Is that the same alloy that Freedom Arms uses?

I lived in Trinidad CO, just a quick trip from Whittington. We would go down once in awhile and shoot. If you are in the area during the week and have time go up to the college and take a tour of the gunsmith program. Local kid John McGlothlin (Spelling?) graduated from the gunsmith school in or ab...

Very nice rig!

Sign up on Rob's email list. He has some really nice stuff discounted 20% in his "Gear to Go" area. I have picked up half a dozen holsters there over the years. Here's one.

Been following your posts re Sage from the beginning. This post (rodeo pheasant event) reminded me of one (of many) good times we had with Willow over the years. Rescued her when she was 10 months old. Wild as a march hare. Daughter wouldn't stay home alone with her (she would relentlessly moon walk...

Bought this "trade in" (g22 gen 3, 40 S&W) several yrs ago. looked new. Shown here with Advantage Arms 22 conversion (40 S&W top unit and mag in middle) and my vintage K22. The older I get, the more I shoot 22s. Also have KKM 9mm/40 conversion bbl and 9mm glock mags (100% reliable ...

Here's one that has been modified ala Jim's suggestion: . https://photos.imageevent.com/paul105/hobby/IMG_0492.JPG . Bought that war surplus 1911 Rem Rand back in the mid 60s. It was in a pawn shop. When I asked to see it the owner pulled it out of the display case, inserted a magazine, jacked the s...

I bought a Tactical Innovations (Idaho) a 16.5" 1-9 twist Ruger 10/22 bbl. The 60 grainers shown in Jim's post averaged 880 fps at 5 long steps from the muzzle and 60 deg F for 5 shots in that barrel. My notes indicate normal function and half inch group at 25 yds (with scope). Still have sever...

Jim,

What, if any, bullet "jump" did you experience with lubed bullets?

Wonder how powder coating would work?

Paul105

Scott, that double gun is really cool!

Paul105

What could possibly go wrong?

Paul105

Sorry, a couple of hours east.

Any of you guys take the plunge for a FA .500 Wyoming Express? I thought that would be cool but a .44 mag kicks plenty for me :D Not a Wyoming Express but the ballistic twin (500 JRH). This is an FA83 converted to 500JRH by Jack Huntington. . https://photos.imageevent.com/paul105/hobby/500%20JRH%20...

I'm sure it must have been addressed but I haven't seen it -- WHY WAS THERE LIVE AMMO ON SET and who brought it there?

Scott, what are you going to use as a host? What is your intended use. Just curious as to what others use theirs for. Thanks, Paul Paul, I own a number of suppressors. This particular one will be used on a little bolt action.300 Blackout. I reckon I’ll shoot whatever from hogs to deer to varmints w...

I have a FA757 (orig designation for 475 LB) that I bought used. Don't know how many round orig owner shot, but I put a little over 15,000 rnds thru it and towards the end started chasing point of impact and rear sight looked like picture above. Turns out the barrel was unscrewing under recoil. Barr...

Speaking of Sanderson brought back a memory. 35 plus years ago, my son and I were sitting on the side of an arroyo outside of Sanderson TX. We were mule deer hunting with a group of other hunters. Others were set up at various locations. We spotted a single javalina wandering down the arroyo. My son...

First off let me say that I'm real lazy and anything that reduces effort is a plus for me. I have two RCBS Rock Chuckers (one was bought as a backup). The original is set up for use with the Loc n Load bushings and I really like them. Also, they can save some time if you're only loading a limited nu...

Back when America was free and the FBI didn't harass people for speaking their minds, we kids carried our .22 rifles around openly and hunted with them, had them on our bicycles and no one freaked out about it. We didn't shoot each other or anyone else. The guy at the hardware store sold us .22 she...

I shot this target sandbagged at 25 yds with a 4 1/4" S&W M69 .44 Mag. Two shots per load to limit recoil fatigue and reduce target clutter. Point of aim was the same for all groups (center target diamond). I'm sure different guns, calibers, loads would show different results. . https://pho...

I've ordered a fair amount over time and always received products. What Jim T said above -- It takes a while so be patient.

I've had a 6" "field grade" M83 since the late 80s or very early 90s (can't remember but it only cost $900). It is one of the most accurate revolvers I've had (along with a M97 .44 special). . https://photos.imageevent.com/paul105/hobby/large/FA83%20454.JPG . FA makes great stuff but,...

I just calculated a 440gr 50 caliber at 850 fps - 26.7 TKO. I no longer have any use for this gun (and can no longer handle heaver load recoil) but like it so much I just can't part with it. It's a Freedom Arms M83 converted by Jack Huntington to 500 JRH. Bought it used 10 yrs ago when I was going t...

I don’t want to appear to be complaining. I’ve owned this machine for more than half of my life. It’s been a great help to me and if I had to, I’d buy another one just like it! Never entered my mind. Only wanted to add that in my experience, high useage mechanical things can and do break. I've even...

I broke the "crank" on a Dillon 550 that I bought back in the early 80s. Probably had 80,000 plus rnds. Also, broke the same part on a Dillon Square Deal B with considerably less rnds thru it. Have two of each, so no loading down time. Stuff happens. Dillon's warranty has been unbeatable o...

Been there done that!

Browned some filets and stuck the frying pan in the oven to finish cooking. Grabbed the handle of the frying pan (with bare hand and oven mitt on other) when removing from hot oven.

My all day, every day carry gun for the better part of a decade. Carried as backup while bow hunting elk until a couple of yrs ago until limited mobility curtailed that activity. Light weight, snappy recoil, fiber optic front and v notch rear not conducive to target accuracy. If shot a lot with magn...

What powder charge in the 50 AE?

Thanks,

I bought a .500 Lee 2 cavity round ball mold for the same reason. Haven't got around to casting any yet. Was going to use some liquid alox or powder coat for lube. Really interested to see your results. Really like the gun, but more than I can handle anymore. https://photos.imageevent.com/paul105/ho...

Johnson liquid wax was the ingredient in the original BLL formula that was discontinued. A substitute has been identified and the formula updated. It is discussed here by the originator: https://artfulbullet.com/index.php?threads/bll-bens-liquid-lube.6306/ . Probably a lot larger quantity than most ...

Thoroughly enjoyed this thread. Love the puppy pictures. It's been a long time since we've had puppies around - 30 plus years. Always had dogs around but the last 3 generations have all been rescues.

ywaltzucanrknrl Yes, it's the range you describe. The suppressor is a Rugged Obsidian .45 pistol suppressor - two configurations, so that you can have a shorter and lighter suppressor in seconds (the longer version is pictured above). It is rated for .44 mag but fixed barrel use requires a fixed bar...
