Their list is for "modern" handguns. This quote is from their search page. "Effective January 1, 2001, no handgun may be manufactured within California, imported into California for sale, lent, given, kept for sale, or offered/exposed for sale unless that handgun model has passed firi...

Anyone here a CA 01 FFL?

Reason I ask is that I "may" need to ship a Colt 1908 Vest Pocket to TPRK and need to know what I have to do on my end.

I DO know that ANY firearm, long or short coming into CA must go through a 01 FFL. From there it's between that dealer and the buyer.

TIA

As a business owner he should honor his web site published prices, especially since he never mentioned that his prices had increased back in June.

He should know that the internet forums can be kind as well as VERY cruel no matter what your business.

I'm guessing Nancy's working out of town this week?

Lyman 314299 and 19-20 gr SR4759. I have never loaded jacketed bullets for any of my 5 Enfields.

Around here the pawn shops also ask "top dollar" for "beaters". My only real "deal" lately was this little '01 Argie Cavalry Carbine. I bought it half for the rifle, half for the Native art. $199 on the tag, got it for less than half that. http://photobucket.com/Argie91

Google "35 Whelen Garand" and .358-'06 Garand and there's lots of info. (Nothing new under the sun) With the increase in bore space charges can be upped under 225-250 gr bullets and still maintain safe operating pressures. I personally don't want to have to buy too many op rods at $125.00-...

Yep, that's "normal". When inserting the clip the karate chop edge of your hand rests against the charging handle holding it in the rearmost position until the clip lock into place. "Snap" your hand forward and up out of the way and the top round will usually chamber. If you're a...

After slugging your throats, slug your barrel...carefully. Pay CLOSE attention to where the barrel threads into the frame. Many times rather than face off the front of the frame a thou or two, the wrench gorillas just torque the barrel tighter to get it into alignment. Over torquing causes the frame...

And yes, there's a spring that goes over the screw to hold the little primer cup up - and it screws into the swing arm.

Well, since I got used back about 1973 or '74 I guess it IS really old.

Yance

When did RCBS change from the setscrew type to a threaded primer seater plug? Guess My Rockchucker is an "antique".

Haven't posted lately since not much has been going on here in the way of levers, or others for that matter, but I stopped in to say Howdy to my friends at the oldest pawn shop in town Thursday and happened to notice a 2/3 mag tube rifle in the rack. Too slim to be a .444 or 1895, turned out to be a...

Yance

Hobie;

My list must be only a little more up to date than yours. It shows both 1-9" and 1-10" for the HMR, and slight difference in bore diameter for the different twists. Hmmmmmm.

Can't attach the chart here.

Yance

According to Mike Scott from the TCBunch list; "Dave Van Horn made at least one contender barrel 10-12 years ago. It is somewhat unique but the short version of the story is that you should get a 17 HMR. :) Mike" Anyone want to sacrifice a .17HMR or MkIV barrel to have a LOOOONG throat rea...

Yance

Hobie;

I remember the thread on the squeeze bore barrels, but can't remember who owned it (them), but I'm thinking they were DVH barrels. I'll try a shot to the list. If anyone knows the info it'd be Doc Sharps.

Yance

Nice work Gobbler! I like the "counterweight" system you devised to offset that Champion. I hope you really get it through to those kids to treasure and respect than hundred year old blower. They're getting fewer and further between. Here's pics of my "junkyard" build. Everything...

Between the Midway, Brownells and Graf and Sons discounts, I get my $30 back about 100 times over in 3 years. :lol: cas- can you confirm that Graf & Sons offer a discount for someone with a C&R license? Not CAS but I've gotten "dealer price" on a couple of orders from Graf's. Unfo...

Hobie; It actually belongs to my BPCR shootin' buddy. I've been the "middleman", "negotiator", BANK!, etc for nearly all his gun related dealings for the past three years or so. We finally got to shoot the Cimm after the last match of 2009, and then only 50 rounds. Haven't had th...

FOF: I've been following this thread and "I feel your pain". Went through pretty much the same thing for over a year with the Charter 2000 a-holes. Shipped a long barreled '76 Centennial .45-75 back because of a grossly off center chamber and received a short barreled one in return in abou...

