      Interchangeable Parts

      I sent an email to VTI (fingers crossed). Thank you!

      Interchangeable Parts

      Thank you Sir. I saw that too. Unfortunately that is foe a .22. I need it for a .45colt.

      Interchangeable Parts

      Ac Actually, both of my big bores are stamped "Made in Italy". I don't see that on the .22 though.

      Interchangeable Parts

      I have a Heritage Arms Rough Rider in 45colt. I need to replace the ejector tube. Heritage arms no longer supports their big bore revolvers. Being copied from the Colt M1873, does anyone know what parts are interchangeable from various other manufacturers? Specifically the ejector tube, but in...

      Wal Mart is making me “that guy”

      Before thieving became the norm, we did indeed pull up to the pump, get our gas, and go inside and tell them which pump it was. And self service was cheaper. If Walmart expects me to bag and checkout, they'll have to discount my ticket. As it is, I refuse to use self checkouts.

      Saturday Night Special .32 s&w discussion

      I don't need to do any homework. I have been reloading for 32 S&W in both BP and smokeless for a long time. As I have said a couple times now, my comment is only directed at the point that the cartridge is available in both forms. As for the topic of the thread, it was you that brought into it...

      Saturday Night Special .32 s&w discussion

      I wasn't commenting on the revolver and said so. I was commenting on the cartridge. You said the 32 S&W is a black powder cartridge. I am merely pointing out that the cartridge is available in both BP and smokeless.

      Saturday Night Special .32 s&w discussion

      I'm not familiar with the "Terrier One", but I am familiar with 32 S&W. Not ALL .32 S&W are black powder. The OP needs to learn more about his firearm before firing it, but to say 32 S&W is a black powder cartridge is misleading. I own and safely shoot both versions.

      WTB: Marlin A1 parts

      I'm trying to bring an old Marlin A1 back to life. The "breech bolt handle" is missing (as well as some other parts). I've tried all the usual suspects for parts and came up empty. I would like to buy the handle only, but willing to buy a parts rifle. HELP!?!? Bob Linville 3946 Parrish Road...

      AR builders database?

      I'm wanting to do cross referencing too. Compare LPKs used by price and supplier, for example.

      AR builders database?

      I started building a few ARs. I am looking for a database to keep track of components used, parts prices, brands, where i buy parts, serial numbers, accessories, etc. I want to do searches on such things as which rifles use a particular part, total costs,.... Anybody doing this?

      Seeking AR upper advice

      Just an update. The first one is complete and test fired. I went with a Wylde 16" barrel, mid-length gas system, with a rail gas block and iron sites. It recoils a tad hard but livable. I have to learn more about optics before upgrading. LOVE the firearm. Project two is well underway lacking...
