    Taylor's R&D cylinder fitting NMA

    Just received a Taylor's .45colt conversion cylinder for my Pietta NMA but its obvious that something (the hand at least?) needs adjustment. Cocking the hammer rotates the cylinder clockwise to lockup as it should, but when the trigger is pulled the bolt drops and the cylinder rotates back...

    Bullet choice for reduced loads

    Greets, My 10yo nephew will be hunting with his dad for spring black bear, and the plan is for him to use a youth model Savage chambered in 7mm-08. He is on the small side, and I told my brother I would load up some reduced rounds for him to use in this rifle. I have a few different 7mm...

    Older Redding pistol die set

    A friend gave me an older Redding .44 mag 3 die set (series A) and the instructions are not there - it appears that the decapping is done with the second (expander) die instead of the first FL sizing die and I guess that's how Redding used to do it.

    1911A1 firing pin stop question

    I'm having to replace the firing pin stop on this Colt GI 1911A1 and have some questions for you 1911 experts - I ordered an STI series 70 stop and I'm in the process of fitting it to the slide. The replacement part is quite a bit thicker than the original piece. I'll be able to fit it into...

    1911 A1 damaged slide

    I know this may be painful to see but this slide is from a '43 Colt GI 1911A1 that I rescued from it's abusive owner. It was beat with a hammer on both ends, but mostly on the rear. Luckily everything still fits so it's primarily cosmetic damage, but is this fixable? Can the pushed up lip be...

    1911A1 Extractor

    Recently I rescued an abused 1943 Colt M1911A1 from my father-in-law. I pretty much have it back to shooting condition and test fired it tonight. Extraction is erratic, and many times failed to pull the fired case out of the chamber. Sometimes the brass flew way back, sometimes into my...

    Blown primer

    I've been reloading for 4 years but had a first the other day - a blown primer in a .22-250 :what: Now I'm second guessing myself about this load - it was worked up below book max, and we've fired about 70 rounds out of this batch with no problem whatsoever. It was a hot day, but the other...
