Thanks for your reply. I have Kroil and break free i can try.
As i alluded to, the chain is attached to the patch via the slotted patch holder and the chain remains in the barrel so no tapping it...

I have an old milsurp pull through chain cleaning kit. After shooting my Winchester M100, I inserted the chain into the chamber with a cotton patch in a slotted patch holder on the end. It pulled...

Good person to work with. He has these listed on GunBroker as a buynow, and at the price you have stated.

Buy nice or buy twice. I like the Brownells.

After much research, acquisition of tools, and effort, was successful in making a replacement reloading gate screw for the Whitney Kennedy rifle. Threads are 4BA. Fits better than my worn original...

Those are perty. You find the paper cost effective? What's the price per cartridge?

Buff Arms is selling patch paper, 9-lb at a price that is better than other sources. They don't list the % cotton in the description. Has anyone here used it?

Yes, I think that will be worth doing.

This photo of the two sides of the cartridge cross section, shows the groove profile. I believe there was a burr or a chip on the tool bit used to create the extractor relief. But this is...
Forum: Case Forming / Re-forming
See, I made my own 351 on a lathe from 357 max and they just looked like regular extractor grooves. And some of these also do not have the slot cut on them. These are slits, I'm sure created by the...

The company rep looked at the photo and responded that they are perfectly safe to shoot. Because they are formed from 32-20 brass they retain some of that brass' characteristics.
However, you...

Gaaah, for someone who doesn't usually complain today is not my day.
I received these rounds of 32wsl (see photo). I really bought them for the brass as I thought they were 32wsl, but they are...
Forum: Leverguns
I'm a little curious as to what led you to get the 25-20, knowing you'd face this dilemma. Was it that big a steal? Anyway, if I could afford, I'd sell it and find an old one in the 32-20. That is...

I had a firing pin issue with my Favorite. It was a little bent. Have you removed it and confirmed yours is not bent? I def wouldn't try to bend a straight one...that may give misfires due to a...

Just discovered 32 wsl ammo from Reeds Ammunition & Research. From Ventura Munitions, 351 wsl and 401 wsl. I normally would not purchase ammo, especially this being as it is costly but I like...
Forum: Cast Boolits
Yeah, I no longer pay attention to negative "press" regarding old cartridges. There is hardly a one that isn't decried as being "underpowered" or inadequate in some way. E.g. 30-30, 30 carbine, 351...

I have all except the 1905 in .35.
And why is the neck sizing step with 32-20 needed for fired brass? Due to the brass being thinner than factory wsl?
Interestingly, the Guide to Cartridge...

Hate to bother some with an old thread. On the other hand, this story never saw the final chapter. Did the OP find success with any of the attempted methods?
