I had Alan Harton rechamber my 44 Special Flattop cylinder to 44-40

I own both. I am hooked not by the cartridges which I believe are just fine for hunting here in Utah, but by the rifles themselves. Compact and handy. Just real gems to carry in the field. I took a nice 27 inch Mule Deer last fall in the Book Cliff region of Eastern Utah with the 300 using...

I have a new Ruger #1 Varmint in 220 Swift. I am finding that the lever will pop open with just the mildest of pressure from an errant finger. I have already sent the rifle back to Ruger to have the scope ring blocks replaced but was unaware of the lever problem at the time or I would have had...

Yes, if this does not work I will call Ruger. (I do not think it is the Leupold scope.)

My alignment bars show that the rings are offset by about 1/16 inch. I have ordered a set of Millett windage adjustable rings to see if that will solve my problem.

Okay, here is a range report and there is a problem somewhere. Pictured are three separate groups fired at progressively longer distances. Just trying to sight in the scope. As you can see the group size is okay considering I was only leaning over the bed of my truck. The center of the green dot...

I purchased this 220 Swift at Cabelas the other day. I have to use the off set rings and a Leupold scope to get my eye close enough to the scope. Mounted a 6X42 on this one. I will shoot it for the first time tomorrow.

I have had two of my 45 acp cylinders converted to 460 Rowland. Now I shoot them much more than when they were 45 acp. The Rowland is a fun and powerful cartridge to mess around with. Starline has the brass. Clark Custom Guns will do the conversion for about a hundred bucks plus shipping. :wink:

The Cabelas in Lehi, Utah has about 8 of them as well. I took a hard look at the 220 Swift. I did not look closely at the fit of the wood but otherwise I would have no problem with the appearance of the wood.

Patrick Grasshorn just fitted these Elk Antler grips on my new 357 Flattop. They look and feel great.

Sold pending funds

I sold my 475 Linebaugh and now I have 300 rounds of hand loaded ammo I would like to sell. I figure it is worth about 140.00 + shipping but will consider any offers. All loaded with 350 grain cast bullets w/gas check. All are mild to mid level loads. Most of the brass is either new or once...

Thanks Jesse for helping out.!

Picked up a nice rifle in 17 H Hornet but ammo and brass is non existent. :( If I had one box of empty brass I could at least start loading my own. :)

Alan made up this Lipseys Flattop for my wife's birthday. Momma likes :)
