Thanks, That is about as good an explanation as I've seen. Who originated the bitcoin?

I'm all ears if you care to explain it to us. I've done a bit of looking, and so far I haven't been able to get a grasp on how this thing works.

I thought about this very thing while watching the news last night. I told my wife that something like that could well happen here in the future, and I don't intend to take to the streets with a clawhammer or baseball bat. It is sad that an entire country of people aaren't able to defend themselves.   I think that private gun ownership is the one thing that keeps us from being in a similar situation today.

No. I expect he meant me. :hat:

Why?   I know what is in there if I did it. I have no idea what the gunsmith did to it. Not necessarily a 1911 safety, but I've seen some seriously botched jobs come from supposed gunsmiths.

:shake: I just knew one of us would win!!! :drama:

If the problem was indeed that the primers weren't firmly seated, I expect the firing pin seated them on the first strike, and they should fire if you try them again. If they don't fire the second time, I'd look at the crimp.

I don't think you will go wrong with either choice. It boils down to personal preference really. Do you like the thought of a double action, or does a cowboy looking revolver suit your fancy more?   I would prefer the Vaquero, simply because I think it is a pretty gun, and never cared for the looks of a Redhawk that much.

I've installed a couple, being a southpaw myself. I'm not particularly mechanically inclined, but I found it to be a fairly simple, straightforward process. You will likely need to do a bit of filing and/or stoning. Take a little off at a time, and reassemble and check your progress often. You can always take a bit more off, but adding material back is a bit more involved process.   I feel it is a good exercise, and it will help you understand the operation of your pistol more thoroughly.   By the way, welcome to TGO! :up:

I'm pleased with what I have, and really don't have any use for any more. That being the case, I'm always looking for just one more.

Sounds good.   So, have you tried a polymer upper receiver?

When do you anticipate having your lower parts kits ready for sale?   Also, do you have plans for a matching polymer upper receiver?   Sorry for all the questions. I'm looking for parts. I have two sons, and we plan for each of them to build their own rifle. Tennessee manufactured parts would be a plus in my opinion.

The gun's only value is as a shooter. It has been renickled, chromed, or something, and well worn since then. If it locks up tight, however, it should be very accurate, and great fun to shoot.   The grips, on the other hand, should be worth what the gun is worth if not a bit more.

I don't comprehend what you are saying. :ugh:

I'm an AK.

I'll say something about the Lee perfect Powder Measure. Mine works as well as anyone's with flake and extruded powders. It doesn't do well with ball powders. I usually use a Lee dipper and trickle up to the correct weight when using ball powders.   It sometimes leaks a bit with flake powders, but it isn't a big deal. Just sweep up when you're done. Don't vacuum powder! The little balls of ball powder tend to get into the cone shaped rotor and bind it up. It is awesome with stick powders as long as you keep the reservoir over half full.                                 http://www.petsmart.com/product/index.jsp?productId=11147342&utm_source=googleproduct&utm_campaign=11147342&utm_medium=cse&mr:referralID=5ebd5ca6-9bd8-11e3-beb7-001b2166c2c0 Here's the bedding media I was referring to.

The best I've found come from my reloading bench. Why not load your own?

I've often wondered how they get the smell out of a coyote pelt. When deer hunting, it isn't uncommon to smell a coyote before you see him. man, they are rough! :puke:

Wow!!!........you have an indoor pool? :cool:

Wow!!! :stunned: I've left a considerable fortune laying on the ground the last few years. I'm not aware of anyone in our area that still buys furs.       Oh yeah, broox: I think that was Roadrunner. :hiding: :rofl:

The cast iron press is definitely a better press, but the aluminum will make a LOT of quality ammunition.

I've had a Frankford Arsenal tumbler for many years, and it still works just as it did when new.   Corncob pet bedding media with a squirt of Nu Finish car polish is an inexpensive alternative to gun brass specific media. It is larger, however, and tends to get lodged in bottleneck rifle brass. It works well with pistol brass.   With the tumbler, you'll also want to get a sifter/bucket combo to separate the brass and media after cleaning. You might devise some other way to do it, but you'll need something.   Now that I think of it, I don't believe case lube has been mentioned. You'll need it for the rifle brass, but if you get carbide pistol dies, it won't be necessary for them.       http://www.amazon.com/Lee-Precision-50th-Anniversary-Reloading/dp/B00162RM3E Have you considered a kit?

I would suggest you start with the hand primer. It is a small expense, but a big improvement over priming with a press.   I'll sometimes sit on the couch and watch a movie while priming a batch of cases with my hand primer.   Pull an umprimed case from one coffee can, prime it, and pitch it in the other coffee can.

Well, you DO ask some weird questions.
