Guessing: Target trigger Target hammer Target sights Target grips Target length barrel ...which is a bit confusing because I wouldn't normally call the Ivorex magna grips "target", so I must be missing something too. But I agree, it's a gun to be proud of!

Adjust your clothing choices for improved concealment. Roomy untucked shirts and/or a light sport coat work wonders, and can make you the best dressed man in WalMart.

See the spring at the front of the cyinder stop? Try to take pressure off the cylinder stop by compressing that spring with something, maybe a tiny screwdriver, and see if that will free things up. You can see that the cylinder stop should be free to move forward, but it's blocked by spring...

My first instruction to folks when teaching them to shoot is, "Forget everything you have seen and heard about guns on TV and in the movies. They don't handle firearms safely."

Just curious if you ever determined what the problem was?

I cannot tell you where I read it, but as I recall the starting load in grains of 2F/3F powder should be 1.5 times the bore diameter in inches, which would be (1.5X50=75) 75 grains of black powder. I recall reading that some old gunmakers would spread a sheet on the ground in front of their...

Nicely crafted. I envy your skill.

Wear gloves. Don't ask how I know.

I have used a food scale to measure trigger pull also. I hung a ziplock plastic bag on the trigger (poke the trigger through the upper corner of the bag). Cock the gun and hold it vertically and then pour lead shot (yeah, I was reloading shotshells at the time) into the bag until the trigger...

All my muzzleloader deer have been taken with T/C rifles; a Renegade and a Hawken. Love 'em! Hope the company can continue to give shooters unique choices.

Well done!

Yes. Hodgdon RS for "rifle/shotgun" (2F) Hodgdon P for "pistol" (3F). But I used RS for everything.

Dillon 550 was also my first choice in 1998. I also have no regrets.

Remove the plunger. Then stroke the loading lever. Does it bind? If so, figure out where it's binding. If the loading lever operates smoothly without the plunger, then dress down the plunger's diameter with sandpaper until operation is easy. The plunger just pushes the ball into the...

I learned to read by watching the dialogue bubbles in the cowboy comic books as my mother read to me. She also read Zane Grey novels to me at bedtime. Destry Rides Again, Riders Of The Purple Sage. The first word I wrote on my toy blackboard was "BANG". My grandparents were Randolph Scott...
