  1. Based on the design of the '92 and the way it locks up, the Aluminum Alloy receiver should be sufficient. Maybe.
  2. WIND CHILL today - 81 with glorious SUNSHINE. I know, I know, but I'll try and suffer thru
  3. I don't begin to excuse the "runner." However, we live in a very small town that boasts a University. The students seem hell bent on just stepping off into traffic without a glance. Same Same in Pittsburgh around Pitt. University students seem to be universally ignorant. Step in front of vehicles whether a cross walk or not. PLUS ONE for Marshal Mo you betcha
  4. Boo Hisss for the Reviews and for the reviewers. The reviewer in the second Vid never got the fore arm locked on. Neither review provided any "good" information.
  5. HELL YES!! Oh, Wait, Oh NO!! I'm on Mouse Safari!! Can't make it until MAY!! Oh Woe is Me. I'll suffer through though. The "Wind Chill" was 83. I "endeavor to preserver" (stolen famous movie line). You guys have FUN!!
  6. For those who constantly whine about a "Level Playing Field." There has never been a "level playing field" in the CAS game and there never will be. Way too many variables. Run What Ya Brung and quit whining. PLUS ONE for Culpepper you betcha.
  7. I remember walking into a High End western hat store in Denver Colorado. Located in Denver's High End mall. The cheapest hat in the place was over $500 US. That was over 25 years ago. Oof Da.
  8. It really doesn't matter whether one "likes it or not" and the photo shows enough room to the left on the table to stage an open double. If everyone is shooting the same instructions a poor prop design is immaterial. I realize there are those who are gaming for every last millisecond, but you do what you gotta do The double gun, as shown in the picture is a Procedural. PLUS ONE for Smokestack
  9. When shooting smokeless, I like 4.0Gr Tight Group with 160Gr RNFP or 130Gr Barnstormer. I cannot however, recommend using 45 ACP dies. The ACP Sizing Die imparts a slight taper to the case, working it hard and allowing excess Blow-By of gun gasses. I also don't recommend an ACP taper crimp. Better powder burn with a roll crimp. I recommend 45 Colt resizing die A 45 ACP seating die is "OK" I recommend a 45 Auto Rim Profile (roll) crimp die
  10. The DILLON 650 will work well without any "upgrades." However, the "Hit Factor" package and the Armanov Index bearing really really improve the "smooth." Well worth the money.
  11. HA!! None of the above. Opt for a Pietta Hammer Double. Super quality!!
  12. Yes, if you want a good one. Try Murphys Custom Gunleather.
  13. If your loading/reloading on a DILLON, it only takes about a minute to change tool heads from 38 to 357, with a dedicated powder measure for both, or add a minute to swap over the powder measure. Super simple and no hassle. It is true, some rifles don't like 38s. Uberti 1866 rifles are .38 only. Some handguns are short cylinder and won't accept 357. It pays to take minute and look at the specific requirements for your guns. Then adapt as required. Don't over think it either.
  14. Ace - You don't. The only way to "adjust" the head space is to have custom links made.
  15. Whilst probably not on your menu (yet), you might give a thought to APP. Large Powder bar so it won't bridge, 3f APP to the bottom of the bullet (any weight bullet) and fire away. No pesky lube problems (don't need lube, actually), and easy clean-up. Try it - - yule like it
  16. It's very do-able. Not even a hard job. Any decent Gunsmith should be up to the task, including a Dovetail Front Sight. However, I do agree with the Gallery. Once complete, the little beastie wi gonna give ya a whoopin. My Alter Ego, Hacksaw McGurk chimed in and suggested iffin yer gonna cut it, take it back to Sixteen and a Quarter. All or Nothing as it twer. Plus, with a light bullet, and a modicum of filler, you might even get the little beastie halfway ok to actually shoot
  17. Glazed Yeast Donuts that are then covered in Dark Chocolate. Stupefying Delicious you betcha
  18. NONE OF THE ABOVE!! Ain't none of Yinz heard of NEW YORK!! Fer Petez sake, more "Urban Cowboys" than anywhere else onna planet!!
  19. PLUS ONE for Barry Sloe 38s are a good move. You might also consider Cowboy 45 Special. 160Gr Bullets loaded with APP. If you can find them now, an even better choice would be 130Gr BARNSTORMER .45s although I don't presently know who is casting the Barnstormer. C45S cases loaded light are quite comparable to .38s. Also, PLUS ONE for the 12Ga, loaded light as opposed to a 20Ga. 20Ga can be brutal. The guns are too light. Of course, hand loaded, you can make 20Ga pleasant. My 12Ga Hammer Doubles with APP and a One Ounce pay load don't beat me up at all.
  20. Skidsteer, I'm some confused by your terminology. "Cannelure??" Normally a cannelure is a ribbing imprint. Are you actually talking about a "Crimp Groove??" 1.60 is the maximum length of your Carrier Block and may be pushing too long. Crimping the bullet for 1.55 should be fine, but for a tube magazine rifle you should be looking for bullets with a dedicated crimp groove that will yield a cartridge less than 1.60. You can also run 38 Special cartridges in the gun.
  21. Here I get to be contrary. Cowboy rifles are famous for slightly oversize chambers. Especially Large Bore. 45 Colt, 45 Schofield, 44 Special/Colt/Russian WILL NOT expand to seal the chamber. 38 Special MAY also need annealing. Annealing softens the brass so and after annealing, straight wall cases will seal the chamber and eliminate Blow-By. I have a fairly substantial pile of annealed brass and have only annealed once. Annealing after every firing is way over-kill. If you can live with sticky chambers and fouled carriers you may not wish to spend the time annealing. Annealing is boring. If on the other hand, you want straight walled cartridges to run as clean as 44-40 or 38-40, annealing is a necessary task. Black Powder and Subs are much less forgiving than smokeless.
