The front sight is fine. The barrel is not screwed in enough to make the top bbl flat align with the center of the receiver ring. If I can get it in a couple of degrees more, all will be well. What...

Several months back I worried all of you for info on this procedure, and I thank you for all the excellent advice. Finally got my Wheeler bbl vice mounted on a steel table, and my action wrench made...

GREAT advise, thanks all. I will try the GENTLE tightning first. If no dice, I'll try the loosening/ tightning routine. My neighbor has a large Crescent wrench (mine is only a tiny 14" job) with...

Gents, I'm back. Mounted the fool proof receiver sight and had to move it almost all the way to the right to get on at 100 yds. Too much for me. Just bought a Wheeler Barrel vise on Fleabay for...

THANKS Nhrifle and Mattorgan,
Excellent advice, but I shot it today for the first time, 150 Lee rnfp/28 gr. 4064 @ 25 yds. It shot 1 " low with the rear sight on the last high notch, while 3...

THANKS NHRIFLE,
The barrel has not loosened since the extractor slot on bbl and receiver are still perfectly aligned. The top flat is only 1 or 2 degrees off, not much, just enough to be...

Hello Gents,
Have a 99% finish Winchester 94 1967 Canadian centeniel issue with the 26" octagon bbl. I want to make a cast boolit shooter out of it, naturally. The top bbl flat is slightly to...

Gents,

I've been shooting 5.5 gr. HS-6 (Win 540) behind a plain base 115 gr. .313 bullseye bullet co. slug. No 2400 available in this area. All seems to be fine, but I don't have a Powley...

I'm out of 4759, and can't find anymore locally. 10 grains behind a pb 115 gr. gave me a good 1450 fps. All other powders I have are fast or slow, except for the 540 and AA no. 7 I still have. I have...

THANKS for the replys gents. I'll try the pistol primers next reload session. Good Idea, Just might work. Ditto on the oxygen depletion. Our rifle team coach, in college, made us take three breaths....

This sweet little 24" octagon barreled 32-20 Model 1892 Winchester has always been a non-trader. Perish the thought. Went to my Lyman 41 to find a pet load of 10 gr. 4759 behind a .313 PB 115 gr....

In the HOLY NAME of JESUS, we pray this matter will be resolved with no harm to you or yours. AMEN!!!!

Glad your son's OK. Children are such a blessing from THE LORD.

GOOD CHEER,

Glad to see someone is working on the problem of shooting conicals in a BP revolver. I've got an 1858 Pietta just like yours, so am interested in your experimenting. Got my first...

Best; My OM SBH with 6.5 gr Clays behind a 250 Keith @ 50 yds. (slow, but sure).

Worst; My .25 auto Bernardelli. I can graze Coke cans @ 100, but just can't seem to get a solid hit. ;-) (don't...

Try seating an unsized boolit in a primerless neck sized, and prepped, case to see if it seats in your chamber without excess bolt pressure. Find out what size boolit your chamber will take when you...

THANKS John,

I too had a chamber reamer with a long forcing cone from Brownells. Thought about going out to 2 3/4". Put the reamer up alongside the barrels in the correct position and said,...

ELECTROPLATING????????? Now that sounds reasonable. THANKS Bret 4207.

Gents,

I am not going to lengthen the chambers 1/8" because the ancient steel there is thin enough, plus the new reamer may cut deeper forcing cones than is safe to have, after looking at the...

THANKS all, especially Elk Hunter. Believe I'll go with the shim stock trick for now. Sounds good to me. :D The larger hinge pin is best but I'll surely alter the cosmetics of the area around the pin...

It's my dads 'ol circa 1910 Hopkins & Allen 12 ga. Double. 2 5/8" chambers, so I cut off 1/8" from the hull and load 6500 psI loads 7/8 oz shot, to keep it safe nowadays. As a dumb kid 50 years ago I...

My .45 1911 is a parts gun I assembled on an aluminum AMT frame. WW2 Ithaca slide, Wilson FP, with more WW2 parts everywhere. Lovingly referred to by me and my buds as "The Junkyard Dog". Anywhoo,...

I've used Bushnells for years with few problems. BTW, You can still pick up a decent 3X9 Denver Redfield for $100, or less, plus shipping on Fleabay. Just wait until hunting season is over. :wink:My...

I'm working on a first model BAR (no, not the 1918 version:-P) that has extraction, ejection problems, or both. After firing, the bolt has gone far enough back to catch the next round in the...

WELCOME, we need all the gunsmiths we can git!!!!!!! Best site on the web. Lots of great folks here. Mack :cbpour:
