I shoot a 58 Remmie made by Pietta, I have had it for over 25 years now and it is still going strong. I got a kirst konverter for it several years ago and really like it. I started with one of their 2 piece drop in conversions, I still have it but about a year ago I upgraded to one with the...
I use a chamber adapter to fire surplus .308 in my M1 that I got from the CMP. It works great for my uses. Accuracy is not effected by it much at all, it does open the groups up some but not a lot. I shot several hogs with it over the years. There are several companies that sell the adapters I...
For the third year in a row I will be taking my m44 to our hunting lease in Texas. I bought it because it was cheap, if i remember right it was 79 at a gun show, it was arsenal refinished and still wrapped in cosmoline and paper. Turned out to be one of the most accurate rifles I ever owned. I...
does anyone know if they started to deliver on these or still just taking orders?
This is listed on the Remington website.

I have a colt national match top end in .38 spl mid range wad cutter configuration with 2 mags, all genuine colt.I even have the original ejector from the frame. I got this several years ago from a guy I worked with who used the lower end as the basis for a custom gun, why I have no idea. All...
I know a lot of people really swear by the USFA, i had one of their rodeos, in less than one hundred rounds the hand broke sent it back to them for repair. They gave really fast service, less than 50 rounds later the the bolt broke. Again back to the factory. They repaired it in quick order. I...
I have one of those things somewhere. Dixie Gun works used to sell them. I got it years ago at an auction with a lot of other black powder items. Thinking about it, and the price of caps now, I am going to look for it and try it out.
That derringer is the first pistol I ever owned. I got it as a kit when I was 13, put it together with my father and after 27 years I still have it. It is a lot of fun, and I still shoot it. Very strong and robust little pistol, when I was younger and foolish, I would load it up the same as my...
starline makes 32 s&w brass, magtech and winchester still load .32 s&w too. You can get it from www.midwayusa.com I would be careful firing factory ammo through the iver johnson especially if it is a hinged action. Would be better to load black powder. I have 2 smith and wesson model 4s, one...
It's not flashy and pretty like a newer 45 and it doesn't have all the features, but it is reliable and accurate. It is a 1938 ballister rigaud. 3 digit serial number. I have had colts, kimbers and springfields. This is the one I kept. It has never let me down. It shoots anything I can put in a...
I have to add my 2 cents here, because I had a simillar experiance with their customer service and they where great to say the least.I bought a NAA MINI in a bag one time at a gun show. It had the old black plastic grips and a cylinder with out the safety slots. The finish looked bad a lot of...
I have SA M1 garand made in 53 with a 53 barrel on it. All the other parts on it are mixed SA parts.Does this make it more valuable to the collector? I am thinking of selling it but I am not sure. Any advice on it would be greatly appreciated
Here is a link that will give you the basics on it. It is pretty much the same as loading for smokless except always remember that you can not leave any spaces in the case when using black powder, it either has to be full of powder or a wad to fill the case. I reload in .44 colt and .38 colt. I...
I got my Garands the other day. A lot better than I expected. Me and my father ordered one with stock and 3 less wood, thinking we would use those 3 for projects. One of the rifles without the wood was all matching. It was made in 53 has 53 barrel and all the right numbers except for a bmp rear...
There is also the Kirst Konverters,www.kirstkonverter.com. They are a very well made high quality product, IMHO. I am very happy with mine. I use them for SASS cowboy matches.I have one in a 51 navy, and one in a 58 remmington. The one in the remmington is a very early .44 colt model which they...
Ruger says not to use no Wolf or milsurp ammo because they use a standard .308 bore on the mini 30. Mil surplus and foreign made ammo is loaded with I believe is a .310 or .311 bullet. So it would raise chamber pressure. US made 7.62 x 39 is for the most part loaded with .308 bullets. I know...
If you want a nice derringer take a look at the screw barrel pistol and the Abilene Derringer.I have both and really like them. I just got the Screw Barrel Pistol from dixie Gun Works, it cost about $30 more than the traditions and IMHO a much better product. It has a great finish, caseharded...
I shoot a lot of BP more than anything else. In my range box I have a piece of wooden dowel about 10 inches long, I drilled a hole in the end of it about the length of a drill bit. Then I inserted a small piece of PVC pipe I had inside the hole. I put this over the end of the loading lever; it...
I am new to this board, though I would say hello and throw my 2 cents in. I shoot a lot of BP, cap and ball and cartridge. I have been using cigarette papers for years, I dont use any type of nipple pic and have never had a problem with them. Before I used to use the cigaretter paper I bought...
