Lots of good comments above.
Here are mine.
I have/had all three.

The Nagant.
Old design, old steel.
Be wary of getting one which has been re-chambered.
Almost all have been re-arseneled.

There is a guy at another site boosting the power of the little BB guns.
Looks like an easy project.

I recently got one in nice condition.
Since I already have a HF 6x19, I know how useful one this size can be.
The more accessories you can get in the deal, the better that price becomes.

A while back I came across a Stevens Tip-up pistol in .25 rimfire.
The price was good since the ammo is no longer available.

However, the smart cookies on this site have addressed that little...

Any of you who happen to have a lead pot and a casting thermometer can do the second part of FrankG's procedure by dunking the spring in the lead when the temp is correct and quickly transferring it...

Is the lifter coming up?
Maybe the spring is not hooked under it?
Not sure if I understand the problem.

There is an awful amount of info about feed problems in the RFC site.

That is a Savage 64.
The clips are either pot metal or aluminum.
Either way, some soft metal.
Look up the Savage 64. You should find plenty of info under that model.

I broke one in aluminum.
Went to to Harbor Freight and bought this:

One of the great things about the Crossmans is that they all use almost exactly the same internals.
I recently rebuilt a 788 for my grandson that I had bought used for my son decades ago.

Put the fireproof box or wall on the outside of the blocks to protect them from the fire.
I would use concrete blocks, not cinder blocks.

A Hardi board wall is rated for 2 hours:...

I don't think epoxy is strong enough to keep the shim stock from bending down and pushing the epoxy plug out, but if you tapped the hole and screwed in a steel plug from the bottom, the shim would be...

I have been doing this for years now.

There are only two potential problems I can think of:
1- The fouling buildup in the front of the chamber, which can easily be dealt with by cleaning as you...

I thought surely SPS would be able to help.

The Contender has a removable firing pin bushing.
Have you tried a new barrel with it out?
I have heard that the firing pin bushings were...

I have a Miroku Zouave and it has a terrible barrel. The rifling is shallow and the reamer marks are pronounced.
I bought it cheap and planned to either have the barrel reamed to smooth bore or...

Since there has been no other response to your query, I may offer a little help.
I had reason to measure the screws in a Pietta 1858 Remington recently.
The hammer is 5mm dia .80 pitch...

Cabelas has them on sale right now for 689.
They show "in stock".

A shooting buddy has one and likes it.

I have a mini-mill and can offer some help.
The previous suggestions are pretty much spot-on.

The t-nuts in mine measure 11.87 mm and the table slots measure 11.97.
The holes in them have 10 mm...

Please don't take this as criticism, but I had to pass this on to you.

I remember reading about this "wobble" thing there sometime in the past, so I started digging and discovered that our...

Just go to the GBO forums and sell the .243 barrel on the H&R classified.
This will recoup some of your cost.
It may be useful for making your own stub barrel as well.

I always thought it was because of the primitive tools used by most makers in the old days.
It is far easier to file a smooth and straight flat with a file you made this morning than turn a uniform...

I use ammo cans.
.30 and .50 cal.
I write on the can what is in it on a paper label.
I number the cans and have a list by number in a notebook of what is in each can.
The cans are mostly in a big...

I have owned and used one since the mid 1980's. I think it was a Chron-tech.
Recently got an F1 to replace it.

I use it for everything: reloads, muzzleloaders, air-guns and rimfires.

Thanks for the feedback.
I think the custom shop is not the same as "repair" at TC.
You could give them a call and discuss the problem with them.
I have found that calling early in...

I think we are a trifle confused as to which frame is the "old" and which is the "new".

As I read it, the G2 works fine with all barrels and the Contender does not.
If this is so, then check that...
