Junk is junk and always will be junk. This includes HiPoints, Bersa, Ravens, old top breaks, even Russian Nagants. :D -----------Sixgun Jack , don't hold back tell us how you really feel. :D Ha! I never was one much for sugarcoating. :D OK, you really want to know how I feel? Remember now, I have b...

I discovered the Hornady spray lube years ago, but I've never used Simple Green, or any other spray cleaner for that matter. I like it. :D Also the comments about carbide dies over sizing is very interesting, does this include all pistol rounds, or just revolver type rounds? Would hitting the forcin...

The only time I anneal anything is when I'm dealing with very hard to find cases. Most levergun cartridges operate at low to medium pressures and will last many loadings. When I do anneal I do it the old fashioned way. Stick 'em in a pan of water so about a half to 3/4 of an inch of the case is in w...

Doc, Are the guns new? If so, polish the bore with JB paste as most guns that are factory new (and mass produced.......quickly) have rough edges and need to be smooth before they perform. This roughness affects .22's more than the bigger calibers. Loosen the stock bolt a bit. Also, it sounds like yo...

I have no idea why all of the "hoopla" over carbide sizing dies. They squeeze down the cases too much......just take some measurements (carbide vs. steel) and you will see what I mean, especially 45 L.Colt cases. They rattle around in the chamber after using one of them, ensuring the bulle...

I've never made them but have shot my share of them. These were given to me and that's the most I would pay. Junk. But, not to put them all down as the maker could have been unknowledgable. As 22 centerfire bullets have lots of popularity, prices will return to normal after this bs is over. Wait 'ti...

Those are interesting and very much unappreciated guns from our past. While they have never infactuated me, my buddy must have a dozen of them on his wall, including a like new Remington Zouave, (or however that is spelled) a Colt, mess of different contact 1861's. As I write this, Targetmaster has ...

Sixgun

I think you would be better off using the c-note for ammo/loading components for guns you already have..............unless the gun was really, really clean, with an excellent bore, and then only if you need it for a truck gun or something you leave out in the barn. There's cases of those guns at mos...

Hey Pitchy, did you build this for all that snow?

Ahhh, It had a bad word on it. not cool

Dang. Ain't he somethin'! I was mesmerized watching that! Hey Pitch, have you ever paid anyone to fix anything around the homestead?------------------------------Sixgun

Wife didn't even bat an eye over me buying supplies and walked out less $112 (add the $22 entry onto that) but happy as heck. Any time you can do THAT at a gun show, you did well...! Yea, I'll second that! You must be a nice guy taking your wife to a gunshow. I did that years ago and she about chok...

Like others have said, the 45 is one of the cases I never concern myself with as to inspection, case length, etc. I don't even see them splitting. The only reason I replenish them is because they get lost. About the same can be said about the 9mm and the 38/44 spl. They just last and last and work a...

AJ take a larger sized hex wrench and file it with a good long file to fit. Put it in a vice and cut one side then the opposite side etc. I guess a bench sander would work too, but I prefer a file for exacting work, and no chance of burning it. Yea Doc. This will work. I had to do that last week. S...

Sixgun

Mark, Thats a little strange for you.............a bolt action? :D But...............a nice bolt action. :) Are not many of those pre-wars around, even here in the east. And to find one with condition is something else too. I never did own one but have shot my share as my bud likes them and Model 37...

Man! I like that new generation army truck.

Where does that Pinzgauer come from? Thats pretty neat too.--------6

Sixgun

Sixgun, I really like that. One of the first Colts I ever shot was an 1862 Police almost like that. That's been 60 years ago. M.M., Ain't that somethin' how we remember the neat old guns we have shot but totally forget about that Ruger, Rem.700, whatever modern junk? There's just something about th...

Sixgun

Now THAT is my type of humor!

