This morning it dawned on me that with the hammers cocked, the back of the firing pins are exposed. So before heading out for work, I took a small screwdriver and pushed on the back of the pins to pu ... |

Finally got around to taking the stock off and cleaning and relubing the inside of the action. There actually wasn't much gunk in it. Measured the firing pin protrusion. Best I can measure with the ... |

Great pics! Sounds like awesome times.
I love the pic of your dog, what kind is he?
Not pretty, just ruggedly hansome, like your truck! |

Ohio, thanks for the tip on the stain.
Well I did finally get out to shoot some sporting clays with it. Shot 50 one ounce Winchester Super-X and 5 Federal shells. The auto safety got me a few tim ... |

Thanks for all the replies guys! I have not been able to do any reloading yet. When I started this post I was in about my 3rd week of a bad case of the shingles. As it turns out I am one of the &qu ... |

Update: finally got the 311c out of layaway on Sunday. The light freckling of rust wasn't that bad after all. Cleaned up easily with some CLP and light rubbing with some fine steel wool. Was mostly ... |

One other question, can I leave out the OS card (if the load calls for it) when fold crimping and just put another felt wad or other filler under the shot to adjust the stack height for a good crimp? |

Finally got my 311c 16 ga. out of layaway! Still needs the wood refinished (most of the original finish on the stock is gone) and I am going to open up the chokes to IC/M or SK/LM. This is going to ... |

+1 to what skeetx said.

Yes its supposed to be M/F. It will probably be a couple weeks before I get it out of layaway to actually measure it. I will probably get it opened up to IC/M since I will mostly use if for sporting ... |

Instead of a Cheerio, way not just buy the correct wad for 7/8 and get it over with.
If I could find somewhere that has the DR16 in stock I would gladly try them. I don't know whats up with Downra ... |

Are you talking the 366 or one of the earlier Pacific single stage presses? |

Yeah, not a great price anymore (unless they go on sale) and 16 ga. is the only one currently not in stock (backorderable). |
