petrol that's a great option as a last resort, I had not thought of that, that would be the least destructive method if all else fails.

Yes trigger group & all other parts have been removed from receiver.

Thanks for all the responses guys, very happy to have a peep sight on this rifle now. Next year I might actually hunt with it.
Anyone feel there is any benefit to the williams brass ringed disk...

I have long looked for a small, not-side-mounted, peep sight for my lyman great plains rifle. I recently received into the shop what I believe to be a T/C hawken that had a peep on it and I found to...

Thanks for the ideas guys, I ended up dipping the strips in egg then breadcrumbs and frying in shallow level of oil in a pan, turned out really nice. Crispy and flavorful.

What is your favorite recipe for ruffed grouse? (we call it partridge here but I gather that's not exactly correct)
I've got the breast already cut up and sitting in reconstituted buttermilk to...

I would definitely just get the brownells set if you want to do things right. The gun shop I bought had about 50 nice Grace screwdrivers with it, many carefully ground by the previous owner to...

the electrolysis cleaner really works and you can make a low power (low risk of any damage) unit really simply off an old cell phone charger and a straight piece of metal rod with electrical tape...

I think electrolysis cleaning is a real time/labor/money saver for this sort of thing. You can burn through $5-10 in brushes/cleaning solvent/patches before you know it on a bad barrel, while...
I hope lyman doesn't stop making them completely that would be a real loss

Agreed, never noticed this thread back then and glad someone brought it back to the top. I have a lyman tru-line jr die holder that is an odd number, the only reference I ever found to it was in an...
