The best way to save a bit on a Remy is to keep an eye on Midway, sometimes they put them on sale at a good price. The last one I purchased was a Uberti Navy .36. It was a blemish and from what I can...

MarlinMan, my condolences for your loss.
John, I think you are right on the calibers but I think that possibly .22 hornet was also offered, not positive but I think. I have seen some original Rem...

Bang, Breathe, cough and repete. That is a nice looking bullet. I hope it shoots well for you. I have a mold that casts a bullet that looks like that, I think its an RCBS mold. about 200 gr or so. I...

I do feel that the way the sights were set up on an original #7 was the rifle was to be used at a fixed range and not adjusted all that much. If you wanted to use one today for the .22 BPCR matches...

Ok my bad on the dovetail, the round recess makes more sense from a manufacturing standpoint. If you could fit up a Marbles site that would make sense economically. I really don't think I would want...

You may be in for a surprise when you first touch off a BP cartridge load. I sure was when I first loaded up some BP 44-40 loads. I had shot some factory loads and some reloads from the Lyman manual....

Brownells used to sell it, would think that they still would. Jarrets in-letting black I think was the name of it. came in a small pot if I remember right.

It does look like you have a pretty good shooter there. Did you try it out with RB and Black? Or was the conversion its maiden voyage? If you did try RB how well did they shoot?
I have all 4 of the...

Yes the stock is a bit on the fragile side. The Rear sight does stick up there but the mount is farily ridgid. The rest of the action is pretty much the same as the #2. I have 3 casting kits setting...

You said that you needed something to poke the cases out of the cylinder after they are fired. Well your revolver comes all ready set up with an appendage to do that, its the handle end of your...

I am a retired tool make, in my work life I used micrometers a lot. I have several Starrette micrometers that I used as my "milling" mikes. When it came time to do the precision grinding of parts I...

I don't know about some plated bullets but I do know that Berry's bullets have about .003" of plating on them per side. I would think it would take a lot to make that flake off and for all the faster...

I am also curious as I got a good deal on a bunch of them

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...

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...

happy days, looking forward to a full report once you stop dancing with glee

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...

Trails, the lathe I have is virtualy the same with a few small exceptions. I do have the same toolholder and was surprised to find out that you can swap tools and they are within .001". I found that...

Waiting and shipping can both be very frustrating. Hopefully it doesn't get lost in the system any place. The up side is not the holidays are over and the shipping system should be back to normal....

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...
