The short Rugers are pretty too, just not "Colt" nice.

Six, now that you're done with the lumber vacation you went on are you gonna get back on the mould project?

Cat

Catshooter

Gunny,

Put the draw liner in tonight - fits like you just might know what you're doing! Thanks again man.

Sorry Six, but four and three quarters is the answer.

Cat

Catshooter

The 4 3/4" SAA, to my eye is one of the most beautiful guns . . . period.

Cat

Catshooter

Gunny,

Drawer liner came today. Man, you know how to woodwork and pack the product! Beautiful work and not a scratch on it. What a pleasure doing business with someone who is ethical and a craftsman to boot. Thank you very much.

Cat

Catshooter

Six,

I bet if you look closely at that .22 chamber somebody has Dremeled it. "Make it feed better." is my guess.

Liner, that's all I got to say.

Cat

Catshooter

Six,

That was you farting? Woke me up, wondered what it was. Don't worry, I rolled over and went back to sleep.

I'd re-line the barrel too, if you can fix the action that is.

Cat

Catshooter

That's too bad about the '73 Six. Hope it was cheap. Working on a fully finished gun is tough. What are you doing about the bore?

Cat

Catshooter

Universal is a great powder, but not in a big case like the 38-55. It is quite position sensitive. Unique is not.

Cat

Catshooter

Doc is right. One of the largest mistakes we ever made in this country was to let the government into education. It is currently the largest scam working in America. The students can't read, write or do arithmetic for starters. They know the Constitution is some out-moded piece of parchment that has...

Catshooter

Well Six, that's a helluva a stump. If you're gonna drag 'em have you got any kind of stone boat? You know, like and old car hood or a good sized piece of sheet metal? That might make life a bit easier for the Mighty Kubota. And Mighty it is too! It's a pity you don't live here. I'm not suggesting y...

Catshooter

Good lookin bullet Gunny, that size and weight good for you? I know what you mean about the back hurting while casting. For me, I realized that I was holding the mould up just an inch or two when filling the cavities, and that is what was hurting. For crying out loud. I put a short piece of 2x6 unde...

Catshooter

Six,

That's a great pic, I like it. You should have your BAR in your hand.

Gunny,

Sounds great. I'll keep you posted, thanks.

Cat

Catshooter

Sometimes if you don't toot your own horn, nobody else even takes it out of the case!

Cat

Catshooter

Very cool. And in a great caliber, too.

Cat

Catshooter

Nice, very nice Six. Auctions like that don't happen every day!

Cat

Catshooter

Sweet! My anticipations are all a-tingle!

Cat

Catshooter

Six,

That beautiful piece of craftsmanship will be replacing a WalMart silverware holder. Quite the upgrade!

Gunny,

I threw that in just 'cause. In case you don't know that's a practice bomblet from WW II.

Did the mould ship ok? No issues?

Cat

Catshooter

Gunny,

That looks awesome man, I like it!

Cat

Catshooter

The oringstore. Huh. Thanks Earl, that looks to be a handy site.

Cat

Catshooter

One thing about firing a weapon in the house, especially short ones is their loud. My 10.5 AR pistol wears a suppressor that makes it still about three inches shorter than a 16" AR.

I'm a really big fan of silencers.

Cat

Catshooter

I'll take the lumber Gunny is prepping up for me . . .

Cat

Catshooter

Hey Gunny, that looks great! Your mould & handles went out in yesterdays mail, so thanks! Were you able to find maple?

Cat

Catshooter

A good chiropractor is a real joy.

Cat

Catshooter

That looks like a Smith & Wesson M&P, maybe a .45? There's some old beat up Rossi rifle in the way, hard to see it. But they didn't make those in '98 . . . Or, wait, you mean the rifle? Looks like a '76 Winchester and a beaut at that. '98 huh? That's purty. Many years ago I blued one (I know...

Catshooter

Doc musta been a bad monkey. I'd hate to get my nuts roasted. Did he scratch a gen 1 Colt SAA or something? I'd rather eat bacon.

Cat

Catshooter

Last two posts are good advice Six. You, like me and some of the rest of us ain't 25 anymore.

Cat

Catshooter

Yea, I wondered about the insurance company. Mine wouldn't pay for tree removal unless it was on the house. I'd check anyway as who knows? The ways of women and insurance company are not within the ken of man. At least not this one. Sorry I can't be there to help you man, but it's one helluva long w...

Catshooter

Wow Six, I'm sorry to hear/see that. Boy oh boy though, you were pretty lucky all in all. Yep, I'd take lots 'o pics and call my home owners. Glad your gun room survived (priorities) and good luck! Gunny, Yes please, I'd like to trade for a silverware drawer liner. I'll PM you my phone number and we...

