Update on dies - have been sourced, check sent.

Have an offer for some brass if Starline doesn't fulfill the backorder in time.

Someone needs to tell Jameson Dreyfous about the 480 Achilles. That one Colt SAA cylinder he mentions would be a perfect candidate for such a project.

Talk about resurrecting an old thread. That's a real blast from the past! And like lots of other posts here on the Leverguns Community, well worth re-reading. Interesting bits of info that are timely for folks just getting into the cartridge. I wonder how many are experiencing the 44 SPL for the fir...

I keep thinking I need to find some roundbutt grippystock thingies for my Model 10 HB. I like the look of those. I've a couple sets of grips, round to square butt and one set of ??? one piece grips that attach via a screw on the bottom of the butt. Neither are close to the Llama in fit or feel, whic...

"Forum Behavior" is part of the title in a sticky that's been up there for years. So long it's got fly specs on it... funny, it was posted about the same time of year. Yeah, I wiped this post clean. And now I'm locking it. It just seems like a good idea to let folks cool down a bit and move on. Righ...

Hey guys, how's life treating you in your own corner of the globe? Here between the Canal and the Equator at 4135 ft elevation in Coffee Country we're getting plenty of stormy weather and temps between 15 and 35... Centigrade that is. It's been brought to my attention again from various sources that...

Cool!

Meanwhile here between the Canal and the Equator - it was 95 degrees in the office this afternoon as I sat down to "zoom" with leaders from around the country. That colder weather looks good from down here.

Far from it, but I keep working on it.

That's all any of us can do. It seems like just last year we were praying "for little Jaeger"... going to have to update that prayer a bit.

I've read every thing of his I could get my hands on - being quite thankful for Kindle which allows me to obtain them at decent cost and zero postage. I'd love to have the print copies, but bookshelf space here is quite limited so am content with the ebooks for now. He was quite a character. "The Ri...

There are two sets available on Amazon, Hornady, but they are 108 bucks

I've got bids out on fleabay and 'broker, we'll see what happens.

Rats! Just checked my Starline order. I'd have sworn the 32 SWL brass was in stock when I ordered it, but the order shows "Backordered" for it and the 327 brass as well...

Check Lipsey's...

You can check via zip code to see who might have one near you.

Heres a fancy set that is backorderable with a "overdue" status.

Well, that $106 bucks puts ebay items in perspective!

Paul, are you getting the Ruger Single Seven? You'll like it! It is getting insane on components. I was looking for a mold for a musket, and everything was sold out even on the site dedicated to "the old stuff". I don't think it is going to get any better soon either. :( Good luck!

A lot of younger people (by no means all of them) lack perspective. This is why you see so many teen suicides. They do not realize that things get better and worse as time goes on. I think that people without some life experience tend to be easier to manipulate. Right now we have a lot of people wh...

This is not a good year to be looking for components and such, but I figured I'd see what might turn up here on the forum. This summer, the Good Lord willing, I'll be up in the US for a few weeks. During that time I'll be taking possession of a 327 Federal caliber sevengun. A search for brass and di...

Looks good. I assume there's no need for a Taylor Throat job on it. Every Llama Cassidy and Martial that I've examined down here has had the cylinder misaligned with the barrel. Don't know if it's a issue with the cylinders or the cylinder stops. Brownells used to sell a Taylor Throating Reamer, tha...

That's about as simple as a cartridge firing gun can get. For simpler yet go with no moving parts and a touch hole drilled in the barrel. That cruder design was more fun to shoot as the wide buttstock spreads the recoil out. I suspect he was shooting low brass game loads out of it, high brass bucksh...

If you like, drop me a note with your old email address (or even just part, first or last) and I'd be happy to reactivate it for you with your new address.

Just yesterday I watched these two videos... hadn't thought of Luty in some time. Can't believe they allowed Ian to do this video on Luty's guns.

Wow!

Hadn't thought of that bit of typing in quite some time. Thanks for the memories, of the memories.

