Hey guys, I also just got a new CA Bulldog .44, on Saturday afternoon. I'm also pretty impressed so far, even without firing it yet. I got the #14420 black model. I was surprised that it is so light and really pretty small. It's not much bigger than my Taurus model 85 .38sp (but the 85 weighs...

lowercase - I just ordered a Bulldog and should get it next week. What defense handloads do you use or recommend? I load .44 sp for a Ruger BH right now using 240gr JHPs.

Check the head space first. I have one that is really nice but with mismatched numbers. I checked the head space and it's not good. I decided not to shoot it. This was a gun my dad picked up somewhere and eventually put a sporter stock on, but never fired it.

It was a great shot no doubt, but if you notice, from what I saw anyway, the bullet hit low and left on the plate - not on the balloon. The fragments from the steel plate and/or bullet burst the balloon, which was about a foot or so from where the bullet hit.

The poll doesn't allow for checking more than one .357 handgun. I have a Taurus Model 66 (nickel) and also a NM Ruger Blackhawk single action with 6.5" barrel (blue with faux-ivory grips). Love them both.

Check out the Cerakote Air Dry system, it sounds pretty easy and gets pretty good reviews.

For years I have used Pasteur pipettes. Just suck up a little Hoppes and apply to a brush, or parch or bore snake ... no muss, no fuss...

I put a 2x4 on one side of my safe bottom to sit my shorter rifles on, but I only have 3 that need it. The false bottom would be better for more shorties.

I have Leupold scopes too, but I just bought a Vortex Diamondback 4x12-40mm. My rifle is at a gun shop in Oregon being re-bored and re-chambered so I haven't even mounted it yet. But, I'm very impressed with the quality. It's very light weight and the optics are really clear and sharp. I...

OK, last question: What scope mount base is recommended for a low mounted scope on the 03-A3?

I've heard that, however the top of the receiver looks like the Remington name was ground off and re-stamped with "National Ordinance". Is there a serial number data base that can be checked?

RC that's the same one I have. I'll read all the instructions, they look very good, Thanks so much.

I added a link (above) to what looks like mine. I think this was Remington, however it was retooled by National Ordinance and re-stamped. I have had a gunsmith check it over for headspace and such. He said it all checks out fine and should be a good shooter. He also thinks it has a new barrel...

Help please... I inherited an 03-A3 from my dad who put a sporter stock on it but did nothing with the sights. I hate the peep sight and would like to get rid of it and put a scope on it. What's the normal removal method of the rear sight? I removed a small set screw on the right side and...
