Joel Chavez, That's the attitude I have as well.

Thanks Pressman for clarifying that. In this case, it's not a collectable. Just a modern scale that has paint rubbed off on a couple corners.

Outpost 75. That's really interesting to me. Is that built on an older Harrington and Richardson shotgun?

Gentlemen,
I bought a Lee Classic Turret press from Midway this past week and am in the market for extra turrets. I load 222, 30-30, 6.5x55, 300 Savage, 300 H&H and 38 Special.
If you want to sell,...

Thanks AZ Pete. That does help.

Jimkim, Thanks for the tip. Redding green isn't always the same shade either. It is about the same color as RCBS. Safety green looks pretty close to me. Next time I go to town, I'll see if it's in...

BCS is a great resource where I live. 35 minutes away from a hardware store and lots of bcs material close to hand.

RustyReel, That's just what I needed. Just a few purchases to make and I'll give it a go. Looks like I owe Larry a beer.

RustyReel, Thanks for the heads up. I'll check it out right now.

Mozeppa, thanks for going to the trouble to share the story and photo. Sweet looking pistol!

Blanket, that right there made my day!

Pietro, I was thinking about your idea of using filler material to correct the headspace. Would JB Weld be up to the task or is there something else you would recommend?

Pietro, this barrel is for a 219B rifle that I have. Not seeing much available for sale with the correct cocking mechanism for that gun, so I'm gambling that I can make this work, rather than return...

Arkansas Packrat, was yours a Utica 220 barrel or one of the later 220-L barrels?

I don't have a lathe, so would either have to pay someone to do it or tackle it with a file. I'm having so much...

That's a clean looking specimen you got there Pietro. Good to hear more positive feedback on these little pistols. I have a S&W Airweight that is generally my pocket gun, but the little Browning is...

Yes, after trying looking at the barrel from all angles and taking comparative measurements against the original barrel, I did put a square on the breech end and could not believe what I was seeing....

I'll have to trim the extractor as well. I assume the extractor would then have to be re-hardened?

That right there is probably the simplest solution. It would be nice to have the original crinkly paint, but for my purposes, should be fine. Next time I'm in town, I'll see what they have in stock....

Just picked up an old Redding #2 scale that's a bit homely due to loss of paint. Anyone know of a source for original paint?

It's out of square bottom to top, that is, the gap is at the top when checked with a square.

I bought it about a year ago for a 219b. Tried to fit it in the rifle and put it away when it didn't fit easily, as I had other projects going at the time. Now I'm ready to work on it. Put a square...

Pietro, do you see that kind of defect very often? it was out about 3/32".

That's good to hear. First time owning one or even firing one. Surprisingly accurate.

I bought a Savage 220 L-D barrel in 16 gauge (ebay) to mate with a Savage 219. The breech end of the barrel is out of square and would need to be trued in order for the barrel to fit. Are the 220...

Speed wrench, I like that. I worked on a ranch in Montana many years ago in my late teens. The foreman called them "clubs". If something wouldn't break free he'd say "bring me a bigger club"
