Techno,
I have refaced a couple of Martini's with off center firing pin holes, or holes too large which caused the primer to flow around the pin and mechanically interfere with the block's...

Gotta love an old roller!

Techno, How was the conversion "done poorly"?

I ordered some dowel pins from McMaster/Carr some years ago. Probably paid around $10 for a package of 50. If I recall, the decap pins are not exactly the same diameter or length as comes in the...

contact: rollingblockparts.com Great guy, will hook you up.

Forge ahead! There is a Martini #12 in the "shop" (really my garage's third bay) waiting for its day. I found a new barrel blank at a gun show and had to pay the princely sum of $10 for it. It too...

john.k, Tempering at 375 to 400 degrees does not affect the colors. Not sure at what temperature that might happen but no problems so far.

Thanks for the warning John.k. I looked for information on the cadet and color case hardening. I had actually done a little research before doing the work on the rifle in the post. I normalize the...

Notes from previous contributors mentioned Martini cadet rifles. I have become more than fond of them. I have them in .22lr 22 hornet, 218 Bee, 218 Mashburn Bee and the latest one in 32H&R Mag. ...

Love your post Wolfie! Keep 'em comin'

As usual, you guys bailed me out. I will most likely follow Bent Ramrod's advice. I have a lathe and had envisioned using it to make the part. Lyman wanted $35 to make one. I am way too cheap for...

I did it again. I bid on an item that was not as good a deal as I thought. Don't worry, I will probably do it again. This time it was a Lyman 457122AV single cavity mold. Has anyone made a...

I took the thermostat cover off and found the connections good. The grounding lead was not connected. Maybe the previous owner was trying to use the pot, as was, accepting an electric shock...

Unfortunately, there is no model number shown on the pot. It is 5 1/4" wide and 5" deep. I hope that helps. I got it used at an estate sale.

Gunther, I appreciate the thought. I have a Lee pot that works just fine. I was just hoping to resurrect the Saeco, but not for the steep price for the element recommended in the sticky section. ...

Thanks steveu, I looked but found only the one for $127 from McMaster Carr. I am looking for a cheaper alternative.

I finally took my lead pot out of storage and thought I would rebuild it. I got an electrical shock from it the last time I used it so it needs a rebuild. I investigated the links and history...

NikA.... read your pm.:coffeecom

Will trade 8x56, 38 primed cases with PPU headstamp. The cases look like they were fired at least once. Willing to check for head separation if anyone asks. I have no history on these. I'm looking...

Will trade 8x58, 19 newly formed 8x58 RD cases made with RP 45-70. The cases look like new unfired. Have no history on these. I'm looking for 45=70 cases in new or once fired condition as a...

The trigger return spring can be swapped for one from Rollingblockparts.com. Or you can make your own using music wire. If you do a search here you will find threads on that. The mainspring is...

I like to do a quick reloading job on my home-built stand made from $" diameter pipe and scrap steel I had. The tubing at the top allows for some shelf supports to be attached on the side towards...

An acquaintance of mine recommended using the undercoat spray for automotive wheel wells. I produces a rubber like pebble texture. I use various camo patterns using live leaves, grass, ferns, etc to...

Racepres, My first Ruger wo/22 was about the same vintage. I bought it used. It had 2 rails for the bolt to ride in cast or machined into the top of the receiver. I think that gave the bolt more...

At last count, I think I have 6 10/22's. My experience closely resembles Gtek's, although I was a little later entering the game. That was back in the 80's. All of my 10/22's feed like ravenous...
