J Miller;the ones your wife gave you,are they recent made and if so where did she get them???That brings back some real memories!!Thanks !

I don't know about graphite but during the Great South East Asia War Games, some guys got to use a product named Dri-Slide.It was very fine moly sulfide in a liquid carrier that evaporated quickly.Worked fine in M-16's !Both graphite and moly disulfide work the same way but I have never used it in a...

They appear to be fossil 'horn corals" or a solitary coral.The end going into the rock should come to a point.

milton

I have used this method several times,sometimes it works sometimes it doesn't.Get some lime from the hardware store.This should be a white powder that chemically is calcium hydroxide.Make a paste with warm water and paint in on the stock. You want a thick paste to cover the wood enough to pull the o...

milton

Great to see you home WES !!

milton

Another thing to consider is to bring a couple of guys along when you shoot it with baseball gloves!!If yours is like mine it throws brass into a low earth orbit and I never see it again!

milton

They are fun to shoot but I wouldn't dry fire it!The original firing pin will break easily when dry firing.There is(was?) a site on the net that had a replacement spring loaded firing pin that you can safely dry fire.

milton

Depends on the gun or at least the chamber dimensions and quality of chamber finish.I have some .357 Rugers that will shoot 38's O.K. but they have slightly over sized chambers while I have Smith K and L frame guns that will shoot 38's as accurately as .357.I also have some Rugers that will shoot bo...

milton

I have found it to be a fair powder in .303 Brit but primarily with bullets over 200 grains!

milton

So,the Model 94 AE in .357 mag has several things against it right off the bat !I do believe you answered my question about this model.I have a Puma and although it is not an exact copy and it has a few problems,I find that my particular carbine is a great work-gun! Hey,nothing wrong with being opin...

milton

Thank you for your reply's !I did not see a way to contact Mr.McPherson by email,maybe someone here knows how?? I have a Winchester'94 AE in .357 and though I hate the rebounding hammer set-up I have been able to work the trigger into a fairly good one and the gun is very accurate.I just wanted to k...

milton

I find the following quotation on Mic McPherson's site;"ATTN: Owners of any newer "Winchester" '94 gun having a rebounding hammer. I will not work on any such "Ranger" gun for any reason. I may consider working on the 30-30 chambering version but don't count on it. I find th...

milton

Wow ! Thanks everybody ! I also have used a torch but those stocks you did look great ! I have also used potassium permanganate to "slow burn" wood to get it darker.I will have to buy some chromium trioxide and try it out.

milton

What do you do ?

milton

Jaguarundi ,thanks for the in-depth answers!Yes that is my problem,though the wood is a good wood it is a royal pain to stain without making a mess! This may interest you;if I can find it I have and older article which studied the various woods the Swedes used in their Mausers.They apparently used m...

milton

Thank you ! I really believe this stuff is birch.I have worked with beech before and it is not too hard to stain but this stuff is almost impossible to stain without making the wood downright ugly.I agree that walnut is better and nicer looking but I am sorta stuck with this stock.There is not much ...

milton

Thank you ! I visited the Remington web site and they had photos of two different 870 express guns.The first gun had a "hardwood" stock but had some grain and did not look too bad.The second gun,an 870 Express -youth had a stock that looked like the very plain wood on some Marlins I have s...

milton

Any wood experts on board? Is the wood that Marlin uses for its cheaper rifles (including its .22's) birch?When the stock is stripped it appears plain,white and tight grained;quite unlike the various beech's that are used in some military rifles.

milton

Anyone here loaded any of the 123 to 125 gr .311 or .310 diameter jacketed bullets in a .30-.30 Marlin 336 with a micro-groove barrel?

milton

Just curious,those grips look longer than standard lenght Blackhawk grips.What are they if so or are my eyes fooling me again!

milton

I would not do anything to your grips! If you have no problem with holding them they are fine.The hole will possibly help the grips and frame "breath" and not hold water .I just removed a set of rubber grips from the grip frame of a stainless Smith and due to sweat,condensation and rain th...

milton

Yes sir Terry this one is a keeper ! As far as hard triggers on Rugers,if you can do a little 'smithing a Ruger can be smoothed up to get a great trigger ! One thing else to look for is see if you can find one of the older Ruger Old Model Single -Sixes.My '57 dated early round gate will shoot as wel...

milton

I bought a Ruger Bisley Single Six with adjustable sights and the gun only came with a .22 cylinder(no mag cylinder).My particular revolver will shoot groups just under an inch at 30 yards with Federal bulk .22 LR.It will easily outshoot my K22 Smith !Mine has a 6.5 inch barrel and will consistantly...

