Isn't that a younger Fred Ziffel, 4th from the left?

Or cases can be made from 45/90. Midway has Starline brand 45/90 in stock now. Dies? Check with CH4D.

I'll bet someone swapped that bolt body somewhere along the way. When it wouldn't work, they cut the front edge down thinking maybe that was the reason it wouldn't work. We were having some discussion about bolts being interchangeable here: http://castboolits.gunloads.com/showthread.php?199833-What-...

<r>Hmm, vertical line on the guide rib went away, must've been a reflection. Only cure now is a chamber reamer, one that has flutes on the rear that also cuts the rim seat into the breech face, like the one I have pictured. I'd think any 25-35 reamer would have them.

It would force the handguard to rotate left, leaving a large space between handguard and stock on the right. We ar...

<r>My 92/96 rifles like the NOE 311365, a spire point. I see NOE has a 5 cavity in stock. http://noebulletmolds.com/orders/catalog/index.php?cPath=30&sort=2a&page=3 I generally use slower burning powders than most cast bullet shooters. The cast bullets seem to like the lower pressure. Group ...

Well, if Paul ever gets around to loading the cast bullets I gave him, you all can get together at Washtenaw's cast bullet matches. I might manage one or two trips this year. It's a long way from Upper Appalachia to lower Michigun!
