content Here are a few pics of both guns before they were engraved. The Army Special. The 1917 Colt.

I'm worried oil or grease will stain, as the satin nickel seems to be almost porous and oil would soak into the finish. For now I'm keeping them wiped down until I get more information. Thank's for all the compliments.

A question on the satin nickel finish. Is it safe to use rig grease on the satin nickel?.. If not, what can I use to protect the finish.

Some custom Colt's. Army Special in .41 LC Fitzed. A 1917 Colt.

Baba Louie Both revolvers are to be safe queens, never to be fired by me. As for the .41 LC Ammo. I have collected it for several years, plus reloading it for my collection of Army Specials in .41 LC.

Mossbergs have been going up in cost the last several years thanks to sites like gunbroker and auctionarms. Lot's of people are finding out what a great rifle the Mossbergs can be. The walnut stocks on some models can be real nice, matching much more expensive rifles of the same era.

Thank you sir, are you a Mossberg fan?

tarawa Prior to getting the Brooks mould, I used .715 size Rush Creek Roundballs with a prelubed .015 patch with good effect, taking a few deer with that combination. Talking with other people who have the .72 caliber Kodiak, we noted that bore size seems to vary from gun to gun. I sent my...

Yes, I use beeswax as lube for my bullets, you can see it on the .58

tarawa The Brooks mould being made for you will produce a .72 caliber conical like the one in the center of the photo. To the left is a .58 caliber REAL bullet and to the right is a Four Bore bullet for size comparison.
