Thank you. That is what I was hoping for. I live in Canada and the north wind doth blow. My lube gets to hard and this would be much easier.

I have a remington cap and ball revolver. I want to use felt wads over the powder but they are not commercialy available (out of stock ect) Can I make them from felt insoles and if so, what, if any,...

I hope someone can help me on this,

I have a S&W model 686 and when I close the cylinder it hangs up on the forward part of the frame. Holding it back slightly it closes ok. I removed the little...

I have a 1911, commercial model, with a four number serial number. Made in 1912 or some books show 1913. I was only shooting cast in it and keeping the pressure down so it would cycle ok.

Thanks for your replies. I had figured that would be the answer I was seeking. While I have some 357 brass I also have two ice cream pails full of .38 brass from a police range from when they used...

I have a reproduction of a Winchester 1873 in .357 cal. The rifle will handle 38 spl but only single loading in the tubular magazine. This due to the length of the cartridge and the elevator. It is...

You are taking a risk on whether the internal mechanisms work. I know of two people who bought Mosin Nagant snipers with the scopes The optics were so-so but the p.o.i couldn't be adjusted 'it was as...

A few years ago I was given a Winchester model 1892 in 44wcf. It has a low serial number which shows it was made in 1893. It came with a handful of old black powder cartridges. I pulled one and the...

The snow is finaly starting to melt up at the range. Going to keep me busy for the next while picking up lead. (A lot of it mine) The latest rage among the youngers is shot guns with slugs or single...

My 1890 is well used. The inside of the barrel looks like a factory chimney with half the bricks missing. However, it is very accurate still. .22 longs are scarce though.

Perhaps someone out there can help me find the date of manufacture of a .22 rifle I have.

It is a model 1890 pump action in .22 long. Take down, octogon barrel. Serial number 320605. The rear...

Those rotary engines are amazing. I recall having read stories by the old pilots that they used castor oil for lubricant. They also remarked they didn't suffer from constipation as the result of oil...

I don't know how many times we have had to call a cease fire at the range because of deer walking out on the range. There is a lot of grass and clover on the range and they stop to feed on it. Usualy...

Most women are afraid of the deadly one-eyed trouser snake........

Years ago I used to use Marvelux for fluxing. I had just started a melt and used a spoon to mix it into the pot when I was called away for some reason or other. I shut the pot down and it waswn't...

It was -10C here today with light snow. No wind. Hot rifle barrel makes good hand
and finger warmer even with gloves on.

Here in Revelstoke we should have a foot or more of snow but have less than an inch. Lots on the mountains but high up. Boarders and sledders are happy though, Had three bear cubs in the yard two...

I have a Spanish made clone of a S&W 3rd model in .455 cal, It was made by Orbea Hermanos in Eibar Spain. It has British proof marks and appears to be well made.
It came with a leather military...

All of the above is true in one way or another. The most important question is "are they a reliable company who do honest work". Duct cleaning is one of the biggest home rip off rackets going. Unless...

If a man is walking alone in a forrest and he says something out loud and there is no woman to hear him, is he still wrong?

It is only -5 here with a little snow. It is never too hot or too cold to have a beer.

I have sold a few at a gun shop. The owner took them on a "consignment" basis. His profit was a persentage of the selling price, therefore, the more he sold them for, the more he made. In the end,...

I have a couple of CVA .45 cal muzzle loaders. I have always shot patched round ball in them. I recently aquired a single cavity RCBS 45-280-M mould. My question is: do I have to put anything into...
