    Is Accuracy Really this Difficult?

    o_O 65 actually. Believe me I've considered it, but whenever I get my hands on an accurate pistol .... no problems. There will come a day though. As for reloading, I never said I was getting keyholes. I've been loading for 40 years, and I know what I'm doing. I seldom use much of a crimp...

    Is Accuracy Really this Difficult?

    None that I know of, but you can tweak 'em a bit if you know how.

    Is Accuracy Really this Difficult?

    That's what I mean, it's the luck of the draw pretty much. Also means that there's nothing inherently wrong with these things that cannot be fixed. I don't believe in jinxes or curses. From my first post; "I know that a firearm is just a machine, and as such, it can be “fixed” like any other...

    Is Accuracy Really this Difficult?

    In that case, wanna trade pistols? Every pistol is going to be different. Maybe the Blackhawk I ended up with was just a fluke that I got a perfect piece. And the Uberti is a rare lemon. Either way, there has to be some way of making this .45 shoot better, rather than just write it off...

    Is Accuracy Really this Difficult?

    Lately I’ve been in contact with a few gunsmiths concerning doing some accurizing work on my Uberti .45. I’ve had a couple tell me to just sell it and buy a Ruger. Ha .... some kind of help. Initially I contacted Cimarron about the accuracy issue and was told that they don’t make “target...

    .44-40 Loads with .44 Special brass?

    I’m interested in knowing if anyone out there is using .44 special/mag brass for hand loading .44-40 ammo? I was told by some gun shop “expert” that it cannot/should not be done, but I would think that there shouldn’t be that much to it. As .44–40 ammo is stupid expensive, there has to be a...

    Astra Constable .22LR: Good, Bad, or Ugly?

    Be warned; these little mags ain't cheap, at $30-$35 each .... but I guess you don't have much choice, if you need 'em. I have an Interarms Constable .380 .... not a bad little pistol, but for the size and weight of it - it should be a 9mm.

    Could Anyone Recommend a Good 'Sand-Blaster'?

    While we're on the subject, I went into Tractor Supply recently, to check out the sand-blasting products, and they had plastic bags of media in two different grits .... 20/40 and 40/80. This stuff was black, but the labeling didn't say what it was. IIRC the brand name on the bags was...

    Could Anyone Recommend a Good 'Sand-Blaster'?

    I'm needing to invest in a sand-blaster, for small to medium sized projects .... and would appreciate some experienced input. Could anybody recommend a good one to buy? What features on a blasting-gun would you recommend .... and what should I avoid? I have a 'medium' sized compressor, and...

    Need Help With M1 Carbine Rear Sight ... and General Info

    I've been looking over a 'newer' model Iver Johnson M1 Carbine that I'm thinking of buying. The first thing I couldn't help but notice, is that the rear sight was 'very' loose, in its dove-tail mount. It has a sliding ramp type sight - I'm sure it isn't original .... due to the way it was...

    Noisy Stock .... BushMaster, (or 'Rattler') ?

    The collapsible stock on my BM 'shorty', rattles like crazy .... I'm wondering if this is a common complaint, or is this one just out of spec? Been looking for an excuse to buy one of the 'older' types .... maybe this is it. Any suggestions for a replacement? One other thing .... I know...

    Refinishing question: charcoal?

    I once did an older military stock .... and couldn't get it to take enough brown stain to darken it very much. I used a light coat of the "Ebony" colored stain first .... then applied the brown over it. I ended up using a tinted 'satin' polyurethane finish .... but anything would work. Turned...

    Just threatened by a biker dude..

    Oh I know .... I'm just curious, no reason in particular. They're two totally different species of animal, however I know nothing concerning the specs on a Val. Actually, if I were ever to acquire another 2 (or 3) wheeled vehicle, I've always wanted to build a three wheeler, similar to one...

    Just threatened by a biker dude..

    denfoote, Problem is .... most "bikers" aren't real .... just 'wannabies'. The majority are just 'drunks' with leather jackets, and a chip on their shoulder, trying way too hard to 'impress' people. Bigjake, You've got a point, but I'm just wondering (for grins), what the HP rating on the...

    Just threatened by a biker dude..

    TWENTY SEVEN :eek: I really don't think you'd catch much flak from too many people, by riding one of those 'beasties'. BIG difference between that and a GW. I better quit lookin' at that photo, before I find myself at the local Honda shop monday morning .... just to look, of course. :evil...
