Well Joe my thoughts aren't much help then. I tried... Hope you get it figured out!

GunnyMack

Right church wrong pew!

Actually this is my home made .17 case trimmer.

The threaded rod is drill rod, broken de capping pin centers the hand cut cutter head. This could work on any case, just need a pilot of correct dia.
Thankfully the 17 rem doesn't stretch much!

GunnyMack

Can anyone identify this tool?

GunnyMack

I'm thinking, which sometimes works, is yes your pen is plated AND has a lacquer finish. The lacquer is failing causing the discoloration.
Can you feel where the 2 colors meet?

GunnyMack

How is that 17 Hornet for fouling? I have a 700 in 17 Remington & I can tell when it's getting fouled, bug hole groups get bigger.

GunnyMack

Gold does not tarnish- EVER! Me thinks it might be brass or the gold plating has worn off. Greatest thing for polishing is FLITZ. works fast, very safe, even for food grade cutlery. It's available in squeeze tubes to quarts. FLITZ leaves no residue and helps fend off oxidation. After you get it poli...

GunnyMack

Ah-ha! Great leg work JohnDe! I hope they bring you great accuracy & lots of meat( outside the condor zone ) !

I can remember seeing this style box years ago. Where, I couldn't tell you. Never knew the history on them. Since I don't have a 270 I didn't bother doing any research.

GunnyMack

Don't know if Howa makes one in wood stock but Boyd's might have a laminate for it.

GunnyMack

I too have been watching the reports on the WSM, I hadn't considered buying one just because the accuracy results aren't what I think they should be. But it's encouraging to hear that yours is getting better!

Shoot more groups & keep us posted!

GunnyMack

Thanks Blaine!
I'm happy with my 41, but figure if I have my 44 wheel gun/ ruger carbine, my 41 blackhawk/Henry or my 357 & a Henry I have enough combos to cover just about anything!

GunnyMack

So I'm thinking about another Henry.
I have a Steel Big Boy in 41. A Ruger Carbine in 44 mag.
I need another 22(lr or mag) like a hole in the head.
Does anyone have a 357 ? How do you like it?

GunnyMack

Haven't shot one but since I like the little cartridges( Bee is my favorite) I always read the articles on the TCM. I can say that from the rifle it's not terribly accurate. What I mean is I'm sure there is room for improvement by working on the gun but I'm not that impressed by it. My Bee will do t...

GunnyMack

All good points gents, one thing I could add is with the big set from Brownells if an odd screw is encountered you have a selection to choose from and fit a tip. I have reshaped many of my tips so they work better. But on the same token I have made many of my own turnscrews( the English way). Quite ...

When they show up during daylight I sneak the upstairs window open and toss a pack of fire crackers, only problem is I don't get to the bears reaction since the roof is in the way. Then once they run off I go out and shoot bottle rockets towards them.

One of my best buddies while in smith school had a vhs copy of Jerimiah Johnson. The whole dorm would pile into a 12x15 room and watch it almost every night. My buddy knew it line by line and will still recite the dialogue today on cue. If you haven't seen it all the way through you NEED to. Elk don...

GunnyMack

Now that the sun is up, only 1 feeder is wrecked. Just have to rehang the others.

GunnyMack

Ah Saturday morning, 5:30 am and out the door to walk 'the girls'. I walk into the 3/16 coated cable that carries my bird feeders. Turn of my flashlight to find a mess! I knew we had a big bear in the area but I didn't think it was big enough to get my feeders this time! It destroyed one of the feed...

GunnyMack

Email from Henry today, listing the original Henry style, long barrel and carbine models. Also had the 24" .22 with octagon barrels- READY FOR SHIPPING.

GunnyMack

I should had clarified the ' not shoot hollow points UNDERWATER! Sorry about that, my mind got ahead of my fingers while typing...

One guy I was at Gunsmith school with had a '92 in 38/40. He claimed his grandfather found it somewhere in northern Colorado. The gun was in decent shape. He decided to refinish it!! All of us just shook our heads in disbelief!

GunnyMack

I saw that Remington has announced a new 10mm long slide in their RP 1911.

GunnyMack

NICE BUCK! Congrats on your first lever gun 'harvest'( have never liked that term). People are too magnum crazy- velocity crazy, what have you. Buddy of mine years ago shot a cow elk at about 175-200 with cast 40-65 hand load, went clean through and she dropped in less then 50 yards. Slow but deadly...

GunnyMack

I too emailed Henry, asked about a 25-29/ 32-20 model. Mr Imperato did reply but not a yes or no answer... Maybe that will get him thinking.

GunnyMack

I would buy a Kimber, then either a Springfield or Ruger.

But I would suggest( as I do whenever someone asks me what to buy) have this fine young man go to an indoor range that rents guns, have him try as many 1911's as possible, then he can form his own opinion.

GunnyMack

You made a good choice. Many people hate Glocks, but many more love them. I bought my G23 back in '91. The finish has worn off, but still works flawlessly. I have shot mine underwater, no need for the striker spring cups to be changed. Feeds and cycles no problem. JUST DONT USE CAST OR HOLLOW POINTS...

Spider killing mice- time to load up some 44 shot shells!

