I have used a variety of aluminum molds over the years. Best way to get them to cast good bullets is to coat the cavity with carbon. One of the grill lighters is the easiest to use, it keeps your...

As stated above, HSS/Cobalt tolls will give you much better finish and service on these small lathes than the carbide insert tooling will. The one exception I have found to this is a small insert...

The twist on GM barrels is 17", They are .438/.446. They will shoot quite well. Depending on your use you will want a heavy barrel. A #3.5 barrel on a Pedrosoli rolling block, 30" long will give you...

I am the kind of guy that at times has to prove that something can be done. I wasn't sure about the straight 45 case blowing out to the 77 chamber so I gave it a try. not having any of the 90 brass I...

A few years back I picked up a used Co-Ax press at what I thought was a good price. The original owner had it set up to use a shell holder to do the priming. I ended up having to purchase some new...

Accurate Molds has a good selection of molds for the 44-77. As for dies you can use 43 mauser dies, Lee would be the least expensive and maybe easiest to find. Hopefully you have brass as that is...

I am pretty sure the rolling block pistol is kind of a nitch item. It is a shame that Uberti has stopped making them. However if you have the skills and tools or know a smith that does. you can buy...

Pretty much all of the 7X lathes come out of the same factory, Seig I think. The 7x10 is so short you will have problems drilling holes as you run out of bed length. I have a 7x14 I got from...

LOL @ Lead chucker. Yes a mill is a nice addition. I got very lucky on a mill. I picked up a nice used G074 (https://www.grizzly.com/products/grizzly-7-x-27-1-hp-mill-drill-with-stand/g0704) off of...

I am a bit late to this thread but I have seen one of the Uberti rifles in 45-70. It was for sale at a gun show, talked a little with the owner/seller. It was every bit a #2 roller, light weight and...

I would hazard a guess that he started with a pistol and then made the changes. From what I understand that is basically what the factory did when they couldn't sell pistols. If I were making the...

Marlinman, I do agree with you on the #7 being quite the eye catching rifle. I read a long article posted on the ASSRA forum buy a guy that built one from a casting kit. I figured if he could do it...

Who knows why they went with the .50. However we all know how great the minds are that are employed by the government. Those rolling block pistols, especially the later ones were quite nice and can...

Marlinman, nice score on the rolling block pistol. Hopefully it shoots as well or better than it looks. Its interesting that it was barreled by A Hubalek. I know little to nothing about the man but...
