Dunno, never had one hit me -- :veryconfu

I would expect the hittee's lawyers to have a field day with it though :bigsmyl2:

Hadn't really thought of the .44 in that way but it sure makes sense. My main bullseye gun is a heavily customized (by me) Rock Island Armory 1911A1 and I also have one of their 1911A1CS compact...

With the .44 Magnum not traditionally being a "target" gun, per-se except maybe for Metallic Silhouette (wouldn't use true WC for them 250 yard shots anyway) I don't think I'd even bother to cast...

Touche. prolly not enough coffee yet this morning - Woke you guys up though, didn't I?

:oops:

I don't either, but when the question is asked in class and it almost invariably is, I don't tell them it's a dumb question and try to explain why it won't work.

My philosophy is, 1, never assume...

Gentlemen,
Thank you for all the disparaging remarks!

I have been reloading for nigh onto 40 years now, have done all the research and am well aware of the problems with running HBWC's backwards....

Anyone know of a source of bulk hollow base wadcutters in .44?

Not really wanting to pick up a mold and start casting them until I find out if they will work reversed in my Taurus Tracker M44C...

Somebody please find a cure for rimfireitis (very much akin to Mosinitis). I rescued a couple of .22's and now they have crossbred. A Savage Mark II left hand (I am a lefty) .17 MachII with a 22"...

Paul was real nice when I ordered his book on the M69. Wow, that's a well written and very useful manual. He also kindly send me a couple of hardened steel pins to make it easier to drive out those...

Some people have had luck with clamp on rings fitting that way, some not. Mine didn't work so rather than trying to dremel out the grooves I wound up drilling & tapping the receiver. Found a...

They need to be driven out from the underside of the bolt toward the top. I broke a couple of punches and had to very carefully drill mine out. I then used a split type roll pin to replace it with....

I got mine a few months ago. The factory peep was buggered up pretty badly, so I replaced it with a Williams (fit the factory holes perfectly) and I refinished the stock.

If you find you need...

Been out of touch for a while and missed this post Jed. The firing pin is supposed to move freely and no spring. If it's worn on the striker end, that could easily cause the misfire. Apex gun...

Almost correct Pat,
Actually I used .005" brass shim stock for the thin stuff. I didn't have any aluminum beverage cans on hand as neither my wife or I drink soda or beer [smilie=l:

I have a...

Graf's (www.grafs.com) also is showing them "IN STOCK". Midway shows them backordered until 11/26/2010.

Ordered mine from Grafs and it's showing shipped by Fedex Ground - should be here Monday.

When I'm not casting boolits, teaching reloading or Kansas concealed carry classes, I'm hitting yard sales or watching the local forum for old .22 rifles. So far I haven't paid more than $100 for...

For someone who doesn't have the welding skills or the steel to make that stand, why not mount a press upside-down under the bench lip? That would work ALMOST as well.

The request on Rimfire Central worked! Got a PM and a call this morning from a guy in New York and he had a brand new, complete bolt for sale. Price was reasonable, so I agreed to buy it. That...

Mods please delete this thread = should have been posted in the "selling/buying/trading forum -- I've already started the same thread there..

My bad.

Jim

I haven't been a member there long enough to post in the wanted to buy forum. They require 35 days.

I have made the wish known in one of my threads on the rifle, but not too many people have read...

Got given one of these neat little Romanian M1969 .22 Military trainer rifles. Unfortunately this one is missing a critical bolt part. Need to find the safety detent which is also the keeper for the...

I probably should have taken pix during the process of that drill & tap job, but I was wanting to get the job done as I had a lane reserved at the range. I'd have to remove scope and rail to show it...

Wow! Yes, even though I've got it pretty well figured out and found 2 spare FP/Ejectors stored in the cleaning well, I need to get me one of those manuals just to have. I have the entire mechanics...

Here's a comparison target out of the Romy M69. The top target was 5 rounds of Federal 38 grain plated hollow point ammo out of a 550 round value pack and the bottom was 5 rounds of 40 grain Federal...

Yeah, I found that out. I have the machine tools available so I'm going to drill and tap it for a weaver rail mount in the Ruger 10/22 hole pattern. Waiting on a 6/48 tap and the rail to get here...
