OK, I'm in the midst of disassembling my EAA Baikal SxS and after having to have my 'smith loosen the floorplate screw (MAN they are tight:eek: ), I'm now stymied by a VERY stubborn pin. This is the one that holds the hammers. I've already removed the pins that hold the sears and the...

I recently purchased a pair of EAA Bounty Hunter SA revolvers in .357/.38. They're Colt Peacemaker clones. They both have rather heavy triggers (haven't measured 'em, but I'd guess over 6#) and cocking the hammer is noticably harder than on my Vaquero or Hawes Western Marshall. Also, the...

At lunch today we got into a discussion that started with the latest "X number of gun sales thwarted" BS in the news today. Common concensus was that those who were stopped just went out and bought from and "unlicensed dealer":rolleyes: . I stated that what was meant by that term was...

I'm trying to get my wife set up for CAS, and we both believe she wants to shoot .38/.357 cal. I've got a Rossi '92 in .44 Mag that she doesn't like the action on, so I thought I'd check out the Marlin 1894C. I've got a Marlin 444SS and she likes the smoothness of that action, so that may be a...

I've got a Rossi Puma ('92 clone) in .44 Mag that I use for CAS. I chose a 200 gr. cast bullet to work up a load with, and low and behold the Rossi, my Hawes Western Marshall (Peacemaker clone) and Vaquero all like 5.0 gr. of Titegroup from an accuracy and POI perspective. So, what's the...

Several threads in Cowboy Action/Black Powder talk about disconnecting the automatic part of the safety on these SxS shotguns, and how easy it is, but no one mentions how to do it:( ! The manual I got obviously doesn't talk about it. What are the steps to doing this? Thanks. Doug444

Sorry for the short notice, but I've got to travel to a funeral (father- in-law) today, and I need a quick response. I've got a Utah CCW, and the funeral is in Pensacola, FL. Timing and flight scheduling dictate that I fly to New Orleans and rent a car to drive to Pensacola. My Utah CCW is...

WoHooooo!!! With the new net filters in place I'm STILL able to get in here! :D Must be true then - TFL does NOT promote violence! :D :D :D Doug444

OK TFLers, heres the deal. We've upgraded our IT system at work and now there will be new Internet Filters going online Monday am. My concern is that "Violence/Profanity" and "Militant/Extremist" are 2 of the general categories of sites that will be blocked. Is this going to end up blocking...

OK, I've done the "search" thing and can't find the answer to my specific question, so here goes: In the unfortunate (unlikely, I hope) event that we find ourselves in a SHTF scenario, where we are either fighting our own government and/or (dare I say it) UN forces sent to quell "subversives"...

Anyone out there have one of these? The Automag II is a .22Mag, and the Automag III is .30 Carbine. I've always had a soft spot for "non-conventional" handguns and have seen some of these at (occaisionally) reasonable prices at the local gun shows. Wanted to know if anyone has one and what...

Just bought my second Cowboy pistol, a Ruger Vaquero .44 Mag, 5.5" barrel. My first was a Hawes Western Marshall, and I'd worked up a load w/.44 Mag brass that shot well in both the Hawes and my Rossi '92. Basically, a 200gr. pill @ about 800 fps. Shoots 5 into about 1.5 - 2" at 15 yds. Now...

I've got the high bid on a JP Sauer & Sohn (that's the way they spell it!) Western Marshal .44 Mag. Don't know if I'll get it or not, but I'm wondering what it's really worth. Typical "Peacemaket" clone, made in West Germany. Thought it'd be a good "start" for my CAS stable (to go along with...

I've gotten some return emails lately stating that the original has a virus attached. My anti-virus software is out of date and won't read the latest .dat files, so I've decided to go to an online anti-virus service (Norton, McAfee, etc.). I have Windows 95 and use IE 5.0, and have Outdoors...

Here's the deal: the wife is taking her CCW class tomorrow :)! , and though she's shot several of my handguns (revolvers and pistols, .22 - .38SPL - 9MM) she'll be borrowing from the instructor for the range part. Mainly because my .22Mag revolver is at the factory and my .22 pistols are...

I read about this in this morning's Salt Lake Tribune. Sorry, I'm not savvy enough to get the link easily, but I'm sure someone else here could dig it out for us. Seems 2 mid-20's hunters were found murdered (supposedly with a handgun) and their truck stolen. I sure as hell hope that this...

I'm working on designing a simple (read inexpensive) peep site that can be slipped into the gooved receiver on most .22's and use the original front sight. Anyone know where I can get the standard dimensions for the grooves on these receivers? I've measured them on what I have (Marlin bolt and...

I've got a 7-30 Waters barrel for my Contender and want to reload with nickeled brass. Midway wants $56/100 for Federal nickeled 7-30's, but only half that for Remington nickeled .30-30 brass. Since the .30-30 is the parent for the 7-30, I figure that's a good way to go to accomplish my goal...

Looking for a little guidance here. I have a Taurus 941 (.22 Mag) that has a VERY heavy DA trigger pull. My best guess is somewhere above 15 lbs or so. The SA trigger pull isn't too bad (it breaks pretty cleanly), but I'd like to have the DA pull down in the 6-8 lb. range. Since I carry it...
