This is my favorite and has been for many years. Sad to say I can no longer partake due to health reasons but all the scotch drinkers I introduced it to loved the smooth taste and great flavor.

Yep, my grandson has shot my 22rf Contender carbine and opening it is a bit of a challenge. My main idea was so he could learn more on a regular rifle. The grip on a Contender is just different...

Thanks, everyone!! All the responses have given me a lot of ideas to go with. Now it's just to find a good base gun to use locally.
Thanks again, I knew I would get good answers on this board.

I was just sitting here on my grandson's 9th birthday and got to thinking about an ideal little carbine for him to carry when we go exploring the woods together. I figured a single shot is perfect to...

My daughter's kids love the outdoors, especially hiking. As each one gets to 5yrs old I gift them a hiking staff. They go on hiking outings with other homeschooled kids and now they are the envy of...

I sure remember Fox Ridge Outfitters! There were a lot of barrels I wanted to order but I had a family to take care of and cash went to other things. Now I can and no custom shop. The way Smith &...
Here is the whole carbine.291790
Years ago I trimmed down the
forend to a classic look.

As far as I know, T/C never made a carbine barrel in 41. That's why I had to go the custom route. Now with S&W dropping production of all T/C items custom is it. Dealing with Haus of Arms was...

I've always wanted one and I finally broke down and ordered it from Marty at Haus of Arms. It is a custom SSK barrel in .41mag. 18" long and tapered like the original carbine barrels. I can't wait to...

I took some sheet metal and made a wind deflector that goes around my CI sauce pan. Keeps heat concentrated on the pot so heats up quicker. Side benefit, it keeps end of handle of ladle cooler as...

I too enjoy casting. The sizing gets to be tiresome if I goof up the pressure screw on my RCBS sizer. It seems casting in my basement with a kitchen hood with exhaust fan works ok for the quantities...
Just bought a new barrel for the Contender Carbine. It's a SSK .41mag barrel 18" long with the taper
of the factory barrel. I ordered it through Haus of Arms and it took a while (custom made) but I...

I haven't read every post ever posted, but was wondering if the scalloped type bullet of the Honey Badger type is possible in a cast boolit mold. It seems it would take boolit hardness out of the...
Years ago I switched from Unique to Universal when they talked about how much cleaner it burned. Didn't really seem all that much cleaner to me, but I still like to use it. In fact, I have used it...
Forum: Boolit Lube !
I haven't tried any other lube than the RCBS lube that came with my sizer. I cast .41, .44, and .45 mostly and being in my 60's don't feel a big need to push them hard. I've been thinking about...
With this sickness ever end? I have 3 S&W 57's (4", 6-1/2", 8-3/8") and a Henry Big Boy. Now I added a OM Blackhawk (4-5/8").
I feed all of them with my only handload of a RCBS 41-210-SWC (WW) over...

Buy a cheap skil saw blade and lay on the electric hotplate burner. Even heat to sit the mould on. Build a little brace out of scrap wood to help hold the handle up on smaller molds. Works great and...
Not sure what the rest of you run into day in day out, but for my 41's a load of 8gr Universal under a RCBS 41-210-SWC boolit seems to work out just fine. If you have fun with recoil have at it, but...
Forum: Boolit Lube !
What's the best way to get any lube that happens to be on the base of the boolit cleaned off? Don't want powder to stick to it when nose down in boxes.

I haven't reloaded for my 25/20 yet. It is a special run TCA barrel for the Contender Carbine.
Sweet little carbine with either the wood or fiberglass stock on it.

I just took the plunge and bought the 4-20 myself. My new pot has a threaded rod without the adjustment screw and instead of a wood knob, it has a heavy steel one for weight to shut off the flow....
