Agreed! I just got a GP100 cylinder back from him last week. It was leading badly because the mouths were too tight. He fixed that problem!

The shims tighten up the tolerances between parts. When assembled slide an automotive feeler guage between the parts to see how much play you have and divide it by two, that will show you the size of...
I'm glad now that I didn't sell it. I was prepared to take it to the LGS and put it on consignment. I figured I could get at least $500 for it to put to another gun. Over the years I'd been shooting...
I've had this pistol for about 10 years, and I did hate it! The trigger was horrible! Double action was hard and single action was off the chart. I don't have a trigger pull gauge but suffice it to...

I got mine installed and have to say I'm impressed with the workmanship. It'll be a bit before I can test it out. I'm going to try it with FFF Goex, Pyrodex and 777. If it produced a flash like that...

I got mine in and installed on my Pedersoli .45. I'm impressed with the workmanship. I've got 4lbs. of 3f coming and can't wait to try it out. It gets good reviews everywhere. Hopefully this week!

I ordered one today and already got a shipping notice so I'll be able to try it out soon. I appreciate the tips. I was tickled to get these primers and be able to use them since caps are kinda scarce...

Thank you for the tips. I can see that the hotter blast from the #209 would force the PRB forward. I'm asking about these because a friend gave me 1300 #209 primers and my first thought was that I'd...

Thanks for the tips! I guessed they'd burn hotter than regular caps. When I get mine in I'll drop the load a few grains to see how my rifle performs. Last outing I tried 777 for the first time and...

I didn't know you could get loaders for them. That would sure make them more attractive! The ones I'm looking at are from Warren Customs as well.

Yesterday I was given 1300 #209 shotgun primers! Since I don't load for shotgun I am thinking about purchasing a Mag spark nipple for my TC muzzies to put them to good use. Can anyone give any...

I've never tried Evaporust, I'll give it a try. I did use an ultrasonic cleaner on it but that didn't do I except boil out crud.

I recently acquired a pre 68 Mossberg 500AT that was left neglected in a hoarders home. It has gotten wet and of course rusted. I was able to clean the barrel and innerds but have a problem with the...

Thanks for the input guys. Sounds like all I need to do is freshen my solution. Easier done!

Appreciate the input, sounds like it's still good! I've heard of degreasing steel wool and adding a bit to the solution, any thoughts on that?

I have a batch of Lauer parkerizing solution that I haven't used in a year or so. It's been stored in a sealed milk jug away from sunlight. I'm wondering if it's still good, and if there is a way to...

Update again. I got it cleaned and back together. It was nasty, but cleaned up pretty well. The barrel is pitted, but I'm going to use some JB bore paste in it to smooth it out. Wish I didn't have to...

I got the nipples out! Bought a new 3/16 socket and used a cut off wheel in a dremmel to cut slots to fit the nipples and they screwed right out! I chucked a stainless .45 chamber brush in my drill...

I ordered a wrench and new nipples from Track so I'll see in a couple of days if I can get the nipples out. I've been spraying with PB a couple times a day and night have to put some heat on them to...

I checked out Tracks site last night and they do have all I need to get it running. Appreciate the loading info as I've read different data on what it will run good with. I'll start on the light side...

Looks like Track of the Wolf is the place to shop. Thank you for the info.

I traded for an SM Colt Walker today and in taking it apart to clean and inspect I ran into a snag. I can't get the nipples out! I have a cut down socket that I use on my Navy but it won't fit the...

Appreciate the direction! I should have thought of them, they have everything.
