If it's slick and greasy, it'll work.

Will these bee made in the U.S. by Colt, or by Umerex? I don't believe Colt can produce a revolver of the same quality the old snake guns had, at a price anyone would be willing to pay.

Looking at our post counts, it seems we've both ad quite a case of oral diarrhea in that time.

I'm somewhat of an Ithaca buff, but that's a new one on me! It appears to be in very fine condition.

....Looks mighty cool, David!

Good. You might note that you've never sold one to me. Perhaps I'm alone in this.

You're absolutely correct, and Dave always states this in his ads. I'm not put out or stressed about it, I just thought he might want to know this policy has prevented him from selling things in the past.

None of this is required by law, and has costed you several sales.

This thread should be pinned!

My house, your house, McDonald's parking lot....where ever.

Glad to have you!

As long as you don't start wearing orange, welcome to TGO!

Muzzle blast?

Bourbon! If it doesn't make you feel better, at least it'll make you feel better about it.

Good gracious! This will be a holiday season to remember. Surely they'll get you back on your feet soon.

Great tutorial! I use a deer antler as a burnishing tool. I've also found a shoe brush to be a great polishing/finishing tool. After applying Resolene, I like to apply neutral shoe polish and buff with this brush. I don't have the chisels for the stitching holes. I may have to try them sometime. With an overstitch wheel and an awl, something like a double layer belt is quite tedious. These look like they might make it go a bit faster. I'd add a rawhide maul, or hard rubber hammer to your list of tools. I also find a freehand groover very useful in addition to the groover pictured above. Tandy Leather is your one stop shop for leather and accessories. Their staff is also helpful and knowledgeable. Make sure to use vegetable tanned leather for sheaths and holsters, as chrome tanned leather can be corrosive to steel. I like to use shoulders, but other parts, such as sides would work also. 4/5 oz for small sheaths and mag pouches, 6/7 oz for larger sheaths, and 7/8 oz for holsters.

Right, but he said he'd like to do this to save money, and those aren't the most economical bullet on the market. In fact, I've found these make for a great, light plinking load for the 303 Savage. It's pretty much the same as the 30-30. http://www.midwayusa.com/product/222789/hornady-bullets-30-carbine-308-diameter-100-grain-short-jacket-box-of-100

Yeah. Picture firing your rifle, it recoiling, and a sharp bullet tip resting against a live primer in the round ahead of it. See the potential problem? I'm not sure it's ever happened, but it would be exciting if it did.

Tandy Leather in Nashville has everything you could need or want. The employees there are also usually very helpful and knowledgeable, although a few of them are a bit odd.

It works pretty much the same. You occasionally need to trim and chamfer/deburr the case mouths, and you'll want to lube the cases before running them through the sizing die. Also, you'll use flat nose bullets, and not spitzers since they'll be loaded end to end in a tube magazine. I find IMR 3031, and Win 748 to be fine powders in the 30-30. In fact, it seems most suitable powders for 223 work great in the 30-30.

If one's good, two's gotta be better!

The flu is rough! Hang in there. It'll get better in a few days.

Just wait 'til you learn how much the average law enforcement agent knows along the side of the road. Were I on private land as you stated, I'd do as I damn well pleased. Your mileage may vary.

That's actually about the most simple sheath I've ever seen.
