I guess it has to be a very dusty bare dirt climate to see bullet report. Even with a spotter it would be a challenge. I guess with some figuring keep stepping back to track trajectory.

Pat C

I followed a grey 1893 full octagon takedown the other day. Very clean . Thought I'll snag this ,prepared to bid up to $750
It ended up at nearly $1500

Pat C

Jim , how do know where hits are at that distance. Video camera near by target? Only handgun Ive ever owned I would attempt it would have been my 35 Remington 14" TC contender with 7 x scope.

Pat C

Years ago close to 30 I had Brownells forcing cone revolver kit. I did quite a few for myself and others. Then one day like a dummy I sold it on ebay. Now its so expensive. You can really improve a revolver by truing them up . I need to do my Police Positive now so I guess Ill just order it from PTG...

Pat C

I bet it won't stay that way for long?

Pat C

That is a nice example , beautiful!

Pat,
That’s really sharp! Who makes it?

Stainless Pietta new model sheriff 1858 with Howell 45 LC stainless conversion cylinder.

Pat C

This is one I want.

JB Bore paste is a bore polish , it has super fine abrasive.
You can clean a bore squeaky clean and run a patch 25 strokes through and patch will be black. Ultra polishes rifling .
Bench rest shooters use it all the time.

These new Marlin barrels are cold hammer forged over mandrel.

Pat C

JB Bore paste is hard to beat for thorough clean polish .

Pat C

Saw this on listed , big section of sapwood. Not sure if I like that. If I ordered one it may go back if it had this. So it will be by visual only if I get one.

Pat C

Here is info for original 1894 SRC .

IF old style dovetail is used the #44 ladder sight or three leaf express is all you can use.

If late style dovetail is used #22H or G rifle sight can be used

Pat C

Well he will be in deep dodo if he precedes located in USA. Here is an original prewar 14" BATF lettered SRC .Notice its late carbine with 22H Rifle rear sight located same distance as pre 64 carbines. What you will notice is short forend either the 7 3/8" or 8 3/8" Front sight is par...

Pat C

My guess he has applied for SBR and has a tax stamp and is ready to build. Don't build it first or you will be committing felony.

Pat C

That's second one Ive seen with fancy walnut

Pat C

We had anouther thread , they are spin off of the 9422 except billet aluminum receiver. And made in Turkey. Announced at shot show in 2023 IIRC . But its taken them nearly two years to produce. Price is good for import and so far excellent reviews. Receiver is hard coat anodized chromoly barrel Turk...

Pat C

A number of people have purchased them recently from Cabelas at $389 plus this month 10% back rebate from Winchester. Several have had beautiful Turkish walnut.

Pat C

Glock is .250" x 74 degree.

Pat C

Pretty much Marble uses only 3/8 x 60 degree dovetail. On barrel sights. You can get a 60 degree dovetail file has two safe edges and one cut edge. Easy to narrow sights. Take your time. Anybody owns a gun needs a dovetail file. Sights are generally have small lead on entry side so that hand start i...

Few pictures of issue

Pat C

Well Rustyjack on rimfire central figured out my problem or at least part of it. Apparently some wise guy years back drilled or dremmeled some out of the bottom of my carrier. Possibly thinking of fitting longer 22 WMR MAG . I bought the rifle several years ago on gunbroker and got rooked. I now nee...

Pat C

Anybody have an Winchester 1890 in 22 WRF ?
Mine is misbehaving and need some comparison measurments.

Pat C

I almost bid on that ASM Navy Colt with custom front sight. It went reasonable. Trying to work a deal on something else though.

Pat C

Anouther from today sitting position at 25 yards

Pat C

1st year production 1939 with color cased receiver.

Pat C

Yes Friday was a nice day , only had time for 10 shot group but was enjoyable anyway.

Pat C

From the WRA 1914 catalog.

Pat C

Interestingly some eastern states have minimum muzzle energy for pistol caliber rounds 44 WCF just barely squeeze by in most cases. Certainly wouldn't be my choice even close range. 30 WCF was always considered minimum for hunting deer in my part of the country. I used to take 38WCF 1892 turkey hunt...

Pat C

You forgot 44 WCF

Pat C

Nice, I had Brownells forcing cone kit years ago it did a beautiful job . I did a number of Colts and repro Colts. Ended up selling it and now I wish I had it back . I need to cut my Police Positive right now.

Pat C

Howdy Jim, This single action belonged to John Taffin .Do you remember seeing it? Trying to determine the make.
Not Colt unless heavily modified . Thinking Spanish or some other repro.

Pat C

The stock requires a special spanner socket which I made from 11mm socket was perfect.

Pat C

After changing the rear angle at front of stock it now fits tight against frame .So no stress on the mortise area.

One of these days Im going to spring for one of Jim Kiblers mountain rifle kits. Probably some of the best traditional kits made today.

Big $$$ ?

They grow on you

Pat C

On the cheap Im wondering about old H&R 949

Pat C

The bore is shiney but has a few pitted areas. I believe it will be a fine shooter. I always examine fired cases and the five shot had a deep dent/ drag mark at 4 o'clock.Got a good look and right side extractor cut at chamber was dented up into chamber mouth. Used the chamber swage and stoned the c...

Pat C

I absolutely love finding these on classics in need of some TLC and bringing them back. This is a fun shooter , Ill pick up more SV ammo see what it will do .

Pat C

Still anouther crack on top I found but is super tight . Will need a needle injection bottle.

Pat C

There was a .014 gap at top half of stock , those uneven pressure probably caused the breaks/crackd. Set up and adjusted the angle took a skim cut now it fits flush with back of frame.

Nice article 2002 Shoot Mag

Pat C

Yes that's a different animal all together. There are two 44 WCF AWA on Colt Forum. $768 per each. With holsters.

Pat C

Good price , AWA Purchased ASM in Italy which made at time closest copy of Colt SAA. the AWA parts were sent to USA fir final work and genuine bone charcoal color case . Colt sued them for name PEACEKEEPER and ultimately they went out of buisness.
