Colt Country | Home of The Almighty Colt

I just bought this  Uberti Pocket Police off GB at a great price because of someone's over-zealous gunsmithing attempt. They got a little carried away trimming down the bolt for whatever reason and the cylinder was over-rolling the engagement notches. Soooo, a simple fix was to stretch the bolt head a bit so that it would engage properly. Looking at the pic, you can see I ground in a line at the base of the bolt (on both sides). This allowed me to set a chisel in the groove and gently tap till I stretched the head sufficiently to capture the cylinder....just a simple fix for us simple minded kitchen table gun smiths LOL

Cletus sees his hillbilly pal Bubba a-comin' down from the hills with a shotgun and a mason jar.
"What'cha doin' Bubba?"
"I came down to drink wit' ya, Cletus!"

Cletus says, "Oh, no, no, no! Your likker is potent awright, but I cain't stand the taste!"
Bubba points his shotgun at Cletus and says "DRINK!" and Cletus is forced to take a big swig.

"Woo-ha that's nasty!!" wails Cletus.

Then Bubba takes the likker jar and says, "OK, Cletus. You hold the shotgun on me and make me drink."

Here's the question, if all government employees work for a salary, including our senators and congressmen, how are all these investigations from collusion to whatever, costing us taxpayers costing us millions more dollars???????????

Started out with a quick trip to the local shooting hill (3 miles away and public ground), shot about 150 rnds through my new , old acquisitions , the 32-20 parts Colt a single shot remington bolt action rifle relined to shoot 17hm2 and my Uberti 44 Russian in 45 colt. Gotta fix the nickel sight on the Russian, can't see it when it's too bright, I'm thinking red nail polish, got any suggestions? Came home, watched John Wayne kick the shit out of some more guy's, poured a drink (or 2), and settled in till  dinner time. For dinner, a taste of my miss-spent youth, Caspers hot dog's, fresh corn on the cob and my wife's garlic fries. After, watched Al Pacino in the Movie "The Recruit" and continued to enjoy a few more sips of a fine adult beverage till my eye's got to heavy to keep open without taping the lids back. Very enjoyable day, hope all of your's was just as good!!

Well, I got the thing on Thursday, spent some time refurbishing a TV tray for reloading (at least some of it), while watching the tube. In the pic you can see a brown hunk of steel coming up on the back side of the table, it's an antique 7 pound "C" clamp needed to balance the tray so it doesn't tip over. The legs have been firmed up and screwed in place for security. Now, about the re-loader, it works perfectly for de-capping, (all I've done so far), however, who ever came up with the method of directing the spent caps to the holding tube needs to be fired!!! They used the old style ram bar with the pre-cut cap deflector pointing to the right and made a small exit port on the left with a thin steel wire as the deflector to aim the spent primers towards the collection tube on the left side of the handle. It makes a really cute little "ting" sound as the primers bounce off the wire and fall on the floor on the right side.This will be corrected shortly with an insert to direct the primers in the right direction.

These guns are the few I have decided to keep until death do us part!!!  Starting on the far left:
1. An engraved Scottish dbl action cap and ball
2. High Standard G&G
3. S&W Model 3 Russian
4. A Knife I made years ago and Scooby made a great sheath for it !!!
5. An engraved 1860 Centaure
6. Rogers and Spencer
7. Uberti factory conversion 1858 Remington
8. S&W 19-3 Texas Ranger commerative (357)
9. NAA 22 mag Wasp

Damn!!!!! I'd a shot him if I was awake at the time !!
