barrel ring

I've seen these dozens of times over the last 30 years of being a firearms afficianado. They normally are a result of firing a shot when a drop or two of water was in the barrel. Water does not compress when a bullet hits it. It's usually the barrel steel that gives. Is there any chance you were fir...

Moly bullets

The only person I know of who is/was shooting moly was Darius Young. A very good, past national champion. Whether they are accurate or not will depend on their consistency and if they fit your bore dimentions. Knowing the reputation on RRA, I don't think we have to ask if the gun shoots. Like you I ...

kaz, Thats the angle I took for your post. Mine (22's) get detail stripped once a year. The 45's get it twice a year. I look at it from the standpoint of not wanting very tight, match fitted parts taken apart any more than necessary. I do clean the chambers and some internals after every match howev...

Remington 541 Parts

I'm looking for a magazine latch and screw for a Remington 541. I have checked jack First and Numrich with no luck. Anyone out there have other options?

TIA

slide vs frame mount

I will also cast my opinion for the slide mount. I've been using mine on my wad gun for over 6 yrs and love it. You will find the recoil a bit slower, but not much. It seems to soften it (recoil) just a bit. You will find advocates for both and both have advantages and disadvantages. My reccomendati...

spring weight

Adam, Your 45 will function with a spring that's on the light side, however, using a spring thats too light will batter the slide and frame much more than it should be. You want to preserve that nice tight fit that you paid $$ for. I was told that the correct spring weight is heavy enough so that th...

Adam, If I missed this info in a prior post, my apologies. How is your Springfield set up? Open sight's or Dot? If a dot, Slide mount or frame mount? Are you using any buffers? Your 4.2 gr WST with a 200 SWC should be a very accurate load. However, if you're not using a slide mounted dot the spring ...

The problem is the liberals don't see anything wrong with the cartoon. They just assume the dinosaurs will now greet BC and the others with flowers. Or NOT!!!

Ultra Dot

I agree with Hardball and Bullseye. I have 6 1" UD's on a variety of 22's and slide mounted 45's. I chose the 1" for several reasons. 1. It forces me to pay closer attention to the fundamentals. 2. I had a 30mm Tasco when I started shooting Bullseye and found my attention wandering from the dot. 3. ...

FS or Trade Weigand scope mount

I have an "as new" Stainless Weigand no gunsmithing scope mount. I will either sell for $30.00 shipped or trade for a set of MK II front and adjustable rear sights. It worked great, but the pistol is now drilled & tapped for a standard base and I need to work on my iron sight technique. Stork aschir...

6 dasher loads

Anyone shooting a 6 Dasher with .274 neck? I had one made about 2 months ago but due to 2 kids getting married, didn't have the time to start on the project. It's now bedded and the first 100 rds fireformed. I plan on using 87 Hornady V-maxs and RE15 with Rem 7 1/2 primers in Lapua cases. I've been ...

gold cup

Morrisey, My personal opinion's are as follows, I wouldn't waste the money. Gold Cup's carry a very high ratio of cost to value. Gold Cup uses the Eliason rear sight. Bo-Mar is a much better constructed sight that won't fail you. They need to have the frame & slide fitted, they need to have the barr...

Morrisey, A good hardball gun should run you between $1100 and 1300. If you want to look around you might pick up a used one from someone who has legged out and no longer wants to compete in that particular discipline. Used they should run between $650 and $900. If you want to buy over the counter I...

Bullseye,
Thanks for the heads up on only civilians getting numbered. I wasn't aware that Military shooters who went distinguished, weren't issued a number.

Live & learn. The only time you stop is when you're staring at the grass from the root side.