milton

I just bought a bunch of their 158 JSP's and tried them out in my Rossi M 92,I got excellent groups using 2400.The bullets look like some old Speer 158's but I have not tried them on game yet.
Some friends at the range bought some 158 JHP's and said they shot well in his Ruger GP.

milton

Thanks guys ! Yes I just placed an order also and the people I spoke to actually knew their business !!!Only thing is they didn't have the hammer I needed but I also had to get some stuff for a Remington. I know what you mean Bruce,I have had to case harden all the triggers in my Uberti guns in orde...

milton

Just what I was hoping to hear ,thank you !!!!

milton

Anyone order replacement parts from VTI and if so how was the parts ordered and the service? I need a hammer and hand for an 1860 Colt Uberti copy.

milton

Thank you very much,that does indeed answer my curiosity !

milton

Thanks for the help! Sounds like a combination of an 1894 Winchester and a 336 Marlin.

milton

I have looked through all my literature and cannot find an illustration on how a Winchester '95 locks on firing;could one of you kind souls provide such an illustration of the bolt/breech locking mechanism?

milton

GANJIRO,for some reason only part of your post is opening on my 'puter! I did find ArmiChiappas and the guns they make in Brescia Italy.How do these guns compare to the Brazilian guns? Is the Italian steel as good as the Brazilian or is it too early to know?

milton

That Florida site says that the guns are made in Italy by Chiappa???Who is that?

milton

Thank you for that post! So then I may assume that parts as the hammer ,trigger even the flat springs may interchange with possibly a little gunsmithing.It would be nice to know for sure!

milton

I sorta figured the screws would not interchange. But I was just wondering if the Rossi replicas are scaled to size of the older guns.Even if the size measurements were stated in mm or cm's versus inches and fractions of inches ,if the guns were made the same size as the older ones it seems the peop...

milton

Sorry I was not clear !!! I am referring to the Miroku/Browning Model 92's and the very latest guns manufactured by Winchester.Thank you for clearing that up !!!

milton

Thank you !!!

milton

Are there any parts for the Winchester 92 that will interchange with the Rossi 92,either directly or with some modification?

milton

Anyone have a good extractor for a Puma M92 they are not needing?I need one to finish my carbine.Though the carbine I have is blued I don't care if the part is standard steel or stainless.

milton

While camped in Florida back in 1973 I experienced a thunderstorm where there was continuous lightening for 2 or so hours around midnight.I was in a small tent so I could really see the flashes of lightening and as it was continuous for the duration of the storm there was no darkness! There appeared...

milton

Thank you ! I bought this gun new but I would not doubt the dealer I bought it from had already done some internal work! I ordered the CD,spring and magazine follower yesterday.

milton

Sorry for not being clear ! The round is pulled from the chamber but it stays in the gun and is not ejected.If I load the rounds through the loading gate and they feed normally I get extraction and ejection . I have not ordered Steves CD but that is on my schedule.
Thank you

milton

I have noticed when I load my .357 Rossi singly by hand the ejector only works about 10% of the time.I also noted that if I load from the magazine the ejector works OK,is this normal? Is there a way to get the ejector to work loading while loading each round by hand?

milton

Thanks for the help ! Thats what I was hoping to hear !!!!!

milton

Quinn, Thank you very much ! I do not plan on using this rifle for competition I just wanted to know if any weak points showed up in competition or necessary frequent repairs.In a rifle designed around longer cartridges I would like to know if the shorter cartridge gives any problems concerning spri...

milton

I suppose that some of the members of this forum either shoot or have shot thier Winchesters in Cowboy competition. With this experience in mind does the above noted Winchester have any weak spots or places/parts especially prone to break or wear out in competition?

milton

I'll clean it with J-B one more time and re-slug the barrel just in case.
Thanks !!

milton

Thanks for the help ! The load in question is very mild in my '94 Winchester,in fact I load 15.5 grains with the same bullet in the '94 and get good results. The mic'd numbers noted are groove to groove /land to land . The carbine shoots jacketed just fine although I must watch load development as p...

milton

Feller's I got a problem that I hope you can help me with.I finally got out my Rossi '92 today and tried some cast loads.The load was R-P 357 brass,Win Sm pistol primer,14.5 gr/2400 and a 158 cast SWC sized .358.I got heavy leading and flattened primers,so I checked the bore.Most of the bore mic'd 0...
