    So. how does your family make it?

    I see raisins, so that's a good start.

    Probably cinnamon, and bread (does stale bread hold together better?), but what liquid do you use? Any eggs?

    OK, I'll let you tell me...

     

    These are the most common Brazos -

    We had this for dessert so often when I was a kid (everyone did) and going to other folks homes there were always slight variances but they all tasted good :)

     

    Our Grandkids always ask my wife to make it for them.

  2. Thanks pards one and all for the suggestions, but the boss was having none of that "Please can I have exactly what I had before" .......

     

    Turned down the insert shank to a thou oversize -

    Parted off -

    Had to hand file off the nub that I always get from parting off, the piece being so tiny was a problem to hold so I used some masking tape and to get it in place and then sandwiched between some wood offcuts and after filing gave it a polish -

    Used some Loctite 638 Retaining Compound, along with the friction fit I hope that it stays in place. At least if it doesn't I know I can make another one now......and back on the barrel -

    What extra requirements are involved to buy a pump or lever SG, compared to a SxS?

     

    Nothing for a lever SG for a pump SG just need to be a farmer and apply. 

    Stupid thing is anyone can buy the new Adler (and the like) SGs and they are wayyy faster than a clunky pump... But not legal for SASS.

  4. My wife lost the brass bead off the front of her Uberti '73

     

    I've got the sight off and the drill hole for the part of the brass that inserts is only 1.5mm.

     

    Going to try and turn one on my lathe and insert it with some retaining compound.

     

    Any hints from anyone who's done this before?

    Is the law still in place, that makes owning a pump action SG all but impossible? 

    You have a fantastic family :excl:

     

    Unfortunately yes, we've got an '87 that myself and the boys use for fun sometimes in a match. But I can't say I'm overly fond of it.
