Am I to understand you HAVEN'T contacted Browning??? jd45

sixgun, I've read that .45 Colt-chambered firearms, both long & hand, routinely are bored to the high side of the chamber dimension spec, (.492"), and the rifles are even bored slightly cone-shaped to aid in feeding. If that's true, I should be neck-sizing my brass as well. Regarding your s...

I followed Steve's DVD to slick up my .45 LSI Puma. While I had it apart, I filed back that little "backstop" at the rear of the cartridge lifter & now my 310GR handloads with a LOT of bullet out of the case, & crimping in the crimp groove, will feed from the tube...no problem. And...

jd45

JkMa, you're right about the need for drilling & tapping to mount the receiver sight, unless it was already done before it left the factory, which I doubt. Do you know of a reputable gunsmith in your area who you can trust to do the work, if need be? I think it'll pay off handsomely for ya. P.S....

jd45

Thanx oly. jd45

jd45

Can you say "pee" here? Cause I just peed my pants! Those BOTH were GREAT, but I liked the Italian one better, cause that's my ancestry. Thanx for that, jd45

jd45

Anybody know if they saw combat? jd45

jd45

Since you're giving up 4" of sight radius right off the bat, (that's an American slang baseball expression, BTW), as opposed to a regular carbine-length barrel, (20"), on that trapper, I think you'd gain it back by going to a Williams Fool-Proof receiver sight mounted at the rear. The incr...

Being talked up as an effective deer-size game getting cartridge before it's sent to the field isn't the same as proving itself once it does get to the field. I'm curious to know what its track record is when used for this purpose. Has it achieved clean, relatively quick kills, such as the larger ca...

Welcome to the forum, JkMa. If I were you, I'd snap that Miroku up in a heartbeat! This offering has two aspects I'd like to have, namely a pistol-grip stock, (it's very rare on '92s) AND it's a take-down model. BTW, the Mirokus are EXCELLENT quality. I used to have a Browning B-92 in .44, which I h...

John, I'm pretty sure it was another guy from north of the border. He dropped off several years ago & we haven't heard from him since, altho people had been asking why we hadn't heard from him. I'm gonna go check the members list & see if he might be still listed. I remember you, tho. jd45

jd45

Let me offer a possible alternative fix to this problem, which will eliminate the dangers of high pressure, the need to shorten cases & retain crimping in the desired crimp groove. There is a little thing I refer to as a "backstop" which is integral with the cartridge carrier or lifter...

jd45

Forgot to mention,.....I DID also get his safety-replacement button. jd45

jd45

Was Stokes's name used for a character in the series? His name doesn't ring a bell in that regard, but God bless him anyway. jd45

jd45

I bought Steve's DVD a while back & modified my LSI PUMA in .45 Colt. Really great teaching tool. She runs slick as snot now. I got the metal mag follower, too. jd45

jd45

They fire from a closed-bolt position. Go to YouTube, type AK-47 in the search box & select Hickock 45's vid on it. You'll see him rack the bolt rearward, let go of the handle & it'll slam forward to strip a cart from the mag, then fire. To me that's a tell-tale sign it fires from a closed b...

jd45

That is one sweet rifle! The reason your original chamber was so sloppy is the mfg'rs are chronically boring them to the high side of the spec, which I understand is .492". The diameter of the .45 case at the web area is .476". Some say it's for faster feeding thru a rifle design never int...

jd45

Hello to all! Been away a while but glad to be back. Hope all's well with you. Does anyone have any info as to just what make & caliber weapon he used when he murdered James Butler Hickock on August 2nd, 1876 in Deadwood, S. D. ? Inquiring minds want to know. Thanx, jd45

jd45

If the sight setup is accurate, I say CONGRATS!!! American ingenuity @ its best! jd45

jd45

What a beeeutiful rifle Mike! You can surely be proud. BTW, what does LW stand for. I know the caliber is a black-powder....40 sittin atop 82grs of coal. Just curious, jd45

jd45

I wonder if the scope getitdone1 mentioned has a 30MM tube rather than a 1" to allow for more windage & elevation adjustment, causing them to demand so much more for it. Just curious, jd45

jd45

Question Tycer, aren't those folks supposed to shun modern machinery of any kind? In which case he shoulda been using a flintlock, right? What would ol' Davy Crockett say! Of course if he hadn't yet taken his final vows I guess he's allowed a little leeway. Anyway, my Uncle & Aunt used to own a ...

