Thanks for sharing that info. There's a great series about this campaign -- better than the Mel Gibson movie from decades ago -- that was on Prime, but you might find it on Tubi. It's really well done, and the images of the Battle for the Nek was tough to watch... What a waste (of...

I'm "one of those guys" who finally adopted Lefty's method to quickly find the best load of 4 options for a BP target load -- and it worked for me. As he noted, the "3 shots" fired at each powder charge are intended to get you the "best starting load" to further develop -- but you don't end...

I got one of Tony's shoulder holsters (bandolier style) for a SAA replica off ebay, and I agree that it's very good quality and a great value for the low price paid. Old No7

Great idea about those cheap lights brother! Just one thing to watch out for... When using a white patch pushed ahead of the Endo Scope to snap pictures, if the patch has too coarse of a weave it can result in shadows on the lands and grooves and make them look worse than they are; also, play...

I find a small strip of leather (maybe 2 thicknesses) works well and stays in place better. Old No7

Don't just put a new replacement spring back in there without checking the fit of the bolt to its opening in the bottom of the frame. In my experience, most bolts are fit way too tight (from Italian makers); you don't want it loose and wiggly, but if its a friction fit that will cause the...

That suggests it's powder fouling related to me... Guess I'll have to get mine out to shoot again. Old No7

Here's some more info... Old No7 "The history of the American West has a thread of Mormonism sewn through its fabric. Early Mormon settlements and pilgrims could be found extensively in all points west of Missouri from 1850 onward. As noted in On the Mormon Frontier: The Diary of Hosea Stout...

OK, I did... Interesting character! Old No7 "Porter, as he was called, has been credited with killing more outlaws than Wyatt Earp, Bat Masterson, Doc Holliday, and Tom Horn combined - a reputation which earned him the rather menacing nickname, “Destroying Angel.” Having been one of the very...

More like... "Highway to Hello, got any money left?" :) I don't feel like I have too many "nice guns" now -- in fact, I need MORE. Old No7

This is my first COVID-era gun-related purchase in over 8 weeks... That's the longest "dry spell" of not buying any gun accessories or ammo since I was a teenager... And that was a loooooooooong time ago... But I think I made up for the wait in style. Anyway, I do like Elk Stag grips, and this...

Wow, that's well done -- excellent piece of work. I'll have to read again later, but the exhaustive detail and images seen in a quick review reminds me of the technical articles that were written about primers, cases or powder position that would be published in "Precision Shooting Magazine"...

I Took a Beautiful "Cougar" Home the Other Day......... Luckily, it wasn't a large feline -- or the female human variety either... ;) But she is rather pretty! I used to have a nice T/C Hawken but sold it off when a shooter at the club made me one of those "can't refuse" offers. I wasn't...

It is now... In fact -- they ALL are now! Old No7

And also available on Netflix! Great series overall, a little corny at times, but quite enjoyable. Old No7
