I got my replacement ejector springs from Lowe's, worked beter than the originals.

We are 1 year in on a 2 year contract with AT&T for $205 a month, not my choice. Wife won't let me cut it, so I bought an outside antenna for less than $40 and two 10 foot 1 inch conduit sections to mount it on for less than $25 and now we get great local staions over the air on our "SMART&...

Now this interest me. I'm only 76 but I have body/joint aches and pains most of the time. My doctor has never offered any help, he just suggests Tylenol. Now it does seem to help a little but I still cannot turn my head without discomfort and when I stand up from a seated position it hurts and takes...

Thanks guys.

Well yeah, build a wall!

What I would like to know is how does Ruger case color their firearms and can it be done at home?

I gotta go to work but I'll be back later and share my experience there at the center. OK, I'm back. About two decades back I and a friend of mine flew out to Raton, NM in my Beechcraft and spent a whole week there. I was loaded to capacity with all kinds of guns and ammo, try doing that now days! A...

I had one, nice gun but I just couldn't warm up to it and it shot to the left just like yours so I sold it.

All I wanted was the lower to mount on my Mech Tech 10mm carbine . THAT would be a nice Range Report.... 8) Well it would be a quick one. For one thing it boosted the velocity almost 300 fps over a 5" barrel and it has always worked perfectly. I put a red dot on it and it shoots one hole group...

I bought a new RIA 1911 at my LGS some years back for under $400 otd. All I wanted was the lower to mount on my Mech Tech 10mm carbine. I took it to the range as is to try it out and to my amazement I put the first seven rounds in the 9-10 rings at 25 yards with a two handed hold. I've never had a s...

I had one in 45 Colt, nice gun, no problems, just couldn't warm up to it.

flightsimmer

Well thanks guys, I really appreciate that.

I got a ton of computer automated greetings but this is more personal.

Thanks again.

I hear a lot of Windows XP users with older PC's are going to Linux Mint, Cinnamin and having great results.

I don't know where they came from, but, I've had four different 39 variants, newest one being a early 70, or late 69, and my two 9422s (one a 9422M) are smoother, faster, and have never, ever jammed. Seems like you really have to be careful with 39s to get them to cycle perfectly. Now, on the other...

I was sitting on the ground in my back yard triming the base of a tree when a groundhog walked around the tool shed and walked right up to me within about a foot and a half away I could have reached out and touched it but I didn't move and I didn't make a sound and he never realized I was there. He ...

OK, it's ordered.
Thanks guys.

I must have skipped over this one thinking it was a belt and holster set. Yes, this is what I was looking for, thanks. I'm looking to wear my Hartford, SAA on the right side and my Cimarron Arms, model "P" Jr. on the left in a cross draw fashion. #44 Outfit - Belt only $130.00 The half-bre...

I've been shopping for a gun belt. What I would like to get is a belt like John Wayne used in several of his movies. That is, a rough side out 2-1/2" wide money belt in natural leather color. El Paso leather has one but not rough side out. I guess I could specify rough side out but is there any...

I saw one on the street recently in Shelbyville, Indiana.
It looked to be "still in service", that is, it was not shiny clean and looking like new or restored.
I guess you might say, " a time machine" or on the set of MASH.

Is there an operating system for a computer that cannot be screwed up? I mean like I've got an Android phone and I don't have problems with it and I use it just like I would my computer. As a matter of fact I don't even use my computer much anymore because of the virus's and problems associated with...

No need to fudge this target. I was as amazed as my son in law was. No, I took the picture while it was still on the target board. I wanted a picture incase I was just seeing things. It's a joke! I'm accusing you of making the holes with a #2 :D I usually have to take a picture because I forget wher...

flightsimmer

You know, it may have been my Schofield and not my Hartford.
At any rate, I am well pleased with the Hartford.

I don't think I'll be needing to touch my sights after all. I shot this group this morning at 25 yards on the first try. I couldn't believe my eyes when I walked downrange to check it. http://i366.photobucket.com/albums/oo106/flightsimmer_2009/Mobile%20Uploads/20150321_102103-1_resized_zpszaphkyhg.j...

Well, I could not be more pleased. This morning my Son in law and I went out to the range where he is a member. At 25 yards I was able to shoot this target on the first try, you cannot get any better in my book. At first I thought I had missed the target all together until I walked downrange, my wha...

flightsimmer

Has anyone else shot it? When I test shoot any firearm I do it on a solid bench with sandbags and good lighting plus blackened sights to eliminate any errors. My son in-law said for me to call him when I get a Friday or Saturday off again and he would take me out to his clubs range, so it may be a ...

My son has one of those that he won for "Top Overall" @ Raton in 1993... EMF Hartford, completely gone thru by Oglesby & Oglesby that fully the equal of my Colt, also rebuilt by O&O just a few years ago! Congrats... the only thing you'll need to watch for is wear on the hammer cam...

flightsimmer

You were right!
I dug out my Cimarron Arms model P Jr. in .38 special and did the same to it.
It came out every bit as good as the Hartford and I am very pleased with both of them.
Now, what's next, hmmmmm. http://i366.photobucket.com/albums/oo10 ... 270010.jpg

With snow on the ground and nothing much to do, I dug out my Hartford, SAA copy by Armi San Marcos in .45 Colt. I ordered a spring pack from Wolff Gun Spring and proceeded to see what I could do to make it better. Well, a couple of hours later I have the finest, smoothest single action I have ever e...

What I really need now is a 25yd indoor target range where I can test fire it.
The one I was using caught fire and is unusable right now.

It may have been this one, anyway I'll check it out. Well I did and it was this one, but it's tight. So for the time bei...

I guess I could of, should have included more info in the first post. It's a 4-3/4" EMF, Hartford single action copy of the 1873 Colt SAA in 45 caliber. It is a very nice gun with excellent specs (tolerances). I dug out an old test target from 2013 and I believe I ought to retest this gun at th...

Well now, that, I think I can do. Thanks Make yourself some oak blocks with a hole drilled on the centerline between the blocks. Dust with powdered resin and clamp the barrel in a strong vise with the blocks. Use an oak 2x2 sized to fit the frame window and just move the sight slightly to the left a...

I have a single action revolver that shoots to the left of POA.
Where should I send it to get it regulated?
I can handle the vertical adjustment but I don't think I can
handle the windage.

Can anyone tell what these are?

They make them in .22 LR, 32-20/32 H&R, 38 special and they use to offer 41 Colt but I don't see it in the current line-up.

I've got a 3-1/2" Cimarron Arms Model "P" junior in 38 Special made by Uberti that is my favorite single action firearm. It's got the same grip frame of a full sized model P but the revolver frame is smaller and more comfortable for my hands. With a six o'clock hold on a 50 ft. B2 tar...

Does anyone know how to remove the glass mirror from the housing? My left mirror shakes in the wind while driving but the right one is just fine.

While on the subject of Henry rifles, a fellow brought back two Henry lever action .22's that he had purchased from the store where I work for his daughters for Christmas and neither one of them would feed any brand of .22LR ammo the store had in stock, hard to believe.
