Ironwood, Thanks for your pics and congrats on the rufus. Spend some time in the end of Oklahoma panhandle so I get to see them quite a lot but seldom here. I've noticed the rufus males seem more aggressive than the ruby throat ones who are pretty bad themselves. They mate and nest here so I get to ...

I bet that old John Deere is a bear to steer with one of those logs on the loader.

You can get the components from Granger to hook up a very accurate thermostat that will keep the pot within +/- 2 degrees. I have a hundred pound pot I need to rework to that configuration. It is one that goes on a Magma casting machine.

I find that if you look a little you can find what you want on the net with free shipping. Have even bought a couple of batteries that way and the only thing I can think of that is heavier, (denser) would be gold bars.

My sister who lives only a couple hundred yards away feeds about the same number. Sure takes a lot of sugar. We hang six quart size fee...

When I bought my old (1916) 86/45-90, I thought it would need to be re-barreled but a good cleaning, some shooting and lots of JB bore cleaner and it is just fine with gas checked bullets. It's 26 inch full octagon/full magazine and I really like it. Killed a couple of whitetails with it last year. ...

M. M. Wright

Love it! Watched and LISTENED to the video and I love it. Great job.

When's the first test ride?

M. M. Wright

What Griff said!

M. M. Wright

Try calling Hogdon with the lot no. on the sticker. Maybe they'll want a sample but they will help. They have been very good to help me in the past, even sent them some loaded rounds for testing and received a return phone call about the results and their suggestions.

M. M. Wright

I agree with Earl, it's definitely a Hogdon jug and I'll bet he's right about International Clays. I know I'd use it. Too much to throw out. Man that jug is over a hundred dollars! Too expensive for fertilizer though have you priced that stuff lately?

M. M. Wright

Was the .41 a 58 or 57? The 58s are really scarce.

M. M. Wright

Had a skunk in my shop once, heard that if shot in the head they wouldn't spray. That's a lie! That was over 5 years ago and on a hot day, (plenty of them lately) it still has a faint odor.

M. M. Wright

Wow! What a great price. I love it.

M. M. Wright

Welcome mos. pics look good, especially for phone pics.

M. M. Wright

I'm another BLR fan but I don't know the answer either. Welcome in. (I have 11 or 12 of them)

M. M. Wright

OK, the tanks are on, the primary is on, all you need is fuel lines and a carb on it and we can listen to music out of the pipe. Huh? I'm almost as anxious as you are.

M. M. Wright

I use BLACKROCK Leather 'N' Rich.

Blackrock
PO Box 549
Pekin IL 61555

This is the stuff they use at the Western Heritage Center in OKC. I use it on my 1890ish R. T. Frazier saddle and my Shipley chaps, some old holsters and belts. Great stuff.

M. M. Wright

Man, that looks like fun! I did shoot three cylinders full out of an SAA yesterday even though it was 112 F. They're predicting 114 for today so I probably won't get out and shoot anything. I had a flat fixed on my huge back-hoe, 9:00X20 truck tire on the front and got out about 6:30 to put it back ...

M. M. Wright

I packed a 4" 629 for several years but I really like the 58, .41 Mag for an all-around carry gun. Guess that's not big bore, maybe medium bore? Let's see 190 Speer hollow point with XXgrains of WW296. Shoots lots flatter then the 44.

M. M. Wright

My venison supply is running very low so I'm starting to think about replenishing it. That picture just whets my appetite.

M. M. Wright

Nath, Man that looks like fun! I once got to shoot white-wing doves with my muzzle loading shotgun. W. C. Scott and Son, London. They eat pretty good too. Ate some mourning doves baked in a dressing by an old frenchman who ran our foundry that were very good. He added some beef blood to the dressing.

M. M. Wright

Gobbler, Dang guy, why don't you put that thing up on a table while you are working on it? I see one in the background that would hold it. I have an old "A frame" hoist that I use to lift mine and drag a wooden table that I built to build engines on under it. A couple concrete blocks and 2...

M. M. Wright

The "good" shine makers used to put a thermometer on the cooker and watch the temp pretty close. When it got to a certain point, (I don't remember what) they would shut 'er down to avoid much of the "fusil oils" from being evaporated from the mash. Their stuff would burn. That's ...

M. M. Wright

Since everyone has trouble with the base-pin walking out unless the retainer is very tight the idea of changing cylinders is not going to work. Besides, you can reload faster than you can change cylinders. One trick is to pull two cartridges at a time, load the bottom one first, then the top one. I'...

