Re: WTB .219 Improved Zipper and/or .222 Rimmed Ammo Stanton Hillis 05/10/26 03:26 AM
We don't have woodchucks here, but crows pull up young corn seedlings, and play havoc with peanuts, too. I can sympathize with your Dad. I have an old 1947 Husqvarna Mauser .220 Swift that does occasional duty on crows.

Good luck in your search for ammo.

Additional barrel markings. Anyone recognize either of the marks on the left or right side? The initials with the heart appear to be "E.W". Likely the craftsman who made all or part of the rifle? I'm not sure what the two what look like cursive "R"s represent.

[Linked Image from image.ibb.co]

The "E.W." (often cursive, but sometimes straight) has appeared here in the forum various times, and I think Raimey gave several possible interpretations for it being a barrel maker's or barrel assembler's touchmark.

Now, the heart sign is a bit intriguing to me (but aren't mattters of heart always...?), because I have seen it too.
I find it on the 6,5x58R barrel of a nice Drilling of mine, Suhl nitroproofed; but the adjacent (repeated) small initials are "R.H" there.

I just bought a Beretta SPll 12 gauge with an automatic safety. Had to take it to a smith to have it changed to a manual safety. Works great, now!! 👍

Re: Broken firing pin Kutter 05/09/26 08:37 PM
A way too long FP can keep the gun from closing.
If the pin is hanging way out there, it's tip can end up underneath the extended extractor/ejector while closing the bbls. That makes for a clunk as the pin hits the underside of the extractor.
That can bend the tip on the already too long FP as well as put some dent damage on the underside of the extractor blade.

The extractors should have a shallow beveled cut in them to push a proper length FP (shorter protrusion) back into the action as the bbl is closed.

Cut the pin back so it allows somewhere betw .035 and .045 protrusion and with a nicely rounded and polished point.

Most everyone will have a perfect protrusion length for a FP, but I have found the above to be completely reliable with proper hammer fall and HS. Plus no un-necessary extra length to it.



...No peened yoke screw in the CSMCo Fox that I ever ran into. Not to say that they never did it though..

I'd suggest you start a new Thread to pose your question concerning a good finish on pitted SxS barrels refined with epoxy.

I'm sure the brain-trust of Ghostrider, DimmyW, and TransGomer Joff will offer some great thoughts that will only enhance the archive of accumulated knowledge here.

Afterwards, there may not be any solutions, but we could give participation awards to all who contributed.

Keith leave me out of your personal attacks, it took you over a week to get the balls up to try to fire back with your childish comments. You are just a miserable prick that try’s to throw a turd in the punch bowl on every post.
Be quiet little one, this is a site for adults.
By the way you never had the guts to PM me.
I bet you are a little troll living in your mother’s basement, next door to your best friend the Nazi.
We all know your kind, playing a badass behind the keyboard.
It’s clear you don’t have a life, your continual immature attacks are getting old. You try to bully your way on this sight.
Patting yourself on the back with your bullshit yet never posting any pictures of your fantasy guns.
Go away you little boy.
It’s time people that are fed up with your hate and nastiness voice their thoughts of your immature tirades. Many are afraid to be put on your personal attack list. This is why many don't stand up to you. The slithering skill you have honed to put down others, is a weak attempt to make you feel better about yourself.
You are like the little worm that would sit in the back of the classroom in grade school, creating a disturbance to try and get attention.
Most of the members on this forum have figured you out, you try to act like a tough guy but would put you tail between your legs and run if you ever had the misfortune of meeting any of the fine people you stalk, on the street.
Why you have been allowed to stink up this fine site with your festering and putrid infection baffles most of us.
Now go back down into your mother’s basement and try to pretend to be someone.


Nailed it.

He's nothing but a troll, and why his behavior is allowed is baffling.

I think those of us that are sick of his crap should blow up any topic where he's allowed to behave like that.

Nice example of the First Model.The peep sight looks like a Lyman. I wonder if Marble bought then in or made their own sights.
