    colt king cobra target 22 brass

    I'm curious what others will say because I don't know that gun. However those bulges I would not like. I've had two S&W .22 revolvers and a Dan Wesson .22 revolver and none left a bulge like that. It seems odd that if the casing isn't supported all the way around that the bulge would only be on...

    Sight-in-Days and Wrong Ammunition

    What happens is they bring two rifles with similar ammunition. One time I had a guy bring a .270 and a 7mm mag if I remember right. Anyway he fired the wrong round in a rifle and it created cuts below his eye somehow. It was bad enough he had to go to the hospital. I'd recommend only one rifle...

    Warning about Ford's refinishing

    I'm amazed anyone would have the gall to do that to a customer's firearm, especially a customized one, and not compensate them. I sure feel for you @Plat1. Best wishes on getting your revolver to exactly the way you want it.

    Cheapest gun you ever paid for?

    I paid $29.95 for a new Rossi single 12 gauge. The lowest for a used gun was $5.00 for a Clerke .22 snubby.

    30 CARBINE BLACKHAWK CYLINDER REPAIR!!!

    I know I am a little late in this thread but a Flex-Hone is easy to use and will make your cylinder very smooth. I thought I'd bring it up as it's very easy to use. Just put it in a drill and you should use some cutting oil in there however I just used CLP. It comes in 400 grit and 800 grit...

    Ruger Customer Service!

    The transfer bar broke from use I guess. I noticed on a Ruger forum that others have had the transfer bar break also. I was just shooting it and after a reload I felt a piece of metal in my hand. Gun has only 3-4000 rounds through it however I have dry fired it a bunch. I think I will go through...

    Ruger Customer Service!

    I called Ruger last week because the transfer bar on my Blackhawk broke. It will be here this week. No charge. I would rather replace things myself rather than going through the trouble to sending an entire gun in.

    Thinking about a 22lr handgun

    A .22 is a fun round to use and have spent numerous hours of enjoyment with my Buckmark and Nylon 66. You can practice fundamentals as well as any other caliber handgun and it's much cheaper. I thought it was a rule you had to have a .22.

    Servisios and Adventuras Primer Observations.

    I've read some people claiming that Servicios primers are hard. I ordered a case of 5,000 and tested 50 with one of my revolvers with a very light trigger. I wanted to make sure my revolvers with light hammer strikes would work or I would have to use them with other guns. All 50 went off just...

    Servisios and Adventuras Primer Observations.

    Keep seeing people having problem with foreign primers due to the fact they are slightly larger. They MUST be forced hard into the pocket and your problems will diminish. Even as a a person said earlier in this thread that pushing them until there's a bit of a dent imbedded into the primer. The...

    .223 too powerful for home defense?

    A .223 round going off in a house even out of a 20" barrel would be ear splitting and likely painful. Also a rifle isn't nearly as easy to maneuver in a house as a handgun nor as fast to get into action. A couple of seconds could be the difference between winning and losing. If I were to use a...

    Anybody familiar with EWK gun parts?

    Eric made some custom springs for me for a pork chop Dan Wesson several years ago for a member of this board who lives in a different country. I sent the guy the springs and he was very happy. Also if the danwessonforum.com is still active he can be found there. There are many people there that...

    Another one waiting for me up there

    You may want to give yourself time before you look for a replacement. You will not replace that dog. I went through the same thing a few months ago and realized it was like being on the rebound from a relationship. I immediately started looking to get another dog but after months realized I will...

    Is the smokeless powder safe to use?

    I empty my hopper when I am done for the day. In my mind the little bit of powder in the hopper isn't worth risking using. Powder is readily available right now.
