I have 2 rifles with peeps front and rear, and 1 with open sights. For the competitions I shoot I do need to use open sights at times, but I do get better accuracy with the peep sights. For most matches I use Williams or Lyman rear sights and a Lyman 17 front sight, with Lee Shaver inserts. Even if ...

Us Aussies must be a little bit smarter than kalifornian hikers, b'cause even I knew the cat would be above the trail if they followed it around the bend.

Must admit though, that would be one heck of an adrenaline rush.

Heck, we resurrected an old one here. I recently switched from Lil'gun to 296 as I was not happy with the heating of the barrel that Lil'gun produced. 296 seems to give the same performance with less powder and much less heat. MP300 is said to be good, but we have trouble getting a steady supply of ...

If demand exceeds supply WHY are they shutting down factories?! Probably because the old factories date back to the 70s and produce less precise work, due to wear in the machinery,and produce at a slower rate. A new factory should increase production, and improve quality. If my assumption is correc...

Wasn't there a thread a couple months ago saying that Rossi was shutting down its multiple factories and then restarting with one new factory?

gundownunder

The Williams FP is not suitable because CLAS rules require that the sight be made for the rifle, and as the Rossi is not D&T for a receiver sight it cannot be used. The rifle already has the second hole in the tang so a tang sight would be the logical answer. How good are the Taurus tang sight a...

Need some help sorting out sights for my brothers, new to him, Rossi rifle. It's a 24" octagonal barreled 92 in .357, which predates the wingnut safety. It currently has a set of front and rear firesights, but these are too course for long range accuracy and don't have the correct height for ra...

Kind of reaffirms my thoughts about modern primers. I have had primers turn in the feed tube in my press, and I have completely mangled them in the press without setting them off. These things are not as delicate as history would have us believe. That doesn't mean I'm gonna rush out and buy a bunch ...

I really cannot believe that the 45 Colt/long colt issue is still doing the rounds. In 1871, Smith and Wesson patented the 45 Schofield. The US army used both the 45 Schofield, and the 45 Colt peacemaker. The Schofield rounds would feed through the Peacemaker revolvers but the Colt round would not f...

When you read about economy or power increases with after market add-ons you will notice that they pretty much all say "UP TO" when they talk about improvements. So "up to 10%", means, "from 0% to 10% depending on how you drive, the phase of the moon, or how much liberty we ...

Lee's second ed is a very useful book to have, as is Lyman's cast bullet handbook. The Cast Boolits website will give you information overload. As far as what bullets fit, in Lee's book you have drawings and dimension data for the cartridges, on Accurate's site you have drawings and dimension data f...

I'm not a fan of Lee molds, bought a couple of them and won't buy any more. I am a fan of Accurate molds. I already have Accurate molds for my 32-20 and 357, and will shortly be getting a mold for the 30-30 that I was just offered. It is a Marlin microgroove, so will be looking at getting .310 - .31...

It's all an anti-gun crusade Think about it, if they were seriously concerned about pollutants, wouldn't they ban smoking? Cigarette smoke contains 1,000s of chemicals, including many known cancer-causing (carcinogenic) compounds and many other toxins. These cigarette ingredients include lead , cad...

I don't know about destroying the barrel, but you may destroy accuracy till you get around to cleaning the barrel. I have seen a couple of write ups where somebody claims to use a couple of jacketed bullets to clean the lead out. I don't know if it cleans it out or just smears it in but if it works ...

Nice looking piece Pitchy.

I'm never likely to even see a Bob Munden tuned peacemaker, but I'll keep dreaming that one day one of his 7.5" barreled, .357 magnum, Colts will magically fall into my lap.

In the meantime, you enjoy that gun and cherish it.

Thanks guys, Wina is really happy that so many people are congratulating her on a job well done. Old Ironsights, I had no choice in the training tool, the 357 is the biggest gun I own, and it's what I've been using for CLAS for the past 6 years. I guess I will need to go shopping for a new gun for m...

DUH, ALL OF THEM.

but in particular, the 2 leverguns, 9422 Winchester and BLR .222.

There are no import restrictions on sights, only on gun parts used to make a firearm, such as actions and barrels.

