Someone said brazing and I agree, I'd use a die grinder and make a v groove and fill it with braze, I'd use TIG brazing myself, less heating of the material that way.

At the moment, one lee hand press and one lee C-frame press. I think I might have a lee powder measure somewhere too. Used it for black powder. That's what I used the lee equipment for mostly as I...

Is there any literature on making a stock from scratch? It's what I have been doing for my 1873 winchester replica, though the project has gone into hibernation. I have the forestock roughed out,...

I'm afraid I haven't gotten anywhere with the project yet, I was dialing in a piece of shaft I was gonna use but was chasing my own tail, turns out the 4-jaw chuck suffers from bellmouth on two of...

I have various stock and shafting in more suitable dimensions as well. some 8mm shafting might be the most suitable I got, and some 12mm mild steel round stock.

I'm gonna go the emery route for the existing part. Though I will want to make one, I mean it's fun :)

Ive been teaching myself CAD the last few months, dabbled in sketchup for a year prior and...

Oh yeah! D'oh, can't believe I didn't figure that out on my own. Thanks for your help!

I got a SAA revolver that I marred the base pin on many years ago:

Well I was thinking that since I recently acquired a metal...

This is part of the reason I want to try the MCC method of coating, some guy said that using a heat gun on the bullets before going into the pan and while still shaking them about, eliminated...

The MCC method was looking like the number 1 contender until this thread. So simple and such nice results. Now to figure out which coating/color works best.

I haven't done any of this but it seems it can't hurt to tumble the ready PC'ed bullets in carnauba wax when still hot.

What I am worried about is the gas check coming off. I shoot with a suppressor and I don't want a baffle strike. Hence I am very interested in shooting without a gas check or milling the shank off. ...

Have you tried using a heat gun on the bullets as they are drying, keep tossing them about on the pan before going into the oven. I read that someone did this and eliminated the sticking issue.

What about accuracy if you don't use a gas check but keep the shank?

I might remove all the grooves and GC shank on my surplus 75gr 223 mold... At least on some cavities.

That's too bad, if that is really true then coating, and casting might not be the answer for me in this caliber. I want to get away from gas checks or I can't use my suppressor in my AR15 with my...

I read in the comments to the video, that a guy got good results with this method using Eastwood 2K primer and also using a heat gun on the bullets while shaking and drying them, that way you avoid...

I would probably have someone with a mill to do it when it'll happen yes. Don't know any machine shops in the area though. I know some gunsmiths however.

I got this surplus Mihec 75gr 223 mold that drops bullets with an undrsize front driving band. Now we're all getting replacements so I now got this mold I got no use for. But I think it can still be...

What if one doesn't get HF but buys from powder by the pound instead? To be specific i am interested in matte black 223 bullets. I might still go the electrostatic method.

So any news on the 223 front? I'm real interested in trying powder coating or any kind of coating that shows potential with .223. I would like to be free from gas checks so I can shoot suppressed...

I have a 1974 made Winchester 9422 and it's hands down one of my favorite guns. Though I would be hard pressed to choose between it and a Marlin 1897 Cowboy. That is the one levergun I could trade my...

The 44mag version would be great platform I think for mild 44 mags and stout 44 specials.

My .44 mag rossi is one of the nicest guns I own, but not out of the box. Then again you get what you pay for. My Uberti 1873 is very nice looking, but the trigger and action is stiffer than the...

I was hoping for the satin like finish actually, I was mostly wondering if I could put the parts in my cabinet and bead blast them, or if I needed to polish the surfaces by hand with something like...
