Other than trigger mod the rifle is a stock 75 target. Lyman sights. Factory magazine. It fires as is. I think it has been modified too much with milling to return to factory. The 52 housing is...

Just bought a 75 on GB. Was advertised as sporterized and missing some parts so I got it cheap. I am not familiar with the 75 but it looked straight forward to disassemble. After some struggle I...

Blue dot because it works great in 9mm too.
Depends on the situation too. When in the academy years ago I saw a video of a Texas state trooper attempting to arrest a suspect. Suspect spun around with a gun. A very short scuffle occurred. ...
Not hardly. I worked for many years in military and law enforcement. Been to more than a few shootings. My thinking was my service pistol was intended to buy me time and get back to my car where I...

The ROA is very strong, but the nipples on any percussion is the weak spot. Those are small diameter threads and will only hold so much pressure safely. Getting rid of nipples and having only a...

seems like on the last Howell conversion cylinder I had there was no provision to rest the hammer between cylinders and it was advised against strongly in the instructions.

I have a 94 that began life as a 30-30 and was rebored to 38-55 by JES.
The bullet is a Lee 255 grain cast.

I think I found the problem. This is an rcbs x-die. I am sure the mandrel was not adjusted properly as I did not adjust it at all. I put the die in the press like any other die. My guess is the...

I was using a lot of lube. I ran my fingers through the imperial on every single case. Usually I only have to put imperial on my fingers every 3 cases or so. Not on this brass. It is definitely...

I am using once fired LC 7.62 brass. It was deprimed with a Lee universal and then pin tumbled.
To resize I was using a RCBS small base die and imperial sizing lube. I was meeting firm...

Not sure if this is right forum, but here goes. I deprimed my LC brass and ss pin tumbled it. Cases were then trimmed. I swaged the primer pockets with the RCBS tool. I then used the Lyman case...

After a lot of research I settled on a mahindra last month. So far I like it.

I have one. Mine is a .318 bore. I would think 8x57 dies could be used but the base would not get resized. Probably fine in a bolt gun. Assuming you have the more common .323 bore.

I have never used a bench to get to accuracy, but I do know i have no problem hitting targets with it. I doubt the 38-55 is moa. maybe 2 or 3 moa. For a lever gun with cast loads, I think thats...

I have a Win 94 in 38-55 and a 1895 in 405 win, both bored by JES. Work is flawless. Accuracy is superb.

At 10s can be picky about gas, especially with shorter barrels. An adjustable gas block solves the problem. Also note too much gas can mimic too little gas.

Nothing, I mean nothing, can match ss pin wet tumbling. I took some 60 year old m1 carbine brass to shiny new in no time.
