I used to go through these fast on my old trucks in younger days. All that I had were pure lead, very soft.

I always figured flux core only exists for it's convenience since it really is taking the worst features of MIG and stick and rolling them into an inexpensive and easy to use package.... At least...

I always thought HB was #2 - right up until I saw that table and remembered "F" pencils! I haven't seen an F for sale in years - probably whoever orders pencils for the minimal drafting section of...

Heheh... I learned stick first too - MIG is like hot gluing after you are used to stick!

Looking at some auctions for them, it looks like they added a gate to the receiver and kept the tube load (and also tube unload) for those that want it. Gotta say, that's the way to do it, please...
Forum: Leverguns
I agree, my only tube loader is a 9422. Fine on a plinking gun but I don't care for it on a field gun. I suppose Henry used it on all of them because it was easier to engineer and it allows the...

If I had had the time a few years ago, I could have scored a similar haul. Lead counterweight on a research telescope's bull gear. Too heavy to lift easily by the recycler, cast in place onto the...

Heheh.... my dad was an engineer too, got to shoot stuff and blow things up! He'd already blown up most of the serious stuff by the time he was married though, but I still have a lot of the old wood...
Forum: Completed Deals
Too bad you can't ship, I've got tons of wood like that. Figured walnut, curly maple, stabilized burl, mesquite, ironwood, ebony, cocobolo, and even a bit of Brazilian rosewood (unobtainable even...
Forum: Our Town
Entirely possible, I've only lost a couple shipments out of many, and those were not insured anyhow. I'm mostly shipping stuff I make, so there is no way to prove value, any receipt would just be...
Forum: Our Town
Most seem to agree it is the seller's responsibility, as I agree also. I've only had to make good on a lost shipment once, but that is exactly what I did.
Strikes me funny though, most sellers...

That's a good synopsis.
Ever wonder why we never trust the inevitable calls for "common sense gun regulations"? In stupid laws like this lie the answer. Put common sense back into the existing...

That is it exactly, my hobby budget tends to expand to meet available liquidity at any given time :mrgreen:

As usual, I just don't get it when it comes to a "pet peeves" thread...:-D
Forum: Leverguns
I have no problem with guys wanting to re-stock, re-blue, re-whatever their rifles, they own them and can do as they please.
However, one should understand that those very same rifles may now be...
Forum: Leverguns
My 94 is really hard to load if you have to open the gate every time, basically you need to push the gate down with a finger of one hand and then push the shell in with the other hand. My new Rossi...
Forum: Leverguns
Try not pushing it in so far, I don't mean to sound sarcastic, just leave the head of each case sticking out a little, holding the gate open, then push it all the way in with the next shell. I push...
Forum: Leverguns
My new 44 mag Rossi has similar problems with the buttstock, not bad enough to prevent use, but a low quality job in fit. I'm planning to make a replacement or two, never done a tanged gun, but...

Just as well you don't get hooked on the geography like my dad used to -- he was always distracted trying to figure out where the thing was filmed. Old Tucson is easy because the mountains behind...

You can stream Stagecoach free on Hulu.com, as well as the Rifleman and some other tv westerns. They used to have a lot of B-movie Zane Grey on there too, they may still. There are commercial...
Thanks for the mold and reloading info. I've got a Ranch Dog mold for 32 Special, I like his molds a lot. Probably go with that one and the Keith mold from RCBS. I do plan to pick up a 44 lever...
