    DIY 10/22 Takedown Mod/Kits

    Thanks, I caught that review too but unfortunately it only provides a good view of 1/2 of the takedown assy i.e. the two prongs/lugs that replace the hex screws. The female end in the forestock/barrel that replaces the v-blockend remains something of a mystery. I can guess at what the...

    DIY 10/22 Takedown Mod/Kits

    You've got a nice collection there. My interest in the Hunttown kit lies mostly in curiosity. I'd like a clearer picture of exactly how the Hunttown Arms kit was designed, how it performed & if their design could be replicated.

    DIY 10/22 Takedown Mod/Kits

    I'd like to query the HR forum regarding the Ruger 10/22. Specifically, conversion of the std mdl to a takedown. Around 2015 a company called Hunttown Arms developed a kit which replaced the V-block & the two Allen screws with a push button connect/disconnect device. The company went out of...

    Using 444 Marlin brass for 410 shotguns

    Greetings all. Suffering 410 ammo sticker shock I decided to go to reloading brass for my 410 single. Given the dirth of 410 brass I went to 444 Marlin which does chamber well in my break action. My question to those on the forum that load 444 Marlin for their 410 shotguns, do you use large...

    Savage 24V series d refuses to break open

    A picture (or several) being worth a thousand words, I have attached 4 pics of my 24V barrels & receiver with pencil pointing to items of interest. In the pic of the frame assy the pencil is pointing to an area that had a raised ridge (shiny area). I guessed that this ridge was a defect & I used...

    Savage 24V series d refuses to break open

    As promised I'm back to report. As things turned out, my gunsmith was not able to work on my 24V anytime soon so I retrieved it intending to take it to another gunsmith. However, while the rifle was waiting in the shop I kept researching & came across this recommendation: "using a hook, pull...

    1st diy Blackpowder Making

    I'm embarking on my 1st blackpowder making attempt. I've researched fairly thoroughly & I'm reasonably sure that I've got most of the basics down including safety. However I would like to query the BP Forum with a couple of questions. Some BP makers call for ball milling all the combined...

    .36 Navy Cylinder Interchange

    This is my follow-up to Lance's suggestion to ck with DGW regarding any interchangeability between Pietta or Uberti .36 cylinders & that of EIG's .36 Navy. I have since obtained a spare .36 cylinder for my EIG but it's nevertheless nice of DGW to respond. Here's their input: Dear Sir: Our...

    Cartridge ID

    Hey 1911JAS, thanks much. With the loan of a friend's case gauge I just confirmed #2 as 7.62 X 51. I don't know anyone with an 8mm Mauser so will have to wait a bit.

    .36 Navy Cylinder Interchange

    It's a combo in the way of the Peittas, brass & steel. Your advice anticipates my intentions completely. I fully intend to shoot it regardless of whether or not I find a spare cylinder. The spare cylinder is a convenien not an essential. I actually did locate a cylinder awhile back but the...

    .36 Navy Cylinder Interchange

    I hear you & knew it was a long shot. However, I've been impressed with the depth of the Highroad membership & figured what the heck. I inherited this one still coated in cosmoline, did some research & did find traces of them here & there. Apparently they weren't all that popular. Might explain...

    MCACE Company

    Interesting, I hadn't thought to do a Google search on the phone/address. I do agree on the absence of some sort of message indicating the company's status....ie, currently overloaded, not taking orders, etc.
