My supply of Unique is dwindling. I have some Longshot, AA#5 and AA#7
Anyone had success with any of these? I`m shooting a 180 gr. out of a 20" newer 1892
8gr. of Unique has worked great, but hard...

I have blued several guns over the years, using the old Neidner formula cold blue. I am going to redo an old steel Browning double auto shotgun. the aluminum versions came in several different...

I`m looking at sight options for a new Win. 92 with 20" oct bbl. the original rear sight is getting fuzzy with my aging eyes. Will a tang sight for an original 92 cover up the safety hole? any other...

Thanks guys, I watched a youtube video about replacing Rossi springs, then went at it. Not really as complicated as it looks.
Forum: Leverguns
I`ve been trying to find instructions , but no luck yet. I bought this 92 awhile ago, it has a long rather blunt firing pin that needs to be rounded and reworked a little, does not always fire on...

Can anyone tell me if it is possible to remove the firing pin from an original 92, without removing bolt?

I have the 24"oct, it is front heavy and slower handling, compared to my Miroku with 20"round bbl. I put a taurus tang and red firesight on the Rossi, made it quite accurate, just depends what your...
I emailed Magtech for any info they had on smokeless...have not heard back. From the research I have done, it sounds like they should have a base wad.
I emailed RST, they don`t have any distributors up here in Canada. I did find one old Eley short shell in my boxes of junk, I`ll have a look at the next show, maybe they`re not so rare.Think I will...
My thought with the brass, was that I could reuse them without sizing, just poke out primer and reload with a dowel, I don`t intend to shoot it alot, so 25 would prob do me, it`s a work of art,...
I recently purchased a "German Guild" S/S built in 1923, 12 ga. with 2 9/16"chambers. It is Nitro proofed, very good condition...just wondering if it would be safe for a modern load in a 2 1/2"...

Having a mild spell here right now, so tryed out a few test loads from the new mould in the Browning 53 32/20. Very good results with the GC version I got. I tryed Unique, 2400, 4227 and...

I just received one of the new 311316 group buy moulds, maybe it will like Unique...it drops about .314 It`s getting rather wintery up here right now to test things.

I am using 8gr of 2400, best accuracy so far, have tryed 5 to 5 1/2gr of unique but not as accurate in this rifle. I`d like to stay in that same velocity range. I`m using Starline brass. Also have...

Has anyone had any sucess with SR4759? I`m loading 115gr pb and gc...so far my best results have been with 2400. In theory it seems like a good prospect. I`m shooting a Browning 53.
Forum: Leverguns
You can also do this modification without removing the lower tang from frame. Just remove the base bracket of the mainspring ( the small screw up through tang) you also have to drive out the small...

I use 12 grains of Alliant 2400...moderate load, accurate in my Rossi and Miroku.

Thanks Ben,I have one of those old Lyman hand tools with the mold on the end, it makes a very similar looking casting. Do you crimp yours? and if so, were. Those old designs were made to sit firmly...
Forum: Leverguns
Just picked up a new Win. Miroku `92 in 38/40. Any thoughts on mold choices? I think something with a crimp groove would be in order. The RCBS 40-180CB looks about right.

After roughly 200 rounds through a new .357 `73 Uberti, I see noticable peening on the hammer were it contacts firing pin. The pin appears unmarred, but the hammer is definately developing an...

Well, I`ve done some research on the medical use of nitroglycerin, and it says that it dilates veins, resulting in a drop in blood pressure and an increase in heart rate. I won`t be sniffing...

I have one in .357 with long barrel, it doesn`t matter what load I use, it is accurate and point of impact doesn`t change between loads. It is heavy but fun to shoot. Nice workmanship throughout. ...
