Or buy one on ebay for 5 bucks....

I vote for a Uberti High Wall in .38-55. Not too punishing for plinking and casual shooting and an excellent hunting round. Ain't no slouch for target work either.

Find an older Sheridan Blue Streak or Silver Streak and you will have one of the best pellet rifles ever made.

My drop tube is a piece of 3/8 stainless tubing. I flared the bottom so that it sits atop the shell. The stand is made of oak and the bottom piece has a blind 1" hole. I turn brass bushings that sit...

Transient Global Amnesia

This happened to me. Early one winter morning I was in the kitchen preparing breakfast when the power went off. It was still dark outside so I went back to bed. The next...

I had an original. To heavy, to slow, and adjustment would change. Traded them for a set of Saeco handles and still think I got the better deal.

Thanks for all the replies. I will list it tomorrow.

Guys I've decided to sell my Contender and have no idea as to the value. I intend to list it in the "swappin & sellin" forum and would like some input on its worth. It is a second generation frame...

Check out rust blueing. Fairly easy to do with minimal equipment and investment.

Like most everything else value is dependent on condition. I recently bought a late '50's Blue streak for $180 that is in excellent condition. The models that were made by Sheridan in Racine, Wis....

I'm not real sure about the later models when Benjamin and Crossman owned the Sheridan name but the earlier models should be stored uncocked with 2 or 3 pumps to prolong the life of the seals. If you...

I should add that there is not much metal between the channel and the hole for the striker in the block. Removing metal there will substantially weaken the block. Go over to the ASSRA forum and pose...

Something that no one has mentioned is that the length of the straight sided .357 Max cartridge precludes its chambering in the Cadet. I have one myself and a Max case will not "make the turn". I...

I have a Sea Girt Press and a set of dies for making .45 caliber bullets for a .45-70. I'm thinking of selling it as, because of medical reasons, I can no longer shoot heavy recoiling rifles. Is...

Soft lead melted in something like a large jar lid makes a wonderful pad for punching wads. When it gets pretty chewed up just run your propane torch over it for a new surface. I make my own drill...

Good morning Wiljen. Please put me down for four (4) white zoomies all with batteries and chargers and one zoomie sans batteries and charger. I will transfer $113.00 to your PayPal account as soon as...

To anneal the steel it needs to cool very slowly. Heat the part cherry red and bury in fine wood ashes or lime. It will take a long time to cool. The file should be ground very smooth where the bend...

Hold on to those barrel sight screws they are rare. I've made a few and that ain't no fun.

There is an original sight protector that slips over the barrel to form a "tunnel" for the front sight. I bought one from Numrich Arms a few years ago but I just checked and they no longer...

134755134757What you need is a BSA No. 8. It fits the Cadet and looks really nice on one. It has an adjustable aperture eye disc also. Contact me if interested.

photos of the pots and ladles.133788133789One of the ladles is pressed from sheet steel. I will try to take individual pictures if any one is interested. I suppose I should post this in the...

I just got the pots and ladles last night and it's raining today. I'll have photos as soon as I can. I may take a quick group shot after a while and post it. Don't want to get my camera wet.

I will try to go get the pots and ladles today and will post photos.

I have access to some cast iron lead pots and ladles that belonged to a friend that passed on. His family was in the plumbing business. These pots as are the ladles are various sizes. The pots range...

I've one of them that I don't use. I could be talked out of it pretty easy.
