"a wood or nylon dowel the length of the barrel and turned from the barrel end with a drill and wool on the chamber end." I used to have a BLR, and I think that idea would work. You'd have to tap the end of the rod/dowel to accept the bore/chamber brush, but that's doable. I'd also sugges...

It will be shipped out to Chris on Wednesday, then on to all others in the list. It's really cool that a list of LeverGunners who have read this book was started, and I have "flagged" that page with a piece of paper to ensure all others will continue to do so. And thanks to dkmlever for st...

Who is next???

I enjoyed this book, and then passed it along to my twin -- who got wrapped up in a nasty divorce and then a move -- but I've finally got the book back here, and it's up for grabs.

Just reply here to claim it, and PM me your mailing address too!

But seriously folks... Nice buck! And a great story too! I really enjoyed the story of the hunt and especially the play-by-play pictures leading up to the downed buck. Been awhile (too long...) since I've done that myself. Deerwhacker, my wife's "little" brother could be your twin . I sho...

Nice work Joe. On the Oxpho Blue , I've had best results with the cream formula, as it is "thicker-er" and doesn't run off the rounded surfaces so common on gun parts. I've had the best results by degreasing and warming the parts (with a heat gun, or even under a light bulb), even though i...

I used to have a nickel-plated Bersa 380, and there was once a post on the BersaTalk forum about avoiding any ammonia-based solvent -- including Hoppe's No9 -- on nickel guns. I only used naptha (lighter fluid) on the 2 nickel top-breaks that I own.

Great pix Nath, as always!

Nickel plating... "Is there any way to remove it?" Sure, wipe it down with Hoppes regularly!!! I only use Naptha (lighter fluid) on my nickel-finish guns, as I've read Hoppes and other modern solvents can get under it and cause it to flake off. For what it's worth, I saw a "War Finis...

Joe, I think I remember reading where a Heat Gun was used to melt it, and also to heat up the barrel some too. Be careful though, as it's like a Blow Dryer On Steroids!!!
