    Sticking cylinder on S&W 8 shot .22 M63

    t is ...SPORADIC !! Seems to be only a segment of the cylinder. And a ...random... segment at that. I've cleaned everything. The ejector rod is tight. There is good lockup. Nearly imperceptible end play. It ...seems... to work "better" if I apply some upward pressure on the cylinder when...

    Really DUMB....THEORETICAL.... musing.

    For some reason I was wasting brain energy and wondering what would happen if a LIVE 45 ACP was loaded into, oh, say a 50 cal. muzzle loading rifle. Would the pressure detonate the primer in the ACP? Would it just be an odd projectile? What? :confused: :eek: Tolja it was a DUMB musing. :)

    45 ACP cylinder for a New Frontier 45 Colt 3rd gen?

    My NF is 1964 vintage with the non removable cylinder bushing. Gunsmith says he can fit it if I can find one. Anyone know of any source. New or used is OK. Used only if not buggered up. Thanks :)

    Remington 512 stubborn problem

    Still have my first gun. 512 Remington .22 Even has the hang tag. :) It developed a feeding problem a LONG time ago. 3 gunsmiths ...tried...(maybe) to fix but no go. Last one got it ...almost...right. Now it will feed all but the last round which jams up pointed down and TIGHT! The...

    I had a Glock 34

    Liked it. Didn't like the trigger overtravel. SuperGlued a piece of hose washer behind the trigger. VOILA !!! sweet! Then it came off. Could NOT get anything else to work. Sold the gun. I can't stand overtravel. :(

    SOMEWHAT a revolver....?

    Don't really know where to post this so please move if needed. I have a Rossi Circuit Judge. LEGALLY, it's a rifle but my question could also pertain to the Judge, which is legally a handgun. IF... while using .410 multi ball loads, which choke should be in the barrel? The gun comes with 2...

    45 Colt ....45 LOOONNNGGGG Colt with Bullseye

    Ordinarily I would use a different powder. With current conditions of shortages of everything, what I ...have... is 185 gr HBWC bullets and Bullseye powder. Is there a satisfactory load for the 45 Colt with 185 gr bullet and Bullseye powder? Don't need power. Or extreme accuracy. REASONABLE...

    Hotter loads in COLT SAA ?

    FIRST, I don't want to do it. The 45 Colt does everything I would want. :) But.....just curioius. The Colt ...NEW FRONTIER...SAA "looks" very Ruger-ish in frame size. So my question is: has anyone tried hotter loads in the NEW FRONTIER model? My...guess.. is that the limiting factor...

    Conversion cylinder for Colt SAA

    Since it seems that 45 Colt ammo will never again see an American gun store, I was wondering if a cylinder could be MADE for a Colt SAA that would chamber the ACP. Google shows same bore diameter for 45 Colt and 45 ACP. Is that correct? Anyhow, I wonder if a good machinist could create a 45...

    Finish on Portugal BHPs ??

    I have had a Browning Hi Power for 30 years and love the thing. "Assembled in Portugal." It is not blued. At first I thought it was paint, but it sure doesn't act like paint. Durable, easy to clean, not wearing off at all. I have no complaints even if I like the "appearance" of...

    Store magazines loaded?

    I think this has been asked before but I must be hitting the wrong search info. Should magazines be stored empty or full? Does the spring care? :confused:

    Best way to "break in" a SAA cylinder pin?

    Unfired Colt New Frontier. All stiff. I'm thinking graphite. Maybe penetrating oil and a lot of spinning and disassembly. That about it or try a light polish? Thanks :)

    Colt SAA ..... THIRD gen??

    I am considering a 45 Colt SAA and I guess 3rd gens are what is most available. Are they any good? Chief difference I can see is the cylinder bushing. But then Ruger has no bushing either and they seem to do fine. Any advice? Thx... :)

    Shoulder support/brace.... any out there?

    My friend on another forum can't shoot right handed anymore. His words: "Can't shoot right handed anymore. When the right lung (OK, half the lung) was removed last year, my ribcage was cracked open and the resulting nerve damage etc. has made it impossible to shoot even a .22. It's like being...

    Curing hammer bite. For me anyhow.

    Both 1911 and Hi Power used to bite me. Put some Altamont grips on the BHP snd stag on the 1911. The extra width stretches my thumb web enough to stop the hammer bite. Worth a try. :cool:
