My buddy has a request into Ruger for letters currently. He's also located the missing cylinder for the Single Six. Both pistols have not been modified or back to the factory for any upgrades. Thanks so much for your assistance. Semper Fi

The Single Six has a serial number of 3814xx and has also not been modified. Hope that helps! Semper Fi

It doesn't have the transfer bar safety that I could see, and I did not see an "R" stamped anywhere that I saw. If single action 44's were my thing I might have picked it up from him but I don't have the cash necessary for the deal. And as to grabbing it cheap, I just couldn't do that to a...

Hi all! A friend of mine is wanting to sell a couple of pistols. I was able to pull some rough valuations out of Gun Digest but his Blackhawk in 44 has me a bit stumped due to it's age. What he has is a Ruger Blackhawk in 44 Magnum. The serial # is 55XX. It has a 6 1/2" barrel and...

We called up Dillon after we bought a used XL650 off Craigs List, ($450 with accessories :what::D:neener: UPS had buggerfied the boxes and some small parts were missing, (mainly locator pins). Told Dillon customer service what we were missing, they said no problem and shipped it right...

That is what I'd love to build one of these days. Keep us updated as how it shoots. Semper Fi

No ideas but do let me know how it shoots. I've been chewing that idea for a cartridge over for a long time. Semper Fi

I've got a 3x9 Illuminated mounted up on my FAL. It's been great so far. It's held it's zero, consistent adjustment, no problems so far. Semper Fi

Good to hear that IGB! Glad your getting into rolling your own. Just wait till you get loads dialed in for each rifle. You should see some nice results accuracy wise. Oh by the way, that really is a heck of a deal! Semper Fi

We just got our order in from them yesterday. Ordered Monday, recieved the following Thursday. Great prices there by the way. Semper Fi

Smokey Joe, Will probably just end up trashing the steel case stuff, unless the local recycler will take it when we drop off the scrap brass and the aluminum. Semper Fi

My wife and I took our 3 small children with us to a semi private range in the area. One of us stayed with them at all times and kept them well away from the active firing line. We made a game for them called "Pick up the Brass"! They all had fun picking up the spent cases. They also...

Tagging for reference as all my favorites are already mentioned. Semper Fi

Heck my wife is at home right now with the new Shotgun News and a highlighter! I'm sure I'll come home and at least 20-30 pages will have been dog-eared for something interesting or another. Of course I don't don't mind. Most men's wives want jewelery or clothing as presents. Mine was...

My wife's been known to fire off some surplus ammo in her 303 Brit. I think the headstamp indicated it was made in 03..... As in 1903. Scary thing is, about 90% of it still goes bang. I'd never seen cordite till I pulled a couple of the dud rounds. The problem wasnt the cordite, it lit...
