The last lead smelter in the USA was closed last year due to over-regulation. They'll be able to regulate imports.

Saw a utube video of Bill Wilson telling how he maintains his 1911. Pulling the extractor and cleaning it's hole with a nylon 22 brush is recommended.

This is the one I bought.

Oh Bill, that is a great price! Ended up with $665 in min by the time I got it home. Pretty much the same gun as yours.

M. M. Wright

You're absolutely right OlWin. Normal music wire springs are only good for 1-2K rounds. Buy the 22 lb wound from square wire and they last at least 10X that long. Most people will never wear one out. And put a shock buff in it and change it every 2K rounds. Only oil contact surfaces. Don't forget th...

M. M. Wright

No, I think those rings will work on any Burris, Leupold or Redfield base.

M. M. Wright

I just bought myself a Kimber Pro Carry II 2 tone. Yeah, it has the aluminum frame cause I want it to be light for carrying. Just picked it up today and will put some rounds through it tomorrow. I've been getting by with a Star PD of which I've owned a couple in my time. This Kimber has the 4" barre...

Always a joy to see you and Jess out taking care of the varmints and table fare.

M. M. Wright

It takes huge huevos to just start chopping on a nice pistol but man that turned out really nice. I do it with double barreled shotguns but then I'm not as neat as you. I just stick 'em under the hot saw.

My daughter in law carries a Kahr 40 S&W.

Great report Kirk. I no longer have my 92 in 44-40 but still have 4 73s. The Winchester SRC from 1885 is my favorite and it shoots decent groups. Good enough to kill a whitetail.

M. M. Wright

I just settled on a Kimber Ultra Carry 4", 7+1 45. Two Tone as the frame is aluminum. Found the best price at Bud's. It'll be here next week. I'm eighty now and don't want to learn a new gun. I shot tens of thousands of rounds through 1911s back in the eighties when I was shooting IPSC so it's sorta...

Who indeed?

M. M. Wright

Notice that little piece on the end of the base pin bushing on your Colt SAA? That's left over from black powder days. It was put there to keep the blast of crud bearing gases out of the base pin hole. Remington doesn't have that deflector and is why Remingtons tie up after only a couple of cylinder...

I've actually been savin' up for a new building. Maybe move my shop into it and use the old one for storage. I don't own a coffee grinder but Esperanza bought a sack of roasted 1850 beans (by mistake) so I need one. How does that one with the wheel work? Think I could build one like that. HAPPY NEW ...

M. M. Wright

I know it's a pain but it sure is beautiful.

M. M. Wright

Pitchy, where else would you find an audience who would recognize the names of those rifles and guns. I had no idea what an Evans was until I watched that Tom Selleck movie, Crossfire Trail. Yet, here is a book with instructions on how to work on it. Oh yeah, the bad guy had a Remington Keene didn't...

M. M. Wright

OS, Several years ago I bought a 4 3/4 inch full blue 44-40 from a lady who had bought it from the custom shop as a gift for her husband. I don't believe he ever fired it because when I did the empties wouldn't eject without banging the ejector against the edge of the unloading table. I sent it back...

M. M. Wright

I'm enjoying following your activities 6pt.

M. M. Wright

That is a do-able fix. I would clamp some aluminum heat sinks to the barrel/rib to prevent any further unsoldering and use Alstate 430 (soft silver that melts at 430 degrees) and Duz-all (a really good flux) to stick it back on. Brownell's rust blue will finish it off 'cause the flux will ruin the b...

Let's see, we have a several model 12s around here. A 12, two 16s and a 20. The 12 has been refinished and the 16s belonged to my father and father-in-law. The 20 belonged to one of my sons, it has a vent rib, Cutt's Compensator and a couple of changeable chokes. I am a great fan of the model 12 and...

Forgot to say that the drawing table was a new blemished solid core door. Lumber yards usually have a couple at drastically reduced prices. All you have to do is hinge it to the wall and I like to use dog chain and hooks to adjust it's angle.

M. M. Wright

I LIKE it. My old Dake Bible is falling apart so I should make one for it. Now that I have the Blue Letter Bible APP on my phone I almost never carry a Bible. The church we belong to is so far out in the woods that there is no reception there so I can only use the KJV while there.

