**WARNING**Rem. .357 Magnum ammo put in .38 Special boxes. .357 rounds should NOT load into a .38Spl, but apparently they will in some guns. http://www.shootingwire.com/story/275535 Chris

No....NO....NO......don’t soak the gun in anything. You really need to find the problem. Black powder is inherently very dirty. The forward index on the cylinder is THE FORCING CONE. Crud builds up on the cylinder fact and forcing cone giving the exact problem you describe. Tap out the wedge...

I have heard......repeat.....HEARD that it is best NOT to clean that portion of the top strap. Let the crud build up. In the end, the crud somewhat protects the strap from further erosion. YMMV Chris

It’s been many years since I shot skeet. Kinda gave up because the birds, regardless of how you cooked them were terrible. The gun. An O/U needs to have different chokes in each barrel. Modified in one and OC in the other. That is what worked for me. Also, depending on the station you are...

Here is the reason I’m looking for as high definition as I can get. The original of the following picture is 6.8Mb’s in size. Way too big for posting on the internet so what you are seeing here are screen shots. Notice the red arrow pointing downward to the label on the stroller. It can’t...

Mods.....There doesn't seem to be a place for this thread, so please feel free to either move this, or if you must, delete it. Hi Folks, Since this is OT, guess this is the right place. I’m considering purchasing an HD game camera or two to set up around the house, not only for two...

I stay from just about anything where the title doesn’t interest me. I ESPECIALLY look, but don’t enter into post up pics of your guns. I just think posting what you have, whether in pictures, or in text in your signature can just be asking for trouble. Chris

Very Nice pics. Some time ago I wrote a small piece and posted it up on my "What is it?" website. Have a read and I hope it helps. Also click on the "home" button the site to scroll thru the What is it photos. http://anyguesses.wordpress.com/picture-tips/ Chris

Feanor, I have a photography question for you. What resolution do you have the camera set at?? I noticed that all the have a file size of plus or minus 100kb. While that resolution is more than adequate for posting up on the internet, that resolution would most likely be of little value if...

I have been watching this for over a year. My response here was not made just off the cuff. I said exactly the same thing a year ago in a published article in a following link. The UPDATE, published at the bottom is a list of Senators who will oppose this Treaty. If your Senator(s) are not on...

This Treaty is already dead, even before the ink is put to paper, let alone ‘dry’. China has already said they would ‘veto’. It only takes one permanent member state/country to veto and it’s over. You can certainly add the UK and possibly Russia to the veto list. Now we come to the US. 57...

“Why is this on a gun forum?”. The mind boggles. I can’t believe what I’m reading here. Nobody seems to be able to look past today, let alone tomorrow. This is a wake up call folks. Not only with the contempt of Holder but with the decision of Obamacare as well. It would be...

Without sulfur is always of interest. I make my own charcoal. So far, white pine works well. Mesquite is VERY marginal.....hey, I'm in AZ. Willow, when I can find it is great. Lemme know your findings. Always interest in ending up chasing my own tail with the endless possibilities. I've also...

I don't think I would do ANY of this under my cabin (RV), wet or dry. What I didn't like about any of the wet methods was, not only was it messy, but the disposal of the gloves I had to wear, and the additional drying time needed to deal with the leftovers if they were going to be salvaged. In...

1KPerDay, This may be a shock, but it works very well for me. My ‘meal’ comes out of the ball mill DRY. I never wet it with anything. There is no need. From the mill, it goes straight into the press. The result is a hard/dry puck ready for granulating. Once I get the size I’m looking for, it...

You really have to think about what is usually happening at different stages of the working of the gun. First. With the hammer down on an empty nipple, you need to hold the hammer down HARD and then move the cylinder thru it’s entire travel of endshake. You should NOT feel the nipple hit the...

I don’t think it’s the cap or nipples. They certainly come into the equasion on not only the cycling properly, but also the ease of cycling. The forward index for the cylinder end shake, which is a critical adjustment, is the forcing cone itself. My guess.....remove the cylinder, scrape all...

Brushhippie, An excellent video indeed. Sorry sir, but I enjoyed listening to the water in the background. Very relaxing. But I did pay attention. In any event, get ready to video every step of the procedure considering the interest of some. Who knows, you may have sparked others to give it a...

Yes, in the fullness of time, I will do the bore. But for those watching, I will only do the first inch to an inch and a half of bore. The prep is considerable, and an error is also considerable. The cylinder alone was difficult enough with the machining marks of a brand new gun...

Jim, Here are the numbers, and I must say I’m impressed. I’ve only done the cylinder so far then other duties encroached. Chamber #: 1.) .4539 2.) .4540 3.) .4539 to 4541 This one would need repeating if critical which it isn’t. 4.) .4541 5.) .4542 6.) .4541 Chris
