Single digits in Texas? Yikes. Our high on Sunday is supposed to be -2 with a low near -20, but that's actually kind of warm for South Dakota in Feb.

You guys take care. That ice is nothing to underestimate.

Nice video Jim. Then is some familiar dies!

Have you seen the prices that the old Rockchucker are bringing on eBay? Close to $300 these days.

Was I in your shoes I'd get all of the missing pieces you need for casting ASAP. I think prices/availability is the best now we're gonna see it for the next six years. Best case. Biden hasn't even done anything yet about guns, wait'll he does. And I'd start learning now as there is quite a bit of ar...

Six, The CEO of Federal, CCI, Speer etc just came out with a video. He says that they're making ammo. More in 2020 than ever before. And they're still making primers, but the primers only leave the factory contained in loaded ammo. That's why there are no primers in the pipeline and why primers are ...

I thank God for Governor Kristi Noem here in South Dakota. The only governor that didn't shut her state down, a true believer in freedom.

I do love a .45, and that includes the wonderful .45-70!

There's a lot of good common sense in that list.

Cat

Are you looking for a particular caliber, or will any do as long as the weight is correct?

It's been many years since I took a 94 apart so I'm a little fuzzy on the details. Fitting a barrel blank to a levergun is much more than just shortening, crowning and chambering. Is there a clearance cut underneath the barrel the 1/3 or so towards the chamber end? The magazine also hangs off the ba...

Oh the board is quite awake. They've fought LaPierre several times and lost. Some serious infighting there, for sure. He is corrupt, and he's not stupid.

100% behind you there Bill. We really need the NRA now and in the coming future.

Nice pistol & pig Scott.

Cat

Yeah Blaine, I think you're correct. I've been through about 5 of these shortages and it always takes a while to recover once the cause goes away. Of course this is the deepest shortage I've ever seen not having lived through WW II. The only outlet for primers now seems to be folks like us who decid...

Guys! If it says Super Dooper Whiz Bang Magnum in the caliber, then it's all good. If not it's obsolete junk. Y'all are gunnies, you should know that. Sheesh!

Nice post. Nice hunt. Nice rifle (though a pic would be nice).

Cat

Maybe just a tad bit heavier too, I bet.

You know Jim, in that pic they look just like .22 Shorts that have the tip filed flat.

I kinda thought that die was bigger . . .

Great pics, great firearms.

What is the little wooden knob in the muzzle of the '86? You didn't leave the cleaning rod in did you?

Cat

Catshooter

Six,

I'm sure if you ask Lee would make you a Factory Crimp Die for that fat little Webley round. I mean talk about demand! There's gotta be at least two or three people out there reloading for that puppy. Not counting you of course.

Cat

The short half of my favorite combo is a .45. The .45 is good from pocket gophers to people to large game (close in). The small game it just pokes a half inch hole through and you can eat right up to it. Larger stuff it just pokes a half inch . . . well you get the idea. The longer half varies more....

Catshooter

Yes, but the re-barreling is the easy part. The firing pin hits in the wrong spot so the locking block has to be re-modeled. Often the firing pin channel is drilled out completely and then a plug is soldered in. Then a new channel is made. Easy to describe, not so easy to do.

Good luck.

Hey Six,

Did you know there is a binary trigger for the 10/22 out now?

Cool. Your dad patented a mold? Tell me more please. With Lyman or did he make his own? Got pics?

I bought your (Kindle edition) book "Old School Gunology" and I'm really enjoying it. Yer making me laugh quite a bit. You loaded 150 pounds worth of cast .357s with a 310 set? You're the man! Let me ask you, how did they hold up? Did you have trouble with needing to full-length-size every...

Hey Gunny, Things are warmin' up here in the Midwest. It's the 2nd week of May, so it's pretty safe to plant your tomatoes. Had frost 2 days ago. I planed taters about two weeks ago and they're coming up fine. That silverware drawer divider you built me is working perfectly and looking good! I thank...

Six,

About that grand you found under your socks . . .

Did you know that the first place and experienced burglar goes to is the master bedroom? And in the bedroom he goes first to either the closet or the dresser? Well, he does.

Now you know.

And you know it's interesting how technology changes things. Forty one hundred a day then, was moving right along. During the looooooooooooog Obama years, Glock got to the point where they could make 90,000 pistols, a day. A day. At that, for most of those eight horrible years they were over a milli...

Six,

Them cans are steel, aren't they? Part of why they're hard and I'm sure they're still carbonated. No way for the CO2 to get out.

Oh yes Grizz, abortions More of 'em in the US alone in a year kill more than 20 times the worldwide death toll from the virus. I'm fairly anti-abortion. I was locked out of Facebook for being just a bit too vocal about it. :) And isn't it interesting how you can count on our politicians to always do...

Cat, your dad lived in interesting times ! I thank him for his service. Thank you gamekeeper, he did indeed. After much fighting they were on there way back to the States when they were sunk. In the middle of the Atlantic, early '42. Took 'em almost four months to get to land (South America) and he...

During the war when my dad and his Liberty ship were moored awaiting off-loading the man in the crow's nest spotted something coming toward them. After a bit they could see it was a Japanese swimming, pushing a log. On the log were satchel charges. The satchel charges made it no laughing matter so o...

And, the World Health Organization said today that the virus for sure came from an animal. So now I know, and can relax that for a fact it came from a lab.

I think in the long run China will suffer for this, heavily.

Exactly so Jim. The bad can get in-between me and a gun just one step away. Mine stays on me, always, if I'm dressed.

Looks like most everywhere I've ever lived or care to!

I do love a .45 . . .

Cat

Catshooter

Doc, It's been years since I read it, but if I recall correctly from ignition to bullet exit for a .45 ball is in the hundred thousandths of a second. Like seven or somethin. Not sure. GI 7.62 is slower than our .308, so probably more like 2,500 fps. Thus angular rotation would be tiny. Or even less...

Pretty warm for a winter here in SD. Coldest we've seen so far is -11. Weird.

Earl, I love Universal! It's a great powder. I'm glad your experience with it in the -55 was better than mine. If I was careful to hold the rifle muzzle up and then slowly bring it to level then it grouped really well. If not . . . I'm sure it worked well for you. I have learned over the years that ...

Six, Oh man. Me flying down with cash would be the best solution for the moulds, you're spot on with that. Too bad I can't. I could pick & choose and rough date the rest. That'd be a blast.

We're hurting your feelings? It's not Gunny who's stuffing the little guy into a Flat Rate Box . . . he'll just, uh, help him by unpackaging him. Yea, that's it. Unpackage.

Gunny, In Keith's "Hell I Was There" he talks about putting three or four .45 slugs through a suspicious looking gunny sack, "Just to sorta loosen up whatever was inside." I love cats, but if you get a 30 pound box from Six the .41 should work. I'm thinking that whatever's in the...

Them parts gun ARs can be exiting. I put together a pistol in 5.56, took it out to sight it in and see how it shot. Target at 50. First round on paper! Adjusted the sight and the second round was closer in. With the next pull of the trigger seven rounds went down range before I could get off it. Nin...
