I mean a cloth patch like a muzzle loader. I hear about a lot of experimenting with 45/70 rounds and it sounds like fun. It would be economically convenient for me if 250 gr cloth patched slugs with smokeless would preform good at long ranges but i'll probably just get a 300gr mold after some...

yes, i was aware of the diameter difference. I had planned on patches. rcmodel, thank you for a good example there, that actually makes some sense. I hear 300-400 grains is ideal for 45-70, what about 250? has anyone here actually tried it?

Ordered a 45acp/45 colt lead mold for my ssa and 1911 and i thought it would be oh so cool if i could use the same 230 grain bullets that i use in my pistols in the sharps 45/70 I plan on getting to make some faster, flatter shooting loads, and i suppose it would be nice if this worked well...

galv steel 1/8 wall EMT? Iv'e seen makeshift gun barrels made of this before, pressure should also be less due to the larger inner barrel dia. wow everyone really cares for my well being...? Alright, the idea in mind is that even though steel emc is not RATED for pressure, it is a 1/8 wall steel...

yes, barrel length will be about 4 ft and it should be about 5 1/2 ft total. I plan to just use 1 1/4 seamed electrical conduit for the barrel so that pretty much rules out firing anything except multiple pellets. definitely not an assault weapon of any kind. just big.

Perhaps by some favored definitions. Its shoulder fired. raising the lever on the top of the action will allow acces to the extractor and breech and will also wind back the striker. if i get to make it ill post pics & vids.

how can i get my gun examined for plausible exemption?

hold on a sec, so all the goofy little 12ga. pipe guns people make and show off on youtube are actually unregistered destructive devices unless exempt?

good thing i asked. Maybe it could be exempt, it would be big, heavy and almost useless as anything but a novelty. do you know what i have to do to get it examined by the atf for sporting exemption approval?

I have a design for a breach loading smooth 1 1/4 in. bore gun that fires from steel 1 1/4 x 3 1/4 in. rimmed smokeless cartridges. Does that hit an ATF nerve? I know if it was a rifled barrel id be an AOW.

yeah, this gun was a trade in. the previous owner used it for a cowboy shooting mach and decided to quit. when i got it everything checked out ok but trigger pull gauged at about 8 pounds. all of my guns have pristine triggers as i do trigger jobs on most all my guns. but live and learn...

45_auto,my lead is free, i don't use bullet lube. i mold at a friend's house,my powder is 14 dollars/1lb. 22lr shells here are about $22 per 550. thank you everyone for your helpful advice concerning transfer bars.

The transfer bar safety is genius, i love em. but why is it in every gun ive ever seen that has one, it only rises high enough for the hammer to make it strike half of the firing pin when the trigger is fully pulled? when the hammer is lowered and resting on the frame, the transfer bar could...

i want to get the cimmaron model p .45. i just cant figure this, common sense tells me the 7.5 inch barreld "calvary" model is more accurate. but thats if i can hold the barrel steady. me and a friend have shot bottles out of the air and made them dance around at 100 yards with my ruger singel...

kwhi43 thats the best idea ive heard all month but the hand is bent down on the spring pretty flat , ill see what i can do with it. BC rider- you owe me a box of donuts I also noticed that the hand was deformed a bit. Looked like the result of the previous owner slamming the cylinder the...

Bought a nearly perfect used uberti 58 remm at a local gun store. After some messing around with it at home I wondered why the cylinder was hard to take out and harder to put in and noticed that the hand was always out. so after taking it apart and removing an ungodly amount of grease.(??) I...

tested some different combinations of patches and grease with hand casted pure lead conicals for an upcoming elk hunt and none of them could give me groups. the best one was 100gr-3f>patch>conical which hit 16in.low. also tried bore butter on the bullet then throughout the bore which missed the...

I know this must be an old post but for whoever looks at it, I'll clear this up. Their called rebounding hammers, a usefull saftey feature that prevents the hammer from striking the firing pin unless the hammer is first cocked then the trigger is pulled. to test and see if your hammers are real...

There we go, thanks. my plan is to go check it out and see if it looks real good then buy it, maybe take it to the gunsmith see what he has to say. Ive heard good things and bad things about this repro but nobody has had as much trouble with it as ive had with that stoeger. I don't have a single...

the spartian is nice but too but I just don't want to spent that money on a coachgun -my last question- has anyone ever owned one of these rickshaw guns and had it break down on them from using it like they would any other coachgun (not chinese made)
