Did you use black powder shells? I don't dare shoot this one with modern smokeless loads. Besides, the stock is just a little bit loose and I cannot get one of the screws that hold the wooden butt plate to loosen so that I can tighten the stock screw. I do have the special (extra thin)...

This is a French-made Darne shotgun that I own. It was made in about 1895 to the best of my knowledge. I inherited it from my grandfather. This is a 12-gauge double that I will never fire. Information that I have found shows proof loads with X number of grains of black powder behind...

I like the series of books that this one is part of. I have a separate book for each caliber that I reload. These books combine data from many others and thus are the most complete single resource for each caliber.

My choice for a bullet puller is this impact type. I have an old one marketed by RCBS as well as a new one from Cabela's and both work very well. There's no marring of the bullets and the powder is easily poured out of the tool after the bullet is pulled.

I'd get on the phone and get the issue resolved. As long as you've proven your scale is correct, they should resolve the problem for you. I have absolutely no idea how they would have messed up, though.

I'd love to have an M1 Garand. I used one in military school and got pretty good with it. I do have an M1A which is, of course, a semi-auto-only copy of the M14. That's what I used in Basic Training and a few range trips while in the Army.

I'm thinking that Rich's second photo also has Remington shells shown (just like the third picture). The brass bases are the same in both the second and third photos.

The last photo has a Remington shell shown. I think it's also a plastic hull.

We can only hope that this is the end of our worries about the UN Treaty.

Well, now we know. Rich is over 200 years old!! ;D Thanks for the interesting guessing game, Rich.

I just got a reply to an email from Rich. He's home but not dancing just yet. I suggested that a few folks might appreciate a post from him here.

I'd bet on this being pretty close to the right answer. ::)

I, too, was thinking about 1776 and Paul Revere came to mind for some reason.

Ya gotta give us some sort of clue, Rich. :P

I'm curious about accuracy repeatability with the take-down 10-22. Can anyone who owns one give us a report, please?

So tell us - didja get her the shiny Walther?

Is this pistol the .45 Colt Blackhawk? I have one which is the earlier design with the old-style hammer (no transfer bar).

I have an old (German made, before they were made in the US) Walther PPK/S which I bought new in 1973. It is one of the finest pistols that I have, though it is quite a bit heavier and a little larger than the LCP. I will never get rid of mine. It fits my hand quite naturally, making it point...

The general shape of the Phoenix .22 looks very much like a Walther PPK. Can anyone who has one of the Phoenix .22 pistols confirm how close it feels to the Walther?

A tumbler cycle will clean most relatively straight-walled pistol cases inside and out. The exteriors get polished in addition to being cleaned but the interiors don't get polished like the exteriors do. However, when tumbling .222 Remington or .223 Remington brass, for example, there is...