Catshooter

Gunny,

Here's what I have to offer.

41. Mag mould.jpg

Hope this is what you were looking for. I've never owned 41 caliber anything so I haven't cast with it. And yet I have the mould? I know, it's a disease I tell ya. I blame Six.

Cat

Catshooter

Looks like a good place to shoot Six. I like the silencer. Instead of buying myself a nice rifle after my wife left I bought a handful of suppressors. Cost about the same as your BAR but I had to wait 316 days for ATF approval. They're very nice. I love shooting without ear protection. I can shoot p...

Catshooter

I figgered that maybe at your advanced age Six, nothing would pop up!

Twenty four deep pockets and he left you with the BAR!?!

Cat

Catshooter

Thanks for letting me slide up closer to the fire gentlemen, it's getting toward cold here and my bones ain't quite as young as they used to be. Sorry for the pause, had to go turn the bacon! Six, I don't know that it's a good idea these days to post such a pic. I mean with democrats runnin' around ...

Catshooter

Jay,

He is a true master. He even had it professionally monogrammed!

Cat

Catshooter

Jay, huh? Nice beard, but he don't look like someone you'd want to cross, doncha think? Tuff lookin' family, too.

Cat

Catshooter

I agree doc, fully.

I listened to President Trumps announcement about this. Don't worry Wm, he gave credit where credit was due, very much so. He really likes and admires our Special Forces.

Cat

Catshooter

Six, I sent you a PM about moulds. Bernie, like all communists is nuts. They have to be nuts, it's a prerequisite to getting into the club. I listened to our fine President talk about the killing of Ali-barba-pea brain. Impressive. I have to admit that when I cast my vote for him 1) I thought it was...

Catshooter

Six,

How on EARTH did that cat make it all the way up on that chair?

Cat

Catshooter

Where I live you'll see rifles/shotguns in cars/trucks parked on Main street. In the summer (if it ain't raining) the windows will often be down. I have a friend with a Suburban that he has modified his console to hold three long guns right to hand and he always has three of 'em in there too. At lea...

Catshooter

I have one just like yours Jim and really enjoy it. I shortened (16 inches) and threaded the barrel for my 9mm suppressor. Works very well and quietly.

Cat

Catshooter

Very true Jim, very true. My father went to war (WW II) at sixteen. He was in Dutch Harbor when the Japanese attacked, he shot down a Zero with a Quad .50. He then joined the Merchant Marines at 17 (he forged his birth certificate) and fought the whole rest of the war in both theaters. Shot down a G...

I was very excited to buy Paco's CD book. But I couldn't make it work on three different computers and still can't today. Tried to get help or a new book but never got a response.

I hope you have better luck than I did.

Cat

Catshooter

The original finish was Linseed oil. If I recall correctly the only other option in those days was sperm whale oil and that's a bit tough to get these days. I wouldn't stain, they didn't.

Cat

Catshooter

Yah, I agree with Nath.

No way were you taking notes at a motorcycle gang party. No way.

Cat

Catshooter

A responsible person is armed. Or they are relegating their life and limb to the cops, "it's safe here" or God. That's the definition of 'irresponsible'.

Play by stupid rules, win stupid prizes.

Cat

Catshooter

Shooting a lead bullet that is oversized for the bore, yet still chambers adds only a few hundred pounds of pressure. That's usually far less than the shot-to-shot variation with any ammo. Richard Lee talks about this in his reloading manual, it's simple mechanical engineering. But you do have to ch...

Catshooter

Using your oven's cleaning cycle can indeed clean your cast iron. But it can (not will, just can) also warp or crack it. Getting over seven to eight hundred degrees is something that iron/steel really start to notice structurally. Some ovens go to 900+. I use a lye bath to clean mine. I love my cast...

That bullet and Red Dot are a combination made in heaven.

Not tried it in the .308, but five grains in the .30-30 is mid-1200s and shoots very well. No recoil of course and very quiet.

Cat

They are great.

Them moulds ain't rusting away are they? Now I'm scared . . .

Cat

Springfield 03A3, Glock 27. The pistol is set up for 9mm, 40 & 45 GAP. Of course I cast & reload for both and that increases their versatility by quite a bit. Both are dead reliable. The 03 eats cast loads for lunch. A Lyman 3118 over 6.5 grains of Red Dot (about 1200 fps, 120 grains) is qui...

That's great Six. Dogs are great critters aren't they? I love 'em. I'll be 66 this year (I hope) and lost my last dog in November. Cross between a Jack Russel & a Chihuahua, she was a fireball & a very happy girl. I'm pretty sure dogs are proof that God loves us. Well, that, and bacon. Cat
