Don't need to pay $35 when I just need a $3 spring. I'm going to try to make one from a 1911 sear spring. Failing that, if someone else knows a model i can substitute, I'd appreciate it.

Anybody know what I can use as a replacement hand spring?

A lot of companies built their 16s on 12 Ga frames, but mostly later on. I'm betting these were all caliber specific. Any body got one in 16they could measure?

Option 2, buy a spare 9x19 barrel, 9x23 reamer and recoil spring. Ream, install,...

I don't much care for Jeff Bezos getting tax breaks and preferential treatment from the government. He's got enough friends and can do without my money.

That might keep me from shooting it the 3 times it would take to break something in it.

It's a patched ball or jag with a patch stuck in the bottom. I can see that it's white and when I finally found my ball puller I didn't getthe ball but got a few threads caught on the end out.

That's good to know. I knew pretty much nothing about T/C's yesterday, never had one pop up cheap enough, it/s all been CVA and Traditions. Learned quite a bit in a day between what I found on my...

It is the Hawken, the barrel is 15/16". Something else I was going to measure while I was in there and forgot it. The last 2 inches looks like the rifling is gone.

I don't know where Selkirk mountain is, but I'ma bit farther north than Florida and I use the same ingredients as CASTAWAY, just 2:1:2. Paraffin's cheaper though so that recipe's better.

I can't even remember the old ones I used to get that were that big. Instead of the lining they had the desiccant in the top.
On the plus side I now know how many Freestyle's fit in a SFRB.
