Just a follow up to this. I ended up sending this gun and another to jackrabbit1957. He was able to pin the arbor and take all the slop out, then retime it to be functional, although he doesn’t...

There doesn’t appear to be a shoulder on the arbor, it looks to just screw straight into the frame. It looks like the arbor screws all the way through the frame, as I can see the end of it in the...

I inherited my dads old (1970s) navy colt. The arbor is a little loose in the frame. I still shoot it from time to time, and would like to have it repaired so I could feel better about shooting it...

45/70 and 300 savage. I know there are other powders that are good in both, but I’ve had my best luck with varget. The 300 savage seems to do pretty good with most powders I’ve tried, but lately...

I’ve read about 4064 but never tried it out. I’d gladly buy some of that or anything else I thought I could use, if I could find it. I really got caught with my pants down on this shortage; when it...

I haven’t been reloading or shooting much this year, since I’m not willing to use what I can’t replace. But I’m going hunting next week and needed to make a few rounds. It was kind of depressing when...

I’m glad I’ve got what I do and can continue to shoot some, but I have a hard time using what I can’t replace. So I’ve cut back a lot until I can resupply or there’s a real emergency.

Dapaki- how is your Amazon special compressor holding up? I hadn’t seen them on there before, but that might be the way to go. With the compressor and a rifle I could be started for $1000. You say...

I’ve been considering getting an air gun, since we can’t get 22 ammo for a while. I plan to use it to teach my kids some marksmanship and for pest control around the house/garden. I was looking at...

My Lyman manual doesn’t list it at all. On the Accurate website they don’t have a listing for either of the cartridges I wanted to load with it. Oh well, I was hoping it was similar to IMR4064.

How does accurate 4064 compare to imr4064? All my books list IMR 4064 but don’t show load data for accurate 4064. I assume they are close enough to start with a light load and work up? I need a...

Yes it’s the left handed 50, in flintlock. Lucky for me I’m left handed too. Next time I’m over that way I’ll check it out a little closer.

That’s the one! I was looking for an old catalog to look it up in.

Ran across an older Dixie gun works rifle at a local pawn shop. It’s the left handed, kind of poor boy rifle they used to sell, but I can’t remember what they called it. What’s the consensus on...

Midway has rws in stock but you have to buy 2500. Black powder is limited to 2 cans per type.

I’ve been working up a load for 300 savage too. For hunting I’m planning on using 150 grn nosler partitions, but I’ve also shot core lokt with good results. I may try some 130 grain bullets, as I’ve...

For hunting, I wouldn’t use any type of aperture sight. I love them in the daylight, but once it starts getting dark, you lose that sight faster than any other kind. I use a set of Williams fire...

Factory gun built in 1954.

This was a 150 grain 300 savage load by federal. I have read they may use softer brass than other manufacturers. I didn’t chronograph the hem but they seemed comparable to other manufacturers loads I...

A while back I sighted in a new scope with a box of factory federal ammo. Everything went fine and I got my rifle sighted in without a problem. The other day I was looking for some brass and opened...

The bad part is I just got my 45/70 load where I want it with varget. I was going to try and use the same powder for a 300 savage I’m about to work up a load for. I like to share powders so I don’t...

I’m down to my last pound of varget and can’t find anywhere that has any. What’s going on? I was looking before coronavirus, so I don’t think it’s that. Any recommendations for a good substitute? IMR...

Norske- that scope is one of the ones I was looking at. But Leupold lists the distance between the bells of the scope as 4.81”. With the rings I have I need a mounting distance of 5.125”. I think I...

Has anybody else noticed that scopes seem to be getting shorter and harder to mount on anything but an AR? I’m trying to re scope a model 99 savage, but fitting what I want is becoming a problem. I’m...

My brother bought one around thanksgiving. It’s a very nice rifle, I couldn’t find a single complaint. Nice wood, good looking case hardening, shot good and had a smooth action. I’ve got to admit I...
