Hello Every one, Been thinking about a project. I have a situation where I have access to a limited a quantity of .44-40 loaded ammo and .30-06 rifle cases. I was wondering if it was possible to have a S&W model 29 or Ruger Redhawk in .44 Magnum with a spare cylinder...

Hello all, As the title says, is there some bolt on type device that has a rail built into it so a flash light or a laser can be slid on? It has to be non drill/non gunsmithing/non permanant type, meaning easily removable without making any holes in the frame. Thanks, Anand

Greetings fellow members, Been trying to figure out what powder S&B uses for its 7.62x25 Tokarev cartridges. As far as I can tell from the velocity figures I have been getting from my own research and comparing these to the figures in the LEE reloading manual...

Greetings all, Have thought of this for a while now but is Powdercoating any different from such other finishes as duracoat? Would the 'baking' temperature be higher in the case of powder coating and thus possibly be damaging to the firearm(altering its heat treatment and...

If a 7.62x25 Tokarev or a 30 Mauser cartridge were to fit and function in a modern semiauto pistol and its magazine, one would have to either modify the firearm and magazine, which is expensive or modify the ammo itself. I prefer the latter choice...... There will be limitations ofcourse...

Hello everyone! I know there are bullet swaging dies available that will decrease the bullet diameter a few thousandths of an inch, as in wanting to make .308 in. diameter 7.62x25 Tokarev bullets out of .310 in. .32 ACP bullets. My question is: Is there a die or other contraption that could...

Hi, I would like to know the recoil spring weight(for stiffness) for the 7.62x25 Tokarev pistols. Searching on the net hasnt helped me neither has looking at the Wolff Gunsprings website. I would imagine that the 9mm spring weight would be between 14#s and 17#s, considering that the slide...

Hi, Is it dangerous to fire .32 S&W Long unjacketed lead bullets (95 grains at .312-.313 inches) in a .30 Luger Hi Power? So far there are no signs of high pressure and loading, ejection and accuracy are all fine. There has been no excessive leading although I have not fired more than 15...

Hello All, I was looking through MidwayUSA and came upon a "Lee lube & sizing die .309", in the bullet casting section. According to the reviews the die has been used to size down .312 jacketed bullets to .309 to fire in a 7.62x25 Tokarev. The questions I have are: 1. Can this same...

Greetings, I recently bought a W&S Mk IV .32 S&W Long, 4" barrel revolver. Its in like new condition except for a little piting on the right side of barrel near the muzzle. I havent shot it yet. I traded my Ruby Extra Revolver in .32 for it and then paid what is equivalent to $600...

Greetings, I came upon an unusual(for India) revolver.Its an Enfield Mk VI revolver with 6" barre, identical to the Webley & Scott Mk VI in .455 Calibre. The unsual part is that, at some point in its life it was converted to .32 S&W Long (not .22 LR which I have seen elsewhere)...

Greetings and glad that TFL is operational once more!!! I had my gunsmith convert my FEG Hi power from 9mm to 7.65mmP/.30 Luger last March, so that I could export it back to India( I moved to India in April 2003) As most might know the .30 Luger aftermarket barrels do not fit the 9mm slide as...

Is it safe to remove a live primer using the de priming die on a single stage press? Or will it be set off? Anand

My Gunsmith tells me that it might be difficult to sleeve a 9mm BHP barrel down to .30 Luger/Mauser, the reason being that the original 9mm barrel is silver soldered together from two components (chamber and barrel?) and when the sleeve is being silver soldered the original solder might melt...

Hi, I am new to reloading and have a question. This is specifically with regard to pulled 7.62x25 bullets(85 gr) being used in .30 luger cartridges. Since the cannelure on these bullets is further down from the tip on this bullet, than a standard .30 Luger bullet: Can I still crimp the...

Hi, I am currently experimenting with a 7.62x25 conversion for Hi power. The hurdle to overcome being, to reduce overall cartridge length to (1.175 in) fit the magazine. Now the only thing to do is to put in a bullet with a real short bullet or just deep seat the current 86 grain bullet to...

Greetings, I was looking at some stuff about forming .30 Luger cases from .223 Rem brass. Now I was wondering if the same case forming dies used to do this, could also be used to form .30 Luger cases from .30 Mauser or 7.62x25 Tokarev cases. Or do I need custom case forming...

Hi, As mentioned in some of my other posts, I am working on converting a Browning Hi Power to .30 Mauser & 7.62x25 Tokarev. These rounds in standard factory lengths are too long to fit the magazine of the Hi power. A custom 1/2 E Ogive is required to ensure magazine fit and smooth...

Hi, Have been thinking about getting into reloading for a few months now. Went to Cabela's in Dundee, MI and saw a Lee Anniversary Reloading kit for $64 with an 'O' Press. No dies are included. I dont have too much spare cash(kind of why I'm thinking of reloading in the first place) and...

I was reading Handguns Magazine and came across Jonthan Arthur Ciener Conversions Ad and itlisted the Hi power. I tried to find it on the website but it appears it has not been updated for quite a while. Any info or pictures? Anand
