Does anyone have any extra end shake bearings for a S&W L-Frame that they don't need anymore? I need some to shim my 586. Brownell's sells packs of ten, but I don't need that many. Anybody got some they would like to sell? Thanks, Boo586

Several things may be going on to result in a lower velocity reading. First off, if your bullets are jumping crimp then not enough pressure is being built up upon firing. You may have over crimped damaging the bullet. And by the sound of it there is not enough neck tension on the bullet...

Just moved a 550 lb safe myself. A heavy duty dolly and a couple of relatively strong and patient friends are what you need. One person behind the dolly and one person on each side of the safe to help guide it. The hardest part of moving a safe is getting it onto and off of the back of a...

Chris, I am glad to hear that you got the scope working for you on your 30-30. I just got back online and saw your post and then checked my private messages. I am glad that you are happy with it. The money from the scope went towards a big fire safe. All I have to do is anchor the safe to...

The gun that Gibbs would of used would not have been a M24 because that is the Army's Sniper rifle. Gibbs is a MARINE, therefore his gun is a M-40. Hopefully somebody TIVO'ed it to answer this question, but what I got out of the episode was that the specific load that the sniper used is...

one has to remember that a 44 magnum or 44 special shoots a bullet that is only .429 inches in diameter while the 41 magnum shoots a .41 inch diameter bullet. That is a difference of only 0.019 inches in diameter or just slightly more than 1/64 th of an inch. This could happen very easily...

My brother and dad have the same gun, but only in the 12 guage model. I have always been told that when using a rifled slug barrel do not use the rifled slugs meant for smooth bores. What you need to try is some of the sabotted 20 guage slugs. DO NOT use the 3" shells, only use the 2.75"...

I had one!! I could not find any fault with the gun accept that I wanted something smaller for concealed cary and didn't really like the position of the safety. It ate everything that I fed it and that includes my SWC reloads. Accurate enough and lite enough for carry, but pretty thick in the...

jondar, total guess here, but you may have to trim the cases close to the final length and then bump the shoulder back with the Lee Die. This is a total guess though. boo586

The cheapest that I know of is National Bullet Company. What you do is send them 500 pieces of 45 Colt brass and they will reload your brass for you with either a 200 grain RNFP or 250 grain RNFP bullet for $78 plus shipping. That comes out to $7.80 per box of 50 plus shipping. The price...

Bobster, I have a variable power scope for sale in the Accessories section. 2-6x32 Bushnell, Trophy Pistol Scope with weaver rings. The scope is blued/black, not silver unfortunately. I had this scope on my 6" S&W model 586, the blued version of your 686. PM me if you are interested...

That is why i like these bullets so much. THe bullet isn't much longer than the 180 grain Hornady XTP's, but the location of the cannelure is a lot different. THe 180 grain Hornady XTP's (that I have) have two cannelures. The one closest to the nose of the bullet is for seating in 357...

Max charge for a 125 grain JSP is 9.6 grains of Unique (according to the Alliant website) so I would say your load is way too light. Max load for a 158 grain Lead SWC is 6.9 grains of Unique. 6 grains of Unique is a pretty common load for 158 grain bullets in the 357 magnum if I remember...

Brian, Did you round butt the frame yourself or did it come that way on the donor Model 65? I have a 65-2, square butt with a 4" heavy barrel that I might turn into a project gun. I am thinking round butt conversion and cutting the barrel down to the partial ejector shroud. Is that...

Brian, Is that your 357 Mountain revolver that you built up? Is that pencil barrel from a model 64 38 special. Just wondering. Boo586

Sam, I bet if you welded or bolted some flat areas inside that thing the tumbling action would be even better and clean the brass faster. However, I am one for not messing with something if it ain't broke. Boo586

Sam, How does the smooth barrel cause the media and brass to tumble? I have the same setup as you (much smaller scale) and I had to put a flat area inside my barrel to cause the media to tumble instead of just sitting and spinning. Are there fins inside of there that I can't see? I went...

Get into reloading!!! What ever caliber you decide on, get into reloading and get a progressive of some sort. Because you will be shooting a lot!!! Matching pair of single action sixguns: Uberti, Berreta, taurus or Ruger. Rossi (aka Puma) or Winchester lever action rifle in matching...

Saluco, Smth and Wesson is now offering the Model 60, which is a J-Frame, with a 5 inch barrel and adjustable sights. It is only a 5 shooter, but it would be the ultimate .357 or 38 Special for those with small hands and wanting fixed sights and a longer barrel. Boo586

Let me rephrase or change my approach. How hard is it to remove and install a Pinned Smith and Wesson barrel?? I have read in many of the posts on this board that it is much easier to remove and reinstall a pinned barrel versus the new type of barrel that Smith installs. I ask, because a...
