Thanks, I'm trying to find a rifle stock for a first gen Contender but the best looking ones are for the G2.
Forum: Single Shot Guns
Do the Contender stocks interchange between G1 and G2?

I have a 12 VHS set of How to Run a Lathe (gunsmithing) and would trade them to someone to record them to DVD for me. Let me know if you want to
give it a go and you have the equipment to do so!...

My 34-1 gets the nod here, I did put a set of larger grips on it for better control.
Grandad had a Colt revolver of some sort that was his " If I cant hit it with this it"s a bad shooting day" and would try another day. If he could hit it with the Colt the other pistol was gone.

Not the intel you are looking for but I wonder if you could use a boolit? Maybe a .40 or .44cal and use the wad as a sabot.

Wise choice! That mold should keep you well supplied in 9mm. You might want to read some of the stickies on mold prepping for some great precast mold tune ups.
