Just ordered a complete hammer assembly from Apex gun parts. I'll have to tap the pin out of the hammer nose, and install either a new pin, or the original one if it's salvageable. If anyone has...
Finish is rough, but smooth. The finish is GONE, but the bore is good. The rifling is sharp.

Webleys are nice guns. I've always wanted one of the Welbey Mk VI's. I'm still waiting for my dad to bring it over, so no pics yet. He told me that there's a possibility that one of my younger...
Looks like I'm set. Now to begin acquiring the various pieces and parts. If anyone is interested, I'll post pics of the Enfield after I pick it up tomorrow. Not only do I need to load ammo for it,...
Thank you for the Makarov die recommendation. The link that the gentleman provided to the LEE factory sales site has decided it for me. I haven't found any other prices on presses that even come...
Thank you for the recommendation on the loader. That is also the best price that I've found on a loader, yet. I'm planning on using Matt's Bullets. I looked on Google for hours for the correct...

I have used forums for years, but this is the first time that I have ever received this much help, on ANY forum, EVER. I sincerely want to thank all of you.
I had not realized that detonating a...
Gentleman, thank you both for the excellent information. I see what you mean about what I'm proposing to do not being so logical. I'll tell you where my frame of mind is. The gun is an Enfield...
Whenever I've pulled bullets and re-measured the powder they were always from the same lot, and the same manufacturer. I would never do that with random surplus ammunition. I am aware that...
Ok, I'm a complete newbie when it comes to tinkering with handgun ammunition. I routinely pull my bullets for my military surplus rifles in batches of five, equally distribute the powder, and reseat...
