casastahle , Looks like the auction expired without a bid. It will be relisted I bet! I am in need of a new toy also. Maybe one of those would scratch my itch. :D :D :D EDITED !!

Nice Noah;

Counting mine that makes two of "The Marlin Limited" I've seen. That only leaves 1048 unaccounted for.<G>

I still have the 2 holsters and the 1911 mag left for grabs from my list on page 7.

Mokwaw;

Since no one seems to want the Pachmyer 1911 Mag, I'll give it a good home.

PM on the way.

Nothing like a brand new gun shop!!! Still has that "sterile" look about it.

Post a few more pics 6 months from now with some of the local boys and that "lived in" look. It'll be "just like home".

Congratulations and GOOD LUCK!!!!

Lee's "new" carbide factory crimp die doesn't work like their RIFLE FCD. I use the carbide FCD for .45 Colt black powder loads and it's simply an adjustable roll crimp. Much more than a VERY light crimp and you'll probably buckle the cases. Even a slight difference in length would cause on...

You've got it levers.

PM me an address and I'll try to get it out Monday.

OK, up for grabs is an "experienced" Safariland "upside down" shoulder holster stamped S&W 19. Since my J frames fall out I'm assuming this holster is for a 2" barreled K frame. Too bad I traded off my LNIB M-12 Smith. (Gone to budliteguy) Next is a great vinatge Luger A...

I'd like to call dibs on the Ohaus 10-10 scale.

Us Olde Fartes tend to forget that the Rambo wannabes and Mall Ninjas know ONLY what the slick 4 color glossies tell them, and the PAID staff is only going to sing the praises of whatever the newest thing from the major players happens to be sent to them this month.

Since this particular owner has no idea when the gun was made, much less what parts are "correct", he's getting the aluminum housing and "current" ejector rod head. I tried the parts from my newest Now Model, 1997 Bisley .45 Colt and they worked just fine. Fired off the order fro...

The Whisper "concept" is based on heavy,200-220 gr 30 cal bullets and uses necked up .221 Fireball cases. This gives a COAL that will feed and function in standard AR-15, M-16 platforms. The Whisper was originally intended to be a sub-sonic round for use in supressed rifles. You can also d...

Yance, Read my LIPS .... or text. Ignore the parts listing and order the New Model parts from Brownells. Joe They're all already in my saved "Ruger" cart just waiting for my buddy to drop by in a few minutes with the $$$. I usually get 3 day service from Brownell's so it should be ready t...

Yance

Sorry Joe, it's .357.

Yeah, I kinda "live" on Brownell's site too. Having my 03 C&R gets me a decent discount on most things they sell.

Yance

According to Brownell's part numbers teh screw and rod are the same. Spring and housing are listed as N/A for the Old Model. Guess I'll just have to try parts from one of my New Models and see if they fit, or can be SLIGHTLY modified to fit. Wish all my friends would want stuff from Brownell's at th...

Here's one for you Ruger 'smiths. A friend needs the ejector parts, rod, spring, housing, and screw, for an Old Model Blackhawk. Ruger won't send out as much as a screw for an old model, it must be returned to them for their "safety" modifications, at which time the needed parts will be in...

Another "plus" for the Bisley is the steel grip frame. Don't know about new production Blackhawks but older ones use aluminum. My load isn't "pushing the envelope" using cast bullets. MAX load for 250 gr jacketed bullets in 24.0 gr, and in the .44 Mag a 300 gr jacketed bullet MAX...

Oldmax; Look long and hard at the Blackhawk Bisley .45 Colt. I use 22 gr IMR 4227 under a 285 gr LBT WFN gas checked bullet for both it and my Marlin 1894LTD. It'll thump! With many of the new Rugers be prepared to do some manual labor and spend a very few more bucks. Cylinder throats will likely be...

Kirk; Depends a lot on how much shootin' of what bullets you do. For Volume, especially pistol/revolver bullets, you can't beat the Star. Initial investment is at least twice what the Lyman 4500 would be, and sizing dies are near twice the price. Sizing and lubing 1000 bullets an hour...??? The Lyma...

But they won't let you cycle the action there. The salesman said it's made by Marlin, who bought the Win 94 patent.

Nath;

Think about switching to a much smaller expander ball, just something to hole the decapping pin to the rod and using a Lyman "M" die to expand the case necks. Won't be any round shoulders or neck stretching going on that way.

I had a 1952 336RC that did the same thing. Shot factory 150's into a tight little wad @ 50 yd but all over the paper with loads that shot fine in the Win '94 I had at the time.

Well, I finally got some Cerrosafe and made a chamber cast of my buddy's '76.

I posted earlier this month about the 6 guns I got for $800. Well the upshot of it is I gave the Ruger BlackHawk .357 to my Son in Law. I kept the Mossburg 590 riot gun.

I e-mailed Starline directly about the possibility of them producing .45-75 Win cases since who know when/IF Jamison is ever going to get to run them again.

Since Rossi chambers their '92 in .454 C I don't think you should have a problem with +P .45 Colt ammo. The last loads I shot in my older Rossi were 330 gr bullets chronoing 1540 FPS. Roughly equivalent to the old .45-70-405 load.

Yance

Yup, 30-1. Stay away from linotype except to harden rifle or magnum handgun bullets. Midway has a "Free freight" option on the 4 and 8 ingot cartons. If you figure shipping $$ on lesser amounts you'll see that this is the best bet. http://www.midwayusa.com/eproductpage.exe/showproduct?sale...

Take a look at SAECO's #315. 170 FP gr, "tapered", designed especially for the .30-30. Bottom band on mine runs about .312, nose around .301-.302. I size mine .311.
