Lucked into this 1905HE in 32Win. Had been somebody else’s project. The frame has been milled to accept a K38 adj rear sight. The front sight blade had been cut off leaving the shank which was slotted at .059”and crude piece of flat stock was cross pinned in with 3 pins. Not the quality of work...

Shot some 38sp WCs this morning in m52 & m52-1 S&Ws this morning. Only shoot 2 pistols. Just bought the the one 2nd from right and wanted to try it out. The one with Herett grips on right is my go to shooter. The latest acquisition has some blue off, mostly from target weight scooting around. I...

Getting a small collection of J frames built up on trade deals. Most are old models. I’m anxious to try out the 34-1 snubby, already shot with the Round Butt factory grips and didn’t do that well. Put J frame Targets on it and think it will do better. In past I could always do better with the...

Last week I got into a flurry of deals. Picked up a pair of M36s, a snubby and 3” model. I finally decided I needed a gut buster. I don’t normally carry but when I do it has been a Commander 45. Everything else I own are 3lb guns, most 6” or better to open. The 3” I put a set of J Target grips...

Just got a nice unfired Gen 2 SAA 5.5” Colt. It is never been fired but has some blems. It’s also WVa commemoration model. Not what I really wanted but price was right. I haven’t had a Colt SAA since back in 60s when they were $179, twice the price of Ruger Blackhawk. What I really wanted was...

Up front I’ve loaded for close to 60 yrs. Loaded 223 since it came out , for bolt actions. Used BC-L2 / 55gr bullets. Now I have broke down and bought AR-15. I want to load GI dupe for 55gr FMJs. What is the most economical powder to do this? I’ve not used many of the powders on market today...

Friday drove 50mi on $5 Gal gas to big outdoor Flea Market. It’s held once a month and a lot of gun and fishing stuff sold & traded. Prices on guns were crazy. People think all guns are gold, regardless of make, model or condition. Well the only thing I bought was a $3 lemonade. Walking in to...

I lucked into several lbs of Win 630. I’m in process of loading 44 special and 44mg will cast HBWC 214gr bullets. Would like to use this powder if possible. I have other powder I could use. Anyway looking for 700-750 FPS loads. I have found 630 in couple older manuals. Not much on cast bullets...

I just needed the 6x Leupold that was on my Win70 308. I’ve never had variable power scope bigger than 3x9. Anyway bought a Burris 6.5x20 on sale for $180. I’ve had good luck with Burris in past. This one seems to be no different. Very clear and takes adjustments perfect. My one complaint would...

I got original no dash 41. The magazines from S&W are marked 41-46-422- 622 ect. These mags fit but mag catch doesn’t lock on them. I know I could change parts in mag release but don’t want to do that. Has anyone modified these new mags by filing on the mag body? New mags $25 old used $100.

A buddy bought Rem 740, 30/06 against my advice. I had enough of Rem 742 problems years ago and have no use for any Rem auto rifles since demise of 81. The problem is when ejecting empties it is stoving up brass at case mouth and neck area. I have had 740s but never worked on one. Does anyone...

I'm not into collecting pocket guns but I do get a lot of them on trades. Usually unless collector grade they are hard to trade or sell. S&W or Colt in CF shooters seem to have become popular. Rim fires are really hard to off unless collector grade or 22 cal. I bought the S&W with a odd ball...

I just sold a nice 11/2 that had been reblued. Nice and tight and mechanically in good shape, good bore. Nice original grips. It sold quick at $250. The Cowboy crowd are looking for shooters for suspender guns, don't ask. I think they are starting hide out gun shoots. Sent from my iPad using...

Here is a page out of a hunting and trapping supply I recently bought in a lot at a estate sale. Pick out your Stevens, note price and send to me. I'm willing to pay New Price for it even used. LOL Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

A few months ago I bought a Savage 99eg in 250/3000. I really wanted a carbine model but 250s are hard to come by. The few 99s in my area are always 300sav or 303sav. This is a nice rifle made in 1950. I haven't shot the rifle very much yet. It was D&Ted so I scoped it to see if it shot or was...

Can somebody recommend a book that has complete listings of Sav 219 series rifles. I have a pile of different gun books and for some reason they lump them all together as kind of a after thought. I'm looking for a complete listing of the calibres this gun was made in and years avaible. The...

I made a stupid mistake. I bought a couple boxes of Hornady 90gr XTPs that were advertised as 30cal. They are I guess but I was not thinking anything but .308 when 30cal is mentioned. I wanted to try them out in 30/30. Several guys told me they would be OK to use in .308" guns. That .001 would...

I haven't owned a Ruger SA in 41mag for years. I had a couple BHs when 41mg was first out in the old 3screw model. I had 3, S&W m57s but traded them off. Now all I got is a 8 3/8" Nickle. I haven't really spent much time over the years on loads for 41mg. Have one mold a 210 SWC that I have used...
