I really love the XTPs. Use them in my muzzle loader with sabots and get excellent results. Have recovered many bullets from white-tails and they look just like the ones in the pictures posted above. Oh yeah, my ML has a Green Mountain bullet barrel. I keep some loaded in 44-40s for use in the 92 an...

I thought the oil reservoir was a freeze plug for an engine block. Guess I have to build one now.

I'll bet you could get a guvment grant to do a study on this.

The Navy grip frame ended up on the SAA but I have to wrap my pinky under the grip on it while the Army grip frame is about 3/8" longer and has room for my pinky. I find that the little finger curled under the grip keeps in from rolling up in recoil and necessitating a shift in grip between sho...

The carb cleaner like Joe said. After a lot of use, bullet lube builds up in the seating and crimp dies. Carb cleaner works for this too. Then use your air hose to blow out the dies. I think that Lee factory crimp die is the best thing since sliced bread. It should probably be lubed inside with some...

I had a 71 Browning that was re-barreled to 50-110 EX with an original Winchester barrel. The twist was very slow and even with light bullets would never give me the kind of groups that I wanted so I traded it off.

M. M. Wright

I'll just stick with my 44-40s. '73 Uberti and Colt SAA. Would like to take my Baretta 12 sxs. Joe, You might want to rethink Arizona in 1880/81. Chiracauas on the loose and Tom Horn chasing them. I guess land would have been cheap though. Can I take a bunch of penicillin with me? Saved my life from...

M. M. Wright

good stuff Kirk

I got an Italian 76 in a trade a few months ago but haven't shot it yet. It's a 40-60.

Actually it was Eli Whitney who revolutionized mass production. The Walker Colts were manufactured in his plant under contract to Colt and Colt got the tooling and copied the production techniques he learned from Whitney. Created interchangeable fits.

M. M. Wright

Ysabel, I buy mine from Powder Inc., 25# at a time and he will let you mix it so I get mostly Goex and maybe 5# of Swiss for the more accurate loads. Most of my black goes downrange at cowboy targets so don't need extreme accuracy. The long range rifle side matches need to be as good as you can make...

M. M. Wright

Looks great Ysabel. How do pick colors that compliment each other? If I picked them they would clash like green and purple, a combination I usually end up with when I grab sweats off the shelf. My wife, Esperanza, has been painting the interior of our house since her job was phased out the first of ...

I made my action wrench from 1" square steel. Just mild stuff and made the sandwich affair described above but left one piece long by about 6" s. I put a piece of pipe on this extension and always get them loose although I may have to use a little heat. I have an extra barrel vise that I w...

What Sixgun said.
A good friend of mine, he let me take a 1st gen home from a show and mail him a check for it, bought a new, in box SAA, .45, 7 1/2" bbl., 1881, for $32,000. It was a very good deal and not a military gun.

Does this guy just want to shoot it or is he making an investment?

The goat I have eaten was handled and cooked just like venison and tasted a lot like deer, but then the goats were fat on acorns. Watched a couple of Cherokees butcher two goats one time, (don't read this if you're squeamish). They baling wired the hind legs to a single tree and pulled the live goat...

M. M. Wright

Looks like a stock GI to me although it is possibly an arsenal rebuild. Would explain the mixed finishes. The FJA stamp above the trigger is Col. Frank J. Atwood who inspected at both Ithica and Remington Rand near the end of WWII. These old military 1911A1s are desirable property, sought by militar...

M. M. Wright

Give us the serial no. with XX for the last two digits and I will give you the year of manufacture. You can get a Colt letter on it that will tell you when the government bought it and probably when they cut the bbl. (if Colt did it). The price has been greatly reduced by the refinishing but it is s...

M. M. Wright

Have a great day Ysabel!

M. M. Wright

Thanks Ole,
Works just fine for me, course I'm runnin' chrome too.
Bet some of those 115 grain 32-20 bullets I've got tons of run through a .309 sizer would work great. Gotta try it.

M. M. Wright

My box has Vista,(gag, puke) and I run the Avast on it. Seems to work great.

M. M. Wright

Cool video and that grin tells me that it was very satisfying.

BTW, my Green Mountain 50 cal bullet bbl shoots real tight groups. Bet yours does too.

M. M. Wright

SWEET!!

M. M. Wright

Nice rifle and welcome,
My 94 saddle ring carbine from 1916 has the same Pacific sight that was on it when I got it in 1958. I know it's valuable but shoot it.

M. M. Wright

Doc, I take 2000 mg of Niaspan daily and the 3 month prescription costs me and my insurnce about $700. My wife's job ran out the first of the year and we are now without her coverage which was buying my meds. This might be a way for me to be able to continue the niacin and pay for it. Thanks. Will a...

