What is the difference between a 92 and a 94?

FatJackDurham

What needed to be done with the barrel bands to make it shoot better?

FatJackDurham

That is really cool! I assume tht is round tip punch.

FatJackDurham

Obviously, reloading is saving you money. At that volume of shooting, I'd say even buying a new setup would be economical.

I guess that is normal for a heavy shooting family like yours, but it seems like to me you're almost a production shop. Do you have your own boxes, too?

Wow" 176,000 rounds over 11 years equals 50 rounds a day, every day. What is your day like? 6 am - shoot alarm clock. Double tap plus one for insurance. 6:15 am - turned shower on by shooting the spinner target attached to the tap. Two rounds, hot and cold. 6:30 am - fired a warning shot at my ...

I think it's far out that someone here is talking to his brother. Fantastic oral history!

No place near that i know of to use a glider as we live in the woods, some big fields around but no hills. Rusty wonder how that guy hooks that cable back up for the landing. :lol: All i want to do is lift off the ground, i was thinking about a glider wing on a trailer behind the truck. Cable from ...

Thanks. Good food for though. I am dreaming of escaping. My wife and I are amicably looking at a divorce. When that happens, I'm selling the house, quitting the job, buying the cheapest travel camper I can afford and heading out. Is it still a mid life crisis if you are planning it out? Our prayers ...

FatJackDurham

Rusty - spinning launch? Seriously? Can you dig up a link? Adirondack Jack - that is terrible. A fellow died here last year in a kit built helicopter. He had take lessons, but the engine died during a landing pass. Pitchy - I have always wanted to fly since high school. My high school had a AFJROTC ...

Is it still a mid life crisis if you are planning it out?

FatJackDurham

Nice. I might buy a Stevens Favorite this coming week. It has a split in the stock near the tang. Do you think it can be wood glued or fixed n some way?

FatJackDurham

In want to get a new rear sight for my Rossi 92, which is the Interarms variety. I saw a thread where people suggested stippling the bottom of the site to tighten it in the oversized dovetail.

What is stippling?

FatJackDurham

Lostowl didn't say the pistol was going to be used in competition. I know it's hard for some of you to understand another angle to the need. I for one don't see the need for a whole bunch of Colts saa or their look alikes. Yes, I need a couple, but after that something else make the collection more...

The 357 limits the field. If you could go 45, My choice would be a Uberti Russian Scofield. Although I do already have a Beretta Stampede 357 amd I was able to get a buck with it. Here is my New Model Three Smith and Wesson made by Uberti for the Beretta line a few years back called a Laramie. Owen...

FatJackDurham

Thanks and you are welcome, you guys sort it out who gets what. Double thanks for the browning guide link. Wish I'd had it last night. Aside, I see the forum computer edited my post a tad. I've gone back through and correct a couple of words to not irritate the admins. Don't want to get in trouble. ...

FatJackDurham

Wuh-huhn.

FatJackDurham

Kimwook,

Are those actual colts? No problem with a short barrel and accuracy?

DarrelH,

Nebraska it is,

FatJackDurham

Mmmmm. Wabbit.

It's really flat there.....

FatJackDurham

After testing a DIY cold blue product yesterday, I decided to go ahead and try to clean up some corrosion damage on a Rossi 92 .357 Magnum I bought last week. I shot it for the first time today with .38 spl 158 grn LRN and .357 mag 158 gr FNSJ. It showed that I hadn't shot a gun in 5 years, but I wa...

FatJackDurham

I will. I think I will start a new thread for it, and put step by step photos.

See you there!

FatJackDurham

DarryH, what is your part of the Country? I want to take a vacation out there!

Kimwook, you are probably right. The SAA seems to hold very nicely. The one Remmie I found felt a little nose heavy. It seemed the grip felt smaller to me than an SAA.

FatJackDurham

Yeah, I agree. Sadly, all they seem to have around here are Rugers. I finally found a store that has some variety, so I was able to finally get the feel of a birds head. However, I need to wait about a month for post Christmas inventory to come in. The best thing to do is to visit a well-stocked toy...

http://www.viciousbunny.net/images/GunBlueBand.JPG Before and after, using Birchwood Casey. I only did the band, to test. I don't want to use the blue stripper on the barrel because I won't be able to match the factory black. I think I will use a flapper wheel and a dremel and see if I can't de-rus...

