    LMF browning process

    Great photos meteorman,that is the finish Im goin to go for. Scalding only after the browning is complete sounds much easyer than after each coat. I guess I should play around with some scrap before I plunge in. thanx

    T.O.W trade gun kit

    Well one of the reasons I was goin with TOW was the shop work they offer (ie;the soldering). The out of stock thing worries me,I was "next week"ed once for 8 months before I cancelled the order,car parts,it was frustrating. Im looking around more now,Chambers has a left hand fowler and I...

    Ram Rod Tips?

    you could drop a ball of hardened epoxy into a small jar of the oil and see what happens. Or two pieces of wood epoxied together,placed in the jar.

    single vs double moulds

    I,m about to order a .490 lee round ball mould,and Im wondering if there is any disadvantage to the two cavity mould. Ive used a borrowed single cavity,and was happy with the results,but if you can make two at once why not?

    replacing rear sight lyman GPR

    The primitive sight was a few thou undersize,in thickness,but I think that is common.I read one post where a fella had tried a couple of replacements and they were all small. The solder sounds like a much better idea than my shims(wish I'd thought of that),but the shims seem OK with the gun...

    replacing rear sight lyman GPR

    I just removed the adjustable rear sight that was factory installed on my GPR,and when I went to put on the primitive rear sight (included with the gun)it was way undersize,slipped right through the dovetail. So.....I cut shims from an aluminum beer can (seemed to be a few layin around :grin: )...