Caliber? Barrel length? Finish? Condition? Matching numbers? Inquiring minds want to know.

M. M. Wright

Bought a Charles Daly, (Philippines) a couple years ago. 4" gun with skeleton trigger, hammer, Swenson type ambi-safeties, Wilson like extended memory grip safety, lowered and dimpled port and beveled mag well. Has just plain copies of the Novak sight and the front is dovetailed in. Wooden grip...

M. M. Wright

Pitchy, You need to drop your powder into those 45-70 cases through a drop tube. You'll be amazed at the difference in accuracy and clean burn. You still want about 1/8" compression and I like to use a nitro card over the powder. Made my drop tube from an old aluminum arrow with a funnel duck t...

M. M. Wright

Did you check to see if the reservoir has enough hydraulic oil?

M. M. Wright

I like a much heavier fly rod, (7 or 8) and a black hula popper. The Fred Arbogast lures are no longer made but I find a few NOS online. Usually use a smaller popper about 2' in front of the big one. Years ago I liked the Webers with rubber legs but haven't seen them for a long time. Boy is a 5 or 6...

M. M. Wright

Very nice truck salvo. I truly know your feelings as I have a '49 five window that I've had since '61. Boy, you really went all out on that engine with aluminum heads and those rockers. I just went sb400 so I have LOTS of torque through a TH400. I did go IFS and the rear end is from a '95 Caprice co...

M. M. Wright

Pitchy, Great cabin guy. What are the dimensions? Looks like about 8' x 14'. And you have your own saw mill. :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: Just green with envy. May I assume the cabin is built with your own lumber? I have 110 acres that has at least 80 in timber and I'd love to be able to mill my ow...

M. M. Wright

Nice!
I too have a Sharps (Italian Replica) that I don't shoot much. Been thinking about a Malcom scope for it. Maybe then it would get shot.

M. M. Wright

Love those morel mushrooms.

I've always heard that a good friend may loan you his favorite rifle and even tell you his favorite spot to hunt. Heck, he may even overlook a dalliance with his wife but, don't ask him where is morel patch is.

M. M. Wright

Thanks, I needed that this morning.

M. M. Wright

I know, function is beauty but to me the Henry is ugly. I'm just accustomed to looking at Winchesters I guess. 92s are beautiful.

M. M. Wright

Nice pistol. Are those the original grips? Way too good looking for factory.

M. M. Wright

Mike,
I'm adding you to my prayer list.

If you're gonna work on the single action revolver you need Jerry Kuhnhausen's book. The Colt Single Action Revolvers, a shop manual, volumes 1&2. Covers all the clones too and a must have even if you aren't the one doing the work.

I've been riding since 1955 when I turned 16. First bike was a '47 knucklehead which I bought for $350. Since then I've had at least one of just about everything but a lot of HDs. There are 3 currently in my possession. I've put a lot of miles on them and just like the idea of Harleys. An interestin...

We had tornadoes here in NE Oklahoma and that show kept being interrupted so I hadn't seen Carrie and Vince. Thanks for posting.

M. M. Wright

God is good and worthy to be praised!

J, The base pin bushing needs to rotate in the cylinder and on the base pin. Colt used 2 bearing surfaces to keep the cylinder turning with black powder cartridges. What you need is someone who is qualified to fit a new base pin and bushing. NKJ can do it, or PM me and I'll give you contact informat...

I've owned several S&W 41s. Models 58, 57 and the Ruger Blackhawk. Even had the Marlin levergun to go with them when I was playing sheriff's deputy. The biggest advantage the 41 has over the 44 or 45 is it shoots flatter. I always loaded 21 or 22 grains of H110/WW296 behind a 190 grain bullet. (...

M. M. Wright

jnyork,
I have plenty, it's new unprimed Starline and I will have to look to see how many I can part with. Let me know if you need more than 3lt has.

M. M. Wright

I load between 47 and 48 grains of 4895 behind a 165 grain Sierra. Be sure to back off and work up for your rifle. An old target load.

M. M. Wright

That is really cool!

Long live the 16.

Started using Breakfree back in late 70s early 80s when I was shooting IPSC. I had one old 1911 built by Frank Pachmyer that I must have put half a million rounds through. Always used Breakfree on it.

M. M. Wright

I load all my cowboy ammo on a Dillon. Started with a 450 and upgraded it to a 550 when the kit became available. Have broken a few things but a phone-call to Dillon got the new part on the way immediately. All they ever asked for was the broken part back so they could determine what happened. I wil...
