    H&A Underhammer peep sight

    Check with Numrich Arms aka: The Gun Parts Corp.. They manufactured and sold those Hopkins and Allen underhammers for many years and likely still retain the rights to that trademark. If anyone would still have parts, it'd most likely be them. Another place to check would be Dixie Gun Works...

    Short-barrelled Smith & Wesson Top Break - Invention or Historically Accurate?

    If I remember correctly, when the inventory of government-owned No. 3 "Schofields" were withdrawn from issue and sold as surplus many (if not most) were purchased by a large east coast firm (the name of which eludes me at present) and sold on the civilian market, A goodly percentage of these...

    Cant believe the rust\damage on this Ruger LC9

    Many of us geezers who predate the advent of the use of stainless steel to fabricate firearms used to apply a coat or two of silicone car wax to our carry and hunting weapons. It worked quite well, though doing at least a cursory wipe-down now and then was still a good practice. Two very...

    Nylon 66 home.Now what to do to clean it?

    If you'll go to the Remington website you'll find a section where you can order a photocopy of the original owner's manual for most Remington firearms. This includes the Nylon 66 series. All you need do is fill out the request, provide the serial number (this so that they can ascertain the...

    The Marlin 39 Club

    You're welcome RSchleder. Glad you found it helpful. I usually order from Brownell's or Midway USA. The sights come in a rather wide variety of heights and base widths. I've never had to use a taller-than-stock front on any of my Marlins so far in order to obtain a proper zero with ample...

    SKS tech-sights

    Thanks, DMK! That's the model (TS200) I plan on installing. My concern was whether or not it might have enough elevation adjustment available to compensate for the Firesight's semi-fixed position. Next on the agenda: TG off to Kiivari.

    The Marlin 39 Club

    I have experienced much the same problem getting a clear focus on the front sight, RSchleder, especially with traditional open irons. For me, mounting a receiver sight such as the Lyman 66 or Williams Foolproof/5D along with replacing the factory gold bead front with a fiber optic one makes a...

    SKS tech-sights

    No intent of "threadjack" intended, but since my now-bifocal-clad eyes no longer do too well with open irons I've been considering installing a Tech-Sight on my own SKS. Since replacing the factory front blade/bead sight with a FO unit has made a huge difference for me when used with a...

    Lard .........?

    IIRC, the Dixie catalog used to contain at least a couple of different formulae for concocting your own BP patch lube. Haven't gotten a new one in several years, so I can't say if it still does. One that I do recall was along the lines of the aforementioned mutton tallow and beeswax mix...

    Best sights for Marlin 60

    Due to my aging eyes inability to get a sharp focus on the front sight of the old Westfield-branded M60 my late father had, it sat idle in my safe for a number of years. When I noticed that replacing the factory gold bead front sights on my several Marlin LAs with a Williams Firesight FO unit...

    .38spl short barrel SD load

    Back in the Olden Days when my primary CCW was most usually a 2" .38 Spl. revolver I originally used the so-called "FBI load" of a 158 gr. LSWCHP loaded to +P levels. I found that an exclusive diet of them was sort of tough on my M36 S&W, which would loosen up to the point of needing a factory...

    Dan Wesson Monson 15-2

    As I said, hardluk1, just MO. I'll stand by my comment on the GP100 though; I've never seen another production DA .357 with as much extra "beef"in the frame, cylinder and major lockwork parts as they have. When I first started reloading for my DW, .38 spl. cases were much, much cheaper and...

    Dan Wesson Monson 15-2

    I've owned both a S&W M28 with the N-frame and a Ruger GP100. Personally, I think that in terms of sheer strength either of those would be more likely to hold up better under extended hard use with very heavy loads than your average M15-2. The trade-off for that, IMO, is that both are quite...

    Dan Wesson Monson 15-2

    Steve CT is correct. There were originally four barrel shroud configuration options: Standard (solid rib, underlug just past the ejection rod) Vented (vented rib, lug as above) Heavy (solid rib, full underlug) Vented Heavy (vented rib, full underlug) I purchased my first one in 6"...

    Dan Wesson Monson 15-2

    All I can tell you for sure is that I've owned my original Monson-made DW M.15-2 since 1976 and it has yet to fail me. God alone knows what the actual round count might be, but it's certainly somewhere well into the five-figures by now. Granted, the vast majority of those have been my...

    What do you feed your pistol caliber carbine?

    In all of my three .38 Spl/.357 Mag. carbines (two pre-Taurus Rossi M92 LAs and my beloved IMI Timberwolf Pump) I usually shoot my standard, general purpose handloads. That consists of a 158 gr. LSWC over 5.0 gr. of Unique in .357 cases with a WW or CCI SP primer. It's inexpensive to produce...

    The Marlin 39 Club

    I've had a Williams "Foolproof" receiver sight mounted on my old M39M since about a month after I bought it, circa 1980. If your M39 is one which has the factory drilled and tapped mounting holes on the left rear side of the receiver, I'd highly recommend that you consider it. Mine did not...

    What's up with Win. Dynapoint 22 ammo?

    Never used more than a couple of boxes of the Dynapoint. FWIW, one inexpensive SV load that's impressed me quite a bit is the Aguila 40 gr. stuff. It used to be a good deal less expensive than CCI, etc. and quite competitive with the Big Box bulk packs. It has proven to be capable of...

    IMI Timberwolf .357 pump, red dot or irons?

    That's one of the things I'll want to ask the tech help folks at Brownell's. From what little I've seen in the way of pictures showing an NECG sight mounted on a rifle it appears that the body of the sight is designed so that the aperture assembly actually sits "down" inside the deep, wide...

    IMI Timberwolf .357 pump, red dot or irons?

    I've gotten to wondering if one of those receiver/peep aux. rear sights that NECG made to fit Weaver bases, the Ruger, CZ , etc. integral scope mounts would work. Gotta check the Brownell's book again, just to make sure I'm remembering correctly about a Weaver model. IIRC, the Ruger and CZ...
