This one is in good shape and I plan on shooting it with mild loads but I sure would like to get into it. I don't want to do a detailed disassembly of every part. Just want to open it up. I'll look...

I have that but it is not a disassembly procedure. It just shows the parts and their part numbers. I need to know in what order do I disassemble the gun. Thanks for getting back to me.

Hi all:
I just purchased an old Stevens Model 235 hammer shotgun. It is the later version. I couldn't pass up the deal. It is in pretty good condition and I was told that it shoots well. It had...
rintinglen;
You were right. Someone filed down the nose of the sear. I think it must have been intentional to make the gun fire double action only. Maybe an agency firearm that mandated double...
Thanks guys,
I thought they were double and single also. The gun was so nice I couldn't pass it up though. I think I may have to remove the hammer and see if the single action notch has been filed...
Hi people:
I recently acquired a Iver Johnson 3rd Model in .38 S&W. Blue steel, Serial #H4011. (would like DOM if possible) It has the coil hammer spring and the 4 pins on the frame and an...

This was a group buy several years ago. If anyone has a spare or wants to let go of theirs, I would be happy to take it off your hands. Thanks.

Now I have to go through a 5 gallon bucket of COWW that a purchased a while back from a local repair and tire shop. Years ago when I brought WWs home I didn't have to worry about sorting them. They...

Well I finally got it done. 200 pounds of boolits melted in two batches. It went very well. I covered the pot and left a small crack for any pressure to vent. As the boolits started to melt, the...

I didn't know that about how water reacts with lead. All good information. Thanks guys. I'll let you know how I make out.

I should receive my regulator tomorrow and will hopefully get started. I found a cast iron cover for the pot and was wondering if I use it should I leave a small opening to relieve some of the...

Well, I was going to melt down the boolits today but it seems I have a faulty regulator for my propane tank. Just ordered one but delivery will take a few days. I'll be back later with the results.
Forum: Lead and Lead Alloys
Thanks all. FYI, all of the boolits were lubed with Micro-lube.

I wasn't sure how many responses I would get on this odd topic. What I got was some good stuff. I have about 100 pounds of boolits in a cast iron pot that I will start heating tomorrow. I will have...

After 13 years I am finally going to try and melt about 200 pounds of cast and lubed boolits that went through the flood during Hurricane Katrina in New Orleans. They are very crusty and some have...
OK, here's the scoop.
I emailed the company that distributes them and received this very good explanation:
Hello Richard,
The picture which you are referring to is an older photo from a few...
I sent Grafs an email stating that I would like an exchange if they could send me the one they show in their product photo.
Got it boxed up waiting to hear from them.
Same here. The photo on Grafs website shows the other version. I think that one would make changing shell holders a lot easier.
Got it from Grafs. The photo of the item on their website shows the other version. The one I wanted.
I'm hoping someone can shed some light on this.
I just received this product and I noticed on most of the photos I've seen, the orientation of the primer tray and thumb latch is on the sides. ...

I decided to go with the Lee disk powder measure also. I thought I would probably need the riser so I ordered one. I have a Star small primer feed tube that fits perfect. The longer...

There was one recently on Ebay that sold for $525.00. Another sold for $280.00 I think it has a lot to do with caliber. The first one was in .38 spl. and the other was in 9mm. I...
