BP Hunter, check your PMs.

He was a good man with whom I had the honor of corresponding on several occasions. He was well-respected in his field and a true gentleman. He will be missed. May God bless him and keep him.

If you want something different and want to spend some money, Dave Clements with turn a .357 Mag GP-100 into a 10mm. I have one. Great gun....but still no lightweight. http://www.clementscustomguns.com/rugerdarevolvers.html

I had three Ubertis in a row have mainspring weak enough to produce failures to fire. I replaced them with Colt factory SAA mainsprings. They had to be trimmed a bit in length to fit, but now when the hammer falls, those guns go OFF!

From the seller: "Under the loading lever it is marked C.O.M.-" Which still tells me precisely nothing....

Pietta based upon what?

As to who built this one? No further info. What you see is what I have.

+1 on the .380 Lee mold. I am on my second...I wore out the first. It's the only round ball I use with my Navy revolvers.

That sounds like a grand plan...right up to the point you try to measure a bore diameter with an odd number (seven in this case) of lands and grooves. Measuring across the center of the slug (covering one land and one groove), I get .3712". Suggestions?

Gents, I have two 1851 Navy revolvers. One is a recent-production Uberti, and the other is a Second Generation Colt. While the fit and finish on the Colt are superior to the Uberti (and should be), the Uberti is considerably more accurate. That being said, the cylinder throats on the Colt...

While you CAN drill and tap the arbor to lengthen it with a screw, you can also lengthen the arbor by building it up with JP Weld, and trimming it back util the correct length is reached.

Hellgate, Would you happen to have a picture of this procedure? I am having a difficult time visualizing it...

Missfires with both factory and Treso nipples...but not all of the time. if it was all of the time, it would be much easire to diagnose.

In the past two months, I have had two Uberti revolvers (an 1860 and 1851 Navy) both develop miss-fire issues due to weak mainsprings. A weak mainspring may make for a light, smooth action, but it does nothing for reliability when the cap needs a good WHACK! There are reduced power spring kits...

Oh good grief! RUGER? How boring can you get? Let's hear it for the Lemat!! Use the shotgun barrel for small game! Rain FIREPOWER down upon your enemies with NINE shots!!! :D:neener::evil:

Now, if you REALLY want to understand the .45 Colt...I mean, at the root level, load it up with 40 grains of fffg Goex under a 255gr soft lead bullet with a good BP lube. That is an ENTIRELY different animal than the powder puff Trailboss loads!!

Stoney, Just curious...what color is your BOLT? Does it match the rest of the rifle?

OK, I can't find my Brophy 1903 Springfield book, so a pop quiz for the collective: What is the correct metal finish for a Remington 1903A1 (NOT A3)? Black or gray-green Parkerizing?

Gents, I am in need of an old Hi Bev-L-Block front bead base. I cut back an old Auto-5, and it is patterning WAY high with the Colonial Arms base and standard bead. I need the higher base to lower the pattern. Brownells and Midway used to carry them, but they aren't available anymore. In...
