I treated myself to a set of texasgrips spalted maple extended grips for my old army.

They are breathtaking in both appearance and price

A cast bullet that has been powder coated would be a few thousandths larger in diameter.

The photo makes it quite clear. It is, in fact, a Vernier scale, dividing the 5 degree segments of the main scale into single degrees.
Griz was correct.
I don't know how I missed the post before mine.

.... However, it has one feature I can't figure, what am I missing here? In the arc of the fold-out, on the inside of the arc it has 0 to 180 degrees on the outside of the arc on the main body, it's marked 1 to 5 with .5 subdivisons - what is this used to measure?

Cool beans! I fitted a conversion cylinder to my Ruger Old Army a couple weeks back. It works well enough and shoots about 8" high at 50 feet. I need to scout up some lighter bullets to bring the point of impact down a bunch. The lack of paperwork is refreshing. The need to disassemble the gun ...

I have never owned or shot a Dardick.
I do have one of the trounds in my cartridge collection and I remember when Numrich Arms was selling off the last of the factory guns, during my Teens.Nobody wanted them and they remained for sale for a long time.

I use Unique in most of my 45 Colt loads. I don't need to "magnumize" the 45, even though they are shot in Ruger New Vaquero, Blackhawk, Bisley, and Redhawk revolvers.
I have a Super Redhawk in ,454 and a half dozen .44 mags if I feel the need for speed

1862 Police ?

Nice find!
Mine shoots 3/8" groups @ 50 yds with regular (non-match) ammo.
Good luck with yours.

I've bought a fair bit of parts from both Delta Team Tactical and Joe Bob Outfitters over the recent couple of years. Any problems were handled to my satisfaction.
BTW, A2 stocks are a little scarce, sometimes.

Very good news, indeeed ! i shot Contenders in NRA Hunter's Pistol back in the day. I will buy another, just because, when I can. I still have 3 of my original 4 frames and a dozen barrels in various calibers. I just hope that the new ones will be compatible with the originals. :D :D :D :D :D :D

jhrosier

I have had a bunch of .22 rifles over the past 50 years.
My favorite has become a CZ 452FS.
It beats all for combined workmanship, appearance, and accuracy.
I never imagined that a full-stocked rifle would shoot 3/8" groups at 50 yards.

I bought a couple Ruger grip frames directly from the factory a few years ago. I don't know if they still offer them. Be aware that the grip frames are not finished as each one is fitted to the width of the cylinder frame and the outside surfaces are polished.. the SBH Hunter grip frame has the roun...

A Model 1895 musket in 7.62x53mm would be worth lusting after.

Since I retired a year ago, I get to the gun club about four times per week. The range is about 10 minutes away from home so I go sometimes when I might only stay a half hour.
There are about a half dozen of us who meet often after lunch to shoot, or sometimes just to shoot the bull.

My 300 BO brass is even cheaper because a fellow gave me a couple gallon box of fired 5.56mm blanks to make into 300 BO brass. I haven't blowed myself up yet, so don't tell me military blanks aren't safe to use for live ammo. Also, when I bought the Harbor Fright cut-off, I got the next size larger ...

jhrosier

A 7.62 NATO AR10 and a 5" barreled .357 Rem. Mag Ruger GP100 would certainly simplify things.
A bunch of Y'all, similarly armed, would ensure that none of us would need to fire a shot in anger.

I would and have resorted to carrying a cap & ball revolver in circumstances where a modern firearm was not an option.

I've seen their people out test firing a new line of single shot shotguns made in China. They are unremarkable copies of the old H&R break actions, said to be introduced for a bit more than $100. Unless the Chinese are prepared to offer a clone of the '99 for short money, we're not likely to see...

I started to loose interest when he mentioned $2200.00 for the cheaper model of the gun. I have an 8 pounder of Reddot powder and 8 K of S&B primers that I paid about $320 for.

BTW, Lyman offered full length sizing dies for many calibers.
They were used by pressing the case in with a bench vise and then pushing the case out of the die with a punch.
I have one in the box, like new, for 30 Govt. (30-40 Krag).

I have two handles and five die sets for the Lyman 310 tool. I'm not sure how or why I got some of them as two, 22/250 & .243 Win., are in calibers that I've never owned. I think that I loaded a box of .308 Win. once and decided that it was more messing around than I was willing to endure. I hav...

Back in my mis-spent youth, I converted .577 Snider brass to boxer primed. I drilled the primer pocket out and made a tapered insert from a .22 hornet case. The converted case was still going strong after a couple hundred shots, when I sold the gun. A pal of mine used to decap berdan cases, flatten ...

I had shot some back in the day ( 1960-something) . They were commercial/experimental loads. Perhaps Winchester... I think that they were 45 ACP. more interesting than useful.

I have developed a fondness for the 1903A3 Springfield rifle.
Not so much for "only one" as for "first choice.
I might replace the '03 on the top of the list for an 1895 in 7.62x54Rmm, if I could find one in exelent condition AND in my income bracket.

I've got two Bearcats that I've not fired in recent memory.
One is steel framed and the other alloy.
They both have terrible sights, rough chambers, poor triggers, and indifferent accuracy.
When I grab something to go plinking, it is usually the single six hunter or the 22/45 lite.

I wonder if the type of sizing lube could cause a problem?
I would try Imperial sizing die lube which is a sort of wax that you rub on with your finger.
