Re: Hortonium CJ Dawe 03/19/24 11:41 AM
In regard to the red hot billets in the factory promo video, my first assumption was it was a billet of some other un kown material just to display the workings of the production facility???.... maybe I didn't watch it long enough but I didn't see any shot or bullet end product

I'm fairly certain that is not carving, but stamping. When enlarged one can see that the tops of a letter or two aren't impressed as deeply as others, lending credence to the stamping of each letter. It's hard to hold those stamps perfectly for each lick.

Re: Gauges and payloads Stanton Hillis 03/19/24 11:13 AM
Interesting, Bill. My club has two sporting ranges, the red and the blue courses. The blue is what most accomplished sporting shooters would consider soft. The red is much more challenging, with some long stuff on edge. I enjoy it so much more. Unlike y'all we do keep score, and are trying hard to beat each other. There are three of us that can carry the day, on any particular day, and the competition is tough. We enjoy that, ribbing each other about misses and trying to interrupt the shooter's concentration by joking at critical moments, and planting negative thoughts. There is no way that a 100 straight could be shot on that course with a 3/4 oz. load, IMO. It's doubtful that a 90 could be.

I shoot a 9 lb. Perazzi and want to utilize it to it's fullest potential. For me, that's with 1 oz. and 1 1/8 oz. loads at about 1150-1175 fps. No recoil to speak of in that gun. When I shoot my vintage doubles I drop to the lower end of the "chart", per gauge, that I posted in my initial post.

Thanks for the comments. I'm trying hard to understand, it's just way out of my paradigm.

Re: Beesley Single Trigger Sandlapper 03/19/24 11:07 AM
I've got a Scott Premier circa 1924 with SST that is a Lard via Westley Richards design. People give the L. C. Smith SST a hard time, but of all the Smiths I've had with one, and a WR droplock heavy 12 I have, they have never failed. WR put them on many of their heavy caliber double rifles, which should be a testament to their reliability. Sandlapper

Re: Shotgun shell pressure testing GLS 03/19/24 10:12 AM
As Drew mentioned, live ammo can't be shipped by USPS. I shipped rounds for pressure testing yesterday at UPS. It is a 20 minute drive from home to the UPS Consumer Counter at the UPS warehouse. Be prepared to pay through the nose as an adult signature is required which runs up cost. UPS Stores are franchises that won't ship ammo. There was a counter sign dated Aug 2022 that stated" guns or gun parts can no longer shipped by UPS except by "return service". The clerk said that UPS requires an FFL to ship. She speculated that it would be a matter of time before ammo shipments were prohibited--pure speculation on her part but who here would be surprised? As Brent mentioned in another thread, length of chamber in testing gun is critical in establishing short shell pressures. Boyle's Law regarding gas pressure and volume is at play rendering inaccurate shell pressures for shorter than 3" ammo in a 3" pressure testing gun chamber. For shortshell (2") 12 gauge, Tom Armbrust refers such testing to Bruce Ducksworth, Bruce's Big Bore Ballistics,

Re: A short video on barrel sleeving. gunman 03/19/24 09:01 AM
Interesting .Having been heavily involved in sleeving myself its interesting to see other peoples methods .
I see you cut off in front of the bars where others including myself cut off in front of the chamber cones .We didn't see you method of machining the backends and I would have liked to see how or if your way differed from ours , bearing in mind with welded joints the marrying up of faces would not be so critical as with soldered joints .Did surprise me that you bored chokes in the lathe before fitting the tubes though

I love this series.

Tim, I would agree with that. The Royal Armouries have a fine library and I have contributed to it in the past. Better to go for all to be able to use. I would say to anyone wanting assistance from the library there is that they are very, very helpful. Lagopus.....

Re: krieghoff TRUMPF Drilling parts Der Ami 03/18/24 03:08 PM
Terry,
I gave you a suggestion on your other posting above. The locating pin in the insert barrel might be repaired by refining the damaged area, if not, it can be replaced. The firing pin can likely be annealed, straightened, and rehardened. If not the old one can be used as a sample to turn a new one. The top lever springs in German guns are often pretty much standard and springs from other guns are often close enough to be modified to fit. I have a German single shot "tip up" rifle that came to me with one side of the spring broken off. As a "stop gap measure" I "jammed" a broken leaf of another spring from my junk box into the "v" of the broken spring. I haven't had a need to make a correct replacement after 30+ years of use(this depends on where the break is).

Re: NEW MEMBER WITH KRIEGHOFF Der Ami 03/18/24 02:27 PM
xkkat,
The repairs you need are neither particular to Krieghoff or especially difficult to accomplish. I suggest you turn the drilling over to one of your excellent Australian gunsmiths for repair. I am certain you will be pleased with the results.

Re: Rook Rifle Reloading Tool Argo44 03/17/24 05:44 PM
I believe paradoxically that Berdan primers became predominant in Europe; Boxer primers in America which might explain the Remington Cartridges. Berdan patented his primer in America in March 1866; Boxer in UK 13 October 1866. How this juxtaposition came about, which persists to this day, is history to be explored.

Re: I have posted this to warn others about this fraud 1916XE 03/17/24 04:43 PM
There are a few things to learn from this:

1. The good point on red flag-NO RETURN
2. Communicate with your wife
3. If it looks too good to be true...or too $$$.

I no longer buy guns on auctions, but I will contact the seller privately-
especially if he is like Leroy Merz in MN. Or of excellent similar character.
