Happy birthday, fellers!

Thanks for the tip.

Well since I commented last Sunday, Donald and Elon have divorced! Probably no more DOGE.

JBowen

JBowen

Memorable for sure! Great score!

JBowen

JBowen

It certainly is Doc. I agree wholeheartedly.
Thanks to everyone involved in keeping this forum going.

Turned out good. I like the darker stain.
I bet Marty would approve.

Nice rig! Thanks for sharing.

I use 23 gr. of IMR4227 in my Winchester 94 and the H110 load in my B 92 Browning. But my knuckle busting Dragoon trigger guard on the Super Blackhawk not so much, I found a good plinker with my cast Lee 429-200 rf and 10 grain of Unique and it is pretty accurate. The 240 XTP and 18 gr. of 2400 is n...

JBowen

I done a little bullet comparison to today between the 240 grain Hornady XTP and the Everglades (Zero) bullets. I was shooting a Winchester 94 Trapper, a Browning B92 20" and 1 Super Blackhawk 7 1/2". I have read where SAMMI for rifle barrels is .430-.431 and revolvers is .429, so I wanted...

JBowen

Thanks for the replies, fellers. I know what's going on now. It seems like bots are trying to take over.

Bryan, sorry you had a bad experience over on Cast Boolits.

JBowen

JBowen

I agree.... We need more DOGE!

JBowen

JBowen

Thanks for the update, Rockrat.

JBowen

JBowen

Very nice! I have never seen one of those in person. If I did I would probably break my arm getting my wallet out.

I am not a member of the Cast Boolit forum, but I visit there frequently. I know a few on this forum are posting members there. I have not been able to open it up lately. Is it down or have they blocked me out someway? As far as I can get is a sign in page, for which I am not set up. Any thoughts? J...

JBowen

Sorry to hear of your loss, Tycer. God Bless.

JBowen

I second what Walt is referring to. My RIA 1911 does not have much of a throat. I have been casting some 200 lrfn bullets that the nose is too fat and they don’t pass the “kaplunk” test in the barrel.

JBowen

JBowen

I wish I could send some your way Bill. We have had more than our share. I would like to cut and bale some hay but it is still too wet with more on the way.

JBowen

JBowen

Thanks for the suggestion, JMick. I may have to try it. A short search says it's a flour corn, but that does not mean it don't taste good. I don't like real sweet corn anyway.

JBowen

JBowen

Gunny, there seems to be obstacles of every kind when trying to grow a garden. Last year I had a plague of grasshoppers of Biblical proportions. They got more than I did.

JBowen

I could not get on most of the day yesterday.
This morning it is super slow.

JBowen

JBowen

Ray, that was a bummer! Some varieties just will not come back true, especially hybrids. I have heard that planting cucumbers close to cantaloupe will cause the
cantaloupe to taste like cucumber.
Thanks for the heads-up.

JMick, is that sweet corn?

JBowen

Thanks for sharing, Grizz. Looks like a good time was had. That knife looks like a fine piece, and I wouldn't want to break it either.

JBowen

JBowen

I have started saving Heirloom vegetable seeds. So far I have had good luck with Clemson Spineless okra and Pink Eye purple hull peas. I have just planted Charleston Grey watermelon seeds I saved last summer to see how they do and I plan to save some Contender green bean seeds this year as well. I h...

Great story, Jim.
Thanks for sharing.

Gun Broker and Guns International would be a good place to start. If you have some really rare premium firearms, it may be a good idea to find an appraiser
from a reputable auction house.
Sorry you are having health problems.

JBowen

JBowen

Thanks, Paul!
It's amazing how people can make do with so little.

JBowen

JBowen

Nice!!

JBowen

I'm with you Doc. Everyone knows that that law would not help one bit. Probably make things worse.

JBowen

JBowen

Thanks for the tip on these holsters. I have a Uncle Mikes holster almost identical to the one you have for your 1911 that I keep my P95 Ruger and a spare mag in. It has the metal clip and has been a good one, but after 15 + years it is starting to get thread bare in a few places. I may have to purc...

JBowen

Welcome to our Great State!!

Praying for you, Joe.

Good to hear that it’s not discontinued. I am getting low myself and would hate to do without.

Prayers up.

Praying.

Thanks for sharing. I have never seen any of these H & R rifles. Looks like a good project.

Thanks Scott and everyone for sharing your experiences on fire lapping. I have a couple of .45 Colt Vaqueros that needs me to get out there and do this.
Good thread!

You could also try Homestead Parts https://homesteadparts.com/shop/
or
Old Arms of Idaho https://oldarmsofidaho.com/

Original 1886 parts may work, but I have no idea. May be worth the research.

My new "Go to" penetrating oil is "Free All" . It can be purchased at O' Reillys Auto Parts Stores around here. It will get carbon out of a rifle bore like none other
that I have tried. That being said, I have never tried Kroil so I can't compare.

I like my Lyman 450. Each brand will have its own minor learning curve so not sure what translates to the Lachmiller machine. But once you get it figured out it runs smooth. You lube and size a bullet quickly, and without any lube on the nose. Lyman and RCBS dies and top punches interchange. I've f...

Happy Birthday!!

Happy New Year!

JBowen

Back at you— Happy New Year!

JBowen

Happy New Year guys!

JBowen

Thanks for all the feedback fellers. That is exactly what I was looking for. I think I will clean this rig up and try to make good use out of it. If I remember correctly it was given to me when I purchased a bunch of reloading components from a guy who bought them at an auction. I also have a few ol...
