I might end up with a cheese grater barrel.

I've shot it and it runs smooth. I'm not a gunsmith, but know a few.

I have an 1897 with the frame indicating 1899 build that has a horrible bore. I'm reluctant to shoot it because of the barrel. Would it make sense to rebarrel or sell it for parts?
-
My wife would agree.

There is a market here for collecting, but not so much shooting IMO. I think a Pietta GWII to be a really nice CAS gun, others like Rugers. I have both. -

Getting closer.

Ballistol is supposed to be ok for leather. I can't imagine smelling mold after a treatment with it.

Have you tried them?

Fingers Crossed for Good Weather at EOT

Don't forget "Winter Rain." -
Too Tall has added a Sunday shoot of 6 stages so we can shoot one, two or three days prior to EOT.

It's not just finished ammo, the components are under price pressure as well. Stock up if you find sales, free shipping/hazmat.

It's getting closer.

One more time.

After spending time on taxes this morning, I'll be lucky to break even.

Check to see if your bullets are crooked in the carrier before you attempt to lever it. I once loaded some .45 Colt too long and the first round often "jammed". I had to manipulate the carrier (by hand) and lever simultaneously to get the 1st round going. I decided I had too many loaded to pull the bullets and used them up (painfully) at local matches. I backed off the OAL a bit afterwards and haven't had that issue since.

Bear Creek has a nice moly coated 230 gr. RN that runs well in 1911s. https://www.bearcreeksupplybullets.com/

I used to use my wallet in my back pocket until I tired of my rig pulling my pants down. 🫢I saw someone using suspenders to hold his up and went that route. I found them at Wild West Merc.

2002. A lot of lead downrange since.

I purchased mine based on price and condition, it just so happened to be made in 1963. I did the "buy now" feature and there were no CC fees. 28" barrel, very good bluing, no cracks in stock, decent furniture.
