. I got the fiber-optic front (unfortunately guessed the wrong height, so have to get a lower one - it will only be 0.07" taller than the original factory front sight, which was a fairly standard little nub labeled 0.180" in the parts diagram (1911 9mm double stack Rock Island). So any con...

Slightly over half of my rifles are leverguns, then in descending order, semiautos (including a bunch of 10/22's each destined for each one of the kids and grandkids), bolt actions, and a couple single-shots.
Handguns are about 50% revolvers and 50% semiautos.

. If you have any pictures of what you did that would be cool. Did you use a Dremel, or hand-file, or what (for the receiver work)...? I do agree that unless one has an 'irreplacable collectible' that is is fine to modify it if you need to (after all it is YOUR gun). If there is an affordable new gu...

. Yep. The primary function of the Federal government, and one it still does reasonably well (powerful and capable, but bureaucratic and ineficient). Most of the other things are far less important, and many aren't even really in the purview of the Feds. Too bad all the imbeciles are out there 'prot...

A complete disassembly of the bolt and locking block will show you the cause. Yep - you MIGHT be able to use some brake-cleaning fluid or WD-40 or whatever to spray right into the firing-pin hole in the bolt-face, and see if that helps. But if it doesn't you'll need to disassemble it to figure out ...

That's very useful expansion over 36 grains of Swiss FFg. The late Mike Venturino and others have mentioned the thinner case neck on the .44 WCF vs the .44 Magnum as being more delicate. I have not yet loaded enough of the former to have any issues with the brass, but have used mostly Starline. The...

Just resurrecting this thread Tutt as it was such a great read. It was interesting to hear NKJ mention that the first three years of Rossi 454's had the early production run issues and they sorted a lot of it out by 2005. I was trying to find another thread where testing was done in the 80's I thin...

If it weren't for some coincidences, I would have grown up in Oregon, which isn't much better.

I realized I have had four AMT firearms - a 'Government' 1911, a 'Backup' in 380, and a 'Lightning' and 'Hunter' in 22 LR (clones of the Ruger Mk2 pistol and 10/22, respectively).

I agree with keeping your 'car kit' upgraded when times show more risk present, for sure...

I've gotten so upset with myself for selling guns that I miss now that I don't sell guns any more, I just buy them. Although I was always careful to do due-diligence so as not to sell one to anyone 'shady', after 50 years of gun ownership, I seldom sell anything now other than to friends or relativ...

. Glad to hear you're doing ok. It is in the nature of some folks to move along from time to time, and sometimes return, sometimes not.

LOL I had to laugh - a patient just sent me this link to the INDEX of Carlson's many interviews - https://rumble.com/c/TuckerCarlson

It is one I can now 'browse' before I commute to work to see if there is an interview worth listening to on my car radio via BlueTooth - generally I find one.

I think that one of the reasons that led to the gathering of the type of personalities we have here is the fact that in the firearms world, 'leverguns' are the classic example of practical, 'down-to-earth' firearms that also have an extra amount of 'Americana' in them. They aren't necessarily the ...
