To fix a Herters Super Model 5 scale I purchased a 100 foot roll of .006 stainless steel wire. It was all I could find. A little fussy to install but seems to work good.
I don’t mind keeping a...

Forging that bolt handle is a simple and cheap way to go. It will take a bit of filing and hand polishing to clean it up and you may have to use a handi grinder to notch the handle seat in the...

One factor about the 7x61 S&H cartridge that was greatly appreciated at the time and could still be is the fact it will reliably feed from a standard unmodified 30-06 action such as the Springfield...

Got the. 006 SS wire and gave it a try. It does work but I agree with Pressman in that dental wire might be just a tad stronger. I found that the notch that the wire goes across then straight down...

Sway bars and trailer brakes are your friend. In my book a 150 is a tad small for towing a trailer like that, I would go with a 3/4 ton minimum. The big thing is don’t try to make a drag race out of...

Yup. Be very careful at that Crazy Horse monument. The toll booth is a bit back in there off the main highway and you can’t turn around until you get to that toll booth or at least you couldn’t a...

Thanks for bringing this old thread back to life, I just ordered a roll. In the old Herters catalogs this scale was advertised as being capable of weighing a pencil mark! Well if you used a very...

Stay far away from the advantage plans. They are fine for a skinned knee but come down with cancer and see how far they will carry you. Joint replacement is another problem.

Just guessing here but I wonder if you removed the tube then give it a good scrubbing with a small bristle brush and Dawn dish soap perhaps that might remove the film. If not you could perhaps add a...

Most likely a blond American walnut, many are like that. You might, then again you might not get a match for color. It’s really not that much more trouble and if it were I , me thinks I would sand...

Have put on several. All look good and shoot great. A bargain for the money.
Do it like that with plastic, 444 and expanded 303 brass. Wont feed in a pump or semi auto but in a single or double it’s dirt cheap shooting and works like a champ!

If the post office wants to quit loosing money and to not have to raise the price of stamps they need to quit cutting deals with Amazon and eBay and such. I sell now and then on eBay and if you go...

Had this problem, cleaned the sail switch but still didn’t help. Found out the battery was getting old, bought a new one and the problem went away.

I bought 2 of them back in the mid 60’s for the princely sum of $20.00 each. Wonderful little actions but the 32 Spl caliber was just too much. They were more than strong enough for the caliber but...

Not much around here and if you do stumble across a so called “farmers market” it’s not uncommon that they want twice the store price and the quality isn’t much better if at all.

From my experience cork could be used as a filler. The charge/ shot columns I am used to had a hard cardboard for the over powder wad. Generally it’s about .100 thick and can take 2 of them. The...
Yes. This is a good start. But if you have access to face book look up
Robert’s shot making equipment and techniques. A tremendous amount of constantly changing information.
