All, I have a completely disassembled North American Arms .45 Win Mag/.450 Express. I purchased it as is. All the parts are there, though it needs a new loading gate spring. I'd like to get it reassembled and functioning properly. Do you know of any reputable gunsmiths capable of this? Thanks

Did Pre-'64 Model 70 Featherweight .30/06, Monte Carlo Stock come from the factory with recoil pad? I know there were aluminum and plastic butt plates on Featherweights. And steel ones on the standard rifles. The one I'm wondering about was made in 1956. It has an early Leupold 3-9 Vari-X with...

Ah, the 7 x 57. My first and only love as cartridges go. My love of the 7 x 57 began in high school, when I was 15-16. I was trying to decide on what would be my caliber for big game. I read alot of Jack O'Connor and his wife Eleanor. But what finally sold me on a decision I have no regrets for...

Ah, but if it did;)

Hi, Yes, I did purchase several Ace Cases. I am pleased. They are well made, and the ones I purchased fit very nicely. I'm purchasing more, this weekend.

Regarding the .243; I've never been sold on hi-velocity. To be honest, if I was to load for a .243, I would like to use a heavy bullet, say 120- 160 grain, Round Nosed Soft Point. But, I'm a fan of the 7x57 Mauser with 175 grain Round Nosed Soft Points. I guess I'm a dreamer.

Thanks, I'll check it out

So,,,, the search now includes a period correct, 9-1/2" barrel to return the gun to "as shipped!" :D Yes, I think so!

Well, I looked the RSS9X over, and it was cut down to 5 1/2". It was done well. The only difference I can see is that the bore was not chamfered, as compared to another. The outside was, but not the bore. Again, it was well done. -4", a bummer. But, the search can go on, ha, ha. Maybe the...

Hi, Is there a post, or source, that explains the meaning of the Ruger Model Abbreviations? Thanks

The .243 would be good. But, confidence in a caliber of choice goes a long way to success.

Well, for those that may be interested, here are the results of my Single Six Letters Requests. Enjoy. By the way, guessing the RSS9X is a 9 1/2" Barrel... what happened to the missing 3" or so?!?! Produced in May 1957; Designated as a Model Single Six .22 lr; Shipped to Stoeger Arms Corp in...

Next? Well, right now, I'm lettering all my Rugers. Single Sixes are done. Next, the Blackhawks. I'll do a separate thread on the Single Six letters. Next goals... not sure, but, likely missing barrel lengths. I need to figure out what I'm missing, 10" barrels for sure. Maybe a 4 5/8" somehow. I...

Try this link. As I recall, when I unconverted a Single Six, this helped me with the basics of disassembly and reassembly. Its easy to do, and if you look at the parts side by side, you should be able to understand what parts get swapped.

Fun conversation. I'll try to add to the confusion ;) - OM Blackhawks in the following calibers; .30 Carbine- Check .357- Check, Several, 2 Barrel Lengths .41 Magnum- Check, 2 Barrel Lengths .44 Mag- Check .45 Colt- Check, 2 Barrel Lengths. Thanks TWRiggen and the Forum Classifieds!! Than...
