Thought I had and issue with primer sizes but it turned out the modules just take a whole lot more force to set than I was expecting and used to on my 45-70 shell casings. I deleted/edited out my original post. Now I really do feel dumb!! Thanks John

I just got my barrel with the H.I.S. ignition back from Jeff Hankins and put the rifle back together tonight. Dummy me decided to put one of the modules into the plug for a fit check and was unable to get it to come out until I pulled the gun apart again and tapped the barrel on the floor and...

Received the below from Powder Valley that there will be a SIGNIFICANT price increase this year. I wonder how bad!

Just read this from Newsweek Vista Outdoor, a parent company to many firearms businesses, told Newsweek that it will substantially increase its ammunition prices due to "an anticipated global shortage of gunpowder." Just when things were starting to seem better. 😕

Curious to find out how many of us, use/don't use, an over the powder wad and why when using sabots. I have never seen or heard of the practice. Does it improve your accuracy? Make cleaning easier? Do you only use wads and sabots when using certain powders/charges? I am familiar with the...

Hi, I am in need of an original/early style firing pin bushing, it's one that has a hole in it for a retaining screw. I recently bought a barrel with action attached but it's missing the bushing and other parts. I was able to find a pin, screw and spring (have a Bellm one) but not the bushing...

Midway does some odd things at tines. The 8oz bottle is only $4.28

On Feb 28 I bought a box of 100 45 cal, .452 245 grain Spitzer Seconds from Midway USA for $51.79. I thought that price was a bit high but they work well in one of my rifles and was getting low on them. Today's email from Midway comes in and they are now $73.99 for a box of 100. Holy crap...

I was remiss in posting this sooner. Purchased a DISC Extreme Bolt Conversion for my Original DISC from him. Pleasure to work with and understanding in the delay to get my payment to him quickly because of our snow storm. Product was identical to the pics he posted. I would certainly buy from...

I recently bought a used stainless Original DISC with camo stock and it came with the plug shown in the pic along with a new one of the same type. I had never seen them before and did some research on here and saw they were called crossfire breach plugs supposedly designed for use with pellets...

Someone was asking in one of the threads, sorry couldn't find it again, what modification Knight does to a bolt to convert an extreme/mountain bolt for use in an Original DISC. I compared two bolts, one unmodified that is in my extreme and one sent in to Knight for modification (thanks Steve...

Well, this one was/is a doozy. 14.1 inches of very wet/heavy snow where I live, no power or heat for 30 hrs. Trees down in my yard with one on a neighbor's fence and shed. Damn garage door wouldn't open for some reason with out power either, manual seems to not be working. Get power back and my...

Bought the Bushnell Prime from him. Super nice to work with and an easy exchange. Scope came the next day, as it turned out we are only 50 miles or so away from each other! Scope exactly as described. John

CVA currently has refurbished /blemished Wolf and Optima V2's on sale for 150.99 and 225.99, respectively. You don't get a choice as to what they will send. Shipping is free but you have to pay tax. I took a chance and first ordered a Wolf and received a Black stock, Blue barreled version that...

Got this in an email and sorry, just couldn't resist!!

Shawn sold me the most beautiful Mk85 54 cal with Black Ice treatment in the world! Hard to believe this rifle is 35 years old and included the original box and associated VHS tape!! Wow. This transaction was smooth and effortless. Shawn is an absolute pleasure to work with and he totally...

Scope is a 4-12×40. 3.5 inch eye relief, assume that is at 4X. Made in the Philippines and is selling for $149 at Cabela's. BDC type reticle. Doesn't give the weight. States FOV23.6' - 7.9' @ 100 Yards. Any thoughts? A review on Basspro stated: This is a Bass Pro exclusive version of the...

So I know this is a silly question but how do the T/C base adapters work? I have seen some for the Thunderhawk (pic) but mine only has two screws for the scope mounts and the adapter has multiple screw holes. Could I install this adapter and then a normal ring mount or then need a special T/C...

I know Badger Ridge will modify these plugs but I am capable of doing my own and have done CVA plugs following Ron's procedures and they have worked great. I have a couple Traditions rifles that I am thinking of modifying to use a vent liner so as to not have any BH issues and save on plugs...
