What a shock! I hadn't heard that Union Station had broken up! I remember the first time I saw Allison K. Willie Nelson introduced her as his protege on Austin City Limits back in the early 80's a.i.r. I was struck dumb. I hadn't heard bluegrass since I was a little kid and thought it was long dead....

Pepe Ray

O.I. yeah, I can believe that cutting,shaping that plastic would be chore &1/2. Working walnut is a lot easier. It was a worthwhile project tho. The kid could learn proper mounting and have more fun hitting the targets w/a carb. that fit him. At the rate he's growing (5-11 @ 13 yoa) ,I'll need t...

Pepe Ray

Yes and no. I believe that a Win. M92 would make a satisfactory replacement, tho any replacement will probably need a small amount of in-letting. Your question is vague however and I must assume that you were asking about using a M94 stock, correct? Because I didn't want to cut the factory stock on ...

Buncha kids!! Reach back for Glen Ford in "Cowboy". Oh By the way, Regarding the comment about the .30 cal Hawkin in J.Johnson, I've recently read an explanation which makes sense and may sooth your irritation. The "old timers" never had micrometer measuring devices and the commo...

Did ya check out "Wild Bird", the elder ladies winner?
How do you think the "Speed Champ" would have faired using her loads?
Sorry CASS boys. I'm disgusted!

Browning? Yeah? No kidding? Who'da thunkit? It's real easy to recommend a Cadillac even tho a Chevy will do. I don't know anyone who drives a Caddy nor anyone who hunts with a Browning. In either case I'll wager that there have been people who've had problems with both. The Rossi's are fine, subject...

A 17 5/8" bbl?
What's the story behind that?
Pepe Ray

Pepe Ray

If you look at the fine print in the RCBS catalog you'll note that the Small base and ultra small base dies are made specifically to address the weak extraction problems exhibited by semi autos and Sav. M99 chambers.
Pepe Ray
P.S. There are exceptions of course.

Pepe Ray

Not knowing the history of it, has this Win. been "slicked up"? If so, you may have a weakened hammer spring giving inconsistent ignition.
Good luck,
Pepe Ray

Here's a piece of lore that I read about many years ago.There was a famous old bear hunter that wandered all over Appalachia and the North East. He carried a Sav. 99 which was originally a ,303Sav. Because he couldn't always find ammo wherever he'd pop out of the woods, he had the chamber fresh ed w...

Flood ,Bangor,Maine. 1974 0r 75 or thereabouts. Dakins Sporting goods distributor was down town and their shipping room was in the basement. Lots of stuff was sitting in water for a few days.

Hobie;
I'm sure you got this information from Ross but, do you recall what publication it was in?
Something like that I would have clipped but I don't recall it.
Thanks for your input.

I've got a Legendary Frontiersman also and I'd make a small wager that if we all slugged our bbls that there would be as much variation in them as was in the older rifles.
Slugging it is the ONLY way to go.

I always thought that Brace Beamer was the Lone Ranger. Maybe I spelled it wrong. I never saw it in print. Can anyone guess why?
Pepe Ray

Pepe Ray

Don't know why your being ignored. Sounds like a good question to me. First ;There are 2 methods that saddle rings were mounted. The 'staple' method does not lend itself to hobbyist work. Imagine stapling a ring to your receiver! Nope!!! The other type is as hole machined onto a threaded stud. The r...

Lyman, the company that ought to know, produced a loading kit back in the '60's. It was complete for one cartridge. Tong tool & dies, bullet mold, sizer and all the tools for a beginner. This kit in 30-30 included the Loverin 311466 mold which has a profile perhaps sharper than the one that your...

O.S.O.K. $35 shipped sounds like a deal to me. P.M. me your address and I'll send you a check. Ship when you've got the cash in your hand. How's that sound. As you can tell, I'm not against modifications. I promise to take pictures too. I'm still struggling w/the new camera software, but making prog...

Pepe Ray

I can't give details on something that doesn't exist. The original posted question specifies "NO modifications". I realize the various available mounts can be mounted "BY Modification". Many of you have given good and encouraging advice and instruction but he doesn't want to D&am...

All this is great info. Good instructions on HOW to do it BUT to answer your question as you asked it' NO , Niet, Negative. I dont know why. Seems like a logical after market venture to me. But It ain't been done yet. I've got Scout mounts from Burris (out of production) made for the top eject 94 bu...

To keep w/the spirit of the thread, I'm trying to develope a load for my 625 to use this fall. Got some serious casting to do this summer to get some boolets for testing. There are some bedding spots where I couldent get a good shot with any rifle. You must don water proof cloths, and get down under...

