No, I don't remember. I just Googled around until I found something.

I have a dandy Buckmark Camper model, got it cheap for $200. I later found out why it was so cheap, the dang thing was FILTHY! I mean, guns get dirty, but this had soot and carbon in places you couldn't imagine. I found and printed out disassembly/reassembly instructions and tore into it. It...

I see bad juju in my crystal ball.....

Ah, from the good old days when you could club a maggot like a baby seal......

That's one of the most well-written and understandable explanations I've ever read! Well done, and thank you! Must go fetch my Cattleman now for a lookie.....

THIS, is interesting! I have a French MAB pistol in .32acp that has feeding issues. I never considered it might be my ammo. I feel an experiment coming on.....

I can only dream of living in a place like that, and harvesting an elk is on my bucket list too. But I also feel it wrong to shoot an elk or deer in the yard. I'd consider them guests or visitors, and they deserve to be respected and watched/admired.

I'm a member of an awesome gun club, and I can usually pick up brass until I can't stand it anymore. Always come home with scads of it. Have a solid 15 gallons of 9mm brass, and nearly 15 gallons of .223 also. Plus lots of .40, .45acp, .380, 10mm, .30-06, .270, .243, .300WinMag, 7mmRemMag, .308...

I've never had any trouble with zinc weights, I don't know why people stress out so bad over them. Zinc melts at a substantially higher temperature than lead, so they just float on top with the rest of the garbage. Use a Lyman thermometer, keep the melt temp under control, scoop off the garbage...

I'd dearly love to get into swaging, but the startup costs are just too much. But I asked on the Castboolits forum for some samples and some guys were kind enough to send me several, Fred may have been one of them. But they are quite cool and very impressive! If it wasn't so costly to start up...

Thank you! I'll be looking into this.

I'd like to get a BUGBite holster for my Bersa .380, but I have fat calves. https://www.bugbiteholsters.com/products/bugbite-mid-calf-holster?variant=16882640134

My best shooting M1 is a Plainfield. No idea of mfg date but I'm guessing early 70's. Also has the Ultimak handguard and a red dot optic, plus a flashlight.

From FIVE FEET? Come on, the shot is still one lump in the plastic wad at five feet. Hang up a dead pig then blast it with a 12 gauge and birdshot from five feet away and see what happens. Your armspread from fingertip to fingertip is longer than 5 feet, unless you're only 5 feet tall.

I'm intrigued - what's a cap rake?
