I think that may explain the problem. Whiskering is done with water, not oil, and a nonmarring abrasive such as a kitchen scouring pad.

Did you whisker the stock before first applying the oil?

My one experience was quite different, especially at the destination end. When I declared the pistol at the ticket counter, the agent asked me to open the suitcase and the locked hard case. I did, and she put a pre-printed sheet of paper in with the gun and bid me secure it. The suitcase then...

I never could figure out how to pour those B&T's.

Verrückt is the German for crazy, FWIW.

No problems with H110 in my CH4D.

I vote for rust blue, following of course after an absolutely brilliant polish.

CUP! I'm embarrassed to see you're right.

Jeez, I guess I'm lucky to have a heart that's cold and hard!

I was all set to drive over an hour to Kittery Trading Post tomorrow to pick up some 2400, the "go to" powder for 357 Mag (at least, that's what all you experts say). But with time on my hands today I entered some numbers from Lyman's reloading bible, 49th edition, and made a scatter plot...

The gun must be in checked baggage; that could be a secure backpack. Both your airline and the TSA have their rules & regulations online.

I looked in the Cast #4 book, the fastest powder listed for a 405 gr. bullet (Lyman 457193) is SR-4759. For the 1873 they go from 24 to 26.5 grains: 1258 fps, 12600 CUP to 1415 & 17700. For the 1895 they published 26.5/1429/19000 to 29.5/1577/25600.

K.M., I bet you'd get more responses if you told us what bullets you cast, and what you plan to shoot them through.

I wouldn't trust one of those, and I speak from experience. I was carrying my M36 that way when I squatted down to clear snow from under the tires. My ample belly wasn't enough to hold the gun down as my leg pushed the barrel up (I was carrying at about 2 o'clock). So, into the snow she went...

Use a 158 grain bullet, either a wadcutter or SWC, because that's the bullet weight your fixed sights are regulated for.

Jmorris, thank you very much. You are, as we used to say, a gentleman and a scholar. That said, I got what I needed from McMaster-Carr. They were pleasant to deal with. But, again, thank you. :thumbup:

Mine was when I shot my sister's front teeth out with my BB gun. (Honest, it was a mistake.) I still remember the reward my dad gave me. Oddly, she never held it against me in later years.

It looks dirty and leaded but agreed, pix are not clear.

I would expect one-hole groups at 3 inches range. :thumbup:

OK I need to update my last post. I emailed them and they will take a check, or your credit card over the phone: 251-423-1618 if you're interested. I'll write a review of this very expensive stand once it arrives.
