    Light Strikes New Model Blackhawk with Super Blackhawk Hammer

    Hi Gents! Being a tinkerer, I decided to replace a pair of original hammers on older New Model Blackhawks with Super Blackhawk hammers (lower profile, wider spur). ONE of them works just great... the other one is giving me incredibly light hammer strikes and firing maybe 1 of every 5 rounds...

    QuickLoad File Update Question

    Hi, Gents! Hey - for any of you who've updated to QuickLoad v3.6 from another - what file names do you get in the update? I assume you just get data files? Or is there any new programming in the update? Thanks!

    Hi, Gents! Hey, I'm loading for a Star Modelo Super in good condition. It's in 9mm Largo. First question - what's the safe "factory published" working pressure for this handgun? Loading data is spotty, and I KNOW I can't load it to 9x23 Winchester pressures, but the Steyr loading data is, I...

    Should I Buy ANIB Marlin Camp 45?

    Hi, gents! I was offered an almost NIB Camp 45 the other day, fellow wanted nearly $400 for it - I wouldn't mind having it for that price. Is that fair? The second part of that question is, knowing this model has its weaknesses, what parts do I need for it? Buffer and recoil spring? Thanks...
