    Loading my own .45ACP CONVERSION CYLINDER LOADS

    Yeah, I said .45ACP conversion cylinder loads. Apparently they aren't readily available these day and that the 45 Colt is more popular with more cowboy reloading information out there. I have one of these in stainless for a Pietta Remington 1858. 45ACP cowboy ammo is not only difficult to find...

    M96/38, M38 and M96 front sight protectors differences

    More dumb dumb questions. Here goes. My Swedish M38, that I recently purchased, didn't come with a front sight protector. I want to get one for it. My M96 has one and it looks great! IMHO )1) Were these sight protectors discarded a lot when the Swedes used this rifle back in the day or is...

    Bore condition on Swede M38

    My purpose built M38 Swedish Mauser (with the bent bolt ) has all three numbers on the brass disc that indicate bore condition with arrows pointed at each one. The bore looks great! All the parts numbers are matching on this 1942 Husky, serial # 6515XX. Is this just a succession of bore...

    Kel Tec SU16CA conversion

    I'm wondering if I can convert my Kel Tec SU16Ca to a SU16c by buying the "Charlie" folding stock or I would need additional parts? I may be leaving the state and would like to make the conversion, if possible, if I complete my move out of California. The "Charlie" model is not legal...

    Brass framed Uberti 1849 pocket pistol

    I am looking at a BP pistol for sale and listed as an Uberti manufactured copy of Colt's 1849 pocket pistol with a brass frame. As I don't recognize the Uberti manufacturers mark and can't find another Uberti 1849 with a brass frame, my question is: Did Uberti make a brass framed copy of this...

    Reasonable price for a 2nd gen SAA Colt.45 cylinder

    What do you folks out there think is a reasonable price for a 2nd gen SAA Colt .45 cylinder. I found one in good shape with the Colt rampart stamp on it for $200. Is that within reason? They seem to be hard to find. Happy New Year to all on THR. Maynard

My "prewar configured" Model 70 is all original and produced in 1946 with the holes drilled and tapped for the side mounted sights. It was not...

    Does anyone own a Lyman Army 44? Do you know if Lyman manufactured it in the USA or had it manufactured overseas? I know they don't sell them anymore.
