A lot of older fellows swear by, and use the Merit attachment: https://www.meritcorporation.com/products.html Me? I just shut my eyes and hope for the best, so it's moot. (Just kidding! -- but I...

I like your method! What I did a while back was my "discovery" of the Hornady Lock n Load dies where I reckoned it would be a quick solution. However -- NO complaint/gripe with the Hornady product,...
Thank you DougGuy, for posting this! I'm just starting to load for the revolver you did a marvelous honing job on!

Forum: Completed Deals
If you do not connect with Pirate69 -- which sounds like a good deal -- I have at least two good-shape M1 Garand trigger groups. They are the stamped versions (as opposed to "milled") and were simply...
I also have two .25ACP pistols; and, like you (I needed do this when I got my XP100 in .221 Fireball) purchase "factory" just to get the brass for reloading. At a LGS trip a couple of months back I...
30 rounds per hour is not too bad... might be quicker than it takes me! A couple of years ago I took 1/8"or so -- doesn't sound like much but I still have the scar! -- from the side of my index...

Great to learn of another Lyman All-American user. As most all came without any printed instructions (??), I know I used mine for more than a year before an old range sage brought that little screw...

I have the .22 mag version, and also experienced disassembly challenge. I chucked cyl. rod in an electric drill and spun it slowly on a buffing wheel with white rouge on it. It needed reversal as...

Two questions, to wit:
1/ Are these blued or stainless steel?
2/ Are the front sights the old, plain ones; or, the fibre optic version?
Thanks.

I am most fortunate to have a few Winchester levers chambered in .32 Winchester Special. My favourite is one produced -- ser. no. 1,513,xxx --in 1948 -- the year of my birth! My two favourite...
At the college where I was employed the custodial staff went from metal framed, to hold canvas trash bags, to plastic ones with built-in wheels. One of the now-trash units ended up in the back of my...

An added note is I could've gotten a deal and one-half on a "30-30" Model 94 Winchester -- early 1950s vintage -- as heartbroken owner (Steve) found he had a hard time hitting the broad side of a...

I have TWICE sent air-arms to Umarex, with both cases 101% to my happiness and satisfaction. One was a PCP rifle of which I could NOT get air into, which turned out to be a fault at MY end -- the...

Mine is a -1 model (serial #CEA8xxx) and to say I love it would be an understatement!!! My favourite pill for it is a my-cast Hensely & Gibbs .44 Keith semi-wadcutter bullet, sized in my Lyman 450...

Maybe I was lucky, but I took on the task of making quite a pile of dummy ammo for club instructional purposes. With a time line -- the Saturday class, and this was Thursday -- I was going OK until...
I made/have one similar to yours, 'cept I added what I deemed "an ingenious feature"! To wit, I drilled out the cases primer pocket and threaded it: 10-32. Then, I put a nut on a 10-32 by 3/4" long...

I cannot thank you enough! Wonderful info, and just what I was looking for. Shop is ~40 miles distance, and I've not seen this arm, other than a few photos shop has listed. And twenty bucks less...

I have more .22s than anyone might own :), but I couldn't stop dwelling on a SAVAGE Model 64 at a sort-of local shop with a $119.99 price tag on it. It's only "defect" that I can see is a prior...