Pepe Ray

I went as far as I could go. Established a hunting load with my bullet of choice, made sure it functioned thru the action and waited for a moose lottery draw. I haven't drawn blood w/it yet. It carries great for an old f--t. Handles fast, which is of great importance in the scrub where I live and hu...

I'm surprised that it was still there when you called back.

All partitioned bullets are harder to "engrave" with rifling than standard jacketed bullets. WAEBE (with all else being equal) the partitioned bullets , regardless of brand, can be used with the same powders as stnd'd bullets but MUST be worked up to from starting loads.
Pepe Ray

Pepe Ray

Thanks for remembering, Hobie. The main problem with my choice of cartridge (260Rem) was that there was no 160 gr factory ammo and consequently finding bbls with a fast enough twist meant that I had to sacrifice one of my M96 Swedes. Yes, assembling 160 gr. ammo that would feed took more than a minu...

Water under the bridge!! Back in the '70's Redfield made the "Frontier" model mount AND scope for the IER concept. It was only later that Col. Cooper made the Scout concept semi popular. The Redfields were 3/4" tubed. Mine is a 2 3/4 X w/post. Base utilized the Dovetail and bbl. band....

F.Y.I. The Speer 220 gr. FN is illustrated in the Speer #9 reloading manual, circa 1979. Loads for a 220 gr .cat.# 3585-220-R-SP are given in Speer Manual#3.Circa 1959 altho it is NOT illustrated. It is safe to assume that the bullet was originally designed for thr .35Rem. I have no info at hand to...

My Accurizer came in today. Nice looking rig. It'll be a while before I can use it. Lots of stuff on my plate right now. I will post results for the crew as they are accomplished.
Thanks , Pepe Ray

You can check your progress by taking 2 boolets, one treated and one Not treated, place them nose to nose within the jaws of a vise and squeeze. Obvious results will show your success.

Heads Up!! You have an OLD RCBS standard die set PLUS a newer carbide sizer that someone has supplemented the set with. The old 3 die set is from the '70's or before. One of the reasons I quit them is because they used the same design for the 44's and the 38/357's. With this design you couldn't load...

Boy! Can I sympathize!! Trying to find a bright ,clear spotter w/o taking out a new mortgage is next to impossible. I've studied on it and rationalized that I'll never be able to afford one of the top brands so I've re evaluated my criteria based on what I've learned. 1. No variables 2. mid range po...

Seems we're still having the same old miscommunication Problem. The poster was asking about a FCD for a handgun/straightwall/ ctg. Several of respondents are touting the FCD's for rifle/bottleneck ctgs. NOT THE SAME. Two different dies entirely. I've been trying to think of a simple acronym for each...

My experiances mirror those of AJMD's Have 3 installed and am very satisfied. On one of them the spring that holds the stanchion upright seemd to be slightly weaker than the others so instead of replacing it or calling the Mfgrs I used my Dremil and deepened the notch that the spring rests in to sec...

It sounds to me as tho your work surface has gone "off" level for some reason. Try putting a card or two under one end.

Be sure to do your focusing using the "sky view"technique.
If you focus looking at a target you may need to redo as viewing conditions change.

You don't need a magnum!
Back in the '70's I shot IHMSA with a Rug.Bkhk.45Colt/.45ACP.
The standard 45ACP will take down the rams. (If you can hit them)

O.S.
It's never a bad thing to know your headspace dimensions but, be aware that many( Most?) of those Pumas have excessively strong ejector springs and they will mark a case, any case, and toss them as far as the next township. Thats why Steve sells reduced power ejector springs.

Hi Oz; Can't understand why know one has jumped in here for you. The 1886 Win was chambered in the .33 Win.n May have also be3en called 33 W.C.F., not sure.

Yes the Rossi dove tails (in blued guns ) is over American standard. I call it a metric beast. The easiest/cheapest fix is this. All of the open sites are on a spring leaf rivited to the dovetail male base. Drill out the rivit. Locate the preferred sight, cut off as close to the base as possible and...

We have several well stocked gunshops within 50 miles of my home. Plus a number of "home shop FFL's". The HS/FFL's have an advantage because of low overhead. They charge a flat rate or low %. show you there costs and order what you want, IF you know what you want. For just gun shopping and...

Date of manufacture has absolutely no bearing on the bore size. My brother and I have 3 M94 Winnies and they ALL have bores of .380 to .382 including the one made in 1979. The cowboy CAS gang have been having a H377 of a time with the Marlin M 95's "oversized bores". Instead of learning ho...

You can even find plastic WW's. Some of the new car WW are plastic coated or painted to compliment the n...

No quarrel w/choice of chambering. BUT the spool magazines are tuned pretty close to ctg profile. I'd try to make a dummy function in the spool before I sunk any dough into a new chamber.
