Just a thought but I've used black stove polish on my old cast iron wood stoves to make them look good. Mever tried them on a gun. Lust a thought.

Fort Dix 1961 Dec.-jan. 62 basic. That was the preferred method of cleaning the sand and mud after. the 5 mile hike to the grenade range.

87 here. Got home from seven days in the hospital last week from viral pneumonia and strep infection, just about died. Dr's say i am recovering good. I to got tired after shooting 150 to 200 rounds into my 25 yd' yard range. .45 acp and long colt, 9mm, 38 sp. My arms and shoulders felt tired...

They are both beautiful.

Good idea. If it works as intended leave it alone. Just be more attentive when handling it.

My new replacement Blackhawk S/S/ came in from Ruger yesterday. Finish was nicer than the old one that i had destroyed. Sent back my old grips to as I requested.

In general I like to read period. All fiction. I'm sorta old so in the winter i stay out of the cold. Finished the Jack Reacher series and my 60 year old stash of Mike Hammer Spillaine paperbacks (.50 and .60 cents ea) I read Shooting Illustrated from the NRA and of course for real knowledge...

I have a 55 lb. anvil from H F

That gun was marketed as the Stallion. Came with 2 cylinders. 22lr and 22 mag real 4 click action. I have one.

Or the Three Stooges with the 20 shooters.

I like Uberti a lot. The rest is a poor excuse for any form of quality. Cimarron, Pietta and the rest is junk. Looks like the toy six guns of the fifties.

Uberti calls it a nut and bolt. Physically remove parts 3 4 5 and assure yourself they are there and make sure they fit in the base pin groove when the pin is all the way in.

When i build shelves that i may use for different purposes i use adjustable shelf tracks. Each slot is about 1/2 in spaced or use the perch type with the pins for Infinet spacing.
