I've owned probably two dozen guns of various types in the decade or so I've been shooting, but I've never actually owned a semi-auto rifle besides a .22 LR. The main reasons are (1) I don't care for the noise and (2) I hate the idea of fetching all the brass for reloading, at least when...

So I have a new TRR8, which I'm super excited about (especially after dry practicing with a moon clip full of 38 Short Colt and finding that the chambers basically act like magnets). I was about to mount the optics rail to fiddle around with it when I realized that I was putting steel on...

I've made several different threads about my quest for a moon clip revolver over the past year or so. My goals have changed slightly as I've learned more, but I'm looking for a revolver that: Uses moon clips for fast reloads Has a very good trigger Does not have a stainless or all-silver...

Hi all, I've been using a Lee Classic Turret press for somewhere around a year and a half. By and large, it's been really good, and I can pretty much say the same for all my Lee dies and accessories. I'm planning to move to a progressive, and the Load Master seems like the right choice as...

So two things from the get go. I am new to the concept, but there are two things I see pretty often with respect to 1911 comps. (1) "Bushing compensators are useless because there's too much space around the bullet leaving the muzzle" (2) "Compensators aren't useful for 45 ACP because the...

I know it's kind of a generic topic. I have a Mosin, which is in good shape overall, shoots very well, but has a below average action, and I say that with the understanding that Mosin actions in general are pretty rough. It's hard to open (cock), heck it's even a little hard to open when...

So I want a few 10-rounders, but for some reason I just hate the long base pads that seem to come on most of them. The Wilson Combat mags don't have that, but they're more expensive and they have a protrusion that seems like it might get in the way. I think I understand that that thing is...

So the second batch of .45 Long Colt I ever made, a little over a year ago, I made with Pyrodex P. I had decided to sell my BP cap and ball revolver for a flintlock, and therefore needed to go "real BP" instead of substitute, and so I had little other use for the leftover Pyrodex except in a...

My Eclipse Custom II has some corrosion on the barrel. This came from storage in a high humidity environment that I did not adequately prepare for. Now I want to see if I can clean it up. Related, I'm looking into adding a mag well, extended slide release, and compensator. The comp means...

Hi guys, I started this thread a couple of days ago opening up my quest for a 9mm or similar revolver for quick moon clip reloads. Lots of good advice was given. I talked to Tom at TK Custom and he said he could convert Dan Wesson 15-2 cylinders to accept moon clips, and/or rechamber for...

Last summer I took up in earnest my quest for a moon clip revolver for general shooting and maybe some slightly-competitive action shooting. I started this thread asking about 9mm and 45 ACP revolvers, with my main condition being that I didn't want a stainless steel finish. Settled on the S&W...

Hi all, I'm assembling a Traditions Kentucky rifle from one of the kits. I've assembled a Trapper flintlock pistol before with good results (for a first try, anyway). Generally speaking I'm only moderately handy. No significant woodworking experience. With this one I can't figure...

I tend to write my posts in long-form. I figure most people are here to "talk shop" anyway and have the patience for an essay-type post, but not everyone. I've put the questions in a special section below. So anyway, I thought I knew what I was getting into when I decided to go with a CZ 527...

Hello all, I've pretty much sold myself on buying a CZ 527 in 22 Hornet next month. I'm starting to think reloading components and scope now. My main use for the gun will be 100 yard shooting, shooting for groups and at very small targets. I'd like to be able to consistently hit golf...

I'm planning to get a CZ 527 in 22 Hornet next month, and I've been looking at my reloading options. Theoretically the rifle could be extremely accurate. I'm looking to develop two loads -- one that's cheap to shoot but still stays under 2 MOA, and another for maximum accuracy without...

So I've been reloading 38 S&W for a little while now, and I really like shooting the Webley. Here's my load data: 125 gr LFP (coated) - 3.3 gr Trail Boss - 805 FPS w/ ~80 FPS extreme spread 125 gr LFP (coated) - 3.2 gr Unique - 710 FPS w/ ~45 FPS extreme spread (note that the spread values are...

So while fantasizing about owning a S&W 325 Thunder Ranch over here in this thread I got to thinking of how I might use (or not) the light rail. Has anyone put one of the rail adapters intended for semi-autos on a 325 or any of the other rare breed of revolvers that have an under-barrel...

So I got a Webley Mk IV (.38 S&W) a few weeks ago and I've put several hundred rounds through it now. I quickly learned some things I didn't fully expect before getting my hands on it. #4 represents the main question for this thread: (1) The thing is built so well! Tolerances are tight...

I've been looking for a full-size 9mm or 45 ACP revolver for some time. Problem is, I really don't like the look of stainless steel on revolvers, which puts the Redhawk and 9mm S&Ws out immediately. This basically leaves two options: The Czechpoint / Alfa Proj 9231 in 9mm, which was discussed...

UPDATE 8/4/15: I contacted Missouri Bullet about the problem. Brad got back to me quickly, found that their sizing die for coated .358" had worn out faster than expected, causing the extra diameter, and sent me a new box. Helpful people on this thread have given me several things to try to...
