I'll take one of the two cavity molds in .457 gregcrockett [at] hotmail <dot> com

Put me down for a 4 cavity as above. The one cavity mold I have been using is way too slow.

From around 1943 till about 1950? H&R made a semi-auto .45 acp called the Model 60. They are now kind of hard to find. But some guys have used SMG parts kits to construct semi-auto carbines in...

The lower two revolvers are Belgian made and have Dutch police property markings. The one with the big lever on the side is a prison issued revolver and the other is regular police revolver.

I have a few Dutch arms chambered for the 9.4 but never looked into loading ammo for them. The KNIL looks like **** but the trigger pull is smooth and the bore looks good.

The Dutch service revolvers are rather interesting. Have you loaded any ammo for them?

I have often wondered how it was that Rollin White managed to obtain and then hang onto his U.S. patent in spite of Lefaucheux's bored through cylinder. The Frenchman was way ahead of his time in...

Twain's firearm observations in Roughing It are a hoot. His comments about the Allen pepperbox are also extremely funny. On the other hand, having fired several S&W No.1 .22 tipup revolvers I found...

Thank you for your responses:

jugulater: I greatly appreciate the warning. I had not thought about the hazards of laughing so hard I could not breathe because of the poor performance of 7mm...

Jugulator: The 7mm pinfire cartridges usualy had hollow base bullets. At some point I'd like to make some 7mm ammo but for now I'm working on 12mm rounds.

Mike: The steel case will hold about...

On page 210 of Bruce and Reinhart's WEBLEY REVOLVERS, (Stocker-Schmidt 1988) there is a Mark VI Webley, No. 348229 which was proof tested to shoot .45 ACP in 1975 in the Birmingham Proof House and...

As time permits, I have been making various forms of pinfire ammo. Experimenting to see what might be the least time consuming form of construction, reliability and so forth. In the old days there...

It would be nice to see some old school investigative journalists get into the ammo shortage b.s.

Collectors call these Zulu shotguns. They started out as muzzle loading French muskets which were converted to shoot cartridges using the French Snyder conversion mechanism, much like the British...

Thank you for the tips. I liked the tig for jewelry work, but it appears to be a little more costly than I can swing right now. The Miller looks good. I'll see what I can find.

My first 1911 was purchased from an old WWI vet who brought it home from the trenches of France. It was well used but still a fine shooter.

The pistol came with a bunch of WWI vintage mags (the...

For a long time I have been in need of welding tools for gunsmithing. Such as, welding broken spurs on hammers, building up parts for repair of sear notches, etc and so forth.

It has been...

I have a few loaded rounds of U.S. Govt. loaded Schofield which date from the 1880's but no loose boolits.

The idea of a No. 1 or No. 4 Enfield in 45-70 sounds good to me. Other than a new barrel, would it be necessary to modify the bolt head or the magazine?

The 07 Dreyse shoots alot better than you might think given it's odd appearance. I have had two of them and I found them to be reliable.

Regarding the M6 in 22 Hornet over 410. What sort of reputation do these have as to accuracy, and reliability?

If anyone reloads .22 Hornet for use in an M6, what loads give the best results? ...

The .455 Fosbery is No1.

(That other gun, the Mateba 6 Unica, is **** compared with the Fosbery but I sort of like it...

It seems like alot of work to mess up a good military issue pistol. As a collector, I'm in favor of leaving them in as-issued condition. There are enough old Webley, Colt and S&W .38's around for...

Such a great website this is, with lots of knowledgeable people.

You are correct, it is a six sided shaft and not five. Thank you for the many tips and advise.

I placed my order last week...
