what that shows, if im not mistaken, is it is a site showing code for repaired remingtons You might look at that again. Using barrel codes (such as those listed above) to date the manufacture are reliable on Remington rifles... As I read it, the repair date would be added to the manufacture date li...

Perhaps this page at the Remington Society will help. Your 721 looks to be from March, 1951.

Gordon died several years ago, and I've been told further development was severely hampered by his having encrypted much of the source code.

One might consider Precise Load instead, a work in progress.

Carrier Thank you. Now I understand the carrier and why the bolt is so narrow. Given the 1873 Winchester worked well enough, this bolt will be plenty adequate. There are a couple of other items I see but don't understand. It's time to pull that patent up again. (I recall the patent said the carrier...

Here are a few pictures showing how the action of an 1888 looks and compares to the later 1894. I nominate you to make a YouTube video showing how all those action bits fit together. :) I admit I can't quite figure out all the details from the photos. The carrier rocker looks beefier than in the la...

for comparison here is my stevens 425 in 35 remington... Thank you. I hadn't read of either of those two rifles. That Stevens bolt looks peculiar. A quick search shows it is indeed peculiar: "... the Stevens bolt is a shorter, square two-piece unit. When the action is cycled, the bolt rolls ba...

I've used a CH4D trim die. It was easy enough to use but wasn't properly formed and dulled my file.

Okay, a quick search reveals Pedersoli has recently redesigned the cartridge feed mechanism, and the updated model is called the Silver Spur: First the shape of the carrier was altered, adding a hump to boost the rear of the straight walled cartridge into better alignment with the chamber. Then, the...

... It seemed to me that the issue was using the cartridge guide in a dual purpose role as the ejector, relying on screw tension to keep from having it try to eject the empty before it cleared the chamber on the one extreme of being too tight, versus flipping the round up into a nose up orientation...

Because of the dryness, Ecel Energy has cut power to vast areas of the front range including most of Boulder. They're now forecasting that the winds will continue until Saturday. My daughter lost power in Boulder for a day and a half. It was shut off as a precaution but damage to lines prevented it...

Seems to be shooting about 5-6" at 50yds and would like to get that down to about 2" or less at 50yds. Shoots like a Ruger 77/357 I have! I nearly bought an R92 carbine in 45 off the rack last month. A web search suggested you aren't the only one with accuracy woes, but the carbine seems ...

KWK

Interesting. I'd had a similar idea but using fletchettes in a semi-auto shotgun.

The one in the video uses a self disintegrating bullet instead. I wouldn't have thought that would work.

How's that R95 been for you, all things considered? I see they make them in 44 Mag, too, a fine short range round.

Nice deer. In what part of this state are you hunting?

Yes, that's doing it the hard way.

My older son's only 410 is an HRA lever. He sometimes shoots skeet matches with it, to the amusement of the 12 ga shooters. He's never in last place when using it.

We also have the NECG aperture sight (which constantly works itself loose). The crown isn't uniform and that so far is our best guess as to what's wrong. It's already been to the factory twice under warranty. I'm ready to trade it away. My son's Super Redhawk was also a piece of junk. I'm very hesit...

I agree it's a good cartridge for a compact levergun. Have you two done any accuracy testing with the rifle? The last Ruger carbine (77/357) I tried was miserable, pie plate diameter groups at 50 yd.

KWK

Now that's tempting. It will easily match the 38-40 but have a slightly lower muzzle report.

It will headspace on the mouth, and I've never loaded for a semi-auto, so I don't know how finicky crimping would be.

Oh, that's nice.

Sorry, I've been out of town. For 2400, reporting QL's numbers as: charge, fps from 20", and psi: 17 1529 21,700 18 1606 24,800 19 1682 28,400 20 1756 32,300 Powder lot variations alone prevent QL from accurately converting charge weight into fps and psi. I generally use it to estimate psi from...

It hasn't dawned on them that every car is a rather deadly weapon.

Of all the old Winchesters I've handled at auction houses, the one I most enjoyed was an 1866 carbine with a crescent butt. These were common early on, but I'd want the later centerfire conversion so I could load for it.

Diesel contains more energy per gallon, and the engines extract a greater percentage of that as useful work. One can pay more per gallon and still come out ahead. Also, it's th...

Well written; thank you. I'd never heard of the region.

My oldest son got whacked very hard with the flu this year. My wife and I have been keeping our heads down, and nothing has hit us as yet. I think I heard the annual flu shot wasn't effective; they guessed the wrong strains to include.
