Re: Need some help/advice with a S&W model 59

No, very definitely not factory rears. So if Bubba got in and did that, what else may have been done? Just did a quick internet search, the orginal S&W ones are pricy, but there's plenty of aftermarket available. My $00,000.02 worth, lose the rear adjustable and get a fixed. Once you get one in...

Need some help/advice with a S&W model 59

Recently got my hands on a S&W Model 59 in great condition, wonderful trigger! :D However with regular Winchester factory loads it shoots about 8" high at 10 yards with the rear sight wound right down. :( I have not been able to find a replacement rear sight. Any help or advice gratefully a...

I posted this as I really thought it would be cool to share the significance of such a fine historic gun that comes around once in a lifetime in the hands of regular people, and if they do, they rarely get shared with common folk like us on Leverguns. Guns like this are always in the hands of the s...

I tried some 30wcf at a range once. It was ok but one case ended up like this; http://i117.photobucket.com/albums/o65/Nath_bucket/2012bike003.jpg N. If this is their headstamp I have been reloading some of their 30-30 brass for sometime and did not know it :!: :D Brass seems good quality to me.

Well I have no 35 Whelen dies and my 38-55 set has no neck expander so I decided to try Ted's method.

All I know is I'm happier than a pig in stink with the way this little model 70 is setup & shoots. It'll drop a deer with absolute confidence from 0 to 200 yards. At 50 it's smack on, at 100 it's 2" high, at about 150 it's back to smack on, at 200 it's 3" low. = meat in the freezer :w...

I won't speak for Six, but I would guess his method is similar to mine. 5 gr. of Red Dot or similar fast pistol powder. Fill up the remainder of the case with Cream of Wheat. Top off with a wax plug.
