Black Powder Revolver Input ?

feeds@yuku.com (hammerdown7) — Sat, 17 Oct 2009 03:03:10 GMT

Hello
Early this spring, I had a guy walk onto the range with a Black Powder Revolver. It had a 10" Barrel, Fixed sights and was .36 Caliber. I watched him Intently as he got out all his Gear to Load and shoot this revolver. It took him awhile as he had to Get the lead balls, Powder, primers and Wads out to make his Load up for shooting it. Once we went to a Cease Fire, he walked down to The 100 Yard Target stop and Placed a target....

Lake City .223 once fired brass

feeds@yuku.com (Cpl Bushwacker) — Sat, 10 Oct 2009 22:51:45 GMT

So I got sick of watching our .223 brass going to the scrap yard and talked the boss into letting me take care of it, so that I could provide it to my fellow reloaders. We buy our rounds in Case Lots, so I have 07 and 09 Case lots and the tail end of our 06's. Trying to keep them together. These are Annealed cases once fired out of Rock River AR's. I load this brass myself and it is good stuff. These have the military crimped primers, not a big deal with the RCBS primer swager or the...

500 Smith and wesson

feeds@yuku.com (onenut58) — Fri, 09 Oct 2009 00:45:58 GMT

Well since discovering this thread my dreams of a 460 are dashed. Its a great idea that sounds like just dont work at least not for long. I have for many years procrastinated about reloading. Every body I know does so I plan to scrape up the gear and get into it and will probably be in here pestering all of you about it once I do. But I have refocused on a 500 magnum in the distant future. If I ever get one or not remains to be seen but its fun to hope. Any way they dont seem to have the...

Nothing beats a N frame

feeds@yuku.com (onenut58) — Fri, 09 Oct 2009 00:34:22 GMT

I like my K frames a lot and L frame is a nice one two, kind of a best of two worlds thing. But I just love the N Frame. I like the size and weight and feel of them and the look also.My favorites are the model 27 and 29 variants beggining back with the registetred magnum the ulitimate Smith and Wesson. Of course I am highly opinionated and dead set in my ways.It would be nice to have a 38-44 to though.

Moving

feeds@yuku.com (onenut58) — Fri, 09 Oct 2009 00:19:36 GMT

I have lived in Nevada since 1995 comming here from north Idaho for the construction work. No winter layoffs and high wages have kept me here. But a couple years ago when the economy started down and the housing started falling apart work got less and less. I hung in here hoping the Messia would let loose the infrastructure money he promised and that hasnt happened. I have watched the unemployment rate here rise to 13.5 and tent cites are popping up here families living in the city park and...

Any body like Motorcycles

feeds@yuku.com (onenut58) — Tue, 06 Oct 2009 01:43:07 GMT

Here is my fat butt on my 2005 superglide. I bought it new and mostly ride it back and forth to vegas to work.I put on a clip on windshield for winter riding and a luggage rack for my lunch bucket and some cheap saddle bags. It gets 42 miles to the gallon cruising at 80 mph. It has made its own payments in gas savings.From city limits here to vegas city limits it is 56 miles. I operate heavy equipment for a living so I am all over on different job sites in vegas so I usualy cover about 120...

29-3 Classic Hunter

feeds@yuku.com (jimg11) — Sat, 03 Oct 2009 19:20:28 GMT

I found a hunting revolver for Southern NH. Since they list the acceptable rounds as .357 Magnum, 10 mm, 41 Magnum, 44 Magnum, 45 (Long) Colt, .480 Ruger and .55 S&W I cannot use my Model 25 1955 .45 ACP and I feel that .357 Magnum is lighter than I want I have been looking for another hunting revolver. In 1987 Lou Horton requested that S&W make them a .44 Magnum model 29-3 with an unfluted cylinder, 6" full rib Barrel, 4 position adjustable front sight, and Hogue Rubber...

Sometimes it Takes a Group Effort of Friend's to complete a Package

Hello
Outside of the Registered Magnum I recently Purchased, I would have to say the Pride of my S&W Collection has to be my 1936 K-22 Outdoorsman. I remember back when I Bought it almost three Years ago, and how I could not sleep the Night before I Offered Two revolver's I had to swap for it. I was lucky the previous...

Hello
I attended a Gun show last weekend that has always been a small show, but noted to bring out some neat stuff. I was saddened as to what was there as I saw a Bunch of beat up Looking revolver's that did not Interest me in the least. I was able to pick up a neat K-Sq. Frame Target grips that are Double relieved. The Inner panel was hurt a little, But that is the Normal relieved panel and I knew I had some Orphans...

Our Governor in The State of Tennessee sold us Out !

I was Pleased to see this, as I have always carried where I wanted to any way's here, but it now made it Legal to carry in all State and Local parks. The Tree Hugger's and Gun haters did not like this...

Did S&W ever fix the problems with the 460

feeds@yuku.com (onenut58) — Tue, 08 Sep 2009 16:47:17 GMT
I read this old thread here about the 460 and this is the first I heard of it.it shocked me because a 460 is one of my gotta get guns for hunting back in Idaho. But from what I have read in this old thread they may not be what I want. The last posts on the subject look like they were in 2007. I was wondering if any one knows if there was any thing done about the flame cutting and forcing cone problems.If so what serial number ranges would a person have to avoid and or is there a fix for the...
