As I wrote. I've been trying to find out more info on Mag-Spark adapters. They allow you to use 209 Shotgun primers in place of caps. It seems like a neat thing but if it was so neat then why haven't I seen them all over the place? They're not cheap but if they work I think it would be...

As the title said. I'd like to re-barrel one of my already customized Ruger Old Army revolvers with a Bobby Hoyt Progressive or gain twist barrel. Hopefully, an octagon profile. The issue is I can't seem to find anyone to do it. Bobby Hoyt is impossible to get in contact with and so is Charlie...

I'm not sure you remember me but I sent you a few guns some years back to work your magic on and you did so with great success. I sent you an email through your web page but I guess you haven't gotten to it yet. I'm having fits getting the 1858 Remington Uberti back together after having it...

So I ended up with 5 new guns and decided to go out today and give them a spin. They're all 22 WMR or more commonly known as 22 magnums, 1 rifle, and 4 handguns. 1. Savage A22 Pro Magnum Varmint 2. Rock Island Arsenal XT 22 Magnum Pro 3. Smith & Wesson 648-2 Stainless 4. Ruger Single Nine 5...

I have been fortunate enough to have several Ruger Old Army Revolvers. I have just acquired a very low 4-digit serial number 7-1/2" first year production. I have to say, in my opinion, it is superior in almost every way in fit and finish, to my very late production 145-XXXX serial number 5-1/2"...

I've never heard of these things before, inserts that slide into your break open shotgun that allows you to shoot various other calibers from 22lr, 357 mag, 45lc, 45/70 410 to 20ga, just about anything really. They come in lengths from a couple of inches to 18. Now I have to admit it sounds...

Anyone know of an annealing machine that would work for super short cases? I have to case form a bunch of 45 ACP cases into 38/45 Clerke bottleneck cases. For those you unfamiliar with this dinosaur of a cartridge, it's 45 acp case necked down to hold .356/.357 bullets. There are 4 form dies to...

Yeah, I know it may be totally impossible to make work but I'm going to try. Why? No reason what so ever. I'm having a 5" Gov't barrel with a Clark/Para ramp chambered for 380 acp. I think I have the extraction figured out. I have an AFTEC extractor that I have used in my 22 TCM and that will...

Due to many, many reasons I'm not going into, I'm putting a .308 barrel on one of my 303 British rifles. I have measured piles of empty brass from 1/2 dozen 303 British rifles and eight 308 rifles and have found the fired brass necks of the 308's and 303's were all about the same. In many cases...

I have a Canadian Ross Mk III that is in great shape on the outside but the bore looks like rats have been living it. I want to shoot it in some local class competitions. So I'm going to re-barrel it. Krieger will make the barrel and a local gunsmith will cut the threads, chamber and install it...

I seem to be getting too many soft primer strikes, at least one or two per cylinder. You know, you drop the hammer on it once and nothing, and then on the second strike it goes off. I always figured I'm just not seating them well enough. So I make it a practice to push down hard with a wooden...

I'm living in a dream world where Ruger still makes the ROA and it comes with an extra cylinder that uses 209 caps. Let's face it, the chief complaint about most C&B revolvers has something to do with the caps. If a cylinder was made where a 209 cap could be used we would get rid of the vast...

So one of the dumber aspects of the NFA is the inclusion of silencers. I think this is dumb on so many levels. When I lived in Europe, if you had an air rifle, some places REQUIRED a silencer. Here, you put a silencer on anything but your dog and you get to stay at the federal hotel for a period...

The latch that holds the ram to the underside of the barrel has a spring plunger in the end of it. I'm a little perplexed on how to get it out...

So there you are in the largest gunshop in the world. Every gun you could imagine or come up with is within arms reach. A small rip in the space/time continuum opens up and looking in, you see a doorway to the Cretaceous (Yeah! That's right! Cretaceous! Jurassic park got it wrong!) and you see...

I've got a stainless steel fixed sight Unberti Remington 1858. It has a dovetailed front sight....likely 3/th's? Does anyone make a brass front sight that would fit? Has anyone tried one of the Skinner or the like in one of these? I'd really like to go with brass. I have one on another...

The M14/M1A was one of the last full sized battle rifles made that fired a full power cartridge and used a wooden stock and was constructed of labor intensive milled parts. Were any superior to the M1A/M14? 1) FN-49 2) MAS 49 3) Ag M42 Ljungman 4) SVT-40 5) Gewehr 43 Any other...

I was just made aware of this gun. It's a Colt SAA with a percussion cylinder. It has a loading gate and ejector rod housing. I don't know if there is actually an ejector rod in the housing. It would have no purpose at all. As goofy as this whole idea would appear. I have heard that these...

I was looking around for a Remington 1858 revolver. I knew that both Uberti and Pietta made one but was surprised that Pedersoli did as well Although it seems to be a an order of magnitude above the other two as they go for upwards of a grand or so. I've seen them in the Pedersoli catalog and...

I have a stainless 5-1/2" Ruger Old Army. I also have more than a couple of non-OEM stainless cylinders. For reasons of just "because" I'm thinking about having a cylinder treated with a "Black Nitride" finish. Not the whole gun, it's far too valuable for that, just a non-OEM cylinder. I'm...
