Sgt., Per my PM, I’ll take one pair of the stainless steel Montado hammers. Ethan

Jonny T, I'm sorry we were not able to meet up, however I am pretty certain your shot gun is a 10 Gauge based on the 0.860 chamber diameter you provided in your other post. The chamber length is most likely 2-5/8" however it could be longer. In the links below, one gentleman describes how he made a chamber gauge out of heavy card stock. I have also inserted modern 10 Gauge cartridge and chamber dimensions courtesy of S.A.A.M.I. and Hodgdon. My great grandfather's 12 gauge underlever shotgun was made in Belgium and looks very similar to yours. The chamber diameter is 0.812. Here is some information that may help solve your mystery and get you ready to reload brass shotshells: 10 Gauge Chamber Lengths 10 Gauge Brass Shotshell Reloading

Jonny, Have not been able to locate my 10 gauge brass shells, but I found some plastic ones and some 12 gauge brass stuff. I am heading out to the Steve McQueen car show in Chino Hills. I will bring this stuff with me. I shoot you a text message pard.

Hey amigo, I am certain I have one or two brass shells around here somewhere. I’ll dig through the junk drawer, oops, I meant treasure box, to see what I can find for you. Ethan

Got it. Thanks for reaching out my friend!

Still looking for something. Added information about the Rocker Chucker Supreme press as it looks like an option for left handed operation. Thanks.

Howdy all, I have a friend that is looking for a RCBS Big Max or Rock Chucker Supreme (RC IV) press. Needs a press that can be set up to run left handed so a standard Rock Chucker wont work. If you have one that you are willing to sell, please let me know how much you are looking for it (shipped to Zip Code 92583). Thank you! Ethan

The Belt Mountain Base Pin system works very well on ROAs.

Still on the hunt.

Howdy pards, I am looking for a 3 die set to reload 40-60 Winchester ammo. I am also searching for a .406 Star Sizer Die and Top Punch. Pictures are always helpful if you have the ability to post them here. I am not at a computer all day so please give me a little time to get back to you. Thank you! Regards, Ethan

@Lonestar Hoss, SASS# 50131 Howdy Pard, Your Rossi rifle was made in Brazil, not Italy. The Rossi is a great little rifle, my wife and sons competed with them back in the day. Regards, Ethan https://rossiusa.com

Stumptown, Hopefully this chart I located on Texas Grips webpage helps you out. Ethan

Hi Butch, I responded to your PM and have attached some additional pictures. The grips are marked RBH on the back, which is for Ruger Black Hawk. These have never been fitted to a gun, however I tried them on a Ruger XR3 RED grip frame. You can see they are slightly oversized on the grip frame to allow for fitting. I do not see any cracks or dents, however there are some minor surface marks which will polish out when they are fitted to a grip frame. There is coloration difference at the screw escutcheon holes. Hopefully the new pictures will provide more detail for you. Regards, Ethan

I have 2 sets of Eagle black buffalo horn grips for a Ruger. Eagle no longer makes these. $400 dollars for both sets shipped to you via USPS.

PM sent. Please mark these sold. Regards, Ethan

I have an NEF with 3 screw holes, not 2. I'm not sure if this would fit.

I sent back the pair of 38-40s/40 S&W Vaquero revolvers i bought in 2001 right after getting them as none of the 38-40 cast bullets I used would fit into the chambers. Ruger sent them back and told me they were within spec and were designed to shoot modern jacketed bullets. I had to pay a gunsmith is $300 to ream the chambers to the proper size.

The Apache Kid is kneeling in front with a rifle. Photo and description credit to Mc Candless. I believe Reggie’s SASS number was 36. Jerry Jordon "Beauford McHogg", Don Wright "B.B. McShagnasty" #452, Tony Cipponari "Butch Cavecchi" #20, Reggie Byrum "Apache Kid", and Craig Hanson "Big Jake" #1001.

In the center of the front row is Island Girl and Bounty Hunter (RIP), In the second row, far left is Shakey Jake. I know some of the other faces, but their names escape me....

Sixgun, Your 69 Z-28 sounds like an awesome car! I had a 1970 1/2 Z-28 in my early to mid 20's but traded it off. My youngest son now has an original 1971 SS/RS Camaro. I am currently putting together the components to rebuild a 1969 302 Z-28 engine that I will drop into my 1972 El Camino. I have the block, pistons, crank shaft, solid lifter cam and a single 4 barrel intake manifold so far. I am looking for a factory dual quad manifold, but no luck so far. I have not decided if I will go with stock cast iron 2.02 heads or use aftermarket aluminum yet. In a world of LS swaps and computer controlled horsepower, I am still hooked on original small block Chevy engines and manual transmissions. My 1963 Landcruiser has a 327 Chevy engine. Maybe I can make up to Reno in August. Hot August Nights looks like a fantastic event. Best regards, Ethan

Hi Scott! Great to see you back on the wire! Are you still driving those Vipers? For those of you that have not had the pleasure of meeting Sixgun Shorty, he is one of the most knowledgeable folks you’ll ever meet when it comes to Colt firearms.

RIP Lady Hawk. You are one of the kindest and most beautiful souls I’ve ever known.

Honest Henry has joined God’s posse. RIP and Happy Trails until we meet again old friend.

Thank you very much for going out of your way to honor my request! I am a lucky man indeed. Very best regards, Ethan
