Make that “forgings used to be made in Brazil”. All Springfield 1911’s who’s serial numbers begin with “NM” have forgings made in USA They have been that way for many years.

CCI, Federal, and Winchester have all updated their packaging within the last year and I have purchased all three in the new packaging within the last 6 months. Also purchased new manufactured Remington primers this year. They are out their it’s just that supply cannot keep up with demand.

Super Blackhawk hammers are wider and lower... They came with original vaquero hammers which I believe are the same as regular Blackhawk hammers.

Donnie Miculek hasn’t owned Bayou in quite a while... He sold it to concentrate on being the supplier for the Hi-Tek coating in the US.

Take a look at the ADI website. They make trail boss. http://www.adiworldclass.com.au/2021/12/16/propellant-update/

I am not a doctor... I too have a stent. Your not supposed to shoot heavy recoiling guns for a little while. Talk to your cardiologist to know how long. Once the stent is grown in it won’t matter, you can shoot anything you want.
