    The spring is off the guide. It wasn't intentional. I have four No. 1s and three No. 3's, so I have removed the assembly dozens of times. On this particular rifle, though, the keeper pin got...

    Ruger No. 1 Hammer Spring Tool?

    I am in desperate need of a Brownell's/Sinclair Ruger No. 1 Hammer Spring Compression Tool. Does anyone have one that they would sell or rent? Thanks!

    Short barrel, stainless steel is not my cup of tea. Blued with 26" barrel, I'd be there.

    I have a T-L set for 222 (triple deuce) that has a FL sizing die, works quite well. I think I also have one for 22 Hornet, but it's lost in the "archeological dig" of my old shop. I know I have a...

    42 grains WWII surplus 4831 and 311284. X-ring on SR target prone at 200 yards; 10-ring at 200 yards sitting. From my old IHC, circa 1972. You can substitute the "new" 4831 without problems.

    Yup. Even when I was 17 I had trouble with the old targets. The original Able target had an 8 inch bull and no V ring. That was before my time, thankfully.

    You need a 120 degree vee-anvil micrometer to accurately measure slugs for a 3-groove barrel. All of my 1889's are .310 and up.

    The current LR target (800, 900, and 1000 yards) has an aiming black of 44 inches: that's the 8,9,10 and X rings. The ten ring is 20 inches, the X ring ten inches.

    The bolt does not lock into the barrel, but the barrel breech bolster is way oversized compared to what we gringos are used to; and the primary extraction cams are machined into the breech face. See...

    I have 3 of the "Alpine sporters". I think very few of them were made from K11's, they seem to be (by serial number) shortened 1896/1911 or 1911 long rifles. I don't think the Swiss had released the...

    Greetings Forrest,

    If you like the M48, try a 24/47. I purchased a M48 when they were $79, and I discovered as you did, that nothing fit properly. And the receiver seemed rather soft. Then I...

    Me too. My first .30 mould was the Ideal 311291. That shot very very well from my first 03A3 at 100 yards. I got the 311284 because I wanted something with the legs to go out to 200 dependably, and...
