Uncle Mike, is your Ruger American the standard? I see they offer the predator version and it accepts "AR style" magazines.....

Really thinking about that or a Model 92 in 357/38 is going to be my birthday present to myself. I'm also going to need my 6.5 dies back. Going to pull the trigger on the RCBS toys

Well I got my project 55 Husky running tonight. I forgot the muffler somewhere at the cabin so I only fired it up and immediately shut her down to make sure it ran. Will look for the muffler next weekend. Was nice to hear it fire up quickly after it had been apart, then partially reassembled in early December, then moved to our new house.

With base gasket delete and cleaned up cylinder, when I hold it by the pull cord it pulls down once then just sits there. Squish was still .030 after the gasket delete, so it must have really been wide before.

Uncle Mike, does your chronograph still work??

 

[woodchip rookie]

You can get one of those cheap Chrony's at Cabelas

Why didn't anybody tell me to get oil at Rural King? Every kind of oil is cheaper there than everywhere else. Engine, hydraulic, b&c....Around here b&c oil is $11/gal EXCEPT Rural King. They got it for $5/gal. I bought a case of 3 for $16.xx out the door. At autozone they want TWENTY EIGHT dollars for a 5qt jug of engine oil. I got a five gallon bucket for $40 at Rural King. They got "carpenter" jeans there for like $12/pair and they actually have a warranty!!?? The guy said if you wear holes in their RK house brand jeans they replace them! I see lotsa dollars falling out of my wallet in the future

Did you check squish before the delete? I need to find time to put my 55 together. On a side note Del said the 590 wouldn't touch solder with the gasket out. After machine work it was at .014 took .006 off the edge of the piston to get .020.

You need to come to our GTG and stuff on March 30-31 in Carthage MO

I've I've been eyeballing that, I assumed it was a surprise birthday party for me (22nd) if not, still sound's good!
I'll mark it on the calendar and see how it plays out (I'll be there with bells on)
No Dolmar discrimination generally is there...
Plus it could be my opportunity see what all them fancy ported saws are all about!
In all seriousness,Thanks for asking! Matt

They also sell the Yardmax stuff. Anybody have experience with the Black Diamond or Yardmax stuff?

There will be plenty of Dolmar fans there, including the host. Hope to see you there.

Sound's good, again I appreciate the invitation and look forward to it!

Let me know if there is anything I can do as far as prep or needs...

No I hadn't. I just put it together and tested with no gasket, but was surprised to see it that large. That and the ring gap was .016 but since this is a budget rebuild I wasn't concerned.

Who is the host?

I'm not welcome at most GTG's due to my status as a reformed mod lol.

I think it’s the Clintons. Rumor has it they have lots of Wood.

 

[MustangMike]

Matt, the crono worked last time I used it, but I'm sure it needs a battery.

I think both my Ruger's are standard (the 223 + 06).

Glad to hear you are finally getting the reloading stuff, too bad you waited till right before tax season!

Sorry I mean what is their AS handle?

Not sure, maybe "Big Wood", sorry if someone really has that? I can't drink my morning coffee at the desk anymore, I've ruined 3 keyboards spitting coffee on them, Joe.
