Way Over Yonder In The Minor Key

I carry about 6-8 unless I’m at a conference in which case I’ll generally have about 20.

Not so. Pioneer Gun Works provided short stroke stroke kits, replacement bolts, etc. But they stopped. https://www.pioneergunworks.com/action-work2

Just a tip for ya if you have a Dillon 1050 and looking to load 38 short colt. Dillon does not support this caliber and thought I’d try to rig something together. First problem working on is the case feed. I took an adapter(45 acp red) and made an insert for it from a 45-70 case. I first cut off the base end and put a fairly radical flare on the base end of case. This flare is to hold the insert in the adapter and provide a big enough forcing cone to prevent brass from hanging up in the drop tube. The OAL of the flared insert is 1.670. And using the Case feed plunger (small) Seems to work without and hang ups. Not my intent to go into every detail as most who have a 1050 are more conversant than me and know the little details not discussed here. It took about 30 min to make insert and fit check. I had to keep flaring the insert (which shortened OAL) to provide enough clearance to pass over the case feed plunger but not interfere with next brass to drop. Also, think would work for 38 S&W.

Sold to Toby!

good job--my hat is off to those that know this kind of stuff

The Farce is with them!

Okie is a fine feller. I've always enjoyed talking with him on the phone. He is also fairly knowledgeable of Marlins and some of the interactions of the parts inside. He might be a good choice to look at your Marlin and see what might be going on inside. Keep us updated. ..........Widder

I highly recommend this rifle for EVERYONE shooting in the Silver Senior Category, especially those who reside in Florida.

The REAL Tarzan - Johnny Weissmuller. Good copy. Greek subtitles.

I found some replacement buttons I needed here. https://buttonbird.com/collections/southwest?page=7

I've bought from Buckaroo Bobbins at major matches. (I too can replace a button and sew.)

Thanks Widder, appreciate your thoughts. Got to shoot with a friend of yours today, "Ozark Okie". He values your opinion highly. Thanks for taking the time to share the info, I will keep updating as I get further into the project.

This is listed as a package deal for $150. Is that correct? Sam Sackett

That's exactly what he did, but mom still had the ticket showing where she traded it back to him.

I had one for a long time . I sold it when I bought my Pedersoli Rolling Block David Podine rifle. I'm miss it though lol

de KI5RGH/AG Edit to ad: There were nine people resting this morning, including two USAF airmen (their co-worker that brought them, probably not 20 years old himself, is already an Extra). I got my General, one advanced to Extra and the rest all passed their Technician exams.

Don't Lie...... (the devil will get you) Don't talk back to me.....I'll smack that mouth. ( I got smacked a couple times) Share..... help others. ..........Widder
