 requires carrier modification in an 1886 and frankly I don...
