Just installed the ejector in my 788 today. Fits and functions perfectly. Case falls out of the action at my feet. Very happy.
Forum: Cast Boolits
As long as the fit is good, there shouldn’t be issues. Fit is king. Seat the boolit, crimp, then pull it to see if it’s the correct size still. Lubed or coated makes no difference. I’ve shot both...

I say this in all seriousness, make them yourself. I buy them when there's a deal to be had but making them is easy and cost effective with the right equipment.

I was gonna buy a Kahr Arms CW9 that a gun shop got on close out for $275. Went to a Cardinals game tonight and they had a Willie McGee 82 Wolds Series signed bat. I already got dad the signed Bob g...

Charlie, please don't be so quick to judge. Take it apart and give it what it might need. Maybe a cleaning, maybe the ejector is worn. Give it a think.

Battis, where is that 351 at??? Do they have a website with pics?
Forum: Factory Rifles
Batt is and CW, you have goals. Well done. I’m on the hunt for the WSLs as well.

I agree on the Winchester design ethos back then being some of the prettiest produced. I have an 1890, two 94s, a 70, and a 1905. Saw a 62 with deluxe wood on the wall at a Kansas gun shop 2 weeks...

It's a Ruger 10/22 that's been fancied up a bit. All the controls are the same and the rotary mag looks like a twin. I'm not knocking the Ruger, but a lot of things can be done to these rifles with...

I’d throw Henry into the ring as well. Much easier to find, lifetime warranty, and I love mine. Action is smooth, either blued/case hardened/brass receivers, optional HEAVY octagon barrels.

Just wanted to say how nice and easy it was to do business with Wisner's. I was looking for an ejector for a Remington 788 in 3030. Not only was it in stock, they MACHINE the new ejector. The factory...
I have been staring and drooling at these little j frames!

Same here, got them as a bday present from the wife. Don’t know how I got along without it

I have 3 of the BSA Sweet 22 scopes. All are serviceable. Fairly clear glass and adjustable objective for parallax. On the CZ455, I have a Mueller 8-24 power that is parallax adjustable as well. It...

I think we all had the same idea. Cast up 25lbs of the ELCO boolit today. I’ll finish the other 25lbs next week.
Forum: Rimfire Area
I understand the seasoned barrel crowd and the clean every use crowd. I'm a mix. Some of my rifles only see lead rounds and they get patched but only brushed once a year. Two of my rifles get a mix...

I suppose that could be done with a strong 2 part epoxy. I hadn't thought of that, and that thought is a good one.

I'm not saying I don't invest in a 401k and a Roth IRA. I do. But I do look at most of my gun purchases with eyes on not losing money, including inflation. It's worked so far and has introduced me to...

I don't own one, but they seem to be a nicer 340. They use a threaded barrel like the 340, same as the newer 110 and Axis models. The bottom metal is the same and they are removeable mag fed. If...
Forum: Factory Rifles
I really love my Axis in 223 and think it deserves some siblings.
Forum: Factory Rifles
Ferg, if that's the case, I'm gonna fill the new safe with Axis rifles and wait 30 years! I just picked up a 340 yesterday and a 788 a few months ago and they aren't anywhere near the $65 they were...

I don't think graphite is gonna hurt the brass. I do however clean my tumbler bowl once a year. Lots of built up carbon and wax. Get some dish soap and hot water and scrub with a Magic Eraser...
I use a grease on the slide rails and locking lugs. I use the same grease on lever gun receivers, bolt actions, etc. on bolt actions u smear a ver light coat on the rails and a light colt on the bolt...

All this conference realignment drives me nuts. The teams are all going to the sec or big10. Some to the big12, but eventually it will all be those two conferences and everyone else will be left out,...
