Its kinda like after driving that Cadillac you no longer want to take the Chevy on a road trip! :D My Goonerized 62 Police and Remmy are slicker than owl snot. The main thing is a stock hammer spring is SO heavy on a Repro Remmy it makes me not want to shoot the ones that have not had the...

Hey Guys, I hope all of you are doing well and enjoy the Holidays. :D My Dad is a proud new owner of a Henry Big Boy brass Frame 44 Mag! The thing is absolutely GORGEOUS and shoots very good. Although it HATES Hornady Leverevolution ammo and much prefers a 240 grain bullet. We were sighting...

I've got a couple boxes of TC .50 320gr Maxiballs that won't fit in 2 rifles I've tried them on. I tried them in a CVA Plainsman and save for a hammer and a punch they would not even start to go down the barrel. And the Thompson Hawken doesn't like them either. Good grief I think I need to add a...

I just had to drop a line in here and give props to Goons gun works. I got my two pistols back that I sent him. He did a phenomenal job on these. They are the slickest operating Single action I have ever held in my hands. The triggers are oh so sweet. He turned a normal everyday Italian Repro...

My brother bought these at an auction and gave em to me. .303 M63 plastic projectile. Neat little collectors item.

Well I guess I'm finally going to own an AK. I walked in my small town hardware store and there it was on the rack. What a nice solid rifle. So I plopped down a down payment and with the stores generous layaway program, it allows a guy like me to slowly widdle away at that price tag while still...

Hey guys, do any of you have a recoil buffer in you SKS? If so do they work well and stay put? My Russian could def. use one. I got the rifle already modified with a ridiculous dragunov lookin stock and a scope mount receiver cover. So I need to locate an original type cover before putting in a...

So there I was, giving both my nagant revolvers a coat of Ballistol. This is the first time I've used the stuff. When I was done, I figured what the heck, I gave that old hard Russian leather holster a coat of it too. And folks right before my very eyes it made that old tough holster soft and...

The hammer on this 51 Navy, (I presume it's an ASP) has what I call over travel. When the revolver goes fully cocked you can still pull the hammer down a good bit. Do ALL the repro open tops do this? If so I don't like it, doesn't feel right at all. It's just WEIRD. The timing is spot on and the...

The comments on the Manurhin thread (spelling) got me to thinking. How much punishment from full 357 mag loads can a J Frame Smith take? Say for instance my 60-15. I don't plan to run thousands of 357's through it, I'm just curious. It will probably see a steady diet of 38spl and 38spl +P. And...

Hey guys, what is the safest way to buy from a website with an out of state private party. Of course I would prefer dealing locally, but the item in question is something that I can't find locally. The seller says he will ship to my FFL no problem, and payment can be made by PayPal as a gift or...

Is it difficult to find a gunsmith nowdays to do an install of a new barrel? I have a brand new M48 Barrel and one of these days I will find a nice M48 in need of a new barrel. Why did I buy the barrel? LOL, well because it was chump change and BRAND NEW, how often do you see a new barrel for...

Hey guys I need some help choosing a full size double stack 9mm. I am capping my price to about 350. I've been eyeballing the following, TP9 ( don't like the SAO TP9SA), a used 5906 ( I've had one of these in the past and loved it), EAA Witness, SAR BP6, Arcus 98DA, And the other Canik guns like...

Hey Guys, I'm absorbing all the info I can from the net on casting and reloading for my Pietta 1873. Should I slug the bore before ordering a mold? Or do you guys just use a .454 mold and sizer? I'm mainly going to load black powder or substitute rounds for it. I may go smokeless with the same...

I shared this in a thread in the Black powder and CASS section, but I figured my wheel gun friends would like to see. It's a Traditions 1873 Frontier, 5.5" barrel, color case hardened frame, blued barrel and cylinder, chambered in 45 Colt. I went with the transfer bar model. This thing is super...

Get em while they last boys, who knows when they will be available again. Just passing it on

I just picked this up this evening. My wife's cousin does leather work on the side. I had him make this out of 7/8 leather with a little forward cant to it. This thing fits the gun SO good and hugs my body close. With just an untucked Tshirt it disappears.

Hey Guys, I have my first 45 on the way. I want to load my own rounds using black powder or equivalents. What is a good Bullet mold that is designed for black powder use for the 45 Colt? And can I use the same homemade lube that I use to lube my cap and ball revolvers? Its a mixture of beezwax...

Hey guys, I just wanted to share the light refinish I did on my Type 53. I still wanted it to look like a battered war horse and not a new one. So I just ensured all the cosmoline was out of the stock the best I could then I sanded the stock but not so much as to take all the dents and dings out...

I just went and put one on order. I had to support my small town hardware store, so I had him order it for me. He was happy to get my business. I ordered the 5.5" barrel model with the color case hardened frame and Walnut grips chambered in 45 Colt. I can't wait to fire these big slugs. A set of...
