Chris, I'm also curious what bullet was used in the 45-70. CRS what type of Woodleigh bullet did you use? That's impressive ballistics from the Model '95. -Tutt

CowboyTutt

The new Marlin's have a half-cock safety, and a cross bolt or "hammer block" safety that only works in half-cock or full cock. I don't really see the harm in the addition of the cross bolt safety myself. The Henry's use a transfer-bar safety as Pillar mentioned was possible. I would like t...

Me likey!!!!

Hi Weiler, welcome back and I enjoyed your pictures and set-up. You went to a lot of work to do all that, I'm impressed. It looks like the receiver of your #1 has some CCH? I wouldn't mind more rife pic's if you have them by chance, but don't trouble yourself to take new ones. Anyhow, nice job! -Tutt

CowboyTutt

Wow, nice find!!!!!

-Tutt

CowboyTutt

I didn't know Miroku ever made '73's. What is the finish on it? Caliber? -T-

CowboyTutt

Well Tallboy, what did you get???

CowboyTutt

So recently I was wondering who makes a very good SAA anymore? And I was watching this video you posted and was very impressed. Then I found this: https://stdgun.com/single-action-revolver-case-colored-45-lc/ Oh my. I already have some projects in the works but...oh my. This could be trouble. -Tutt

CowboyTutt

OMG too funny! -Tutt

CowboyTutt

Looks great, bet it shoots great too! Magna Porting works and on a rifle you lose less velocity than with a full blown muzzle break. -Tutt

CowboyTutt

Got it Harry, thanks! -Tutt

CowboyTutt

If its just an interference fit then you should be able to drive it out with a pin punch. They come in sets, you probably already have some I'm guessing. -Tutt

CowboyTutt

I just ran Quick Load for the Barnes 200 grain TSX bullet. First best powder for velocity was Winchester 748 Powder (it generated a very different powder list from my 250 grain Hornady bullets!). An even 50 grains of it had a MAP of 59,042 PSI ESTIMATED and 2594 FPS out of your 19 inch barrel. Too h...

CowboyTutt

For sure. Its gonna take a while to get it cleaned up. Someone did not believe in gun cleaning lol.

Yeah, I sort of saw that from the chamber pictures! LOL -Tutt

CowboyTutt

I'm not so much into that cartridge, but that is a GREAT looking firearm that will make a nice family heirloom! Come back with a range report when you can my friend. -Tutt

CowboyTutt

Good information, thanks for posting that. -Tutt

CowboyTutt

That looks very nice! If you could CCH the lever, trigger and hammer, it would be out of the park! Keep us posted! -Tutt

CowboyTutt

Nice going Nath! -Tutt

CowboyTutt

Not the worst looking commemorative I have seen. Seems like a lot for a 22 LR though.

Super nice Rim, but super expensive anymore! Good taste as usual though! -Tutt

CowboyTutt

I understand you. MIne is in 358 Winchester also, great cartridge and you can really make the most of it handloading in the strong BLR action. -Tutt

CowboyTutt

They probably have that too, she said to call them if you want more information. -Tutt

CowboyTutt

Nice bolt gun BB! -Tutt

CowboyTutt

Tallboy, I heard back from Boyd's Gunstocks. She sent me the following links for you to check out. They have everything you need from standard walnut to fancy grades and best of all, they are fully inletted for either pre or post 1964. -Tutt https://www.boydsgunstocks.com/product-configurator/winche...

CowboyTutt

You certainly can't go wrong there. One advantage to choosing a '94 is there are aftermarket stocks available in many choices. Most of the time they are "semi inletted" and will need final fitment. You could probably upgrade your wood, order it without checkering, and keep the original woo...

CowboyTutt

BK, you seemed to have stumped us. I like to think I know a little more than most how about the modern BLR's as I have one, but what you are trying to do is beyond what I had done to mine. Maybe call up a gunsmith who has worked on one? It doesn't sound like Browning is much help to you. -Tutt

CowboyTutt

Tutt, do you remember the Chief Sitting Bull commemorative? Wasn't that the one with rows and rows of brass tacks protruding from the stock? Aargh! Yes, I do! The engraving was OK but the brass studs or tacks was just too much. https://www.rockislandauction.com/detail/2060/940/winchester-model-94-c...

