Pretty bad storm ,you had a guardian angel watching out.
These weird storms are the norm now unfortunately.

Pat C

I'd like to find an old beater Blackhawk for custom sixgun.

Pat C

I really like the short barreled sixguns ,that would be take only in 38 WCF. to go with my 1892 short rifle.

Pat C

Never seen these imports before. Will have to check them out.

Pat C

Looks like a shooter

Pat C

A short barreled 38 WCF old model with bone charcoal frame,hammer gate. On the list of to do's.

Pat C

The 552 has standard chamber , it's the 550-1 that has floating chamber.

This rifle was Dad's , 1982 . Had never been all the way down until last year I did a major clean up .

Pat C

The dirtiest shooting rifle ever made is also very accurate.
Finally found what this old rifle likes Norma Tac 22
1 1/2" group standing offhand

Pat C

Sounds like someone tried to drive it straight out. They are radial dovetails. You pull tube part way out and use tube as a turning aid. To rotate out.

Round barrels are worst for wear to dovetail ,once damaged going oversize and or tig welding is about all you can do.

$99 or more of Hazerdous materials no fee until midnight

Pat C

Loaded up five more cartridges this morning same as last time.Pyrodex RS filled to within 1/8" or so of top .Just using hand tools ,case mouth expander I made and ball starter. Pushed the pulled 146 grain lead bullets down gently to the exposed band. Used my hand crimper. Again no burn rings on...

Pat C

I get bogus emails all the time that say , thanks for your purchase here is your PP invoice. With a link .

Pat C

I really like the black checkered original grips I think I may try to find me a shooter this year sometime.

Pat C

Some of the old Iver Johnson adds

Pat C

Answered my own question ,NO black powder cartridge does not leave burn rings around chambers. At least not Pyrodex.

Pat C

Found four slugs

Pat C

All rounds went through wood target backing and hit 1" thick rubber con Conveyor backing. I found one lying below. I'll look for others later.

Pat C

That was six o'clock hold at 15 ,shoots really high to sights.

Pat C

Pulled bullets and loaded 5 test rounds , filled case with Pyrodex RS to within 3/16 .Just enough for light compression. Had to make a crimp tool as I don't reload. Bored hole in R6 cable crimper. To .380 with .375 at edge. Worked perfect. Eyeballed the loads but as you see shot excellent 15 yards h...

Pat C

Yeah has that nice plum frame blue .People complained about it originally so much Ruger put a notice out .They would attempt to reblue but no guarantees it would be better. Blaming it on tge 4140 casting.Today people go nuts over the color.

Pat C

Yeah ,I like it a lot . One of these days stars will align and I'll own one.

Pat C

I believe those are Judd's sling swivels I have a set somewhere. 50's,60's maybe not 100% Screw holes added for side peep. Still a nice old as found deer rifle from the day.

Pat C

Beautiful animal, sorry to here this.

Pat C

That's right I saw earlier post here about it , the case hardened finish one was steel IIRC.

Pat C

Haven't seen any of those, what's the model called ?

Pat C

Part of the barrel forging .

Pat C

Group size measured center to center max spread any target.

Here was a 25 yard 10 shot group sitting with rifle resting on bag on top of sawhorse.With CCI HV ammo

Pat C

Don't even have a bench to see. Usually rimfires I only shoot from position. It's a shooter I can guarantee that. I may build one soon and report back.

Pat C

Every month we have this challenge on Hawk's BR Forum with economy rifles only chambered in 22 Rimfire calibers. Open sights or fixed power scope. Standing offhand to build shooting skill /stamina.

Pat C

Yeah both are both high condition and the semi deluxe very desirable . Good taste.

Pat C

Very clean classic 1894's ,wonderful!

Pat C

The burn ring of discoloration you see on all cartridge revolvers .Which is a result of carbon . I've never noticed it on any cap n ball revolvers after cleaning. Never fired black powder cartridges though and was wondering if it gave same effect as smokeless.

Pat C

When firing black powder cartridge revolvers ,does the cylinder still get the burn rings around chamber mouths?

Pat C

Your second model is about the best one I've seen inside. The third model is the ideal shooter. It will have cylinder locking notches like a Smith & Wesson. It was proofed for smokeless. Plus, the owl head will be oriented in a different direction than the 1st and second models. Bob 400px-Iver_...

Pat C

I'll probably load up some black powder rounds for mine soon. See what it will do.

Pat C

One of the biggest mistakes I've made trading,selling the three I had. Nickel 5 1/2 44-40, Blue cased 4 3/4 44-40 , Blue/ cased 5 1/2 45 I ordered from Custom Shop. I'll get anouther when time and money is right.

Pat C

I'll be lucky to see those fine sights ,man they are tiny.
I'll get small hole gage and get exact measurement and slug bore to see.I just did a quick check with dial calipers.

Pat C

Definatly a 2nd model and black powder rated.It has Q code under grips .Interestingly the trigger guard is one digit off.All other numbers match grip. Mistake I guess as you can tell it is original untouched . It does look like it went in and out of a holster and possible stored in one. Since some c...

Pat C

Looks like a dandy rifle to shoot! Anxious to see it.

Pat C

There is a lot of conflicting info online. I'm thinking this one is 2nd model right before smokeless rating. I'll pull grips tomorrow see.

Pat C

Thanks, I'm pretty tickled specially since it was $145

Pat C

It definatly appears to be a transitional model , based on what I've read it is indeed black powder only. Need to pull grips see if it has flat mainspring . The direction the Owl is facing is of the black piwder era guns. I have a box of smokeless I can pull bullets and dump powder replace it with b...

Pat C

Interesting, it appears untouched . Tight and smooth like a new gun. Couple scab areas on barrel I need to work on.
But finish is brilliant just flaked.

Pat C

I picked up a really nice 38 break top Iver Johnson owl head .
Trying to figure out model and if it's blackpowder only.
It may be unfired as bore and cylinder show no signs of being fired.
Charcoal blue is flaking and corrosion from being stored on holster maybe .it's like new.

Pat C

I built plastic models ,then melted the plastic with lighter and blue them up with fire crackers for simulated wrecks

Pat C

A leather thong around barrel I have seen before.

Pat C

That's a fairly good movie, got one of the last authentic PU sniper rifles imported back in 2013 . Once Russians invaded Crimea that was the end of Russian importation .

One I have was inspected at Tula Arsenal in 2013 and been in long term storage since WW2. Just about new condition.

Been posted before on Colt Forum but pretty cool photo
