    Problem with my Marlin 1894

    Hello the camp! Hope you found your problem and fixed it. When I experienced the same problem, it stemmed from the front screw of the trigger housing being loose, allowing the following round to bollix up the works. I carried a stubby screwdriver when I used that rifle. Funny--only that...

    Need to rework ruger om vaquero cylinder

    Hello the camp! One of my .44-40 Vaqueros has tight chamber mouths. It gages .424; my other gages .429. Ruger wants me to send it back; they'll fix it and return it, but I'll be out the FedEx fee--last time was $70. Here's where I hope the expert advice -- or the 'I tried that and it...

    Hello the camp! Not right sure what a RSBH is, but here are several people I know from my 50+ yr in the valley. If they can't handle the job, I'll wager 2 chickens and a goat they know who can. hth Tom Kister; [email protected]; 602-721-3175 Joe Reid, Harry Lawson Co, Tucson...

    Anyone loadin black powder into thier .45 LC 'smokelss' rounds ?

    Hello the camp! Since DJ signed on, no need for me to dwell on particulars. That said, and in search of simple, I started .45 Colt bp with Bear Creek moly-coated bullets, 2.5cc dipper of Goex FFg and a double layer of beeswax comb for lube. I was working at the time and developed insipient...

    Problem with FFL Transfer

    Hello the camp! We, obviously, feel your pain; kinda like the vicarious knowledge the toilet seat fell on the other guy's willie. That said, an FFL, when issued, does not differentiate between firearm 'flavors'. I'm sure reason will have no effect on NY gummint types, but one could hope...

    What clever little things have you "invented or discovered" that you can share?

    Loading BP cartridges on my Dillon Hello the camp! I've ramped up BP production by putting a Lyman BP measure on my Dillon 550. I rethreaded one of the drop tube links to fit a Lee Powder-Thru belling die, then attached the BP measure. Due to serious CRS, I use a roofing nail to assure I've...

    Old Ammo?

    Hello the camp! The obvious answer is do what your're comfortable with. I tend to push it a tad. I had ~1/4 can of reddot; I used it for nothing. I ginned up a recipe for .45acp and whaled on my Dillon 550. I ran it down until it took about 20 licks to empty the measure; with 5gr as the...

    Wood pile backstop.

    Hello the camp! Having grown up in the Phx area, I feel the pain of those upon whom progress has snuck up and soiled their messkit. Places I took my boys to shoot 20 yr ago are planted in houses--spoken as one who shot against the canal berm back in '02 in N Scottsdale; I hunted pigeons and...

    GSL in Muscatine, I have more dies for you

    Hello the camp! Somehow, my pm's got deleted, so I don't have GSL's on-line handle; I have a good memory, it's just short. Ennyhoo, I threw a couple extra .45 Colt dies in with the order; I have now found the balance of the die set. If you want it, it's yours for $6 flatrate postage. Would...

    Broken gun under warranty. How to handle unresponsive manufacturer?

    Hello the camp! You're forgetting the Feds--ATF, FCC (if internet related), and anything else you can think of -- USPS if you used a mo, for example. I had a situation that drug too long, until I sent another memo, registered, receipt requested, with ATF cc'd. It was a bluff, but it worked...

    Ancient IMR-3031 safe to use?

    Old powder is powder ya don't have to buy--again Hello the camp! As an inveterate wheeler-dealer, I have picked up odds and ends of powder in deals back to mid-60s. One such, '68 I believe, got me a 5-digit Super Blackhawk and a partial can of red dot. In late 90s, I wanted some .45acp...

    Primers for BP ctgs.

    Hello the camp! PD and FM have the correct skinny. I've tried both mag and std primers, to no apparent conclusion. Now, I've done only match bp loads; no long-range rifle loads. For rifle, I use std rifle primers. PD, you may remember this: in a trade back in ought2, I got a ration of...

    Wondering about blackpowder, but not interested in percussion caps.

    Charge of a CL. A Mis. will stop you from owning a firearm, right?

    Hello the camp! I'm fairly sure it takes a felony conviction to void your civil rights; misdemeanor convictions do not. Gun ownership is within those rights, as are voting rights. When the offense is not violent or otherwise firearm-related, you may petition for return of those rights. hth mm
