I use sections for 2x10 lumber with 4 holes to anchor them to my bench and whatever holes or studs are need to attach the tool. I used a template to make sure the holes in all the plates and the...
I'd be interested in it for a reasonable price, PM me if you are interested.

I am probably local. Would you mind PMing me with the location of the LGS?
As mentioned bobbing the hammer can up the chances of getting a light strike. I had a snub nose revolver tuned by a VERY talented smith, who I recently realized posts here occasionally, and he bobed...

My first conversion was 223 to 7TCU, it is hard to believe but that was almost 30 years ago... I am clearly going to run out of time before I run out of projects.

Anyone know where in the US to get a front barrel band / bayonet mount and mid barrel band for a ross rifle? They do not have to be original, reproductions would be ok.