CowboyTutt

Now THAT is a great idea and tid bit of information, thanks Pard! -Tutt

CowboyTutt

Looks very good Grizz! Looks like you did a good strong 2 pin mount on the spear head too. I worry about some of the mounting options people are using. Mine originally just came with a wood screw from one side. Not nearly strong enough for real world use if you ask me. -Tutt

CowboyTutt

Had the spear tip made for me from a guy in Ukraine. I had him engrave it with "Slava Ukrainia" on one side and "Hyram Slava" on the other in Cyrillic (Glory to Ukraine, and its heros). I didn't like the shaft it came with, so I ordered up a staff made of Ipe wood (South African ...

CowboyTutt

Looks great! Don't forget to weather proof it! Something that nice needs to last a long time! -Tutt

CowboyTutt

That one doesn't look so bad as is either! Seen worse, good find. -Tutt

CowboyTutt

Apparently from what I read regarding using 44 Mag brass, you have to thin the case mouth and the case head may be too small. I'm sure you are right and better options out there. I have no idea which one is best. I think brass manufacturers have moved away from making obscure cases to focusing on ma...

CowboyTutt

Yeah Tutt I get the bulge, guess I never paid attention to it and just put the cases back on the press. Not had a case failure but then again I dont shoot my G23 much, hate looking for brass in the weeds! I never hotrodded the .40. I did witness a .40 AR upper slam fire, boy that brass looked more ...

Every time I see some idiots put something explosive inside of a container of some kind, the result is the always the same. Lucky to be alive the lot of them!

CowboyTutt

That's a tough one. I did do a search and there might be some for sale from some unknown sellers but be very careful they are legit. 38-40 brass will work and you can get an alert set up at Graf and Sons. You can make it from 44 Mag brass but its a PITA. -Tutt

CowboyTutt

Gunny, I have. At least in the 10mm. The Glock chamber is unsupported in the 10mm unlike a 1911 in 10 which is fully supported and you can re-load the cases easily enough. This might be a non-issue in low pressure chamberings like 45 ACP. That being said, regarding the "Bulge Buster" from ...

CowboyTutt

That's a tasteful one as far as commemoratives go. Nice find! -Tutt

CowboyTutt

Congratulations! Like money in the bank, will only go up in value. -Tutt

CowboyTutt

Well, I have been researching for days on what to buy in 22. Lots of stuff out there, some of it amazingly expensive like 94/22's and certain bolt actions. The Henry's in lever and pump form looked pretty good and I came close to buying one of them. Now is not a very good time for me to be buying an...

CowboyTutt

It looks like a fun cartridge and rifle but not so good for reloading upon further research. It turns out FN had to put a lacquer coating on the cases to make them feed and cycle reliably and you have to be careful not to strip this coating off while cleaning (no tumbling). Once fired brass is all t...

CowboyTutt

Arrrgh, you guys are a terrible influence, you know that?

Been looking at 22 Mag rifles tonight of various sorts..... -Tutt

CowboyTutt

I can't get the photo's to load? -Tutt

There online ordering system is down so you will need to call to see if they actually have it. You are not going to like the price.

I was looking up Thorium nuclear reactors and came across this: Molten Salt Reactors Update: See our full page on Molten Salt Reactors for more info. One especially cool possibility suitable for the slow-neutron breeding capability of the Th-U fuel cycle is the molten salt reactor (MSR), or as one p...

CowboyTutt

You guys are way ahead of me, I had to look that cartridge up. Very interesting case design, not very hard to make. -Tutt

CowboyTutt

Well, since the venerable 30-30 seems to be the hot subject right now, I thought you guys might enjoy this extreme range shooting with it. Mark does this off hand no less!

Wind of Sagebrush Longshots would have loved this stuff! -Tutt

Hmmm, for ultra long range stuff, your best off with something in the 338 to 40 caliber. Hornady makes a really nice 390 grain A-Tip Match bullet in 375 that has a ridiculous BC of 0.987 and works in a typical 1:12 twist 375 H&H barrel but they recommend a 1:11 twist. I do like the idea of the 3...

CowboyTutt

He told me recently he is thinking of writing a 2 volumn edition of Metallic Cartridge Handloading. Here's a knock off of his first generation LAW Brake. Maybe it could fit your application.

I wasn't sure where to post this data, on this thread or your new one on availability of 348 component availability, but since you specifically mentioned Quick Load, I put it here. It appears you are correct and judging from their website, Hornady has stopped making all bullets in .348 caliber. And ...