FatJackDurham

I love how the navy wasn't really a navy gun, and the conversion wasn't really a conversion, and the Saa wasn't called the saa.

Great articles.

FatJackDurham

Also, what about Birchwood Casey products? Are they the same as th Vans and Oxspho?

FatJackDurham

Okay, what about oiling? All of the directions say to oil the gun after the desired blue is reach. I assume this is one of those things that is so obvious no one needs to explain it.... But.... Is it the same oil that you use in a cleaning kit? Is. It simply a matter of wiping a thin coat of oil on ...

FatJackDurham

Yeah, I am holding out that I may stumble across a used Remmie 1875 in 357, however, I think I'll find a golden goose before that happens.

FatJackDurham

Hopkins & Allen rolling block .22, probably a model 722, Indian engraving on the receiver, about 100 years old, dead nuts accurate to 75 yards, occasionally ruptured one cartridge out of five, you know, just to keep you interested. Bought for $120, sold for $50. I didn't know you could get the c...

FatJackDurham

I was hoping for the same round as my rifle. Is there a Schofield 357?

FatJackDurham

Anyone know anything about Hartford Armory? I was surprised they are descended from John Fitch, who was also one of my Great-etc Uncles. I wonder if they give a family discount..... Anyway, I was reading about their 1875 and their literature says their frames were milled and not cast. Are Uberti cas...

FatJackDurham

I saw some Ubertis the other day. They are nice.

FatJackDurham

Cool! What do you mean some assembly by you? Can I order the parts individually and have a gunsmith assemble it? I aske because it's hard to find what I am thinking of. I got lucky with the Rossi, dark wood finish. I'd like a similar finish on the grips of my revolver, 7 inch barrel, bisley hammer, ...

FatJackDurham

I am planning to augment my Rossi .357 with a revolver, but I can't think straight about what to get. I originally planned for a .357, but after seeing a Convsion in .38 spl, I am thinking there is no need for such a heavy revolver. But what to get? A ruger is right out. Don't want one. I want the l...

FatJackDurham

Dang, this thread ain't fair. My dad was a hippie. I got his bible, does that count?

FatJackDurham

That top break is the bomb!

FatJackDurham

That looks promising. I like that it is not a paint. Btw, SteveR, my real name is Steve, last initial R. ^_^ I found a great product at a recent gun show that out performs any existing cold blue product I've seen. It's a solution that you just brush on (an old toothbrush was used), and it penetrates...

FatJackDurham

That is awesome!!!

FatJackDurham

I wikipedia'd blue after I read your post that it was oxidation. Very interesting....

FatJackDurham

FatJackDurham

Cool! I considered that, but didn't have the scratch for it.

FatJackDurham

What is Blueing? Is it a kind of plating, or enamel, or a paint? Or anodizing? My Rossi has some cosmetic damage on the barrel band and the tip of the barrel. I wondered if that could be improved with polishing and re-bluing, but should I pay someone to do it or can it be done at home? Also, I once ...

FatJackDurham

Recently I was agonizing over whether my first lever gun should be a Steven's Favorite .22 or a Rossi 92 .357. The Rossi won on the bore. The Steven's bore was ugly. I was reading the thread here about the Steven's Favorite, and they were talking about relining the barrel. I wondered what that was, ...

FatJackDurham

Lever guns, as fun to shoot as they are to load the next round.

FatJackDurham

Yes, I know, I called him for advice about the price and some corrosion pitting on the site band and tip of the barrel. His tip to test the lever action and examine the bore for corrosion damage was invaluable. I had the store clerk cycle a few rounds an provide a bore light. KNJ also advised the ea...

FatJackDurham

Good morning and happy new year. I just bought an Interarms Rossi .357 and I can't wait to take it out. I look forward to meeting you all and learning a lot. I'm not big into guns, I used to be in the Guard, and owned a Kalashnikov, a Baretta M9, and a sweet Hopkins and Allen rolling block .22 I wis...
