This just happened to me!! Only with a .357 1894 (same XS Sight). After destroying 2 bits and damaging the screw slot, I was able to get mine to move by letting it soak with a good penetrating oil (Kroil, etc.). After a few hours of dripping oil on the area, I was able to tap the screw out...

Thanks for the responses! I will try the new springs to see if that helps with the trigger, but the lever is still quite stiff even when the hammer is cocked. Could the portion of the lever than moves the bolt be slighly longer than usual? Ould that cause any problems? Thanks again...

Hi guys! I just purchased a Marlin 1894C 357 and boy is it a sweet rifle! I have been looking for one for a while now and one poped up for a reasonable price and I jumped on it. However, the action seemed a bit stiff at the store but my 336 was the same way and it is now silky smooth, so...

Another vote for bullseye. I use it under a lswc as my standard load with great results. Bullseye also seems to meter a lot better than some other powders but YMMV. Luke

I would recommend going with the turret. For all practical purposes it's a single stage that changes dies for you, and will allow you to increase production quite a bit after you get the hang of it. With the Lee, you can easily deactivate the auto-index (I believe it's the only part of the...

Well, acording to the website's FAQs: Where is the 1911 R1 made? These guns are built in our manufacturing facility in Ilion, NY. So who knows if "built" means assembled from non-US and MIM parts or completely built in house. Luke

+1 to Magic Man, It's the add-ons (mags, cases, parts, accessories...) that get ya... Luke

1) The "crack" appears to be just the mating line where the sideplate and the frame meet, perfectly normal if it is. The gap might be a little larger than normal but it is probably ok, do you have any clearer pictures? 2) It looks like someone damaged the screw slot with an improper...

Yeah, its pretty much worthless. It says on the back of the bottle that depending on the alloy the color will be between black and gray. So I went back into the machine shop and grabbed every type of aluminum I could find, about six (6061, 5052, 7075, mic-6, 2024, and 1100 IIRC) and not one...

Sir, I have no idea how you can stay in business running a company like this! Low prices, outstanding service, listening to what the customers want, I dont believe you got the bullet casters memo that states that all casters must not talk to customers, no shipping for at least a month, and...

Beltman, Ive got 2. Not a bad wait time for a custom made belt (if you undo the chicago screws your name will probably be under the flap that holds the buckle). And Jim stands behind his product, great guy to do business with.

+1 on reading every bit of info you get your hands on. I also would suggest the ABC's of Reloading. Its a good book about the process for both rifle and pistol as well as tips and safety info, I got mine at the local book store. Also read the stickies at the top of the page, they will help...

+1 on shooting the bajeezus out of the gun before adding any of the "tactical" stuff to it. I started out with an 870 HD model, added a Knoxx SpecOps stock and a red dot, then a sling and side saddle. Before I knew it the thing weighed a ton and was unpleasent to shoot, making me less apt...

I have a set of Hogues on my model 85 and like them alot. I believe Nill also makes 605 grips, though they will be fairly expensive. Grips4guns.com also has some wood grips that will fit your 605. Luke

I believe the burn rate change in different sizes of blackpowder is due to the surface area to volume ratio. The larger pellet has more surface area but a much larger volume than the smaller pellet, taking it longer to burn completely. For example, in a sphere the surface area is a squared...

I have been using these. http://www.bigboyguntoys.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Store_Code=BBGT&Product_Code=M-PC&Category_Code=PC They are fabric, not nylon, but the ones I have are very well built (made in USA) and the people who own the company are great people to deal with.

Ive got an 870 with an 18" barrel and a +2 mag extension for my HD gun and I will admit that my shotgun is heavy and not as nice to swing as my long barreled wingmaster. However, I feel that since I dont carry it on a regular basis the extra 2 shells are more pro than con. One thing that...

Phoenix is a big city, and there is alot of gun shops. Look on the web for Legendary guns, Bear Arms, Scottsdale gun club, Lone Wolf, Derby guns, Guns Etc, and pistol parlour, I have had good experiences with Legendary, Bear arms and to an extent, Lone Wolf (good amount of stock and great...

I think he is talking about a spacer ring to adjust the hieght of the die to load 40 and 10 without readjusting your dies, like this http://www.midwayusa.com/eproductpage.exe/showproduct?saleitemid=312274 I dont see any for 40/10 but I would think that someone shoud have them, if not you could...

I just bought a few boxes of WSPs and noticed that they said for standard AND magnum pistol loads. Did I get some sort of in between primer or are all of the Winchester primers getting away from having two kinds of primers (standard and magnum) in each size?
