I agree with you Steve, I too need to go to the range. And it's just outside for me. Today was really nice though just slightly cool but a tractor needed some attention. We'll attend church via Zoom tomorrow morning but maybe the afternoon will be good.

M. M. Wright

Nice build but put a roller on the end of your cam follower. Makes me think of ex wife #2, thankfully deceased. Love it man.

M. M. Wright

Fabulous! Thanks Bill. It was common practice, in that car's era, to take an aircraft engine and build a race car around it.

M. M. Wright

I prepared several hundred 223 cases last week with a hand reamer and countersink. The one I used is a 3 blade 82 degree which I chuck up in the drill press. The reamer I use to be sure the crimp is gone. I broke so many decapping pins that I started hammering them out with a Lee decapper. Works a t...

Any standard velocity 45 Colt loads will be fine. Just remember it ain't a Ruger so no bear loads. I prefer 200 grain bullets myself or better yet put the ACP cylinder in it and really enjoy it. I'm sure it's Italian made but I think EMF has imported more than one brand over the years. Oh yeah, we l...

M. M. Wright

Lookin' GOOD Lenn! You could make that ol' bear really mad. And nice hawk Brad. How's your bike running?

M. M. Wright

That is some fine shootin' Jim. Guess I need to find a heeled bullet mold for 41 Colt 'cause the 480 seems to really like that bullet.

I don't know if he came from New York but he looked like he might be a democrat. The Cooey .410 and a 2" shell took care of him... :D IMG_20200416_164816.jpg Click to enlarge image. There was a similar critter striking the same pose just in front of Esperanza's van when I went to the shop this...

Now I know what to do with a sewing machine that we've been storing for 20 years. Good job Lenn.

M. M. Wright

I bought a Hobart welder that was a refurb for about 2 grand. It's also a 10KW generator and runs our place just fine during an ice storm. I've had to use it several times and I can build fence corners with it. Twin cylinder Kohler powered.

M. M. Wright

HE IS RISEN!

M. M. Wright

Oh Doc, you bring back memories. I have two sets of kids. The 3 older ones, (they're about 50 now) learned to eat rabbit off the grill. We even had several hutches of them so we didn't run out. We put everything on that old grill. Only thing not good was a whole Carp! Might have been better If we'd ...

M. M. Wright

And you can melt that lead and cast a hundred bullets if it gets hard to get.

M. M. Wright

Now that's a black powder bullet!

M. M. Wright

Beautiful! You did good Sir.

M. M. Wright

"He who dies with the most toys wins." I give up. You win.

Truth is I have all the guns I want but I envy your place on the lake with moose in the yard. Nice beadwork. What's the single action?

M. M. Wright

Oh! Those are good groups Jim. Those 2 little grease grooves wouldn't hold enough for black powder.

M. M. Wright

Oh yeah! SUPER Just throw that in back of your van and you're ready to go.

M. M. Wright

J, I use Swiss 1 1/2 for 45 and 50 cal rifles but had to look up #4. Scheutzen's info says 4 is flinter priming so might be a little sudden for 44-40.

M. M. Wright

Congratulations Paul!

M. M. Wright

Looks great Marlinman! I've got a 41 Mercury coupe project that I need to move on 'cause at my age I'll never get it done. Yours is coming along fine man. Know what you mean about the roller cam. I've gone to rollers the last 10 years or so because of the lack of oil for them. Keep us in the loop.

M. M. Wright

Neat stuff pard! I really like the simplicity of the fruit jar one.

M. M. Wright

SWEET!

M. M. Wright

I like my Browning Buckmark, cost me $175. Used of course.

M. M. Wright

I have had an original 40-72 for a few years and finally found the perfect second 1895, this one in 38-72. Both are rare chamberings and both are in real good original condition. http://i.imgur.com/9V65ba4l.jpg http://i.imgur.com/xaxi4F4l.jpg http://i.imgur.com/bsFo3kPl.jpg http://i.imgur.com/RehqP...

M. M. Wright

Yeah Lenn, I'm not out of Harleys.

M. M. Wright

Did I mention selling my 66?

Sold it to one of my boys so it's still in the family.

M. M. Wright

Lookin' good! Keep posting as you get it farther along.

I've got everything to build another.

M. M. Wright

Got itchy to drive around so I fired up "Ol Blue" and went to town for chain saw plugs and gas then to another town to pick up a prescription. Total of about 40 miles. https://i.imgur.com/pFubmoF.jpg?1 Running and shifting like a new one. 400 SBC, 700 R4, Vintage air, IFS, 4 Whl discs, on ...

M. M. Wright

That is so cool! I need to build me a forge but at my age I don't need another project.

M. M. Wright

That last piece of oak looks good pard. Wish I could send you some logs.

M. M. Wright

M. M. Wright

Nice start you got there, Mr. Wright. :D Hope you are not using those files to clean your sixshooters. :shock: No worries, That old Bisley had a stuck base pin bushing that had to be driven out which required some deburring after getting it out. Too I used the big mill file to remove a little wood ...

M. M. Wright

Just my opinion:

It's a real Colt, just a 2nd gen

M. M. Wright

The grips on this NRA Commemorative just didn't fit right so I had this old set of 1st gen, one piece walnut that no one wanted so I had to do only a small amount of fitting. I think it improves it.

M. M. Wright

Opened the safe a couple days ago and started pulling everything out for a thorough cleaning. Got all the long guns the first day and had all the SAAs out yesterday:

Here are all the 44-40s:

Now I'm tired.

M. M. Wright

When I'm loading 44-40 I use .429 bullets so I put my 44 Mag expander/flarer in.

M. M. Wright

Neat stuff pard! It's hot here today, maybe 90 tomorrow. Of course that means storms even torpedoes er tornados.

M. M. Wright

Lovely!

M. M. Wright

Yesterday, cast 1000 bullets, and reloaded 100 rounds of 38spl. Today, cast 1000 bullets, and reload 100 rounds of 357. Tomorrow, same again, in 32-20. I haven't been able to spend this much time in the reloading shed for years. Can't get any more Win 296 down here, so will have to redevelop new lo...

Guys there is an extensive article on the BLR by Bruce Hamlin on Hobie's web site. If you have a BLR or think you want one you'll get lots of info there. There is also a link to the BLR Field Service Manual that you can print a copy from. I got my first one in the early 70s and it was very worn from...

M. M. Wright

Love that butter mold. Mama had a rectangular one. Made about a pound or like 4 sticks from the store.

M. M. Wright

Our old cat is so obnoxious she better pray! I really like the cross addition. Hang the metal one around the cat's neck. Kudos on the can crusher. If I didn't have a steel one I'd build one like it.

M. M. Wright

When we were kids a tree blew down and we got two little owls out of a hole in it. Balls of fluff. Owl inside about the size of your thumb. But they could pop those beaks to make you back off. They didn't make it long.

M. M. Wright

We have 2 cats. The young one is then a tiger striped yellow one that has adopted me as her human. She'll come sleep in my lap then move to the little son's chair. He spends most of his time in front of the computer but yesterday he was outside with a hatchet. Of course Mama told him "Don't cho...

M. M. Wright

Is there a pair? Or only the hen? I don't know their habits but isn't it very early in the year to be nesting?

M. M. Wright

Hobie's web site has instructions or a link to them. Best info I've been able to find.
