I just bought a stainless grip frame from Brownells for my Ruger Blackhawk in 45 Colt. Haven’t received it yet, so been watching a few YouTube videos. Any tips or thing I need to be aware of before...
I screwed up last year and sold my Lipseys stainless 44 flattop Ruger. Bought it new back in the day and tripled my money, but man do I miss it. I did pick up a Lipsey GP100 44 Spl 5 inch blue, but...
I’ve got the Lipsey’s 44 Spl GP100 blue 5 inch full lug. Picked it up after I had a brain fart and sold my flattop stainless Blackhawk 44 Spl. The GP100 is nice, but I liked the flattop Blackhawk...

I bought one of CMP’s Expert Garands with the Criterion 308 barrel a couple of years ago. Very nice shooter. Check yours to see if it has the Criterion barrel or if it has the chamber insert.

I’ve been after the same motor too. Never found a proper rep,a cement and I worked at Grainger for over 11 years. Still have the old bowl and motor housing, in case I ever did find a motor.
Well, I tried a number of your suggestions and though some of the sticky was resolved the grips turned out to be very gummy, like the rubber is breaking down. I went ahead and ordered a set of grips...
I found a set of grips on Amazon at at fair price. Should arrive in 6-7 days. Much quicker than Thailand!

Great ideas guys. I’ll give them a try. My main concern is the outside being sticky . I cleaned all the inside off ( it’s still gummy though ).
I saw those wood grips, but hesitated due to them...
As much as I’d love to whittle my own grips, I don’t think my arthritic hands are up to the task.
The factory grips did have a residue on their insides that was very gummy. None was on the...
I picked up a Taurus model 82 in 38 Spl and the factory grips are very sticky. I tried various cleaning products and none helped. I’d like to replace them but selection choices are few to none. Hogue...
When the occasional carpenter bee buzzes my shop, I break out my badminton racket. It makes for great fun. Just stand still with your racket at “cocked & locked” and swing away.
Not sure why they...

I think it’s a counter weight that goes in the bottom of an alien flying saucer. It keeps it centered while the spaceship spins.

Love your project, although I’m not a fan of thumb hole stocks, I think you’ve got a nice looking rifle there.

I’m getting a barrel Duracoated locally. This shop parkerize first then Duracoat or Cerakotes.

Egg sinkers are good for me too. They come in a variety of sizes.
I sent Doug a Ruger NMBH 45 Colt cylinder that would group 5 shots and throw 1 shot a few inches out. After his magic it now consistently groups all 6 shots!
Thank you Doug…

Glad to see you are still pursuing your Carcano challenge. I’ve gone through a number of 6.5 Carcano’s with varying degrees of success. My latest is a Finnish stamped M38 in 7.35x51. I bought it as a...

I keep an old coffee can on my bench that I throw blemished bullets in. I has added up over the years.

I got new PPU brass from another user on another forum. Just got through casting a few bullets the other day and haven’t worked a load up yet. I’m using data for a 300 Savage as my starting load....

Adam, I’m shooting cast bullets with a mould I got from Accurate Moulds. It’s a 140 grain plain base. Still working up loads now.

Finally finish my 7.35 Carcano project. Please note, no changes were done to the original metal on this rifle. The stock was hacked up when I got it.
