I recently decided to try my hand at “Frontier Cartridge” category in the sport of Cowboy Action Shooting www.sassnet.com Frontier Cartridge requires the use of Black Powder in all the firearms used in this category. I’ll be shooting 38-40 cartridges in the revolvers and the lever action rifle, and loading for these is quite simple
PROPER 17HMR BORE GUIDE!
When Hornady developed the 17HMR rimfire cartridge, they really hit a home-run! And the rifle manufacturers turned out a plethora of rifles to chamber it.
But unlike the 22RF cartridge, which many seasoned shooters will tell you, might never need to have the bore scrubbed, the 17HMR with its “real” copper jacketed bullet and its extreme velocity, needs bore cleaning often.
The problem is, no one makes a “proper” bore guide for this type of rifle. Most 17HMR rifles are nothing more than 22RFM rifles with a 17cal barrel. And many of these 22RF rifles have one issue when you try to use a standard bore guide that protects the delicate chamber edge and the bottle neck area of the chamber. A fixed ejector is in the way.
This little “shark fin” is right in line with the chamber and is fixed. It doesn’t move out of the way. Therefore the bore guide you might use for your centerfire rifles will not pass by and work in this rifle.
Recently the group that oversees the “WILD BUNCH” shooting competition over at the “Single Action Shooting Society” modified the rules on 1911 magazine modifications and now allow a leather magazine pad on the bottom of our 1911 magazines.

We perform a modification to the magazine and the trigger guard on the CZ-527 that converts the exposed, some feel rather ugly, drop down magazine to a more modern looking flush mounted magazine. BEFORE AFTER Here’s what we do: Mill the trigger guard to a flush bottom fit. We do not offer blueing, so we
Well, it only took three years to get this rifle where I want it! It started it’s life as a model 112, stainless single shot in 300 Win Mag. I was building it for 300 and 500 yd Egg Shoots we hold at my local club, plus I’d take it out to Montana for 1000yd

Picked up a used Charles Daly Miroku Superior yesterday and it needed a couple simple modes…. First remove the very 1960s white line spacers Second… I’m not a big fan of ejectors. And this gun could fling spent shells into another county! I removed the two V springs that must have come from the rear
Recently I became involved with all things “Shotgun”….. Shooting Trap, Bird Hunting, Sporting Clays. This led to the purchasing of a few different types of shotguns over the summer months. My search for a 20ga Pump Action shotgun led me to the very fine Ithaca 37 model. This shotgun has been in production for nearly
Recently I became a fan of Trap Shooting. Went out and bought a beautiful Remington 11-87 Sporting Clays model shotgun. Adjustable comb and butt plate. Twenty Eight inch ported / back bored barrel with extended choke tubes. Amazing wood and a nickle plated receiver. Loverly! But when taken to the patterning board there was
