Brandon at CMC was kind enough to send me springs for the extinct XP magazines, I don't know what to use in their .45 magazines if they don't have any on hand. But while I was getting occasional odd failures to feed with squashed XP springs, I fail to see how a weak spring could cause a...

As Zaithev says the PCC exists because Big Daddy in DC won’t let you buy a new burp gun so you have to pretend.

What are the markings? Some of those plant codes are unobvious. .

J,K, it’s only one letter, how much difference can that make? One thing, though, .32 S&W Long M&P is vanishingly scarce. “.32 M&P“ usually gets you a .32-20.

Yes

I don't THINK than even a strong adhesive counts with the Feds. Pinned and welded is the standard, or just welded. Maybe pinned and brazed or silver soldered, maybe.

I did not know that. I have seen mention of Tigre copies being converted to .45 for Latin American sales.

I got some Fiocchi primers loaded in 9mm with my G34 load of 115 gr Xtreme plated + 4.4 gr HP38. This is lighter than I load for Colt and SA, but I was shooting the STI Eagle today. Fiocchis gave substantially lower velocity than WW in my STI; 1065 fps vs 1110. That load with WW primers runs...

I fired up the Garmin today, see thread on primers.

20 grains of black powder in 1882. Not BIG rifle cartridges in early repeaters. The 1873 Winchester was made for .44-40, .38-40, and then .32-20 cartridges which were also short enough to chamber in a revolver. Think original PCC.

They don't. .32 WCF aka .32-20 was originally a rifle cartridge picked up by revolver makers like the other WCFs. It is a bottleneck cartridge not interchangeable with anything else. For the Modern Shooter the .327 Ruger-.32 H&R-.32 S&W Long family is a lot easier to get along with.

Shiloh has a looong option list.

The cheap approach here was to swap the steel Dragoon grip frame and ejector rod housing for aluminum Blackhawk parts and strip off the anodizing with Drano. Somebody would be glad to get your takeoff parts.

I do my pistol loading with two criteria, desired velocity or maximum published load, whichever comes first.

Yeah, something else I have seen in the era of Internet Customer Service; it is often cheaper for the manufacturer to throw a defective product away and replace it than it is to fix it. All the talk of "good customer service" shows me just how cheaply stuff is made when they are so willing to...

Yeah, there is not much lubricity of dry lead on steel, which is why cast bullets are lubricated or these days, coated.

Good examples. Usual warning to give the Mauser fresh springs.

Agree, it is likely plugged to 10 in the tube. Heck, some of the long .38s are. C.E. Harris had a Marlin converted to .45 ACP and would not shoot hardball in it. Taylor's seems more confident that a FMJ won't pop a primer.

Pedersoli is the high end of Italian repros, more expensive than Uberti et al. THIS Pedersoli was designed in cahoots with BPCR Metallic Silhouette shooters. It has a 12" twist for .38 bullets 350 grains, or even heavier, to knock down 46 lb rams at 500 meters. (My rebored Winchester with 15"...

Agree with Ug, at least partly in anticipation of AWB. Ruger had some modern lever actions almost certainly for that reason but the ban was not extended.
