The Powder Room - CAS reloading / Re: Closest Substitute for Unique
« Last post by Gtrubicon on Yesterday at 09:03:50 PM »I was looking into this as well prior to just finding a large quantity of unique local to me. I was going to give BE86 a try. I read that it’s grain for grain in a lot of calibers.

Pay close attention to the SD. Loads with high SD indicate erratic ignition.
YMMV

Gunsmithing / Re: Rossi 92 parts- will older interarms era parts fit newer guns?
« Last post by Froogal on Yesterday at 06:19:26 AM »Okay, here's the easy way to eliminate the safety. Drive the pin out that holds the safety in, remove the three parts. Take a .25 ACP case and cut it down to about an 1/8"-3/16" and Blue Lock-tite it in place. If you can find a W-W stamped case it looks even better.
And be aware there is a detent ball and spring in there. I saved the spring but the ball went to parts unknown.

I know Palo Verde make one for the JM Marlins, I installed one on my 94CL along with their spring kit.

I am not an expert or a pro but I have made a few rigs and to me 10-12oz. seems a bit excessive. I am planning a California holster and Fair Weather Christian belt soon. It will be unlined and 7-9oz leather.