GunnyMack

There was an old timer round these parts that was half 'smith, half retailer, half gun dealer, he worked out of his house. His Desk was covered in gun parts, walls were covered in guns for sale/ repair and supplies, his kitchen was set up for reloading. He had a couple of shotgun presses bolted to t...

GunnyMack

Order a new one, then take both to a local machine shop that has a hardness tester, compare both. Chances are the pawl is/was case hardened or surface hardened. You could hardest the new one by yourself. Brownells has a product called casenite. Only problem is how to hold it to bring it to red heat,...

GunnyMack

I hope they weren't honey bees!?
Wasps,hornets, yellow jackets - blast em to kingdom come!

GunnyMack

I once heard Glock had a Mod 19 that was test fired A LOT! Something like a 1000 a day, day in & day out for a long time, think the only thing they really had trouble with was extractors breaking.

I know my G23 has been through the wringer!

GunnyMack

24 hours later and Claro is doing fine! I wonder how well the BugSalt will work on stink bugs ? My black lab ( Winnie, Claro's mom) like to eat the stink bug then she has to share by panting in your face! I don't mind dog breath but when ode de stink bug is mixed in YUCK! While I was living in CO, o...

GunnyMack

Could be just a simple matter of wrong/ odd angles on lifter. Could replace the fussy lifter and have your smith shape and polish it the same as your cowboy gun. My Henry isn't fond of slow in vertical but works fine slow at horizontal. Don't have a lot of ammo thru it yet so still feeling it out th...

GunnyMack

With 3 labradors I really don't want skunks hanging around. I had a Jack Russell years ago that would kill skunks, 3 confirmed and he never got sprayed. He would hunt anything on 4 legs! Cats were not safe, ground hogs, squirrels, chipmunks opossum... You get the idea. One day this little 15 lbs ter...

My dad has a sign on his desk, he just celebrated his 84th! The sign says ' a clean desk is the sign of a sick mind' I like the compact idea, but my thought for a loading station has always been a U shape. That way you can spread out left and right by only a swivel chair. My set up now is just some ...

She seems to be doing fine!
Living in the woods, we get lots of bugs, I don't mind spiders but they need to stay outside!

I'll pick up some of those Terro traps!

I saw on TV the aSALT shooter, uses table salt and air/spring pressure but have no idea where or if they are still sold.

Last night around midnight my Chocolate lab, Claro, started acting frantic. She was 'itchy' and her face was swollen, eyes almost closed up, muzzle looked like a she went a few rounds with Mike Tyson! I should have taken pictures... Off we go to emergency vet, they administered Benadryl but that was...

GunnyMack

Finally spoke to a guy at Nosler! He says their 210 will be good at 1800! They test/ have data for 1600 from pistol barrels. I mentioned I was using a Henry in 41, he had no idea such an animal was on the market. Seems he is a 41 fan as well, has been trying to get his hands on a Marlin but the auct...

GunnyMack

The 265 was developed for the 444, lots of people had that happen! My concern was exactly what you say, pistol bullets at rifle velocities. That's why I emailed Hornady and Sierra. Couldn't find an email address for Nosler. I keep forgetting to call Nosler. All 3 brands shoot very well, so my pick i...

GunnyMack

So I emailed Hornady back to question their answer for XTP velocity range. They say 1000-1400 FPS. My load is 1800 from the Henry. They tell me I'm pushing them well past what it is designed for. So I guess I better not shoot a deer that is under my stand or out to 75 yards or so! But on second thou...

Just looked at Gun parts website, I know the H.S. Flute King, have one in 410, they list parts, no barrels.

I'd still consider choke tubes or find the missing parts to complete existing comp

GunnyMack

Amen to that brother!!

I have been stocking for years, but I've been loading it as I go.

GunnyMack

Although I have never installed. Cutts, I have done screw in choke tubes. But that depends on wall thickness. Gotta have enough for threads to be cut. Colonial choke used to make a thin wall tube, not sure if they are still on the market. If it was me, I'd put tubes in (if walls are thick enough), m...

GunnyMack

6pt- you are better stocked then I am!

I have only used an XTP to take 1 animal, a big hog. I used my ruger .44 carbine and a 300 grainer. The shot was about 15-20 yards, it went in 44 came out about 1" pig walked about 10 yards and fell over. Double lung/ top of heart. I don't know what the velocity of that load was but I have alwa...

GunnyMack

After gaining chronograph data for my 41 mag load I contacted Seirra and Hornady. My load shows 1800+ FPS with 210 gr bullets. I was curious about velocity ranges that the Seirra Sportsmaster, Hornady XTP were designed for. Seirra says 1800- sure no problem, should do fine for deer. Hornady replies-...

GunnyMack

I don't have EXACT numbers, but from what I have heard, the first 3 days of the season( archery only) produced about 200 bears! Haven't heard about total for the six day season. We had a bear with a birth defect, causing it to only walk on hind legs, of course the media named it Peddels, well seems ...

GunnyMack

I loaded up Berry plated for sighting in, figured why waste good jacketed stuff... NOW I know better!!! Just glad I only bought a 100, I'll burn the rest of them through my Blackhawk. What really impressed me was the 500+ FPS gains with Lilgun over the 20" barrel length. I know you gain with a ...
