I have to say action wise it isn’t bad. Out of the box it had some crunchiness about 75% of the pull on DA.

After it came back that was gone. They didn’t mention it in the repair work but...

Closest I had to this was a 1911 colt with a light trigger job and a bunch of titanium parts I put in including the firing pin and the main spring pin cap and the hammer strut with the creme de la...

Yea that’s a nice bonus wood level!

I got a plain jane one a few weeks ago.

BTW did you slug your barrel yet? I have yet to slug mine.

I am having fun with mine but honestly struggle with...

I have to say they are fun as heck with black. A fellow old gun enthusiast at the club let me shoot is 19th century 44-40 Winchester 92 with his BP reloads. They were pretty mild in recoil from...

Well I ran out of rear sight adjustment with about 3” to go at 20 yards.

I loaded up some XTPs in .32 H&R cases from the Pet Loads recommendations with A#5. They had 5.0, 5.7 for SAAMI loads...

I just went through this with Ruger.

They sent me a shipping label on their dime. I boxed it up in a Ruger generic cardboard box I happened to have that even had an over box. IIRC they were...

Thanks charlie, I was going to ask just that with the .327 loads versus the light stuff but was fairly sure I knew the answer.

I was out early having breakfast today and picked up some XTP 100...

Shot some more yesterday.

Great group with my as cast Keith style SWC over 3.1 grains of W231. Still low and right. I had a 2-2.4” group down in the lower corner of a 25 yard slow fire target...

Thank you guys for sharing your thoughts on the matter. It never really dawned on me other than I had to plug a few holes with lead shot here and there if they weren’t in a groove or faced with the...

Ok, this is going to sound dumb as I have been dabbling in this for for a good ten years but....

RCBS lube dies have a single row and my Lyman H&I lube dies have two rows of holes and one, a Lyman...

I just realized that they cleaned up a hitch in the DA trigger pull too. It may have been just some metal milling left in the trigger return spring hole that they cleaned out.

So far that is two...

white eagle,

In blackjack when you draw two cards of the same value you can split your hand.

Put them both on layaway. ;-)

I got it back about a half hour ago. They put a new barrel on as I expected.

No crooked sight.
Barrel shroud much better fit to the frame.
Barrel is serviceable I believe. I had to clean it...

Charlie you sir are a mind reader.

I hate that they don’t send an email report of findings and work done.

The Cimarron rifle came back with no note whatsoever and they never fixed it. Was...

Well it’s already in its way back!

Wow, I am glad I kept trying things.


I loaded the Speer 98 HBWC over 1.7 grains of WST and used a winchester primer. I may not win a bullseye match but my little 631 S&W like this load. About...

I think they all try to make it right, well except for Cimarron. They shipped my 1873 back without fixing anything, no explanation, just threw the gun in a cardboard box with no bubble wrap with a...

I tried to adjust the model 64. I only moved the barrel a pencil line thickness. I draw a pencil line from frame to barrel as a reference. I put the crane and cylinder back on but it was rubbing a...

Hmm I have to say the 4” model 19. The runner up for most fun is the model 63 kit gun.

Iirc one of my loads is 1.7 grains of powder in the .32 SWLong. That’s pretty economical.

I actually got a little smart this time and used my 6” dial mic to take some measurements on the dies so I could return them to the other caliber’s settings.

I am not a big fan of the Hornady...

Nice! I wondered if someone would pick up the Star lube die gauntlet!

I have made myself custom expanders for RCBS cowboy dies for my extra deep grooved high wall .38-55 ammo.

I am no real...

:shock:

My biggest thing on cars lately is mice. I just changed cabin and air filters due to nests and nastiness. Today I see another ball of black fuzz in the driveway after I moved my truck. ...

Oh lord that is bad.

I suspect mine is just impurities in the blank that got cranky when the button was run through the blank. It should have never passed qc.

Then again the blackhawk I...

Well TC is coming back soon. One of the old owners bought the brand from Smith and is currently moving all the remaining parts, jigs, unfinished guns, machinery and the gun library.

They...
