Thanks fellas, I will try his email, I hope all is well.
Took a half dozen of my S&W .38's out years ago, 6", 4", 3", 1-7/8". best groups of the day with the 1-7/8" Chiefs special. Just one of those days, and not how it usually works.
Forum: Cast Boolits
Mostly what I have heard.. A few reported success, so I thought I might give it a whirl. If it was a problem child, i was going to chuck it in the mill and see if I could improve upon the design,...

Hello all, I am hoping someone can tell me what the LEE 230 grain 30 cal mold commonly used for the 300 Blackout measures on the nose, or bore riding section? I have just started powder coating for...

If and when PSA ever ships the lower to go with my 8.5" upper, I will for sure be trying cast in mine. I know they are all different, but what size cast are you gents usually running?
Forum: Military Rifles
As the OP, I measured the firearm in question, it is 25" WITHOUT the folding adapter, just the way I bought it, so under the 26" limit for rifles. Since it is already under 26", (doesn't apply to...
If you aren't familiar with the term "chain fire" that onelight mentions, it's when the fire from one cylinder lights off the charges in adjacent chambers. One of the most common causes is undersize...

I guess what confuses me is if it is sold as a PISTOL, what the 26" OAL has to do with it, as practically all pistols are already shorter than that. I can see if the folding adapter makes a RIFLE...
Forum: Military Rifles
Well, hmmm. I've read the letter and watched a video or two attempting to explain it, and it was about as clear as most ATF rulings to me. Is there even an OAL for pistols, or just these AR/AK...
Forum: Military Rifles
I've never really been into AR's, but thought a short 300 BO with a brace would make a dandy "car" gun. My understanding is it is illegal to install a vertical forward grip, (didn't intend to...
One of the sideplate screws is meant to be flat, but not boogered up of course. As for the front sight, I would spray around it well with carb or brake clean and blow it out well with compressed air...

As I recall with mine, there is a notch in the hammer, and the "nose" for lack of a better word was too long and contacted the frame before it made hard enough contact with the firing pin. I reduced...
I'll see if I can find any cast, I had Erik Ohlen do one for me years ago. I never had great luck with expansion at 800 fps. or so, as I had it done with the intentions of using it in 45 ACP. The...
Forum: Rimfire Area
Thats a bit more than the .0005" per side (half of the .001" diffrence). I am quite sure they are left that sloppy for a reason. Same reason the old H&R and Iver Johnsons were "generous" with their...

Well, dies and sizer came in. I honed the sizer to .383", and opened a spare 375 Win seating die up to accept the larger boolits. The welded/turned expander works slick, and leaves me with .003"...

Looks like $600 worth of fun all day long :) The bore on mine is "generous" and looks like an old muddy road. Shoots under 1" at 50 yds. with very little load development though. Have fun!
I BELIEVE all .44 mags received a steel grip frame. The only aluminum ones I ever saw were .357 and 45 Colt.
Forum: Single Shot Guns
I don't think you will get splits, but I do think a bulge is likely. Modifying the reamer is a thought, but makes it a one off reamer at that point.
Forum: Single Shot Guns
Oh, I know, and took care of that right off when I got the LEE mold. I actually got a little Lap Happy and it ended up making .384" boolits. Even with .002" over groove boolits, 210 grains showed...
Forum: Single Shot Guns
Weighing under 6#, even 10 grains of Unique kicks a little bit, making it a fun rifle to shoot. It shoots a little high, which may change as I tune it in, but the sights are thankfully pretty well...
