Muzzle down always for me. This also stops the oil from soaking into and,in due time, ruining the staock.

When I started this thread, I did ask ‘What did you do today with regard to shooting’ but to be honest, I do like reading about ‘normal‘ life in the US. Yes, I would happily see it moved rather than closed. However, today, I accepted an invitation to a shoot next Saturday. 140 mile round trip...

Grumpy!😉😉😉

Made a tapping guide.

Remington New Model Navy, I would love it to death!

Thanks, subsequent ones got better as I went along of course, untill I was about 75% satisfied with my work I was forced into it because I comletely missed the locking screw not being engaged and bent the original pin at it's weakest part, damaging it ireparably.

Went for a walk with She Who Must Be Obeyed. lovely views, lunch at the beach, now worn out

I put the link in above, sadly S&S won’t ship to GB any-more, presumably since we left the EU. Shame, I had a shopping list too, including one of these https://www.ssfirearms.com/proddetail.asp?prod=SA450

I started this thread in December because I was frustrated at not being able to get my hands on two new to me revolvers and wanted to see what other members were doing. I don’t have any more preparation to do before I get the freedom to visit the dealer and the range again. It is interesting...

Made mine from brass and steel, both from the ‘scrap’ bin. Use it in an old English made, single stage press.

I did the same, bullets luubed and formed 1'unders size. 'Military' ie hot load to expand the base. Just don't expect keyole groups at any distance,bit do expect some fun.