Not made in the USA. Neither is Winchester. Marlin is made in the USA, but who wants to buy one these days. They are not an easy gun to take apart. True, but they don't need to be taken apart all that often. Take it to a gun smith for an annual service. They are butt ugly with the pistol grip, but w...

Yeh, I thought it might be a bit OTT, but thought I'd chuck it in there anyway.
How about cast pewter, or zinc bullits. I also recall seeing somewhere that you could buy a scintered (spelling?) copper bullet, would that be available in 375.

gundownunder

I'd just pack up the 375, and anything else I want to keep, and move out of Kalifornia.

The glove compartment has a fork in it along with a dozen cans of tuna and beans, or tuna and rice.
It isn't gourmet, but it will keep body and soul together for several days.

Welcome to the 21st century. 200 years ago you would have gone after your deer with a muzzle loader, would you have grabbed a 30-30 if it was available then? 100 years ago you would have gone out to the deer fields in a horse and cart, would you have taken the Jeep if it was available then? If you w...

Well done. I also have the 1894 CL 32-20, and have always thought it would make a top little caliber for foxes and dogs. I use mine for pistol caliber cowboy silhouette and classic caliber lever action competition. My cast bullets are from an Accurate mold, .314 105 gr, with about 12 gr of 2205 (422...

Between shooting, casting, and reloading, I don't have time for anything else.

I read a bit about this PC coating and gave it up as too much mucking about. I now use Hitek, it's a lot easier. 5 pounds of bullets, 1 teaspoon of coating, shake for 30 sec, dump on a tray and bake at 400f for 10 minutes. Allow enough time to cool and then repeat. A pound of Hitek should do about 2...

I think you will find that pointing is a natural instinct in all dogs. The pointing breeds are just bred to enhance that natural talent. There is a line of pointing labs available which would have been bred over time from the few dogs they found which displayed the same natural talent as your dog. I...

Is it a "classic"
When you find out let us know, because a 24" carbine would definitely go on my "I want" list. I'm assuming that it is a 30-30.

OK, so I just got back in again after 48 hours. There is a thread on the site about something fishy going on. Apparently it hasn't affected everybody but has had an effect on quite a few people.
There is a suggestion that it was a malicious attack.
Oh yeh, I did mean Cast Boolits.

Anyone know whats going on over at the Castbullits website. I click on the link and get a huge security warning and can't access the page. Have they been hacked or something?

What are you people trying to teach this guy. Here in Oz we would not say "no". It just wouldn't be the right thing to do. Our response would be a heck of a lot more colorful, and would contain at least 3 F's. I also think he's got a cheek sending your sister, instead of growing a couple o...

So I started to work up a new load for my Marlin 20" cowboy in .357 I had Accurate make up a new mold for me, (Gotta say, I love Tom's work) 358-175B. With the minor mods I had Tom put in, it comes in right at 180gn. I had the gas check shank taken off and added an extra TL groove to return bal...

Personally I don't give a tinkers where you send them, as long as it isn't down here.
We've got more than our fair share of homegrown liberal retards.

Just a thought, could you send them all to Kalifornia and get Don to put up a wall between there and America as well as the Mexican wall.

I feel for you guys.
We don't get the facts here, only the BS the media feeds us.
General opinion here seems to be, "god help America if he gets in"
I'm with you guys,"god help America if she gets in".
I'd be stocking up on gold, food, and bullets either way.

Stupid people doing stupid things. I can see someone getting seriously hurt or killed as a result of the BS pranks these people are playing at.

Some of the RMS boys shell out a couple grand on a rifle and a few grand more for a fancy scope, and then at a championship shoot get their collective butts handed to 'em on a plate by a CLAS shooter with a $900 iron sighted Winchester (no, it wasn't me).

I use a 39A Marlin, which seems the most popular choice in rimfire. Pistol caliber depends on my mood, sometimes my open sighted Marlin 32-20 CL, sometimes my peep sighted Marlin 357 cowboy. For the rifle caliber match I use my 357 with a 180 gr bullet pushed to 1750 fps, which I think is about all ...

Sorry Ji, it isn't through a loop hole, the Adler is neither a semi-auto nor a pump action, so therefore is not an illegal action.

The systemized production of ammunition, including the automated loading or reloading of ammunition.

I think they'd be stretching it to call a hand operated reloading press either systemized, or automated.
Even a full progressive press is still a hand operated tool.
