Re: Hortonium canvasback 03/19/24 10:22 AM
What a bunch of nattering nabobs of negativity!

Just on general principles this crowd should be automatically supportive of Horton’s efforts. Or am I missing that there is a plethora of shot makers working to come up with a good, inexpensive alternative to lead.

Lead is very stable and naturally present in quantity in a lot of places. Just don't pulverize it or vaporize and breath it you'll be fine. It will just lie there. And if you eat a bit I'm sure you'll survive it unharmed!

Why then are the only carrion eaters that get airplay Eagles? Do not Crows and Vultures eat gut piles? Are they suffering?

The problem is that once an idea, which might have merit takes hold someone with an agenda will pick up the ball so to speak and push forward, with their own agenda. Someone like the aforementioned Jen.

Chief: Unlike eagles, crows and vultures don't have fan clubs. We now have eagles a lot of places where we hadn't had them for a long time. Their recovery is a real success story for wildlife management. Between banning DDT and the nontox requirement for waterfowl hunting, we've pretty much solved the eagle problem. If you see a dead deer along a road in Wisconsin, you're likely to find an eagle cleaning it up. During gun deer season in particular, it's possible that some of those eagles will ingest bullet fragments from deer that were wounded by hunters but not recovered. But I don't think that's a major concern. Far less likely, I think, that an eagle is very likely to feast on a crippled pheasant or grouse and ingest lead shot as a result.

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

Re: Gauges and payloads Jolly Bill 03/19/24 03:44 AM
Back about 11 or 12 years ago when I started shooting Sporting Clays and Skeet, I used standard factory 12 gauge target loads - 1 1/8 ounce.

I got a super good deal on a 12 gauge MEC Sizemaster and started loading my own. I downsized to 1 ounce and then 7/8 ounce and then 3/4 ounce. I then went one step further and started loading and shooting 1/2 ounce 12 gauge loads. I had them tested by Tom Armbrust 9 years ago this month. Pressure around 6,000 psi and the speed is about 1350 fps. Been shooting 1/2 ounce 12 gauge loads ever since at the rate of about 4,000 per year.

For Skeet and the Sporting Clays course at my club, there isn't a target thrown that can't be broken if you hit it. Correct, it doesn't smoke 'em but they do break if you hit them.

The old gents that I shoot with don't keep score and no big deal if you miss. More of a social event than a shooting event. I don't hunt anymore.

And I don't mind getting twice as many loads out of a bag of shot. I do shoot 20 gauge too and hand load 1/2 ounce in that gauge also.

One of our club's top notch trap shooters usually goes 25 straight in trap. I had him shoot a round with my 1/2 ounce loads. He broke 24 and didn't know if that missed bird was the ammo or him. He was delighted with the lack of recoil. Me too!

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.....

Regretfully I’m going pass on this gun , besides the fact single triggers just don’t look right. lol. Yesterday I had a chat with my gunsmith and a very respected bloke from England and neither were complementary on single triggers on a 100 year old gun.

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).
Mike

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.

Same gun and case with a changed label for my money. The difference in picture quality covers the possible detail discrepancies I`d think.
