There is so much involved with a project like that. I think it will be easier, and probably much less expensive, for him to redo a single shot Ruger No. 1 in a magnum caliber to .404 Jeffery. If its a repeater he wants, maybe seek out a CZ 550 Safari Classic in .404 Jeffery. It’s a neat...

Load HBWC backwards? No. Others may, but I prefer factory developed SD loads for SD use, and WC loads for targets and practice time. :D YMMV. Stay safe.

It can happen with factory ammo, too. Backwards primer, no flash holes, a folded case mouth and a case that was too long and it wedged into the chamber. Always good to give ammo a once over before loading into your gun, even if it is new and comes from factory boxes. (Of course, the no flash...

My CZ 75 SP-01 with 18 Federal 147 gr HST rounds on board sits on mine. Stay safe.

My 1990’s vintage Lee powder measure started throwing odd light charges last year. Using an tended 2.8 gr Bullseye charge, I stuck a DEWC in a 6” barrel as one of the symptoms. It may be that your measure is throwing light charges, too. Only other guess is too tight chamber mouth(s) on the...

I have had good luck with my 1911’s, in both .45 and 9mm. All shoot well and haven’t hiccuped for me once. I did put on a Cylinder & Slide 4.5 lb trigger kit in the SA Ronin, it was about 5.5-6 lbs out of the box. The Kimber Stainless Target II is silly accurate in my hands. The SR1911 .45...

Cool! I haven’t owned a .32 Win Spl., all my 1894’s have been .30-30’s (4 all told) and a .44 Mag. With a bit of TLC that century old levergun should clean up nicely. :thumbup: Stay safe.

The “Shelby Slot” mag wheel look of the .357 Redhawk is awesome. :thumbup: Stay safe.

Very cool pickup! Nice to see I’m not the only one who briefly walked away from a gun in the consignment case, only to walk back in and plunk down the money after a few minutes of soul searching. 😇 Can’t wait to see how your new K frame shoots for you. My Model 67 is a no-dash with the original...

I bought the 19 and 17 slides from AIM Surplus that were coated; the 19 gen 3 lower I had sprayed Bottomland camo to match the slide, and the 17 was bought already FDE for the desert scheme. For the gen 3 34 lower/Lone Wolf slide, I asked my FFL to come up with something different that they...

I HATED the feel of Glock pistols when I first held one. It was in the mid-1990’s, a gen-whatever Glock 21 .45 ACP. Seriously, it felt and pointed like an L shaped 2x4 was sitting in my hands. Back in 2007 I swapped agencies, and was issued a gen 3 Glock 19 9mm. I put my nose to the grindstone...

I have bought around 90 guns off Gun Broker over 15+ years. (Three have been DW’s, two 15-2’s and a .22 LR.) There have been a few that disappointed me, but the vast majority of my buys have been A+. One of my DW 15-2 buys was a frame like you wanted @stonebuster, I paired it with a 3” EWK VH...

Cool looking rifle. :thumbup: I am another one who puts folders on my lever guns that get either Lyman peep sights or scopes. Nice to have a back up rear sight option rather than just a slot filling blank. Can’t wait to see a before-and-after of how it looks with the new sights. Stay safe.

I’ve used it in the past. I have no complaints about it, but when I ran out I bought other stuff to try out. Stay safe.

Crafty solution. :thumbup: Stay safe.

The Hornady Critical Defense rounds are shaped with a pretty gun-friendly profile that has fed well in a few of my .380 pistols. Best thing about them is the consistent performance/expansion I witnessed at two separate ammunition demos Hornady put on with both their Critical Duty and Critical...

If I were in that position, I would look up some long term gun-storage options before setting stuff in home depot bins. Putting a nice gun away only to pull out a rusted and pitted mess years later is no bueno, be it a classic original or a nice reproduction. Good luck @docwharden1881 ! Stay...

I like the Model 686+ too, to the point that I carried my 4” on duty for several months in 2003 when I was rehabbing a thumb ligament injury. But, the K frames are my all time favorite S&W revolvers. No matter the caliber; from .357 to .22 there is something about the K frame that just seems...

To me, spending $15,000.00 on the used boat I bought a decade ago was right at the top of my comfort limit. To others far more well heeled than I, $1,500,000.00 is buying them an entry level boat. These folks play in waters I will never swim in. To own an old English best double like that...

Looks like you are on the right path @Chief TC, these guys have a ton of real world range time behind them and they like to help others out with answers to questions like yours. One thing I have figured out from others, as well as my own experience having ten different .22 LR rifles and sixteen...
