I use similar method as below (or above) -- Amazon Ultrasonic that is about 9" inside length, 4.5" width and about 4" depth -- I so far only clean the pistol barrels -- Barrels in Zip Lock with solution of SG and water (1 to 4 give or take) -- Suspend Zip Lock in water with wooden down and...

Jim -- The gunsmith slugged the barrel (above scanned picture) -- he showed bullet diameter of .410 so the Acme bullets I have might be a little narrow I just checked the barrell -- twist is 1 in 20" -- pretty sure I got is correct, the rod was giving a little issues till I put a different...

I got bullets from ACME http://www.acmebullet.com/index.php?route=product/category&path=121 -- they had then in stock -- delivered in about a week -- nice wooden box (storage) -- hope they work better than the stuff they sent Wile E. Coyote (for us Warner Bros cartoon fans) Dies I picked up...

BTW -- those is how I found it -- father-in-law passed away in 2015 but just found in this condition, really wish I had looked/found it sooner. -- minimize surface rust -- before ammo shortage of 2020/2021 Wood did not fit well, or at all Surface rust on barrel No sights UK

Got the rifle back from Gun Smith. Forgot it was one (1) heavy stick -- last time I touched it is was in multiple pieces. Now I need to find some 40--65 brass -- or 45-70 brass to size Pictures as promised -- sorry one (1) is blurry but I had already put it back on wall. UK

I will post picture when complete -- when I checked last week they were getting close to blueing (picked up shotgun they did the simple work on -- and I dropped off front/rear sight) The case is straight walled -- no bottleneck to the case -- hopefully the simple picture the Gun Smith drew is...

Inherited an Rem Rolling Block from my Father-in-Law -- He picked up 10 to 15 years ago as a project -- While cleaning up their basement found the parts for the Rolling Block and decided to put it together and finish What I am trying to determine is the caliber -- gun is at gunsmith being...

Jaquas showed their inventory online 10 years ago - while browsing they showed a FN 49 in 30-06 for $225. Called and they put it on hold - next day I am the proud owner (salesman indicated there were about 5 people on the waiting list) Great fun gun - sold to get a M1a - still wish I could of...

While a gun show is viable - posting on armslist.com or gunlistings.org could also be successful UK

I have the M1- great trigger, and surprising that the sight distance is just as long as my CZ 85 Combat for a compact pistol. Just be careful if you get one - the M1 and M2 magazines are not cross compatible - not sure on holsters, but I also do not think they are cross compatible And I have...

I have always measured from Center-of-Scope tube to Center-of-Chamber which seems easier than muzzle. A wooden dowel down the barrel so that the Center-of-Chamber can be estimated helps. This should be accurate enough for ballistic programs -- not sure what accuracy is needed but I get maybe...

Thank you for the help. -- I will try out the Lee Universal Expander, cheap enough to try. -- I will also try a bullet to expand the deformed case mouth, have a bunch so can spare one -- Do not want to modify the expander yet, last thing I will attemp I will play with different...
