While I appreciate the replies so far, I'm looking for something more specific or first hand hunted. I know what states are good, but I don't know any farmers in those states.

Good afternoon,
It's been a dream of mine to get into hog hunting. I've been gearing up for ages, but the fact I live in the Peoples Republic of Illinois means it ain't happening up here. I lost...

The first deer I ever took with a cast boolit was using a Springfield 1903a3 and a Lee C309-180-R. I cast the tip of the boolit in soft lead (just above the ogive) and let it cool slightly while...

Great work! Years ago, I used duracoat on a 1911. The effort to scrape all of it off was insane. I used a paint stripper to assist the removal. There was no metal etching with the stripper. I believe...

Thanks for all of the replies and info all. I'm gonna send it to Deadeye Bly for the fix.

Good evening,
A long while back I picked up a Springfield trapdoor rifle on GunBroker for a song. The seller was consignment for an estate and hadn't any info. Nevertheless, it looked good in pics...

I hadn't thought of many of those; thanks for sharing!

I actually prefer to hand prime; always have. I made mention of it for those who don't want to press prime or maybe didn't know it doesn't have an auto primer feed. As far as my bushings, they're hit...

Good morning,
I recently purchased a new Lee Auto Breech Pro (ABLP) progressive reloading press. Since it's still newer to the game, I thought I'd post my initial impressions for anyone looking at...

Well, I didn't post this to argue anything, more like a hey look at this barrel post. The only possible obstruction would have been the wad from the previous shell. The shotgun was never misplaced or...

Afternoon,
Went pheasant hunting this past sunday, and lent my brother one of my Remington 1100s for his first pheasant hunt. Bought a new box of Federal 5 shot, and went on our way. His first...
IIRC, the frames come from Brazil (a well respected forge), and are assembled in the USA. Regardless, they come out of an American shop, so I couldn't care less about the rest!
Any more pics?
Very nice, thanks for posting. Was the FLGR the hex-wrench type, or a simple one-piece?
All,
Years back I used to frequent the old Springfield Armory, Inc. website, contemplating which 1911 I should purchase at the time. I've noted recently that with their new website, a number of...

Excellent, thank you again! I'll repost with results when I get it done.

Thank you both. Sorry for the late reply. Im not quite sure I understand your advice, Mtgun44. Is the point of that to draw the bolt head along the frame, using the nut as a sort of anchor?

Howdy,
Id been working on a browning auto 5 frame, which required the removal of the mag tube. Being what it is, heat and torque later, and the tube was replaced. When I went to refit the...
Forum: Cast Boolits
No, I'm a sole proprietor, so I can transfer inventory to myself without a 4473 and NICS check. I'm wondering about guns bought as a private individual, not those purchased with my FFL.

'Evening folks,
I have a question for you seasoned FFLs out there. I've been in business with an FFL for four years now. On rare occasions, I have bought used firearms from estate/collection...
Thanks for all the info. I think I'll offer $500, and leave it at that.
'Evening,
I'm going to be calling tomorrow on a nickel plated Colt 1911 MKIV Series 70 XXXXXXG70, and I'm wondering what prices I should haggle with. The seller wants way too much for it, but she...

Thanks for the info and tips, gents. I started a new job and forgot about this thread. [smilie=b:
I ordered a second set (trying to return the first set still) and didn't have the same issue. Alls...

Dove are great flyers, sometimes hard to shoot, but are super easy to clean. Snip off the wings, get your finger under the rib cage, pinch, and lift. Body comes apart. Pull off the head and you got...

Nice catch. Took my brother hunting for his first time today. Sky was dark with doves. Rained for the first 2 hours of the hunt, overcast but otherwise nice for the latter 2 hours we hunted. Guys...

Good morning,
I attempted to install a set of Meprolight TruGlo sights on a Springfield XDm 40 last night. I had no issues removing the factory sights (they were extremely tight, as expected), and...
