I just picked up one of the used Model 64's from J&G Sales, and couldn't be happier with the deal. It's a 64-6, excellent condition as advertised, shoots to POA, and the cylinder timing is perfect. It's DA only with bobbed hammer which I'm OK with since I've been working on becoming a DA only...

I should know this, but I don't and --- there are no stupid questions. Right? Are there any special laws or regulations regarding the shipping or receiving of live amunition from say one member to another? Is a FFL required? Is USPS OK? Does it need to be declared? The deal I'm interested...

I just received my first set of Lee dies (32 S&W), after a lifetime of owning only RCBS. Hmmmmm. Don't know if I can get used to the non-locking lock ring concept. I'm trying to remain open minded. Anyone got any comments or tips? jd

Our new family member was just delivered, and he's cute as a bug. The little devil is six and a half inches long and weighs one pound, seven ounces.:rolleyes: This is our first snubby, and our second hammerless revolver.(I've got a nice old lemon squeezer) We spent some time last night...

I stopped by our local shop on my way home today and ordered a S&W M-640 for the sum of five hundred and eighty-odd US dollars. It kinda hurt because the Taurus equivalent (don't know the model #) was sitting there in stock for $329.-- but Mrs. jd don't want no stinkin Taurus. I'll probably...

Has anyone out there got an older book that shows data for AL-7 with cast bullets in 38 Special? I'm thinking maybe the older Lyman Cast Bullet Handbook. The only data I've got is my old Sierra book (copyright 1974), and it is for jacketed bullets. It lists 9.0 grains as max. with CCI 500...

My buddy gave me his Taurus 605 snubby to play with for awhile, and asked me if I thought it had a serious problem. The problem was that it often was reluctant to lock up to the "in battery" position. The cylinder release button wouldn't snap back reliably, and this not only prevents the...

Hi Guys, this isn't my usual hangout on the forum, but I'm trying to help a friend who doesn't do computers. He is trying to find the current value of the above mentioned machine gun, which he possesses along with accessories such as tripod, jeep mount, spare barrels etc.. He's had his fun...

This is my latest diversion. I'm looking for ideas on light, safe, and smokeless loads for my top break 32 hammerless. I've got dies and a 90 gr. mold on the way. Anyone try Trailboss for this application? I'd appreciate any response, even if it's the black powder lecture.;) jd

I'm wondering if any of you adventurers have ever created 32 S&W brass by trimming down 32 Auto? How does it work? Any case capacity difference? The rim of the auto brass, while smaller diameter, seems large enough for extraction purposes. It is also thinner, which makes for more gaposis...

I just picked up my new 32 S&W Lemon Squeezer that I found at our local gun show a month or so ago. The seller held it for me until I could get the bucks up. (nice guy) As ya can see (if my pictures worked), it's blued:), and in pretty nice shape. I'd say mechanically it's 100%, and the bore...

We just attended the CCW class for Mrs. jds permit yesterday, and of course got home with a few questions that we should have asked in class. We are Oregonians who live near the CA border. The instructor said that in California, firearms in vehicles must be carried in a locked container...

I've gotta know. Do any of you carry your hammerless single action autos - I guess you call them striker fired- with one in the hole and the safety on. I've talked to a few guys lately who do, and am kinda thinkin :eek::eek:. Is this stupid or am I just an old hen? I've never considered it to...

AH-HA!! I think I've done it! Here's a pic of my little sweetheart. I call it my peashooter. Got her at a gunshow for $195, and she's mechanically perfect. Finish is a little rough, which is a blessing. If it was better, I probably wouldn't want to shoot it. And it does shoot very good. I...

I spent a few hours today shooting, and shooting at, ground squirrels. As usual, I am kind of disappointed with my performance at longer ranges. The rig I am using is a .222, Remington 700, with a Leupold 3-9 scope. It is a sub MOA shooter (sometimes 1/2 MOA), and I'm currently shooting 40...

Well I finally got to the point where I had more cases that needed trimming, than ones that didn't for my old 218 Bee. Over the years, I've obtained the Lee trimmers for all of my cartridges except this one; don't think they make one. Sooo, I haul out the old RCBS Rotary Case Trimmer that has...

I just saw Wesley Clark on "Geraldo Live" pleading to reinstate the ban on assault weapons so that we could staunch the flow of "machine guns" into Mexico. This guy, a general I guess, obviously knows the difference between assault weapon and machine gun, but conveniently avoids mentioning it...

I just heard a blurb on my local radio station suggesting that the Karuk (sp?) Indian Tribe was researching the possibility of reintroducing the California condor into the Klamath River canyon where it hasn't been seen for ---?.. If I'm not mistaken, there are now areas in California where lead...

I finally got some of the 40 grain V-Max Hornady's loaded and grouped in my 222 Rem. ADL. My rifle has a 24" (including chamber) barrel, with a 1 in 14" twist. It's seen better days, and many thousands of shots, but it will still shoot. My scope is a Leupold 3x9, and I just installed new two...