Good morning, folks! What a whirlwind we've had around here the past couple of months. I've been busier than a one armed paper hanger with a dollar watch and the seven year itch, but finally got time to do an update on the state of the forum drive. Received to date $790.67 Hosting -$214.80 Private S...

Scott i used to hunt a place on the Devils River about 19,000 acres and ran into Audad pretty regularly, usually hunting turkeys while armed with .22s. This place was near Bakers Cave and had excellent fishing large and small mouth, catfish, caves. The place was so big you could get lost, but would...

Lovely rifle. I'd no idea that they were doing sporting rifles at that stage of the war. I've wanted an Anschutz sporter most of my life, due to my uncle having one back in the day. I've got the Winchester 67 that my cousin carried, but have yet to track down an affordable Anschutz.

Update at 2:43 Eastern Standard Time, $461.26 received so far.

Interesting looking piece there. What cold blue did you use? Some of your compatriots are using Ballistol Bluing on air rifles, from what they're telling me on one of the forums. Some of their results like quite decent, at least in the pictures. That stock really does need something... glad you got ...

Paul, where are we at now?

Bill, I'll have an update in a bit. It's a crazy time here, too many irons in the fire.

Sounds like quite a deal. Free's good. What does it cost to add it to your license?

I just love using anti-gun Paypal for a pro-gun cause, and Leverguns.com is one of my favorite websites. I appreciate all that you do!

That's the way I see it as well...

Good afternoon! 2020 is quickly coming to a close and the bi-annual forum hosting bill is coming due the first part of January. We're going seven directions at once down here in Coffee Country so figured I'd better get on this ASAP so that it doesn't blindside us in a month. Hosting and virtual priv...

Sixgun sold me a basket case British snub years ago. I loaded a few rounds for it, but never fired it with more than a primer. The approach was much more cautious, crimped a round ball over the charge of FFFg (weight of which escapes me at this date). I"ve never had the chance to find the missing pa...

Hey, Rusty. I've not checked with David, we're both fairly busy, but this is pretty much where we are going to be for a while. He might have some tweaks yet to do, but it will be minor stuff. The reason for the change is the change in software. As they've done upgrades to the system that runs the bo...

The new look is odd - because it's different. I'm not getting the non-scrolling header some have mentioned. Whatever theme is running as of 9:30 a.m. CDT on May 11, 2020 seems to be looking good. Haven't checked the message deletion problem today, but the theme looks good.

Sorry to hear of your loss. It's never easy. Both of our current companions are fairly young, but time goes by all too fast.

Heal well, the memories remain.

Heard from David, he'll get to it once he gets a chance. He's working like a one armed paper hanger with a dollar watch and the seven year itch.

Thanks. Got a message from David and as I mentioned, he's up to his hips in a swamp full of gators right now as far as work goes. He's put a Round Tuit into the queue, but paying gigs (and formal responsibilities) take precedence. Thanks for letting us know of glitches and such. And thanks for your ...

11.5" length of pull, no wonder it's only 2.8 pounds. It's obviously for the Mosin nut who's got a 5 year old who wants to shoot "a rifle just like daddy's". Still quite interesting, but have enough 22's (yeah, right), including short ones for the grandkids.

David the Tech Wizard is working his fingers to the bone during this current situation. I sent him an email. Considering the fact that no one's making money off the site, rather it's financed by the voluntary contributions biannually, we don't have funds to do custom work on the system. David volunt...

For quicker notice on things like this, you can contact me by addressing an email to my username, but follow it with an @ symbol and gmail dot com.

We're still a couple weeks, OK, a week and a half, out - but there's another upgrade coming along. The last one was to the database server, this one will be to the operating system. Please bounce to the top like we did last time. Thanks! Date of upgrade: Sunday May 17th Maintenance Window: 8:00pm-10...

Out of curiosity, what were they selling for? They're gone, baby gone already so apparently some folks thought it was a great deal. If you clicked on the link they showed to be selling at $279. Must not have had many, or there was a lot of interest! When I clicked it just said "Out of Stock", no pr...

Please bump this back to the top until after the upgrade to let folks know of possible interruption of service during that period of time. We w...
