Because you can't have one. A man with cash can have an AUG. The Tavor is kind of forbidden fruit.....and Paletiger13 has been salivating over them for a long time now.

I probably own all the revolvers I'll ever own. The only revolver I want might be a Jerry Miculek 625, but I ain't giving over a grand for a dang handgun.

I haven't taken it down yet. Unsure if I will do that. I have been unable to allocate the funds due to a serious AR15 habit, but I'd really like to send the SP101 to Hamilton Bowen for his "Perfected SP101" package.

I admit, as much as I like my SP101 in .357, it's neither comfortable or highly accurate. It's plenty accurate for it's purpose, but the DA trigger pull has always been less than lovely, and impact at 7 yards has always been about 4-5 inches below POA. I've tried several loads, all the same results. I was shooting today, I put about 150 rounds through it. All 158g cast BBSWC loaded with AA#2, AA#5 and Bullseye. I had a few stoked up pretty close to max and that little pistola ROARS with full power loads. Getting to my point, I had what I can only describe as a SAFE negligent discharge. On the double action pull, I pull until just before it breaks, hold for sight alignment and then follow through. After a good thousand to fifteen hundred rounds, I have a good grasp on where it breaks....until now. Now the pull is dramatically smoother. When I pulled tight, I followed through unintentionally. Nothing unsafe as I was already on target down range, but subsequent shots all felt MUCH better. Groups tightened up a good inch and a half, and point of impact moved up three to four inches. Dang near point of aim. Tight enough that my shaky kneed skill level couldn't ask for more. SO, what happened? I know triggers will naturally get better with time, but dramatically, so suddenly? My only conclusion is that there was burr on a mating surface somewhere and it finally burnished itself smooth. I also noticed (even before today) that groups tighten up the longer I shoot. One would assume heat and fouling affects accuracy negatively, but going to the range with a clean bore, it will shoot MUCH better after 50-75 rounds. I'm not getting any leading with any of my loads, even when shooting in high volume. I shot enough today that I have a nice little blister on my hand from brushing up against the barrel. It was smoking pretty good on the bench. It being stainless, I'm about to the point that cleaning will, from now on, consist of a wiping down with a clean rag, and drop or two of oil here and there. I'm not going to clean the bore for a while. Maybe a clean patch run down it, but I'm going to leave it be and see what happens. Any thoughts, similar experiences or theories?

Yup! Suppressors are perfectly legal too. I wrote the TWRA earlier this year to ask and was told as long as they are legally owned NFA they are no problem. I was told to be darn sure to keep a copy of the paperwork for any curious gamewardens....but that's just good practice no matter where you go with it.

I hope so, for your sake. I remember when Century came out with those Golan Sporter rifles. I says to meself, welp, you'll never afford a real one, this ought to be so close you won't care for the difference. I was so disappointed to find it, like everything else Century arms has ever produced, was an absolute piece of . So was the replacement they sent. Heartbreaker. I'm going to wait on these until I read a few good reports. Then...I'll probably have to have one too;)

OOoooo, me likey. Makes me wanna go downtown to Ted's Montana Grill. Keep us updated.

Well, try not to have an epileptic seizure if it's true. Think of all those years you've waited....I hope you're not disappointed.

I can understand that, BUT, and I think the guys have drilled this one home already, it's a bad idea.

Well, the intrinsic value is gone. The dovetail is just another wound, but one that could be hidden by a crafty smith. If it were to be refinished, an insert could be soldered in before hand and a little peening & draw filing would hide it well. The only giveaway would be that it would be nigh impossible to get a color match as it would be equally impossible to find a metal of the same metallurgical composition. BUT, a good smith could get you so close, you probably wouldn't care. To be honest with you, given what the rifle used to be, I PERSONALLY, would spend a few bucks bringing it up to snuff. Not everyone feels strongly like some of us about old warhorses. To me, it would be the honorable thing to do, to atleast make it as nice as possible...you know, like someone cared;) Fix the dovetail Unless the crown looks really good, go ahead and recrown it since it'll be getting refinished anywho reblue it and strip that stock, put a new butt pad on and do a top notch refinish. .....but that's just me. ...then, go find a nice young buck worth eating....and shoot him with it.

I'm stupid.......They dovetailed what? Scope mount?

.357 mag w/ Hornady Leverevolution 140g FTX. He better be wearing some decent kevlar or he's going to have a really bad day. I don't care how many jackets he's wearing.

There's an entire article on reloading old rimfires using the method Dolomite mentioned, in the latest issue of Handloader magazine.

No need to go to jail. There's plenty of help hiding the bodies if ya know where to ask.

I watched part of it. I had enough, real quick. The only reason some people are allowed to live is because God told us we can't just go around killing them.

Fixed that for you. Just be happy with a "content for now" wife. You know, like the rest of us;)

You be mindful of how you show yourself. Reporting this is certainly what you SHOULD do, but exposing yourself as the whistleblower isn't conductive to peaceful living. I'm sure you knew that. I just wanted to be sure you remember.

Well, dang I was gonna offer a ride in an FJ, but it's yellow too!

:rock:

Neat idea. But I can't bring myself to dress like that. The day I wear long fancy pants, button & tuck in my shirt is the day I'm in chains headed to my execution by the yuppie squad. Corporate amerika is stuck in a fashion rut and I have a very un-polite suggestion as to what they can do with ties, slacks and high dollar loafers. Concealed carry couldn't be easier for sloppy, slovenly (meaning:comfortable) dressers like me. Hoodies, XXL Tshirts you get the idea.

Heck yeah!!! Almost there.

I use the Lee set up too. I use mine in a small benchtop lathe. I'm pretty quick with it and can deburr in the same setup.

As long as the molds are not aluminum. Aluminum will dissolve in molten zinc.

vaiger that's great. What bullet are you going to try first?
