Where were you able to obtain the 365 grain heads? US, UK or Canada?

Would be very interested if in North America,

Cheers,

That is a pity that they only bored out the 38 S&W. My converted version will not chamber38 S&W only 38 Specials which is why i made a rather careful inspection of the cylinder's front and found the...

I have one of the C&H converted M&Ps. If you look very carefully at the front of each cylinder, you will see a concentric circle about 0.5mm out from the "hole" in the front of each chamber. What...

I have one from way back when you could pick them up for less than $80 complete (using a C&R licence). I also have one of the target Models which required a little bit of amateur gunsmithing Light...

Thanks Smellie: I knew a fair amount about the screw-ups at Enfield but not the 20 mm stuff. Now the "Enfield Mk VI" is sitting with its half sisters (1916, 1917 and 1918 in 0.45 ACP) and one from...

I have a few, and thanks to Peter, a replacement grip screw for a 1939 No 2 Mk 1 (same age as me). One that is interesting is a 1942 No 2 Mk 1 (a lunchbox gun perhaps) that has the full hammer...

Browsing through a very nice gun store in Athens Ga earlier today, I picked up what I originally thought was a "cut" 0.455 Webley Mk VI. However, the markings were not what I was used to, nor was...

Can find them in SE PA for around 33-36 per 1000 from my friendly local gun store. Dave_n

I received one (the smaller version) from my Kids for my 70th birthday and have found it to be an excellent gift. I still do a lot of travelling for Uncle Sam (no retirement age in the US gov't)...

Nicely described Ed. Dave_n

Once you receive it, scan it in in color and then simply print out a pdf and sign. Can even add comments to the other half of the page as it comes as an 8.5 x 5.5 sheet (or almost half an A4). ...

Yes Bill, that was my point, the Glocks are not fully supported in 10/0.40s or 0.45s, but a slight overload in the lower pressure 0.45 is not "so much of a potential problem". I have medium sized...

Personally, I would go with the Model 21 in 0.45 ACP but reload with clad bullets. Although not a fully supported chamber, the 0.45 is not a high pressure round whereas the 0.40 is (relative terms),...

I did go, but on the Friday night. A few very ratty enfields, all mixmasters including one Savage No 4 Mk 1 with a PF serialed bolt!! I checked them with a set of gauges from Brian Dick, none...

If memory serves me correctly the RF84F was the recce version of the Thunderjet, known colloquially as the "Thunderflash" and was the only sweptwing version. Dave_n

I have a "friendly local bullet caster" who runs a few thousand 0.360 180 grain lead bullets for the 38/180s (close enough to the 38/200) and also runs 250 grain 0.454 heads for my Mk VIs and the odd...

That is a pity. Cannot you arrange for 38 S&W cases and lead bullets to the "FC"? Dave_n

Many thanks Jim. Has been added to my "stash of info". I note the "past tense" referring to the 1939 model. If you ever make it across the herring pond, let me know and you can "exercize...

Well, Peter turned up trumps again. Coming to the aid of an expatriate Brit. the screw and nut arrived today, I came home for the weekend and lo and behold, after a little bit of scraper work, and...

I no longer use the hand auto prime from Lee, I simply find that the mechanical one works much more easily and no "carpal tunnel syndrome" after lprimng a 1000 or so cases! Dave_n

Louis:

The Lanc actually carried roughly four maybe even 5 times the bomb load of the B17. It could carry the 22000 lb Tallboy (10 Long tons). Due to the B17's wing spar the bomb bay could only...

Glad to see you still have those new photos Ed. Mind you, God help any Canadian Armourer who has to work on the Gaspe Peninsula and who is not from there. Even people from Quebec City cannot...

Thanks Peter for your very generous help with my grip screw problem.

The pistol is effectively identical to the second one from the top of the five shown on P124 of Skennerton's book on the...

Hi Peter and Jim:

The grips appear to be original (though the pistol appears to have gone through Egypt from the Arabic inscription on the top right of the butt) and are effectively identical to...

Hi Jim:

They are the smooth walnut, no escutcheon, no disc, just about a 3/16" diameter inletted hole on the nut (RHS) side. No Thumb space. Will check my Skennerton Book on the No 2 when I get...
