I found a set of grips on Amazon at at fair price. Should arrive in 6-7 days. Much quicker than Thailand!

Great ideas guys. I’ll give them a try. My main concern is the outside being sticky . I cleaned all the inside off ( it’s still gummy though ).

I saw those wood grips, but hesitated due to them...

As much as I’d love to whittle my own grips, I don’t think my arthritic hands are up to the task.

The factory grips did have a residue on their insides that was very gummy. None was on the...

I picked up a Taurus model 82 in 38 Spl and the factory grips are very sticky. I tried various cleaning products and none helped. I’d like to replace them but selection choices are few to none. Hogue...

When the occasional carpenter bee buzzes my shop, I break out my badminton racket. It makes for great fun. Just stand still with your racket at “cocked & locked” and swing away.

Not sure why they...

Nice looking Ruger, but that’s not a flattop. It’s a regular New Model.

I think it’s a counter weight that goes in the bottom of an alien flying saucer. It keeps it centered while the spaceship spins.

Love that wood!

I’ll take the 40 S&W dies please..

PM to follow..

PM sent…

Got some 40 S&W brass. 66 pieces of Federal and 35 pieces of otherwise mixed. Came from a government Range so no idea on usage. Been tumbled clean. $10 shippedGONE

Got a Herters 7x57 dies set that is missing the decapping pin assembly. It appears unused in the box and is in very good condition. Includes seating dies and sizing die. No decapping rod assembly....

Love your project, although I’m not a fan of thumb hole stocks, I think you’ve got a nice looking rifle there.

I’m getting a barrel Duracoated locally. This shop parkerize first then Duracoat or Cerakotes.

Egg sinkers are good for me too. They come in a variety of sizes.

I sent Doug a Ruger NMBH 45 Colt cylinder that would group 5 shots and throw 1 shot a few inches out. After his magic it now consistently groups all 6 shots!
Thank you Doug…

Glad to see you are still pursuing your Carcano challenge. I’ve gone through a number of 6.5 Carcano’s with varying degrees of success. My latest is a Finnish stamped M38 in 7.35x51. I bought it as a...

I keep an old coffee can on my bench that I throw blemished bullets in. I has added up over the years.

I got new PPU brass from another user on another forum. Just got through casting a few bullets the other day and haven’t worked a load up yet. I’m using data for a 300 Savage as my starting load....

Adam, I’m shooting cast bullets with a mould I got from Accurate Moulds. It’s a 140 grain plain base. Still working up loads now.

Finally finish my 7.35 Carcano project. Please note, no changes were done to the original metal on this rifle. The stock was hacked up when I got it.

If you are a non-Star user, i.e. Lyman Lubrisizer, then custom H&I dies can be had from ammohead.

That what I did a few years ago. Ordered it thru Ace Harware. I did find a can of the liquid JPW recently. Don’t know if I’ll ever use it though. Might consider offering it up on the Classified...

Have had deliveries that I track through Informed Delivery via Priority Mail that seem to get stuck in the system. It will make it to a destination and then just stay there with no updates for 4-5...

Got a new Boolit for my 7.35 Carcano. It’s an Accurate Mould plain base 140 grain Boolit. BTW, I sold the stock on my Carcano. It drew so much attention I was offered way more than I paid for it. ...
