Kinda what I was thinking PapaG............. the mechanisms look "Browningish".............but I wanted a definitive diagram to go by before I disassemble it to check for functionality.

A friend of mine's Mother had an old little .25ACP that she knew nothing about and wonders if it is usable. I have been unable to identify it in my NRA book of Handguns, so I thought I might post a few pictures and see if anyone knows what this might be because there is no brand name on it, just...

I've been using the PACT set-up ever since it came out. Like the review that was posted said, it is a little on the "slow" side.Since I don't load tons of rounds at a time, the speed is no big deal. And I understand that the newer models have been improved speed-wise and that I could have sent...

Here's some of my favorites in .38Spcl and .45ACP with Universal: .38Spcl 158gr LSWC 4.0gr 496fps in 4" barrel 158gr Ranier Plated Flat Nose 4.2gr 448fps in 4" barrel .45ACP 200gr XTP 6.5gr

For what it is worth, I load all my XTPs (185,200, & 230 gr) at an OAL of 1.245" -in fact all of my HP type bullets get that OAL..............it's where my Springer G.I. model likes 'em. As far as Universal goes - with the 200gr XTPs, I found my most accurate load at the 6.5gr...

For the record clongest: with 700-X and 230gr jacketed or plated bullets - I use 5.2gr of 700-X at an OAL of 1.245. This is for my Springer 1911-A1 GI Model and it shoots point of aim and 2" groups at 15 yards.

Well, my best 185gr JHP load (using Remington Golden Saber bullets) with Red Dot powder is with 6.0gr with the round OAL of 1.245". I can shoot this load into a 2" group at 15 yards offhand all day long with my Springer 1911-A1 GI Model.

Like the Dr said.......... it's pretty ugly up this way right now - but I do want to try this if at all possible. A couple of question though: When do our targets have to be completed? Scoring - I assume the center is "10" and each ring 1 value lower? How willl we compare...

ditto.................... The sight piece (hood and banana-shaped toothed section) is all you need to convert and you can pretty much figure on grinding out some of the bottom section like nicholst55 said. Here is a link to the procedure: http://www.fulton-armory.com/NMRearSight.htm

OLD???? I remember that episode. :o

Yep - the "History" Channel is irking me more and more each day. They have begun revising "History" to Liberal standards and "Channeling" it down the viewers' throats. Give me SyFy or give me death! :cool:

here are my best loads, shot from my 4" Security Six: 158gr Ranier Plated flat nose 7.2gr universal clays 1109fps .61" group@15yd 158gr XTP 16.0gr Win296 1168fps 1.16" group @ 15yd 158gr Gold Dot 15.5gr Win296 1108fps 2.15" group @ 15yd 158gr LSWC...

TomADC: It is indeed possible to shoot Patched round ball out of an in-line - and with surprisingly good results too. Like with the conicals, you just can't push them too fast. 60 to 90gr of PyroRS or Black or 70gr of 777 works pretty good in my Knight. I was able to take out the middle 3" of...

+1 to the copper removal and bore paste before trying the Final Finish System. I used the Tubbs on an old rifle that needed a lot of help - and it did help...........but I don't think I would use it on a reasonably newer bore.

I've had decent results using the GPs out of my Knight - nothing to write home about. One Conical I can recommend for in-lines are the No Excuses 460gr bullets. I would have no qualms hunting with those out to the 75 to 100yd range. One thing about using conicals (or patched balls for that...
