Hello the camp! To answer azgun, I copied the following from the AZ Citizens Defense League site [ http://www.azcdl.org/html/bill_tracking.html ]. Number: AZ HB 2455 - Updated (Status 05/09/2013) Sponsor: Barton Title: Unclaimed Property; Firearms; Disposition Abstract: Amending...

Hello the camp! Hope you found your problem and fixed it. When I experienced the same problem, it stemmed from the front screw of the trigger housing being loose, allowing the following round to bollix up the works. I carried a stubby screwdriver when I used that rifle. Funny--only that...

Hello the camp! One of my .44-40 Vaqueros has tight chamber mouths. It gages .424; my other gages .429. Ruger wants me to send it back; they'll fix it and return it, but I'll be out the FedEx fee--last time was $70. Here's where I hope the expert advice -- or the 'I tried that and it...

Hello the camp! Not right sure what a RSBH is, but here are several people I know from my 50+ yr in the valley. If they can't handle the job, I'll wager 2 chickens and a goat they know who can. hth Tom Kister; [email protected]; 602-721-3175 Joe Reid, Harry Lawson Co, Tucson...

Yup, MIV; sorta let get away from me. Didn't need them colts or old rugers ennyhoo. Stand by for targets; gotta sell a couple to pay for a couple new builds. Film at 11ought2. mm

Hello the camp! Since DJ signed on, no need for me to dwell on particulars. That said, and in search of simple, I started .45 Colt bp with Bear Creek moly-coated bullets, 2.5cc dipper of Goex FFg and a double layer of beeswax comb for lube. I was working at the time and developed insipient...

Hello the camp! We, obviously, feel your pain; kinda like the vicarious knowledge the toilet seat fell on the other guy's willie. That said, an FFL, when issued, does not differentiate between firearm 'flavors'. I'm sure reason will have no effect on NY gummint types, but one could hope...

Hello the camp! ILOGILNG, I originally posted this shortly after discovering the forum--nearly first post, I think. I threw this in cuz it was still shiny: gratuitous display of my--only in over 24 yr, thank ya--state champeen buckle. OK, a few years old now, but I got it, and am still...

I have culled a bit; if you want to see all pics, see http://s1216.photobucket.com/albums/...MANCAVE043011/ I built the bench, incl 3" thk top, out of <$30 of on-sale 2x4s. Cabs and load bench bases are on-sale cabs from Sutherlands; at ~$50 a pop, I'm not sure I could build them for less...

Loading BP cartridges on my Dillon Hello the camp! I've ramped up BP production by putting a Lyman BP measure on my Dillon 550. I rethreaded one of the drop tube links to fit a Lee Powder-Thru belling die, then attached the BP measure. Due to serious CRS, I use a roofing nail to assure I've...

Hello the camp! The obvious answer is do what your're comfortable with. I tend to push it a tad. I had ~1/4 can of reddot; I used it for nothing. I ginned up a recipe for .45acp and whaled on my Dillon 550. I ran it down until it took about 20 licks to empty the measure; with 5gr as the...

Hello the camp! Having grown up in the Phx area, I feel the pain of those upon whom progress has snuck up and soiled their messkit. Places I took my boys to shoot 20 yr ago are planted in houses--spoken as one who shot against the canal berm back in '02 in N Scottsdale; I hunted pigeons and...

GSL, I found your address. Expanding die is on the way. mm

Hello the camp! Somehow, my pm's got deleted, so I don't have GSL's on-line handle; I have a good memory, it's just short. Ennyhoo, I threw a couple extra .45 Colt dies in with the order; I have now found the balance of the die set. If you want it, it's yours for $6 flatrate postage. Would...

Hello the camp! You're forgetting the Feds--ATF, FCC (if internet related), and anything else you can think of -- USPS if you used a mo, for example. I had a situation that drug too long, until I sent another memo, registered, receipt requested, with ATF cc'd. It was a bluff, but it worked...
