The Czickness LII….it is the grey time of year. Tungsten Grey that is…

Ran out of techniques to get 40 grains of 3F BP in 45 Colt Starline cases reliably. You can get the powder in there, and even mash a 255 grain cast bullet on top of it, but getting it to chamber reliably in a variety of revolvers just isn't in the cards. Not sure how the guy on "all things black powder" does it unless his revolvers have looser throats. I shot up all the tests in the 1866 this morning which digested them without issue.

A penny auction from Beech Grove Firearms.

That is one complex looking rifle.

Yes sir it is, but there are several in here that like those fancy German .22’s.

Do you have a savage?

Savage and Anschutz had a collaboration. I have the Savage-Anschutz model 141, 64 action by Anschutz, stock by Savage. There were also cheaper Anschutz-Savages, made by Savage, exported to Germany and elsewhere. Sounds backwards, but that's my understanding.

New purchase?

New purchase?

Yes indeed.

Almost forgot Indy Arms had a Shadow 2 Compact in stock, for $1299. That was this morning though, so if you're interested, call them first.

 

[mcapo]

Yes indeed.

Can you see my jealous face?

Oh. I did and quickly unplugged my computer.

 

[Born2vette]

Nice, I’ll be curious to see what dot you put on it and why!

One of the last items left over from my first really big gun deal, 1981. Made in West Germany.

THAT is a gorgeous stock!!!!!!!!!

 

[KJQ6945]

Oh. I did and quickly unplugged my computer.

But, it’s a penny auction, with no reserve!

Congrats on snatching that up!

Holosun HS407A3, mostly because it'll do the trick and it's currently sitting in the closet gathering dust

Congrats on snatching that up!

Thank you sir and to all others who have expressed congratulations or envy

Needs an old Unertl on top with the adjustable blocks.

Good evening all, Happy Monday
Fun Range day with WT and Wizard as always. Also wanted to thank Zach for the amazing deal he gave me on some CZ mags.
I also have some exciting news about the HBI trigger problem. So I am positive the problem is my gun. As I suspected the replacement trigger was encountering the same problem as shown by the ware mark.


I believe this front insert piece to be the problematic part. Its hard to tell in the picture but there looks to be excess metal what wasn't fully taken off at the factory. This was still in spec for the stock trigger CZ made but not for this replacement.



I still need to email HBI my findings but I hope to potentially get this fixed without mailing it to them. Not that I'm an expert but I think it would just need to be grinded enough to relieve where its catching. I just don't have a great file for the job. Thanks for reading my posts about this and hopefully this might help someone in the future. This has been a pretty rewarding experience despite my frustrations.

Nice score, i've been looking at these, the lack of a BUIS always threw me off but I see several manufacturers are now making plates with BUIS on them for these.
