I was a fan of Brown and Sharpe until I purchased my last dial caliper from them.......Made in Brazil. Rack was all burred up, took it apart, stoned all the offending surfaces, used it for a month,...

Bought a couple off of Arsenal, the last one cast under sized by.002. After several attempts, I gave up contacting him. Never returned a email. Rumor has it my situation is not unusual with regard to...

Keep an eye on the stock at the lock plate bolt/escutcheon area. I've had a number of Senecas and Cherokee's over the years and practically every example regardless of caliber cracked in that part of...

I wouldn't want to ruin your experiment, but here's a couple suggestions.
1) Use a dedicated vessel to melt your alloy. Once you get zinc on the interior surfaces of your furnace, you will...

Have tried it and it's a complete waste of time.

I use a 330 grain paper patched or a RCBS 300 CSA in a grease grooved bullet. With Black, 1.5 F has had the best showing. Smokeless IMR4198. FWIW, twist is 1-16, Green Mountain.

Were me, I'd take it to a scrap yard and trade it for either wheel weights or pure lead scrap (iron soil pipe salvage). The scrapers don't test it and don't care if it's lead/zinc mixed. I've fallen...

Don't do it, you will never get your alloy "right" sulfur can get a majority of zinc out but it's far better not to get it in your pot in the first place. Test your metal, if you can't or are...

Clean thoroughly, lube it up and use it. Decent gun for it's time, just supplanted by improved models. I like 1148's and if they get dirty, they don't always lock back.

This would be Lemi-shine.

It doesn't get much cooler than this!

Congratulations on the Hepburn, great rifles in a great caliber. But that Sharp's isn't on the short end of the stick either.

Great shotgun powder. I wish the mutton heads still made it.

I've always stuck with the suggested OAL in the Lyman handbooks, they feed and fit in both my 1873 clone and 1873 "P" model Colt.

Unless your stuck on an original, Cimarron imports an 1873 made by Uberti. I've had one for a number of years and it's amazingly accurate. Not picky as to bullets, just be sure to crimp firmly.

I just back the sizing die back out a half a turn and there ya go, neck only sized.[/QUOTE]

You can't suggest not to buy brass and encouraging hoarding in the same breath. I think the number of people reselling brass is relatively small considering the current market and the reloaders I...

That's load works fine in mine, kills deer out to a hundred yards with broadside pass through, so steel plates shouldn't require a second shot FWIW Uberti/Pedersoli proofs all of their rifles to...

189.00 K @ Starline, in stock.

I use to work with a man that served in the Swiss army, they gave him the K31 rifle he was issued when he was discharged. Since I had one, I made the remark that I thought they shot a bit high at the...

Hard to say how many 14 1/2's were made, the serial numbers were lumped in with the model 14's. Couldn't of been many, I have one in 38-40 but the 44-40 has proved elusive. I think your correct with...

I like and collect pump action rifles. But, ask IMI, Colt, Remington, Savage, Uberti, AWA why they don't make one. Not very many people want one, no money in it for the manufacturer and they are...

I'm guessing Hawaii is the southern most state in the union.

I have a Remington 700 Classic, went to South Africa this past August, Eight different animals, 9 shots. The Eland was down but the PH wanted an insurance shot. Speer 250 grain HotCor and a max load...
