Nice! :bigsmyl2: And there is no better way to clean those goats than with a game hoist like you have. There is nothing worse than cleaning an animal on the ground with a stiff Wyoming breeze...

John, I'm going to have try this out and see if I'm in the ballpark. I'm going to have to find a new 30-30 round somewhere, everything I have is a reload.

Bill, I could tell he was a straight up guy on the phone. I'm just waiting for my check to clear and for him to get home from vacation. I can't wait to install new front sight.

FYI - I got the old dove tail out today. I had to make my own hollow ground screwdriver to fit the set screw. Of course, i think it helped to have soaked for a week with a penetrating oil. I also...

Mooseman - Posting pics, idk, that sounds pretty technical, but maybe, by the time I get the sight installed, i can figure that out.

Bob208 - Truth be told, I fashioned a blade from two dimes...

KirkD and Mooseman, you guys are starting to scare me! I'm almost afraid to think about taking it hunting. I do find it amazing, that, after over 100 years, the thing still works. I do find your...

Mooseman,
What would you do with the front sight blade and the elevator missing? Are there OEM blades and elevators available, if so, where can you find them? Are all replacement blades going to...

6.5 mike - Haven't heard of them, but I'll take a look. Thanks

Boerrancher - Numrich carries the elevator for the rear sight, but I think I want to stick with just the peep sight. They didn't have any front sights. I have found a website in the past that lists...

Runfiverrun, If I understand correctly then, this is a low serial number gun?? I will have a gunsmith check the head space on it. And I'll look up Numrich and see what I can find. Thanks.

I have an old Winchester lever rifle 26" octagon , barrel, full length magazine, marked 30 WCF, Serial number 83494, for smokeless powder. Where can I find the model # for it? I think it is a Model...

Perfessor - Now I have to go get my lube-a-matic out and figure where these holes are and start measuring things. Thanks.

Reminds me of making jerky, is the pepper used to keep the flies off? :) I'd have a hard time trying to keep from chewing on it!

Back to serious... Burns - 1) cold water/ice for a couple hours to...

Is there any way to determine what the alloy is with out knowing what the source is? I have a mix of ingots, some WW, some range scrap, some unknown; should I buy an old cast iron kettle and melt...

Phew!!! I was worried I wouldn't be able to get them for the old sizer. Thanks, I appreciate the help.

I have an old RCBS Lube-a-matic, probably 30 years old and does anyone know if the top punch and sizer for the RCBS Lube-a-matic II will fit and work in my old sizer? Thanks.

I gave up on hunting deer here in CA, too many nuts in the woods and not enough deer, but I have pigs year round on some private land. I start planning and saving for my out of state antelope hunt...

I've been casting bullets on and off for over 35 years in limited amounts, I've never seen the tinsel fairy and now have no desire to have a visit. I would have to consider myself just dumb and...

Ahhh, thank you! Then, I guess the next step will be to determine the hardness of my lead and then slug the bore of the rifle to determine the correct diameter for the mold. I have to keep reading...

I'm looking at buying a custom mold for 30-30 bullet and the maker wants to know what mix I am going to be using. Most of what I have is scavenged from the range. What difference does it make in...
