    Deeply sorry. Loss of a loved one is the worst part of life.

    Rust removal

    I meant to add, before you do anything, check out Mark Novak's Youtube videos ("Anvil" channel). He's done several beater guns by boiling them. I've tried it (on rusty boat parts, not a gun) and I swear by the hair of Trump, it actually worked!

    Looking for a gun store...

    Thank you kwb! They're still in operation. I'll check 'em out this week. Again, thanks!

    Rust removal

    Don't know about chemicals, but instead of steel wool use this stuff, which won't harm whatever bluing is left (I promise): https://the4570book.com/shop/ols/products/stainless-ribbon-steel-cleaning-pad

    Looking for a gun store...

    ...in the Jacksonville Florida area. I'm new in the area and haven't found much of interest. There's a shop on University Ave that carries a small selection of smokeless powders (no black, apparently) but that's about it. Nothing else for reloaders. Not many places to shoot either, except a...

    Pre-War Model 94......It's Finished!

    Beeyoutiful! (Now you have to shoot it.)

    Smith & Wesson Model 10 photo explanation

    Just noticed this thread. My guess: load your revolver and then shake it back and forth. You will hear a rattle as the cartridges slide within their chambers. There must be just enough headspace slop to allow the motion. Then, upon firing, the case head slaps against the recoil shield, and...

    NICE wood on an Ithaca 37!

    Until a month ago I was only an hour from KTP and shopped there many times. If you're from New Hampshire and you buy a gun at KTP, they will carry it to a little hut they have across the Piscataqua and you can take delivery there; this avoids paying Maine sales tax. Saved me a few dollars...

    Bore scopes

    Just about everyone is going to recommend the Teslong products. (teslong.com)

    Do I need to clean my muzzleloader?

    No of course not. That's what wives are for (well, and sammiches too).
  11. Col. Harrumph

    Any guesses as to what this is?

    Items made for sale to tourists.

    Muzzleloader ball puller?

    Remington 12C help

    A little heat is the first thing I'd try.

    .35 Remington handloads are keyholing

    I can highly recommend this product for rescuing a badly leaded barrel. Just wrap a bit around an old, used-up bronze brush and grease yer elbow! https://the4570book.com/shop/ols/products/stainless-ribbon-steel-cleaning-pad

    Elmer Keith's pressure testing of 38 Special high pressure ammunition

    Keith's book, Sixguns, has several photos of blown-up revolvers shown without attribution. I think I know what happened to them.

    Is this a bedding issue

    I've owned two SKSes over the years and both did the same thing: two halfway decent groups in one sitting, several inches apart. Brownell's Acraglas cured them both, and afterwards both could shoot into the 9 ring reliably.

    Sand Pit Southern Nh

    So, Mr. Override, you moved into your son's basement, I conclude. BZ! Until today I have been at home in southern NH and can confirm there aren't many sandpit areas that aren't actually in the business of selling sand. Any open space you find is likely to be either wetland or a park. You're...

    32 Winchester Special with RCBS #32-170-FN

    You are correct, sir. All other things being equal, it would have to. But things are not normally equal, and I'd bet the case mouth grabbing deeper into the crimp groove would have a greater effect. If the shorter round doesn't show signs of pressure, why worry?!

    32 Winchester Special with RCBS #32-170-FN

    I honestly don't think .004" will matter. Use the crimp groove.
