A little off topic but does anyone know if 99 Savage take down barrels are interchangeble within a case group. 30 30, 32 special 32 40.
A friend with a 30 30 takedown asked me and I have no idea so...

Have a 303 Brit that I have been too lazy to scrub the old cosmoline out of yet. Bought it because I had never seen one with a round Springfield cocking piece.

Don't load a 270 Win case with the charge for 270 wetherby, A really nice 700 ADL went to paradise that way. Fortunatly my friend was wearing good safety glasses and most of his damadge was from...

Fiddled with the stuff a little back in the early 60s. Seemed to give pretty erratic performance in 30-40 Krag and 8x57 Mauser but worked well in a friend's 264 Win mag so let him have it and went...

I have favorite loads that I have been using for nearly 50 years and they still do the job today just as they did then.
It is an unfortunate fact that the newer manuals format does not allow the...

Thankyou Uncle45Auto,
That sounds like what I need but an assy. drawing would still be nice.

This spot annealing thing is not really annealing in its true meaning. What is actually desired is a further drawing or tempering of the heat treated hardness to a workable level in a small and...

Somebody wrote some years ago that if you can't describe something mathmatically it isn't science it is superstition. After nearly 40 years in Toolrooms and machine shops I tend to agree. That does...

An old band from a portable bandsaw mill will often provide good quality steel for making flat springs. You need to anneal the stock and form and file to needed shape then reharden and temper. Be...

Got an old H&R revolver, 32 S&W caliber, 5 shot I have been working on. It seems to be missing at least one spring but am unable to locate an assembly drawing for it to be sure what is here and what...

You were looking to run your lubsizer with a power drive to. Again I think a mechanical linear driver would be best. Some kind of H frame over the press to mount the driver and a clevis and pin...

Reading thru this thread there are a lot of ideas, many worth investigation. My opinion for what it may be worth. Air systems are cleaner to work with but I fear short on the needed power to full...

Some days you can't make an honest nickel and other days it rains.

My vote is for the 600 jr for volumn loading. If you load more than one gauge think really hard about separate presses, they are a royal PITA to convert and adjust and a complete press in a new gauge...

Yes those are shotshell dies for a Lyman Comet press. The sizing/decapping die fits the large thread in the press frame while the wad seating die needs the 7/8 14 bushing installed. Your photos do...

Looks like it would go in a medium flat rate box from USPS

That is one nice looking piece of iron but much too far away. It'd cost twice the purchase price to get it home. Sure would like it in my cellar though.

Back about 1977 I built a 50 cal. Mountain Rifle from a CVA kit. At the time there was an offer in the box for a free finishing kit if you mailed in the end of the kit box which I did. Got back a set...