M. M. Wright

That's an impressive space saver. Bet you could keep your salt and pepper on those shelves. Many, many years ago I built myself a drawing table that hung on the wall and let down on hinges. It had a parallel bar on it and I found it very useful as I'm sure you will this table.

M. M. Wright

Oh yeah man, I like it! Merry Christmas.

M. M. Wright

Looks like you're having a good Christmas brother. We had a big turkey and dressing with pecan or pumpkin pie after. Two sons and their complement of Grandkids made a house full but that turkey put me in a coma for about an hour so they didn't bother me. 71 degrees here today.

MERRY CHRISTMAS PARDNERS

M. M. Wright

Had a cousin named Sam Hill. His Mama died when he was just a baby so he came to live with us for a time so he seemed closer kin than most cousins. Became a car salesman and a good one too. He and both his brothers are gone now. Only their sister remains.

M. M. Wright

Much joy to all as we celebrate the soon coming King. Come soon Lord Jesus.

M. M. Wright

Oh yeah!

https://i.imgur.com/ww4bDim.jpg?1 https://i.imgur.com/2xBsl4u.jpg?1 This Colt was made in 1927and I wanted to include it in my latest post but it's nickel so I'll just make it's own topic. It's a 45 Colt and I'll probably change the grips but for right now it's fine. Tight and in time but springs a...

Great pix Nath. Much happiness as we celebrate the coming Messiah.

6, you'll have to keep that '17 SAA away from Olwin 'cause I think that buffalo coat is quite abrasive and will wear that finish quickly. That old one of mine doesn't show much color any more. Guess it's seen too much light from displaying it at the Wanamacher a couple of times a year. Always put my...

M. M. Wright

I've seen quite a lot of discussion about the quality of Case Colors on Colt SAA frames so I dragged out 3 examples from through the years. First is a Frontier Six Shooter from 1894, then a 2nd gen 45 from 1971 and last a 3rd gen 44 Special from 1980. Oldest and newest I own or have access to. https...

M. M. Wright

I'd rater kill a couple of green head Mallards than an 8 point buck. Used to have a bunch of decoys and really spent time duck hunting but not in 50 years and I miss it. The whistle of those wings and oh, my blue wing Teal are tasty.

M. M. Wright

1911, 1911, 1911, etc. If you're only after capacity from the Glock there are double stack 1911s. Heck, Rock Island is making them now so they are cheap! And the RIAs I've had the last few years have been very good after I replaced the recoil springs in them.

Thanks Doc and may God Bless You! At 80 I don't sit in trees any more but my little shooting house is my place for meditation prayer and just being alone.

M. M. Wright

New in 1890 that is. I picked this up today, I had talked to a friend of mine a few months ago about an estate that this gun was in and had given up that I might get it. Today I got a text and all that changed... http://i.imgur.com/sVO1NVXl.jpg http://i.imgur.com/kOkth53l.jpg http://i.imgur.com/UkL...

Yeah Lenn, looks like wolf to me too. The cougars and bobcats around here leave a very round track. 44 Special should work OK if you load 'em sorta hot. I bought a 7 1/2 inch Colt in 44 special the other day. New in the box. Haven't shot it yet but I did set out a box of ammo for it. Picked up a 7 1...

and I thought Blaine would be the one to get it.

M. M. Wright

Guys those are both super SRCs. Mine says Browning on it but I'm still proud of it. Neither of them has any stories to tell except maybe about rats running around the warehouse. They've never been used! I'm guessing from he letter that one spent a couple of years in St. Louis, didn't sell so was ret...

It's been a long time but I spent a couple of nights in Cook City Montana and found it reasonable and OK.

M. M. Wright

That is a beautiful rifle 6pt. Hope you have enough tickets left to blood it. I have a tote full of those old swing-over mounts. Mostly new, still in their packages so let me know if you need something.

M. M. Wright

Don't look at me. A double bitted axe is too much tech for me.

M. M. Wright

Thanks Bill.

M. M. Wright

Well said Bill, well said. Just before reading your post I was remembering out Rott/Lab who died on the front porch. I'd get another if I could find the right puppy.
