I lost my BSM ribbon in my last move. Luckily I still have the orders, certificate, and it's on my DD214. I hope to find it someday in a random cardboard box in the garage or attic.

The Bronze Star Medal is not branch specific.
I'm a noob machinist but I bet I could figure that out. It will be a fun little lathe project.
Thanks, Dinny
The reamer cut my chamber like a hot knife through butter. It's sharp and the flutes are wide enough chips don't bind up.
My barrel is twisted 1:10".
Did you ever find a crimp die that worked...
I am refreshing an old thread now that I have stubbed a 30cal barrel onto my H&R and chambered it 30 Badger. I'm enjoying the past conversations and appreciate having this data available.
Thanks,...

Powdercoat your lead bullets with a copper or gold colored powder. :kidding::kidding:
Those Barnes 31112 bullets are solid shooters and excellent killers. I use LVR powder for them in my 35 Rem....

I killed bucks back in 2008 and 2009 with mine. 225gr Barnes XPB and 335gr Cast performance WFN did a number on them. The 45 Colt is an outstanding deer cartridge as long as one maintains their range.

Ever get down to Indy? I have more than I'll ever use.

Extractor or ejector? Barrel length and contour? Blued or stainless?
That's what I'm waiting for. It's so boring killing animals with the same old Hornady 180gr SSPB, 200gr Rem RNCL, and 180gr Speer HCFN bullets. ;)

Pure lead bullets were used effectively for a long, long time before any of us walked this planet. Let the weight and length of the bullet do their job and kill with authority - period, plain, and...

This reminds me of a movie quote, "Did you use enough dynamite there Butch?" Good shooting! I enjoyed the taste of the German Roe deer I shot years ago.
Thanks, Dinny

Anyone have one I can buy, rent, or borrow? If everything goes according to plan I'll only need to use it once.
Thanks, Dinny

I plan to thread both the stub and the new barrel and screw them together.

I may be sending you messages asking for advice. Seems you may have plowed this row before.

I'm a machinist student and have been given the green light to stub a H&R/NEF in class. I need your ratty old barrels. I'm not concerned with bore condition and I can clean up some surface rust if...

I traded for a smoothbore slug barrel for my Winchester 1200 many years ago. The barrel reads Winchester Model 1300 Ranger 20 GA 2 3/4 & 3" on the first line. Under that is Made in New Haven CONN USA...

Why do you apply more than one coating? Could it be applied using the dry tumble method?
Thanks, Dinny

I'd shoot PC last. It may help clean the barrel. I see no reason to clean in between the two types unless leading is present.

The last gun show I went to was quite literally THE LAST ONE I will ever go to. I asked one old codger if he had any more of the Hornady 100gr 6.5 SP bullets under the table. He said, no. Then he...

Phillips Machinist app works well for me.

The non-Accutrigger triggers have a rear screw that can be tightened down too much and the safety won't slide easily. I'd check that after a thorough cleaning.
Thanks, Dinny
