Great work, Sarge! Now to hand file a bit of crosshatching on the face of it to break up the glare...

Seriously though, looking good. It'll be interesting to see how it works out for you.

Good post! I'll second that recommendation for "The Caplock Rifle". It's part of my meager shooting library and contains a wealth of information.

The plot thickens...

Wow Guys! The concern for my well being is overwhelming! :D :D I'll probably use up the small boxes, but I think I'll leave the brick intact for now. I have a pretty big stockpile. jb 8) That's what I was doing earlier this month, using up loose boxes and leaving bricks untouched. Didn't have any f...

Interesting. Curious about that "45 LC" marking as it doesn't sound very Argentinian. You've definitely cornered yourself an enigma with this one! Just a wild guess - perhaps the importer reamed out the chamber to 45 Colt, figuring it'd sell better in the US market. But the 44 WCF barrel t...

If you'd rather buy than mix yourself (as in, can't find LLA), here's a link to some folks that market it.

I prefer the 45-45-10 mix to the straight liquid alox. It dries hard and doesn't load up on your seating stem like other liquid lubes do. It also only needs a very light coat to perform well. What's the recipe...??? https://forum.castbulletassoc.org/thread/45-45-10-simplified/ I've never tried it m...

I've been doing a lot of reading about these over the past few days. Not sure what's been confirmed as truth vs. speculation. If I remember right, they were converted to. 45 because .44 WCF was very difficult to find in South America at one time, and ammo was interchangeable between this and their ...

It's amazing how old components like that can survive over the decades even with sub par storage conditions at times.

It's good to "see" you, Nath. Yep, laws may confound reason - because they tend to be written by folks with no knowledge of the subject. It probably wouldn't be too hard to get a law passed against the chemical combination of dihydrogen monoxide, it causes billions of pounds in property da...

I would just dump them into a cottage cheese tub with a good squirt of Lee Liquid Alox, tumble, let dry, load and shoot. ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ THIS As others have mentioned, good ol' Lee lube works fine. On the other hand, I just ran a bunch of 545190's through a Lyman lubrisizer I picked up cheap a while...

Thanks for the confirmation, guys! That's where my thinking was heading, but with all the Ruger revolvers I've had this was a first. I've been reading that it does happen and I'm betting that's the reason the previous owner sold it off. I've been thinking about sending it off to Mr. Bowen for a wor...

WOW! We really have no idea how long we have here. He made a mark and will be missed. May Hope and the rest of his family find hope in their faith. We do not want you to be uninformed, brothers and sisters, concerning those who are asleep, so that you will not grieve like the rest, who have no hope....

Of course, Jay. May God bless baby Eden, her medical team and family and friends.

We've all been watching this craziness for some time and my hunch is.....it won't get much, or any better. I've been contemplating a Jim Kibler flintlock rifle "kit". It's getting harder to talk myself out of this. Yeah, or one of those 45 caliber air rifles ... :| I missed a chance at a ...

I was just going to ask for an update. Prayers continue.

While they don't list the 218 Bee, RCC Brass lists 2 different .25-20 brass... but please be seated when you look at prices... :o Just for grins I thumbed through their 32 calibers. The last one on the list is the 327 Federal Magnum, which I've been trying to get my hands on a decent stash of since...

As far as I know .32 Win. Spl. is not considered obsolete yet? It is in lower demand, so ammo makers don't make much, and when they do the cost is a bit higher. Of course right now everything is overpriced and tough to find, so your best bet if you don't reload is online. Note I put "obsolete&...

Can anyone tell me where to find Winchester 32 special ammo I just inherited Model 94 from 1955 The current ammo scene is spotty at best. "Obsolete" cartridges like the 32 Special are not likely to see any new production any time soon. Your best bet is to shop around for the dies (fleabay...

Do you know what kind of velocity you were getting with the 12 gr? I suspect your analysis on this pistol preferring a certain velocity threshold is spot on.

Far too long, amigo. I was thinking late in the 20th Century, but then thought some more and remembered (how could I forget?) sitting around a fire in the Mark Twain National Forest, along the North Fork of the White River - although we weren't right on the river. It was a grand time. Had my cousin,...

Dang it, Scott -- and it might even take .45 Auto Rim, which is as much fun to load for and shoot as .44 Russian. 8) Check my post up above, Bill. According to Starline their Auto Rim brass will NOT work in single actions chambered for 45 ACP. You could modify a cylinder to accept it, of course, yo...

Its the only Ruger single action that I have seen marked ".45 ACP." When I saw it, I knew that it had to be a part of this experiment. The cylinder appears to be of standard length. But I wonder if it is cut to use .45 auto rim as well? I think I have a bag of .45 AR brass somewhere aroun...

Now I'm trying to remember if I've got a 45 ACP bullet mold or not. Keep thinking I need a 45 ACP cylinder for the old Vaquero, that would keep fired brass in a more user friendly radius. Yes, the way these flangerbangers treat cases sure does make us old revolver guys cringe. Grandsons and I were ...

Welcome to the fire!

So THAT'S what you were talking about in the thread about loading for the ACP. Looks like a handy little popper. Didn't even know they were producing such a thing. Out of curiosity - is that a standard length cylinder? I'd assume so, it all looks "in balance" with the rest of the pistol. L...

