Remington 510. Bought it about 3 years ago for $135. Boy does it shoot. Barrel markings indicate it was made in 1940, I wish it could talk. I wanted it as a companion to the 512 that my folks...

If you are ever in downtown Dover, New Hampshire, walk into Harvey's and order the sausage biscuits and gravy. You won't regret it. It's like stepping back into Mom's kitchen. I always figured...
My son has one that he purchased on his 21st birthday 8 years ago. He has had some New Hampshire winter feeding issues with light loads that work fine in the summertime. He uses Tite Group,...

RCBS #3 JR that I purchased new in 1974 for around $60. My records of primer purchases say I load around 1000 rounds per year. 2018 - 1974 X 1000 = 44,000 rounds loaded. Still going strong.
I use it for light target loads. With the Lyman 452460 my charge is 1 grain below the starting load. It is very accurate and mild shooting in my SIG P220 and my Ruger/Lipsey's flattop. Only...
I picked up a 32 mag. Single Six "Baby Vaquero" on the clearance rack at the lgs, new old stock, about 2 years after Ruger stopped making them. From a decent rest I don't have any trouble hitting...

My wife and I were individually giving 10% before we started dating, and we have continued. That's 10% before taxes (do you want God to bless you before or after taxes?). With the other things to...
I love single action Rugers, have a whole closet full. I have seen this a few times, and have corrected it by a little re-work to the groove in the base pin. Look for burrs / drag marks &etc, and...

Let me join FISH4BUGS in inviting you to New Hampshire. We moved here in 1999 and have loved every minute of it. The kids were in middle school when we came, they are grown and gone now. They went...

I keep a few in the tin they come in and a full straight line capper in my shot pouch. Always turns out to be more than I need.
I work with an ex Ruger employee. I asked him about the chances of a 9mm cylinder from "Gunbroker" or e-bay fitting my .357 New Model Blackhawk. His response was they would "usually" fit. Buy it...

My "Cooey" is a Remington 510. Not so many Cooeys south of the 49th parallel. Saw it in the rack at the LGS. It said "Please take me home with you". It now has a place of honor among some newer...

I use home made Lee type push thru sizers. I pan lube, push the gas check on, then size.

Stainless steel has approximately 3 times the thermal expansion of carbon steel. Not a show stopper, but would have to be figured in.

I have replaced both the blade and the whole rear sight assembly. Not hard at all. Both are available from Midway or Brownells.

I dropped a box of .45's in the reloading room a while back. Only could find 49. The last one must be in the black hole with the back strap, round balls, chronograph......
I have been using standard primers in .44 mag. for 30+ years. From full house loads with 2400 and 4227 all the way down to mouse fart loads with Titegroup and Trail Boss. Never had a problem

I work for one of the big gun companies... Those of us who are range certified have our blood lead checked regularly. The airborne lead from primers seems to be a greater concern than what we...
Ash is a beautiful wood. The Mrs. has a rolling pin that my dad made for her as a wedding present. Not sure what he was thinking, but we just had our 33rd anniversary and she hasn't used it on me...
