Apropos of nothing, my favorite bumper sticker of all time said:

Envision Whirled Peas

Thanks

JayF in AZ

And the price of holes will go up too!

JayF in AZ

Amelia Peabody would love one of those.

JayF in AZ

Congrats!

Chilly in Phoenix today too, only 74

Any pictures?

A 1905 HE was made before they started heat treating. No way would I assume it's as strong as a 92 of any vintage. Back then they sold "rifle only" .32-20 loads and I'm sure more than a few were fired in handguns. I don't know if any blew up but I wouldn't want to do it

JayF in AZ

About 30 lbs of 1F ought to do it

I'm interested in this too, for my Winroku 86. I wonder if a tang sight would completely cover the safety slot?

JayF in AZ

Down here it's the summer that gets folks cranky

JayF in AZ

OTH, thanks for the nice pictures

The one I saw looks like this though:

Thanks for replying, I know it's really an impossible question. I was just looking fo a ballpark guess. After I posted here I did use google, and what I saw there looks like a trapdoor "forager" shotgun. As far as I can tell from the internet, if it's real it would be worth some pretty goo...

It was hanging on a wall a few feet behind a counter in a little antique shop. I was broke so I didn't ask to look it over. Wood looked original and the metal looked reblued. Assuming it has rifling and is mechanically ok, what are these things going for these days? I don't imagine it will be going ...

JayF in AZ

I found it at Wally World today in a two pack with Rio Lobo. I already had Selleck's version. Well worth getting the original too, thanks for starting the thread!

JayF in AZ

Not to mention back bacon and beer, eh?

JayF in AZ

I've been thinking about getting one. Does yours have the safety? Did you get rid of it if it does?

And what's that white stuff on the ground???

JayF in AZ

I got a chance to shoot it today. I had some hand loads sitting around from a few years ago, when I could afford to shoot in matches. These are commercial cast no doubt sized .451 or .452. The 230 gr lrn has a light charge of 700x and the 200 gr SWC has a mid range charge of Titegroup, all in mixed ...

JayF in AZ

Lots of good makers out there. You can't go wrong with Milt sparks. Takes a long time to get one though.

JayF in AZ

Did they ever make the old A-5 with a 3 inch chamber, and safe to shoot steel through?

JayF in AZ

Thanks Ben,

Mine is a pretty early one, delivered to the Army the week of Dec 8th, 1917, before Colt added that feature. The cartridges drop in way too far to be fired, I tried

JayF in AZ

Fantastic photo!

JayF in AZ

Thanks for all the interesting discussion guys. Perry, regarding the finish on mine, I suspect it was refinished after WWI and transferred from the Army to some other federal agency, like the post office. The Army also held on to some (both Colt and S&W) which were later arsenal reworked and par...

JayF in AZ

I will be shooting mostly cast out of it, as I've read that too. OTOH, Elmer also recommended a load for them with a 250 gr SWC and 7.5 gr of Unique! Basically Skeeter's load in a case with maybe 60% of the volume of the .44 special. I guess Skeeter wrote it up too, the in a later article admitted h...

I got lucky the other day and stumbled upon this very nice Colt 1917 revolver. http://farm4.staticflickr.com/3826/12053854055_5f4015f0f8_c.jpg Colt 1917 by JayinAZ , on Flickr I got it at a bargain price too. I'm planning on ordering this mold for it: http://www.accuratemolds.com/bullet_detail.php?b...

Looking forward to the range report!

Well if the whole internet crashes in about an hour, we'll know why

I know you were

I should have mentioned I have a partner, or we'd probably never get a shot doing this. We "surround" a tank as well as two guys can then pop up over the rim and hope they flush towards one or the other of us.

Me too, I always wanted one but never did get one.

Great shooting Nath.

JayF in AZ

Thanks for the kind words, guys. Earl, I'll probably make cajun duck and dumplings again, it turned out very good with the last duck I had. Nath, I do love my SxS guns too, but I don't have one that I can shoot steel shot with. And the softer alternatives are too expensive. I've had the Beretta for ...

JayF in AZ

I had another good day cruising the stock tanks looking for ducks. They're getting spooky. I think the ducks down here now have been shot at all the way from Canada. This is the only one out of about 3 dozen that was close enough to shoot at.

A 1943 vintage Colt Official Police in .38 Spl.

JayF in AZ

Not when I was that young, but at 16 I found a High Standard Double Nine under the tree. Still have it too

JayF in AZ

Cool.

Yeah I'd think its great hearing, not magnetic fields.

JayF in AZ

I have a few sets of lee dies and they're ok. My .38-40 seating die won't seat bullets to a uniform depth though. Kinda irritating.

JayF in AZ

You need to turn the heat up in that house

Looks like a great place.

JayF in AZ

If you're getting into front stuffers allow me to recommend the Dixie Gun Works catalog. Worth every penny as it's not just a catalog but a reference tome as well. When I was dumb teenager in my mountain man phase I learned just about all I needed to know about muzzleloading from it.

JayF in AZ

I have a DGW .32 flinter, and 20 gr of FFFg will push a ball out the muzzle at around 1900 fps.

JayF in AZ

Cool, thanks for pointing it out!

JayF in AZ

Sounds tasty to me

I must have very little ability to cope, since nostalgia is about all I find worth thinking about in this crazy world of today .

JayF in AZ

I think my Marlin 1894FG in .41 magnum would fill all those roles, especially with the 265 gr cast from a custom Mountain Mold. But I have more than one to choose from so I'd never limit myself to one

JayF in AZ

Nice pictures. It looks like a very nice park.

JayF in AZ

Amen.

JayF in AZ

Most of Whiskey Row burned down last year, I believe it was.

JayF in AZ

It's not a problem. It just means your bigger than "standard" bullets are hard enough to not be swaged down by the brass. Shoot them and enjoy.