Piller, thanks for the reply. In my own mind, the vaccine would have circulated though both while they were one, I sorta knew it wasn't gonna be that easy. Take the matter of AIDS. Typically a baby born to a mother that has AIDS will NOT have AIDS. We know a young woman who got aids as a baby from ...

I was done with ol' Flatsides. Off loaded the pistol and all the loaded ammo a few years ago. Never again. Hate picking up brass. Then I got a chance at Jeff Quinn's Shootists' 30th Anniversary Ruger and got carried away and bought it. Hadn't loaded any 45 ACP in decades, but still had the Lyman die...

So this is what you're scrounging brass and such for. Neato! Looking forward to the range report. That's a lovely looking pistola you've got.

Thanks for all of the replies For some unknown reason I haven't been able to post anything here since this one went up back in December. That situation has now (equally mysteriously :?: ) resolved itself. I missed out on this one. While the ad appeared active at the time of posting it had already s...

I'm kind of hoping that when the Cody letter arrives I'll find that mine was actually requested as is by the original buyer. I'm ok with a full restoration and I'll send the lever and butt plate out for case coloring. Worst case and the stock was replaced and not hollowed properly, I'll live with i...

Thanks for the heads up. I don't always remember to check with them.

Hmmm, so it seems to favor lighter bullets? That's a bit disappointing as I tend to favor heavy for caliber slugs. Looking forward to your future endeavors. I don’t think this test really demonstrates that the gun favors light bullets but rather that it really likes that load. I have some other loa...

Looks like you're set for a while, brass wise. Gotta love stumbling on something you'd forgotten about. Happened to me last summer with some bullets I'd forgotten putting back for future use. Ended up with plenty to experiment with (not for the 327, unfortunately). Hmmm, so it seems to favor lighter...

No Paul...it would be near impossible to,hit anything by slip shooting...most back yard slip guns either had their trigger taped back or removed altogether....anyone with brains (Harold Croft) would have kept the trigger and had the option of taping it back. Quite sure Elmer deliberately used the t...

. I always thought it would be interesting if somebody made little revolvers in 25 caliber or 30 caliber. Or a Ruger SP101 in 32-20 - not light by old standards but is si by today's. I've been wanting an SP101 in .32 WCF for a long time. Unfortunately I don't want to spend the money to have one spe...

That's a likely looking little pocket popper, Fred.

A woods-walking gun caliber should depend on the "woods" you're walking in. Here in black bear and cougar country, I do believe that a .357, or my G30 .45acp would be about as light as I'd care to get. The G30 gets the nod if only for its greater round capacity. It's been a looong while s...

Thanks for that link, Jack. I remember reading that, now that I think about it. And apparently my memory's not too bad as I recalled a 4 foot square target at 700 yards and hitting it with the 11th shot. I'd forgotten that bit about the black powder loads. Interesting that the trigger was still acti...

As mentioned, pictures (especially good quality ones that show detail) are a big help in analyzing a firearm's originality if it's not in hand.

Todd, is that three-screw Single Six of yours accurate? I have been disappointed with Single Sixes in the past, but probably didn't try enough ammo to find their sweet spots. I ain't Todd, nor do I play him on TV. But I'll explain the accuracy of my Old Model Single Six this way. A couple years ago...

Looking good, Scott. I can't for the life of me remember what I loaded up last summer. Mostly 32 SWL, but thanks to the guys here I was able to source a few 32 H&R and 327 Magnum cases and loaded them up with... 115 grain cast IIRC. Nothing too exotic or hot, as the shooter will be my wife and s...

Paul, a great topic. And you mentioned Caz and Rob Applegate, both of whom I emailed with and neither of who I ever met, even though I lived in Oregon. I hope they are both well. Seems Rob relocated to northeast Oregon last I heard. As to the small revolver, I have long thought a modern five-shot b...

I've wanted (hypothetically at least) a Single Six in 25 ACP for a good many years now. Why? Why not? A 25-20 in a S...

So that's the slipgun Keith used to hit the target at 700 yards (IIRC)? Hit it on the 11th shot, as I recall. So much for "short barrels won't let you reach out there"! That is a nifty bit of history right there!

Way back towards the end of the 20th Century there were a couple of sites dedicated to the sixgun and the users thereof. Sixguns.com and Sixgunner.com came along when I was needing to find a break from the pressures of crosscultural ministry and many an hour was spent reading what JimT and JT and cr...

Wow! Lovely rifle indeed! Looks like you're dialed in for deer, elk, bear, moose or whatever else comes down the pike. Are you sure, though, that the 50 Express is enough gun for gophers?

I've been jonesing for a SAA in 38 Spl or 44 Spl for some time - 5.5" barrel. In the clones they only make the 357 mag, but I REALLY want the 38 SPl "just because". So far any I've stumbled on have been way over any realistic budget I can imagine. The 44 Spl seems more accessible, but...

Although I love my old Benjamin, and Sheridan air rifles, and air pistols; I also own a modern Gamo Whisper. It's a black plastic stocked modern air rifle that came with a 4x scope and was under $120 shipped to my door. It is extremely accurate, and shoulders really well. It's lightweight, and brea...