I started to read the story and was getting ready for some bs, like "I shot the bear in the eye" or some liberal response like "I told the bear that it would have to be incarcerated".-------6

Not sure on the airgun scope thingy, but several Nikons I have on various .223's and a .308 both have the thing you turn (never was good with terms) that makes the crosshairs nice and crisp for a semi-old guy like myself. In your case Nikon makes a 1-4X that would fit the bill nicely.--------------6

Sixgun

Dang! Booger Bill beat me to it. I was going to suggest a Model 63 Winchester. Mine shoots extremely well and am quite sure it would do 2" easily....if it had a scope. Its easy to shoot into 3" with junk ammo and a Lyman 56 receiver sight. You will have to "destroy" one by D&...

Ha! Ain't that somethin'! She still has a sharp mind too. Reminds me of my aunt, who is 93 and still driving.------------6

Its because of customers like that is the reason we have so many lawyers and is the main reason for signed contracts. Society is breeding a nation full of sociopaths. If I was your buddy who did the work I would get on the forums and bash the "customer" back going as far to say things like...

Thanks guys. I have been playing with cartridge guns for so long I never realized what I was missing in the C&B guns. Might be a new direction to take.

Shooting at water is something I was taught not to do because a bullet, or in this case ball can skip off the water. But I figured the fellow knew what was on the other side. Then I saw the horse. Wow, I never knew bullets could skip on water. It was OK. I was trying to shoot the gun and hold the c...

He bought it off of a private party, who had it for a year or two and got tired of it. That guy got it in Philly at some military surplus dealer.------------6

I've been told that army trucks make the best vehicles for snow plows but with the total 7" we have had this winter, its a waste to spend the bucks.

Kirk, I must say, you always do snag nice Winchesters with lots of condition. Your front sight is the Lyman "Beech" style. Very collectable and in itself is worth a c-note or more. Forget the magnum primers--been there and done that. Accurate ballistician told me there is nothing to gain. ...

and I think to myself, "well, it looks like Round 1 of citizen internment" I always knew I was on the Fed's "Red List". I grab the AR with 4 extra 30 round mags, ready my 1911, give my wife her M-1 carbine with a few mags, call in the dogs, close the steel shudders, turn on the e...

Oh Pitchy, you got your happy smile back! As we all know, a dog is needed around the homestead more than people are needed. Won't be long, you two will be bonded and a new chapter in your life will be on the way. Happy for you bro!-------------------Sixgun

OK, here's the story. My buddy Gunny calls me from his mobile telling me he is on his way to buy a mess of old guns that some old timer is selling. He gets there and finds 99% of the guns are junk. He does manage to buy an Italian repo 69 cal. muzzleloader rifle for a c-note. As he was leaving, the ...

Like you, I have been reloading since '72 and these things come up from time to time. You think to yourself, "I just polished the heck out of this but the scratches keep coming up" Annoying as watching a liberal news cast. :x If the scratches keep coming up, there HAS to be an imperfection...

I believe it was marketed as a goose, fox, turkey round. It ain't no deer cartridge by any stretch of the imagination, except maybe if your starvin'. I've shot all kinds of stuff with the 25-20, including crows, squirrels, foxes, wild dogs, cats (domestic or wild) pigeons, alarm clocks, old cameras,...

You did well, much fancier that I usually do. I just get a couple of 20 penny nails, cut the head off and slip some old rubber air hose over the nail.---------------Sixgun

No change for me at all. I hit the gunclub every couple of weeks and shoot 350-450 rds of centerfire out of the 5 guns I usually bring. Last year I logged exactly 8,000 rds and plan on topping that this year as me and "The Gunny" are planning on attending more matches at different clubs. T...

Doc, If this is any help, its gets worse as you get older. You begin by saying "Oh screw it, I'll fix that next week" or "Ahhhh, the Jeep will run another 5 years" etc, etc, etc. Thats all I wanna do anymore is shoot, reload, cast bullets and hang out in the gunroom. Why? Well, I...

I'm with you Charles. Playing with the 30-30 since 1967, I feel that its way more popular today than it ever was.
