Re: Looking for 2400, DFW area

That is it. I have a rifle that uses it, and nothing else will really do. A pound will probably last me 6+ years at 11.8 gr/round, so not really worth haz mat fees to ship online.

Re: HB1911 Com Substitute

If my current representative cannot get what I need done, then I must seek another.

Re: Grandpa's rusty shotgun

Two ways you can go. Clean as suggested above, only I would use a copper (pure, not copper plated steel) chore boy on the rusty spots. And shoot away, remembering granddad. Keep well oiled. Take it to a reputable smith for a complete reblue. Then treat everything with reniasance (sp?) Wax and store ...

Re: SB 16 - priority bill, reduction of LTC fees

The bill is not costing the State. The bill is costing the citizens. That money does not belong to the State until a fee is paid.

Re: I am looking for a skilled reloader

With the hardness of silver, hollow points would look cool, but not expand at all.

Re: I am looking for a skilled reloader

I would suggest having the bullets turned on a lathe rather than cast. If it is only for a display and no powder, simply have the bullets turned a few thousandths undersized and insert in the cases.

Re: Lubricant in the barrel of a revolver?

On the topic of barrel lube. I have shot .38 wadcutters, home cast and lubed with a soft beeswa, based lube, until lube was dripping from the end of the barrel. No harm.

Re: Lubricant in the barrel of a revolver?

But it is not immovable like the recoil shield. I do not know about centerfire, but oil in the chamber of my .22 semi auto will cause jams.

Re: Lubricant in the barrel of a revolver?

Oil In the chamber is bad because the case cannot grip the chamber walls, in any firearm. Shouldn't matter, as the cartridge being fired is back against the breech face. The seal is that of case expansion, achieved by chamber dimensions, not oil or a lack there of. In revolvers, but the OP also men...

Re: Lubricant in the barrel of a revolver?

Oil In the chamber is bad because the case cannot grip the chamber walls, in any firearm. For storage, oil can do no harm.
Oil in the barrel might affect accuracy in target shooting, but not enough for sd. In salty coastal areas, it may be a necessity.
