      .44 mag to .44-40

      Does anyone even make barrel blanks with a .427" groove diameter? I think that may be the problem that stops your project before it even gets started.

      6.5 creedmoor

      Of the powders that are popular for 6.5 Creedmoor, I know Brian's has IMR 4166, Winchester 6.5 StaBall, and H4350. They even have an 8# jug of H4350 on the shelf in addition to the typical 1# cans. If you are looking for a specific powder or other loading component, they actually answer the...

      ID, anybody know what kind of 7.62 x 54 ammo is this?

      The above posters have it right, Albanian 7.62x54R LPS (light ball steel core). Corrosive, brass cased. Unfortunately it is some of the lower quality surplus 54R to be imported. Fires reliably and accuracy is "OK" for what it is, but some of the cases have manufacturing defects. In a beater...

      Comblock Ammo Spamcan ID Help

      Yes, it penetrates better than lead core, but it isn't true AP either. It is only legally defined as AP at the Federal level, which is where the import problem is. FYI - a friend informed me that if you shoot igneous or metamorphic rocks (he didn't use those terms, lol) with them, they tend to...

      Comblock Ammo Spamcan ID Help

      It's Chinese 7.62x39 with mild steel core projectile. It is indeed the stuff banned from import by Clinton. Beowulf has it right, the “56” indicates that it is ammunition for the Type 56 rifles, thus 7.62x39. 550 rounds per can, it will be on stripper clips, copper washed steel case, and...

      Coin Storage?

      30 cal ammo cans. Sturdy, stackable, built in handle for convenience, and will survive even a very hot house fire.

      Whats the stupidest thing you've heard at gun store/range?

      They continued using the projectile design in handgun calibers too. They just changed the packaging and deleted the black coating on the projectiles. It was sold as Winchester Ranger SXT which people joked stood for "Same eXact Thing". FYI - the modern Winchester Ranger T-series, which is...

      Mauser Question

      I've bookmarked this page in my browser for future reference. That is a great lot of technical info all grouped into one place. Thanks for sharing DD!

      I need expert help!

      Some Remington hunting rifles are notorious for this.

      Winchester model 90 22 short or is it model 1890 ?

      Thoroughly clean and inspect the bore. If the bore is pretty good, it would probably be worth fixing up as a fun vintage shooter. Along that line of thought, I would leave the tape alone, the stock is probably cracked. The inner magazine tube should be able to be found, bought, and installed...

      MAC-10 Vs. 1917A1

      In addition to what Leadeye said, your enjoyment will depend greatly on what type of shooting area you have access to and what kind of targets you will have available. If you can shoot somewhere like Knob Creek with worthwhile targets, the 1917A1 will scratch a totally different itch than the...

      **Get Your Ammo Here----2nd Edition**

      I stop in once a month when I'm in the area and I have never seen ANY 9mm in that store. Maybe someone who stops in more frequently can report. With no limit, the first person shopping for 9mm who sees it probably buys it all.

      **Get Your Ammo Here----2nd Edition**

      Probably because of the 1K per person limit, but yes, it's a good sign.

      Identify 7.62x54r

      Spam can markings line by line: 7.62 is caliber (7.62x54R), LPS indicates light ball with mild steel core (the mil-spec is 147gr, but this varies in reality), GZ indicates copper washed steel case J37 is the ammunition lot series and lot number, 76 indicates the ammunition was made in 1976, 21...

      Shot gun Prices?

      Yep, even reloading die sets have gone up a few dollars each - RCBS, Lee, and Hornady.

      Black powder—-where to buy????

      Brian's Surplus has Winchester #11 for $11, Rem #12 for $10, and four-wing musket caps - can't remember price on those. It's a long drive for you, but looks pretty close for the OP. He also delivers to the gunshows he attends. The Bedford show was just this past weekend and would have been...

      Overpressure?

      Doesn't look overpressure to me. The edges of the primer where they meet the primer pocket of the case are nice and rounded. The primer isn't cratered in the traditional over-pressure sense either. Some of these new polymer pistols, plus Glocks, leave odd marks on fired primers because of...

      Best (and Worst) Products/Accessories

      I use it for freeing stuck screws, nuts, bolts and such - guns, vehicles, and any other job like that. If it's something that is REALLY bad (crusty suspension parts of a vehicle), I will spray it down every few days for a week or two before I even try to budge anything. Same with really rusted...
