    Texas Toothpick

    hso, thanks a lot, that is exactly what I wanted. I have never heard of the matchstick in between the blade and spring trick. This makes so much sense now. Also, that is a really nice collection of toothpicks shown there.

    Texas Toothpick

    In various catalouges and on websites I have seen a number of single blade folding knives called "small toothpick". These are almost always 3" folded. I also have seen a few "medium toothpick". These latter are 4 1/4" folded. I have never seen a "large toothpick". I wanted to ask you better...

    Where to get new railroad ties for backstop.

    OK, I don't post much but I built a great backstop with RR ties and tires. I used the ties to make a 3 sided enclosure, about 6 feet tall, and tapered towards the rear. I also used treated 4x4s sunk into the ground about 3 feet on the inside of the stack to stiffen things up. Then I got a...

    What's the deal with Dunhams?

    Back about 15 years ago there were two Dunhams within driving distance. One was as is being described here but the other one was GREAT. The good one was staffed by "gun guys" and when you bought a mil-surp there they were mostly de-cosmolined and the worst I think went to other stores.

    Loading cast 30-30s

    Hello, I have recently started casting some of my own bullets as a natural outgrowth of reloading. (OK I'm late to the dance 'cause it's getting hard to get free or even cheap wheel wts) Any way... I have cast and am ready to load some 150gr, .309, gas checked, 30-30s. I have RCBS Cast Bullet...

    Taurus 380 revolver

    I was in a hurry the first time I responded, if you search under my screen name you will find thread about this. It has reviews and photos. Hope this helps.

    Taurus 380 revolver

    I believe that you can fire the revolver without the moon clips but you will have to poke the brass out of each chamber of the cylinder. The ejector will not touch the cases because they are rimless.

    Broken 642

    I am sorry your S+W broke. I guess I'm ignorant... why would you set out to dry-fire the revolver 3,000 times?

    .45 SWC or TC

    I was wondering how many of you load semi-wadcutters or trunc-cones in .45 ACP? Have you had any feeding problems? I've just always used and/or loaded RN. I see them on the Missouri Bullet and Oregon Trail site and I just wonder...

    Help Scope 'slipping'?

    It may be your scope is dead but... if it is just loose it is quick and easy to fix. That is why I would check that first.

    Help Scope 'slipping'?

    First thing to do is to check all your mounting screws,( bases, rings) and use Loctite Blue to keep them tight.

    Lead boolit questions

    Has anybody here used both Missouri Bullet and Laser Cast? I have used and liked Laser Cast but I noticed Missouri Bullet is cheaper. I just wonder if they are worth the price difference. And just to be sure I understand, loading either one to .357 mag velocities is OK? I was going to buy some...

    Cartridges or components?

    I was wondering... What do you think about this and why. I guess we all have a minimum number of loaded rounds on hand for our favorite guns but past that; is it better to just go all out and load up everything you have or just keep your minimum and then hold components in reserve. In my case I...
