A while back i talked to a relative of a person who worked at Vista's primer manufacturing plant and he said he was told that Vista had/has been throttling back primer production. About that same time Jason Vanvronk was out denying that. I'm just repeating what i heard and can't verify the...

I have several hundred hard cast 300 grain lead bullets for 44 caliber. I am looking for any 44 special loads for this heavy of a bullet. I have a Ruger Blackhawk and GP100 in 44 Special. I am hoping to find a load in the 750-850 FPS range. Yeah, I could just load them for my 44 Magnums but I...

Same here. Getting ready to order some 45-70 405 gr bullets with the hi_tek coating. If you can help email code at wwgaylord at msn.com.

It had a slight bulge in the barrel (squib load from previous owner?) in the section just forward of the frame. I looked it over as well as I could where I bought it and didn't figure it out until I ran a Lewis Lead remover down the bore and felt the loose spot. The out side of the barrel just...

I finished my barrel swap finally. I was moved to swing shift and working 6 days a week since the last post on this. Here are a couple pictures of the barrel before torquing it down. I took the measurements off theold barrel to figure cylinder gap. I then turned on the lathe since I didn't want...

found the answer in an old shooters bible. thanks for looking.

I need help determining the the proper fitment for a Holster I got with a recent purchase. It is a Lawrence 1C or IC 513. It came with a Ruger MKI with 6" barrel. The barrel hangs out the end about an inch. I am trying to figure out what the holster is actually designed to be used on. Looked...

Thanks for that info. I have never done this before so everything helps. I have built some FAL's from parts kits and new upper receivers before. The main thing on those is getting the barrel clocked correctly for the final torque down. The inch model use a round shim/washer that has to be...

I needed to clean up where the threaded shank met main body of the barrel. My other method was working slowly but it looked like I was loosing the tighter radius needed for clearance. I dug out my 4 jaw chuck and put it on my little Craftsman/Atlas lathe. There was no way to hold the barrel with...

Poor boy machining. I am using hardened steel drive wheels from a Lincoln Mig welder. These are large enough to cover the barrel lug area and the frame area. They have parallel surfaces front to rear unlike a common washer. Another good thing is the shaft hole is .625 / 5/8", the same as the...

I got the parts kit off of gunbroker. I will upload some pics of my progress so far. The new replacement barrel went just past where I needed it to be so it looks like I have harder route than the easier one. I will have to remove approximately .035" to get the barrel where I need it prior to...

Jim, I tried finding those taps but ended up chasing my tail in circles. I always have a hard time chasing down special tools on their site. Can you tell me how you got to the specific taps you listed? Special keywords I may be missing? I clicked on the gunsmith tools tab, then on handgun tool /...

Jim, that list shows that depending on the minor thread diameter of a S&W Model 28 barrel, it could be a possible donor barrel since it has an enclosed ejector rod like the GP100. If it could be turned down and rethreaded with the correct thread for the GP100, that looks like the only one that...

BBBBill, I appreciate your help on this. I have just enough ambition and tools to either get the job done or create a bigger problem than I started out with. I have that barrel on my gunbroker watch list and hope that the price doesn't spiral out of control. I thought about just sending the gun...

I am totally capable of making a form fitting receiver wrench. As to why put a different barrel on, Why not if it would work. Have you never heard of a Smolt or Smython? A lot of custom guns use barrel from other makers. Rugers end up with S&W barrels frequently from custom gunsmiths. Another...

Can anyone supply me with the size of the threaded shank and thread per inch of a Ruger GP100 barrel ? I was wondering if any other gun barrel could be used in a GP100 frame. It appears that S&W barrels show up more often as parts for sale. Maybe a Taurus Barrel could be modified. Thanks for...

Watergun, what is the brand of bases? Can I just buy the front base? Part # ??

I have plenty of wiggle room on the rear scope ring. I just keep running into the scope bell with the front ring. The front and rear base are front and rear specific so I can't swap the bases .

Any base that would center the front ring between the front mounting screws would leave me with the same problem. I need a front base that will let the front ring move an inch or better to the rear.

I have a Win Super Grade 338 Mag and it has the Leupold / Burris type turn in front base and the windage adjustable rear base. My problem is that the front ring that twists into the front base is centered between the 2 mounting screws and every scope I have tried the front bell of the scope hits...
