NKJ’s DVD on slicking up and improving the Rossi 92 has a lot of good and easy and inexpensive suggestions. He even sells the parts if you want to do it that way. I used Steve's DvD and parts to slick up 3 Rossis, a 20" .357mag carbine and two 24" .357mag rifles back in 2009 when they wer...

I run a bore snake through all my arms after I fire them, both before and after I crank the air compressor to 100 psi and blow out the action thoroughly. The air compressor is very effective in cleaning out any carbon deposits and/or other grime. I then check that the action still has grease/oil whe...

Sotomayor's dissenting opinion of the SCOTUS 6-3 ruling today concerning the 1st Amendment is factually incorrect and just shows that the left doesn't care about truth, facts, or individual rights. They demand group think, their way or the highway. https://www.foxnews.com/politics/sotomayor-dissent-...

While I agree that nothing will likely be done, the fact remains that Branden is the first crime boss (that we know of) to be elected president. The average Joe in the US knows it, even the foaming at the mouth liberals do too, though they refuse to admit it. Branden will go down in history as both ...

There is no doubt that Biden has gladdened the heart of Jimmy Carter by usurping his title of 'Stupidest and Most Inept President'. Of that there is no contest. But I was thinking that Biden has actually pulled off a feat never before attempted by any president in the history of the United States. H...

BTW, if they found "unspent" cartridge casings" it implies that you can spend them on something, right? What has anyone seen that they'll take ammo as payment for? Just askin . . . . .

Over the years I've seen doctored x-rays in dead body shows and actual news (lol) broadcasts where there was an entire cartridge in the wound. They're incredibly stupid people, which doesn't make them any less dangerous. Maybe even the opposite. Very much agree....stupid and utterly committed to th...

My 24" Uberti '73 Special Sporting Rifle (pistol grip and nicer wood) in .45 Colt is a blast to shoot. I've tried both 255grn and 200grn bullets and at 200yds with a std pressure load of Unique, the 200grn bullets, and a Lyman #2 Tang sight and target aperture it's a respectable bowling pin pli...

COSteve: I'm confused. While I recognize that most other peep sights have threaded apertures, photographs on his web page for peep sight shows, apparently, a base with vertical female threads and apertures without the usual aperture ring insert threads. This aperture is integral with vertical stem ...

The largest aperture you can get with Steve's bolt top peep sight is by not screwing in any aperture and leaving it a ghost ring.

Dillon's powder measures are in fact case actuated with a fail safe return linkage on them.

So, which type are you? Is our bench kept clean and tidy or is it piled with stuff?

The stock was made by a European company, the name of which I forgot, but it's a premium product. This company specializes in military stocks and this one is a gem.

My son has a 1943 Remington 1903A3 he got from the CMP some years ago. During Covid he decided he wanted to replace the straight stock with a correct for the A3, pistol grip stock.

Yesterday I decided it was a good day to take out some of my leverguns to the range and limber them up. We've had a number of storms with rain the last few weeks so going to an outdoor range hasn't been very appealing. Anyway, I decided on my .357mag Rossi M92 carbine and rifle, my .45 Colt Uberti '...

I must admit, I'm not much of a fan of revolvers, except for single actions, because of the high bore axis and the fact that I got my right wrist crushed in an accident when I was 14. So, I notice the torque of any muzzle flip when shooting. So, if I shoot 6 rds of hot .357mag from a 6" S&W...

So, I've been looking over my inventory of finished ammo and realized that I've got a lot . . . I mean a lot!

I just looked and Brownells doesn't have any Rossi specific rear sights anymore.

It’s therapeutic for me. I like having ammo to shoot whenever I want. So I load large quantities of ammo for the guns I shoot most. I really don’t know that it saves me any money because I shoot a lot more. I also load in bulk partly for the ammo and mostly because I like to handload. It's my most ...

Why Handload? Many who do started doing it to save money or produce hard to find ammo for unpopular or obsolete calibers. I started for a different reason. All of my working life I worked with my mind, not my hands, and I've always looked at making things as recreation. My daughter, when she was you...

Even though I have both, plus a 45acp, my answer, absent being able to depart would be neither. I'd pick my custom 6" Glock 10mm with it's 17+1 capacity of my 200grn hardcast handloads. It's my bear stopper choice so a 2 legged critter would be in a world of hurt.

FWIW, I load .45 Colt using Unique, both 200grn and 250grn bullets and Alliant shows 7.8grns of Unique with a 250grn Speer DCHP (Do Not Reduce). That leaves the case pretty empty looking. Even their 250grn Speer LSWC at a max of 9.5grns of Unique isn't a case filler.

A lot depends upon the powder you are using. TiteGroup is specifically formulated for light loads with minimum case fills. For instance, in .45 acp with a 200grn bullet, Hodgdon says starting is 4.8grns and max is 5.4grns. That's very little powder in that case.
