If it's like mine I would be a touch leery about firing it with factory ammo, mainly from a headspace angle. Like so very many of these things mine has wildly excessive headspace. It's so bad that...

Two that I recently acquired from the estate of a late friend/mentor:

1972-vintage Browning High Power 9mm. 95%+ condition. Can't wait to exercise it a bit. The camera flash washed out the deep...

Thanks for the update, Vall. Yet another chance to cuss out the skill (luck) of a bombardier on a JU-88 or Heinkel, I suppose!

Oldest milsurp rifles I shoot regularly are a U.S. Krag Carbine and a 7mm #5 Rolling Block, both about the same age. Oldest military handgun I shoot fairly regularly is a 1910-vintage DWM 9mm Luger....

It's of the genre known as kiplaufs. Break action single shot hunting/target rifles mostly made up by guild gunsmiths on actions provided by a few gun factories. Some few were finished out by said...

Were I to undertake a Low Wall project I would make it either a .32 H&R or .32-20, mainly because I'm turning into a .32 fanboy. I currently shoot a LW in .25-20 Single Shot and frankly it has been...

Vall, thinking out loud here, another possibility - could've Marlin taken an order from an English firm for a couple #3's and in the rush to fill it discovered they didn't have any of the current...

It already had bases, I put the scope on it. Shoots like a crackerjack!

Cramminetty, Vall, I paid that much four months ago for the virtual twin to that #3 Gallery, and thought I got a fairly decent deal!

Your Amphibious Self should do that if possible. I erred on the side of caution (mild panic?) and ordered 4 cans of 4227 yesterday to augment my stash of it. Cost be darned - and that coming from...

Anybody here mess with one? I acquired a minty one which judging by the excellent finish but with German waffenampts must have been from very early in the war. Later ones made under German auspices...

That Accurate 31-105T has become my favorite all-around .32 mould, for .32 S&W Long, H&R Magnum, and .32-20. I had Tom cut my mould to drop at .314 out of 1:20 alloy. Prior to this one the RCBS 95...

H&G 68 200SWC, 4.0gr. Bullseye - forever and ever, Amen.

Here's a second .22 Maximum Lovell for you Phil. Impromptu pic utilizing a loosey-goosey bench rest because I hadn't planned on shooting that day. Single shot Krag, built by Hervey (yes Hervey)...

I converted an early .32 rimfire 44 with 7o'clock extractor to centerfire by the simple expedient of swapping out the breech block for a centerfire one. After that the only obstacle was ammunition...

Favorite .22 rifle: Ballard Pacific which someone re-barreled to .22.

It shoots too. 100 yards.

Favorite .22 handgun:...

To the OP: you stated that your front sight tends to get lost in the bullseye? If so, I assume you're trying to hold for the center? Have you tried a good old simple 6 o'clock hold at the bottom of...

I've been messing with Krags since I was 16, 55 years ago. Bought my first one, a righteous 1896 Carbine for the grand sum of $40 that year. Not a year has gone by since then that I haven't had at...

I wouldn't mind seeing a bit of that rifle, Vall. What cartridge case do you use? A nail gun blank behind the breech seated bullet?

I guess you wouldn't enjoy one of my favorite pastimes - breech seating .22 bullets in a .22LR chamber and pushing them with pre-primed empty .22LR cases filled with a pinch of Bullseye!
...

I automatically think in terms of flexibility of a cartridge. Everything I own gets shot with a far higher percentage of reduced loads than with full tilt stuff - everything from Hornets to .30-06's...

Surely he jests. Great flexibility to be had, from mild to wild with one gun, ie: a .22-250.

Would one drive his Ferrari at 140mph everywhere he went simply because it's capable of super speeds?...

Ignore uscra112's advice about Stevens 44's at your peril.

I have a 44 chambered for .22WCF and even though a .22 Hornet round will chamber and fire I refuse to do so. I feed it soft 45 and 40...

Hornady makes a hydraulic case forming die. Not particularly cheap but it works a treat for making my K-Hornet brass. Put a Hornet case in the die and whack the piston with a lead hammer and the...
