o_O 65 actually. Believe me I've considered it, but whenever I get my hands on an accurate pistol .... no problems. There will come a day though. As for reloading, I never said I was getting keyholes. I've been loading for 40 years, and I know what I'm doing. I seldom use much of a crimp...

None that I know of, but you can tweak 'em a bit if you know how.

That's what I mean, it's the luck of the draw pretty much. Also means that there's nothing inherently wrong with these things that cannot be fixed. I don't believe in jinxes or curses. From my first post; "I know that a firearm is just a machine, and as such, it can be “fixed” like any other...

In that case, wanna trade pistols? Every pistol is going to be different. Maybe the Blackhawk I ended up with was just a fluke that I got a perfect piece. And the Uberti is a rare lemon. Either way, there has to be some way of making this .45 shoot better, rather than just write it off...

Lately I’ve been in contact with a few gunsmiths concerning doing some accurizing work on my Uberti .45. I’ve had a couple tell me to just sell it and buy a Ruger. Ha .... some kind of help. Initially I contacted Cimarron about the accuracy issue and was told that they don’t make “target...

I’m interested in knowing if anyone out there is using .44 special/mag brass for hand loading .44-40 ammo? I was told by some gun shop “expert” that it cannot/should not be done, but I would think that there shouldn’t be that much to it. As .44–40 ammo is stupid expensive, there has to be a...

Be warned; these little mags ain't cheap, at $30-$35 each .... but I guess you don't have much choice, if you need 'em. I have an Interarms Constable .380 .... not a bad little pistol, but for the size and weight of it - it should be a 9mm.

While we're on the subject, I went into Tractor Supply recently, to check out the sand-blasting products, and they had plastic bags of media in two different grits .... 20/40 and 40/80. This stuff was black, but the labeling didn't say what it was. IIRC the brand name on the bags was...

I'm needing to invest in a sand-blaster, for small to medium sized projects .... and would appreciate some experienced input. Could anybody recommend a good one to buy? What features on a blasting-gun would you recommend .... and what should I avoid? I have a 'medium' sized compressor, and...

I've been looking over a 'newer' model Iver Johnson M1 Carbine that I'm thinking of buying. The first thing I couldn't help but notice, is that the rear sight was 'very' loose, in its dove-tail mount. It has a sliding ramp type sight - I'm sure it isn't original .... due to the way it was...

The collapsible stock on my BM 'shorty', rattles like crazy .... I'm wondering if this is a common complaint, or is this one just out of spec? Been looking for an excuse to buy one of the 'older' types .... maybe this is it. Any suggestions for a replacement? One other thing .... I know...

I always preferred Norinco's ammo. Some for sale in the 'accessories' area .... if ya may be interested.

PM's sent

If you're near N. Oklahoma .... how many ya want? :D

I once did an older military stock .... and couldn't get it to take enough brown stain to darken it very much. I used a light coat of the "Ebony" colored stain first .... then applied the brown over it. I ended up using a tinted 'satin' polyurethane finish .... but anything would work. Turned...
