So 5 1/2 years since the last reply here. Many years ago, when I bought a WinchestercModel 70 in .222, I had no loading gear, a friend talked me in to a Lee Hand Loader, a 'Whack-o-Matic' as one...

Thanks guys. I'll be using wheel weight lead(from a long time ago, they are lead) for the smokeless loads and pure lead for bp loads.

My Lubrisizer is an OLD Lyman 45, Lyman orange, my Dad bought it used when he came home from Korea; he and his cousin cast a lot of bullets and ran them through that little unit. Still works good, no...

So some time back, 2-3 years, if my memory serves me correctly, I bought a set of double-cavity Lyman moulds, .452" is what I ordered. Got them in the mail, oiled them up and put them away. Today, I...

Nice! What is that scope mounted on? My roller is in at Corlane Sports in Dawson Creek B.C. getting the barrel put on, and dovetail for front sight. Hope to have it back in a couple o weeks... :-)

Now that is an interesting bit of info; I'll be filing that away for future project material...

Back at last, been hiding in the shop rebuilding the engine in my Jeep. Dropped my barrelled action and Green Mountain barrel off a Corlane Sports, Dawson Creek, B.C. today to get the barrel...

Thank you, gentlemen, my thoughts too were along those lines; bad ju-ju and a health hazard for both gun and trigger-man. Thanks for clarifying the hazards. Now to report to the loading bench and...

Okay, a question for all you folks that know what they are doing. I have a .45 colt, 1873SAA by Pietta., Decided to start loading for it, cast bullets(what else, lol) and need a question or two...

I have yet to pull the barrel, but is supposed to be(so I've been told and read, is 12 tpi, square. But, I watched a video the other night,(and can't find it now, to post here) and the guy was...

Re-barreling a Remington roller, Danish model..

I use a 2"x28" vertical belt sander, no jig, and usually grind with the pad on. I start with a couple of layers of blue tape, then a couple layers of green tape, then white masking tape. 120 grit...

I would love to have a Hepburn in my toy box. But, never had the opportunity to buy but one, and he wasn't in a 'dealing' mood. So, one Highwall, 1 roller,(and one still needing to be re-barreled)...

I am on the hunt for a "square thread" thread pitch gauge. Anyone know where I can find one? All I can find is Whitworth, Metric, and SAE gauges. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance;...

Nice rifle, looks like a brute for weight!

Wow, nice. Nice wood on it too, nice grain.

I'll have to wait until I cut the block down to rough size and see how soft it actually is; pretty good chance it won't work for a stock. might have to use the last of my walnut....time to find some...

Wow, lots of good intel, guys, much appreciated. The front edge of the action. Is no sharp cornered, it is radiused, about 1". I had a re chambered .50-70, real nice action, good barrel, I let it go....

I picked my B.C. Up for $390.00, with 50 rounds of factory down the pipe. It's a great shooter, but I found I could only get about 150 yards with the rear sight as high as it could go. So, bought...

John, what are your thoughts on machining the face of the receiver back to eliminate the radiused corner on the top of the receiver? It's about .125 that would be taken off. My only reason would be...

I was thinking about that, but due to the age of this roller was thinking of leaving the military profile, rather the cutting the flats on the action. The more meat there the better....get it too...

Nice pics of the Sharps, btw, Nobade. They about make me weak in the knees just looking at them....

The Sharps pic is kind of what I was thinking. The other option I have seen is machining the face of the action back past the radius on the shoulder which is about .125. The octagon barrel would butt...

Howdy all, I've been a member here for a year or so, just kind of hanging in the shadows and enjoying the site. As a big fan of the .45-70 round, and rifles chambered in such, I decided it is time to...

I installed a Lyman #2 tang sight on my 1895 CB with good results. The bolt clears it, (just) it works well, don't know how far out it can reach, as I haven't tried it much, (maybe this weekend) but...