jd45

Bob Winchester,..........NOT!!! Be safe, & follow these guys knwoledgable, (sic?) recommendations. Just my $.02, jd45

jd45

AJMD425, Boortz & Nugent 2012 tongue in cheek?!?! I AM FLABERGASTED!!!! And here I thought you were serious! I feel betrayed! However, let me encourage you to reconsider & get serious
about this ticket. You MUST have some input regarding their qualifications, don't you? jd45

jd45

Congrats, Kirk! Enjoy it! jd45. Hope to snag one myself someday! jd45

jd45

Great pics, ajmd429! jd45

jd45

Xcuse for sayin so, but seems a moot point, Aussies bein so far away an all, don't ya think? Don't get me wrong now.... I LOVE Aussies!!! jd45

jd45

Here's hopin you have a speedy & relatively pain-free recovery! jd45

jd45

86er, since you mentioned pheasants I have a question. What do you do to counteract their dryness when you're preparing them to cook? Thanx for your culinary expertise, jd45

jd45

Bob, you might try talking to Mike Daly at Hodgdon. I'm sure he can give you the straight skinney on the 4227s. I used to know their whole number, now all I can remember is their area code, (913) but you can get it, or their email address from their website. jd45

jd45

RIGHT ON!!!!! jd45

jd45

AJMD429, every so often, Ruger has a run of these revolvers for an outfit called ACUSPORT. I had one myself a few years ago, but had to sell it unfortunately. It had a .45acp cylinder as well as a .45 Colt cylinder. Shot great AFTER I sent both to the Cylindersmith.com to ream out the chamber throat...

jd45

I used to favor straight-grip, but I've since found the pistol-grip is more comfortable for my body. jd45

jd45

Don & Mike, I believe you guys are RIGHT on the money. I'm sure the people who REALLY know their Winchesters are using their 11-foot poles, cause they wouldn't touch it with a 10-foot pole! (grin). But anyone with at least one working brain cell & enough money to spend on this is gonna have ...

jd45

Speer's Technical Services phone number is 1-866-286-7435. jd45. BTW, Tycer's suggestion is a very good one if you're handy that way. I couldn't so I sent my '51 Marlin 336A in .35 Rem. to Regan Nonneman in Grant City, MO. I couldn't chamber my .359-.360 dia. cast handloads, not having any throat in...

jd45

BTW, it looks like the ejector rod housing goes all the way out to the end of the 5-1/2" barrel on these revolvers, making them appear as if they have 4-3/4" barrels. jd45

jd45

Mr. Wright, I believe you may have mis-read the price for these revolvers. I just went to the sight to get a look at them & I saw a price of $1850.00. jd45

jd45

No Hobie, I was not aware of that! Sixgun, thanx for showing us your little prize. It's great! And yours, too Grizz. jd45

jd45

Right on kim! Synthetic oil is THE way to lube a 1911. jd45

jd45

She just could make sports history as the first woman pro hockey player..............but on second thought it'd destroy her beauty to not have any front teeth! (grin) jd45

jd45

Hobie, how can you POSSIBLY be old enough to know about the TV series "Yancey Derringer" in which Jock Mahoney carried one of these as a belly gun. His sidekick had the artillery as you may also know......X Brands as Pahoo Katewa, "Wolf who stands in water" a pawnee who carried a...

jd45

Thanx JB.......I'll keep that in mind when I load for my Range Officer's model Springer. jd45

jd45

Kirk, your daughter was magnificent! She's obviously developed some very powerful legs along the way, as you can tell she's in ABSOLUTE control of those blades. What a treat......thanx. jd45

jd45

So I guess the same would be true of the GD?, I mean as far as the cavity filling up & turning it into a ball round, right, or not? Does Speer even make a GD bullet for the auto? Just curious, jd45

jd45

Steve, that's good news about your 1911. I'm looking at the Range Officer model. BTW, do you think there's ANY chance of latching onto a batch of those old Speer ashtrays, maybe at a gun show or something? I'd sure like to try em, if possible. Or are the new Gold Dots just as good or maybe even bett...

jd45

Catshooter, what do you think of the concept of the .45 Super cart on a 1911 platform? I notice Pace didn't mention it in his article, despite the fact he favors hot loads. What're your thoughts? Thanx, jd45

jd45

A LOT of .44MAG rifles have been coming thru with over-large groove diameters. MtBaldy Bullets will make oversize bullets for you to give better accuracy, after you slug your bore to determine just what diameter bullet you require. Call Frank & discuss it with him. jd45

jd45

Allright sixgun, so just what's the formula? For the beeswax/alox combo I mean. And does the alox you mentioned refer to Lee's Liquid Alox? If not, what the hell are you referring to? Inquiring minds want to know! jd45

jd45

That WAS funny! But, seriously now, just what do you think those homaside bombers who blow themselves and as many others as they can up are expecting to get as a reward for it, huh? The Arabic male, generally speaking, is obsessed with sex, & the guys who get them to do this know just what butto...

jd45

I believe God metes out a special dispensation to allow dogs, as well as others of His creation into His presence. God loves animals, just like He loves human beings. He created us ALL out of His love, didn't He? You bet your *** He did!!! jd45
