Found one on Gunbroker that is identical to this. It is described as 4mm Flobert and has a price marked as $99.00.
Run ubungsmunitions 20 and a lot of references will come up.

I have a hard cover on my 2003 Ford Super Crew. It is nice and keeps the weather out. Fairly secure, even though I believe you could pop it open with a long screwdriver. Biggest downside is if you...

If I don't recognize the number or the name I don't answer the phone. Let it go to voice mail. If it is someone I want to talk with I will call them back.

I am guessing you mean the Walther. I have no direct experience with the PDP, but I have owned a PPQ for about 6 or 7 years. I am guessing the barrels are very similar. I have never experienced any...

I swage a 250 grn. round nose into a wadcutter for low velocity rounds I use at a 2x4 shoot. They do a really good job at blowing huge chunks of wood out the back when I hit the board.

I have also fired lead bullets from my .44 mag Desert Eagle which is also polygonal rifling. Other than the fact that they were going too fast to grip the rifling they did not cause any safety...

Try removing the cylinder, then remove the nipples and shoot a blast of compressed air through each chamber. It should blow the charge and ball out.
When we were shooting pins, one thing I noticed is nothing would go completely through the pin unless hit very close to the side. The round that went the deepest was 9mm luger. I shot .44 mag (full...

What calibers are you looking to make? If some of the more common pistol calibers certain pistol brass can be used. If for a .22 cal. rifle you can use .22 rimfire brass with a set of de-rimming...
Battis,
I PM'ed you a copy of the rules that we used at the club I belong to.
As far as the restrictions go, it sounds like someone thinks they can get an advantage.

Thanks for the responses. I have not been able to get to the range to try it out yet. Maybe this week. This one actually has a small bend. I have thought about using heat and trying to straighten...

I was recently given a Glenfield model 60 that had been left in a shed. It was cosmetically in rough shape. Cleaned up fairly well with some Scotch Brite pads and the bore appeared to be pristine. ...

Why not a Ruger Vaquero. You can shoot BP in it, and it looks the part. You should be able to pick one up used for a reasonable price.

Not to go to far off topic, but this reminds of the old joke, "Why does NJ have all the toxic waste dumps and DC has all the lawyers....NJ had first choice."
