Does anyone make a mold good for a 38-55 in a mid-weight round nose bullet design?
Forum: Single Shot Guns
Just got my 38-55 up & running a couple of weeks ago in a custom rifle styled like the original type 1885s and after playing with it a bit I wonder now why I didn't try the 38-55 a long time ago, I...

I have been wondering about the twisted end method since I had never done it that way myself but seems like so far here there have only been good things said about it. When you say "long twist for a...

The Duco brand seems to be the same as or very similar to old type plastic model cement and it will dissolve/soften some plastics just like the old stuff, for sure it burns very aggressively wet or...

May be a bit late to this party but I have something I would like to add that may be of interest, I have recently found what I think to be the perfect glue for making cartridges. "Duco" (made by...

Yep I agree and the dirty tricks they use is something else no one has mentioned, or if they did I missed it maybe. When you sign up the system will be smoking hot and work really great, that is...

Yep I failed to catch that and it looks as if someone at GunsAmerica did also because they sent it to me TODAY!
I didn't think for a minute it was real but since GA sent it out today I couldn't...

I decided to order the Ted Cash capper despite it possibly not fitting the little Pocket Navy cylinder, I have the means to neatly modify the cylinder if needed to make more room and because of the...

I had not seen that Ted Cash capper and that looks to be a real deal so I will get that one headed my way, Thanks for the link! Next time I order from Midway I also will get the inline that was...

I hadn't looked at Brownells closely until now because they are $15 to $20 dollars higher for the same Grobet file on Ebay where I bought mine and when buying multiple files that adds up. After...

I understand it was 20 LPI but was it a coarse or fine cut file? I think while searching I saw the 20 LPI in cut 00 to cut 2 and the 40 LPI in cut 00 to cut 4.
My main concern with my original...

Looks great, if I can get results like that I will be quite happy!
Although I have already ordered my files I would still be very much interested in knowing how coarse or fine the file was that...
Forum: Gunsmithing Tips & Tricks
Ok the deed has been done, I decided not to be such a tight-wad and ordered both coarse and fine cuts for both the 20 LPI and the 40 LPI so I will have a choice of either coarse or fine cut when...

May be a bit of a misunderstanding here and it's my fault, I should have been more clear about my intentions. These files will be used for checkering metal such as, for example the first project I...
Forum: Gunsmithing Tips & Tricks
Yes I suppose I should just "split the difference" and order a cut 0 or a cut 1 for each, if they wouldn't so darn pricey I would just order a coarse and a fine in 20 LPI and the same for the 40 LPI....
Forum: Gunsmithing Tips & Tricks
Yes I have already decided on a 20 LPI and 40 LPI but what I am unsure of is the coarseness (the cut no. such as cut 00, cut 0, cut 1 etc) for each LPI. For instance a 6" file with a 20 LPI can be...