M. M. Wright

Yeah, I think Pitchy has the recipe.

M. M. Wright

I love it Pitchy. My Daddy built stills for moonshiners back in the prohibition days in Oklahoma. They were all copper with copper rivets and all joints sweated with 50/50 solder. Bad booze was made with radiators which are brass, not copper. Some very old radiators had copper tanks but the tubes we...

M. M. Wright

Luchasse!

M. M. Wright

My wife has the Remington by Baikal. 12 ga. with 22" bbls. I think. Very tough little gun specifically aimed at SASS shooters but I think they make a longer version too. I use a Beretta SxS with 26" bbls. but it ain't cheap. Good gun though. I use the brass shells to load black powder in b...

M. M. Wright

I use a very similar method but made myself a "cookie cutter" that has a few thousandths clearance on the bullet. It is ground sharp on the outside so it cuts the bullet out of the pan. Just keep pushing down on the next one and eventually the lubed bullets start to pop out the top of the ...

M. M. Wright

Aw man, that is FINE!

M. M. Wright

Prayers up! Heal quick.

M. M. Wright

Thanks for all the prayers guys. He is home from the hospital and resting though in a lot of pain. He and his new wife are quite shaken but are strong Christians who will recover from this. Evidently he jumped up from his seat just in time to catch the blast in his hip and thigh instead of head and ...

M. M. Wright

Wow Kirk! I just can't get over that beautiful '73. :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: Great report and the usual outstanding pics. To make you a little green, I have a Colt SAA in a little better condition that was made in 1894 that says Frontier Six Shooter on the barrel. When it cools a little (108 F ...

M. M. Wright

Had a nephew shot in the Aurora CO theater last night. He caught a shotgun blast in the hip and thigh that put 8 shot (of unknown size) in him. Surgeons removed 4 and left 4. As I understand it the prognosis is good for recovery. Not sure if anyone knows whether lead, steel or whatever shot. So many...

M. M. Wright

Well, in the world of SASS the bird-head grips are preferred by many of the ladies. They fit smaller hands well. Cimarron is just an importer of Uberti, like Navy or whoever is doing it this week. However, Cimarron seems to hold Uberti to better QC and usually gives better service. You are right abo...

M. M. Wright

Wow Pitchy, that piece you added really looks good. You're right, it makes it look beefier.

M. M. Wright

OS, I dug out an old thumbuster that was one of 50 shipped to H & D Folsom Arms Co. of New York on October 4,1876. Between every pair of chambers it measures .035 inch. No detectable variation with dial calipers. The more critical measurement is the depth of the bolt cut. That outside wall measu...

M. M. Wright

Black powder loads make more heat than smokeless. The "crayola" lube that most cast bullet makers use just won't cut the extra heat. Also, there must be sufficient lube to make it to the end of your barrel. SPG is the black powder shooter's lube of choice but you can make your own. I use t...

M. M. Wright

Good picture and post. If you're like me, you forget how you did something by the time it's done.

M. M. Wright

+1 on the Merit device. Also, I often replace the aperture with a target version with a tiny hole. This gives a sharper image of the front sight and usually the target too.

M. M. Wright

Great find and report. Thanks.

Weren't those finished bright when new?

M. M. Wright

Just catching up Brad. Glad to see you going with the alternator, this way you'll actually be able to run at night without worries. I have only a small head-light and tail light but still worry about having enough amps for night running. Of course I'm remembering my 6 volt years and things are much ...

M. M. Wright

+1 on what El Chivo said. Most of those rails are just painted aluminum anyway so you can file it down and rattle-can some new paint on it.

M. M. Wright

Prayers up!

M. M. Wright

Man Pitchy, that really cool!

Can you just bore the end of the hammer to leave a shield around the cap, like most factory hammers for caps?

M. M. Wright

I really like it!

M. M. Wright

So glad you're able to get in this range time and congrats on the shrinkage part. That 86 is beautiful, I really like it. That second load looks like the one to use. I too am convinced that range time is therapeutic. I had a melanoma removed from the side of my head in 09 so I'm surviving. No side-b...

M. M. Wright

Looks like a very good time JimT. May God bless your efforts there.

M. M. Wright

Thanks Kirk, I enjoyed that.

M. M. Wright

Prayer up brother! And strength for your guardians angels.