Be patient and an older Marlin that's already D&T will show up. The pre safety Rossis I've seen are going for near enough the price of the used Marlins that I'd go ahead with the Marlin if I could only have one or the other. The only 2 used 1894C's that I've seen lately were in the $500.00+ rang...

I've wanted a Contender for quite some time and have just never picked one up. Are the new G2 Contenders better/different enough that I should order a new one or save a few bucks and pick up one of the originals? I found an older barrel in .41 Mag that I want on Auction Arms. I've read that the bar...

:mrgreen: NICE!!! Peed in my canteen on one like that a couple of years back. Guy wanted $250.00 for a 1951 in .35. Trouble was he also had a Contender frame I wanted. Couldn't get both, couldn't make a decision, so I wound up with neither!!! :oops: Since that's a thin pad the stock probably hasn't ...

No trouble finding parts, Numrich, Midway, and Brownell's has them, (Numrich for the "old" style), just trying to find out when they changed designs. Disassembling the bolt today I'm pretty sure that the varnish that was formerly probably 3 in 1 oil was likely the reason for the light stri...

Yance

Yeah Joe, that was my plan.

I just thought it'd be nice to have a spare or two on hand to guarantee that none of mine ever break.<G>

My oldest so far is my 1952 336A .35 Rem. Probably all use the "new" style anyway.

Yance

When did Marlin change firing pin designs? Looking at spare parts and there are two different styles.

My "new" 1975 336 "clicked" on the first round I tried yesterday and had a VERY light mark on the primer. Next two were fine with good deep indentions.

Yance

Buy a 44 caliber throating reamer and you will be able to chamber the larger bullets. I have a pair of Uberti Bisleys that had tight throats. They are both enlarged and now shoot much better. My shootin' pardner has a Cimarron Uberti Model P that won't chamber anything loaded with even a .430 bulle...

Don't know of any gong shoots, but Cherokee R&G club in Kingsport has BPCR&R matches the first Saturday of each month beginning in March.

OK, my buddy finally took possession of his new Cimarron '76 in .45-60 the day before Christmas Eve. He managed to slip it into the safe before his sweet little wifemate got home from work, not that she'd know the difference in a '73 and a '76, but if she were to see 3 that looked a LOT alike, quest...

I had a custom "Slim Jim" crossdraw made for my Ruger Bisley and liked it well enough to have another made by the same Gent for a buddy's Model P Cimarron 7 1/2". For the long revolvers a low slung strong side holster is OK for walkin' around, so is a decent shoulder rig, but if you'r...

I'll pass the info along to my buddy.

I have a friend who is planning on restocking his EMF Hartford .45 Colt rifle in good ol' American Black Walnut and asked me if the Rossi forends were identical to the original Winchester dimensions. Since I had no clue I figured several of you here would know. Me, I'm just leaving the dark stained ...

John; Good thread. Guess I was still napping when I stated the .460 diameter, or had "dis-remembered" a detail or two. Originally I did load those at .460" or slightly under. They would chamber easily, but on my Puma they were just a bit too fat to make it through the cartridge guides...

Yance

Swifty;

My info came from Paco's article on loading heavy boolits for the .45 Colt. You should be able to find it in the archives on the old forum.

This might make it a little easier to find.

http://leverguns.com/articles/paco/45coltlevergun.htm

Yance

Swifty; Like John said, that bullet probably won't stabilize at that velocity, besides the reduced internal capacity and FAST powder making for a steep pressure curve. I shoot the 330 gr Lyman Gould HP (sized .458) in my Marlin and Puma over 23.0 gr H-110 or W296. Velocities out of both the 16"...

Anyone going to the HUGE Hillsville, VFW gun show/flea market this weekend?

Something like 1900 vendors and 300,000 folks passing through over the 4 days.

I'll be there at least tomorrow, possibly Saturday.

Noah; That's the kind of helpful information I was hoping see. I knew the early Cimms were made by ASM and not exactly "top quality", the reason they were dripped. Supposedly Uberti was going to be making their "new" version, but I don't know for sure. Seems nearly all the "...
