    D-Day

    All of them have cased carbines under the front chute, like the front view if the guy at the cockpit entryway. Chutes require both hands. The guy with the 45 is perhaps a jumpmaster and expecting to go back with the plane or jump if there is a shoot down
  4. Giving anything up won't make them go away. They will be back for the next concession about 1 nanosecond later. Ask the Brits about butter knives.

    End-Shake

    Part of the bushing purpose is to set head space for the chamber. It also has to prevent the gap from closing between front of cylinder and barrel forcing cone. During recoil the cylinder wants to move forward and the bushing is a solid stop against that. The back has to be open for the cylinder ratchet to be engaged by the hand. I believe the bushing is a slip fit on the EMF, maybe a little Kroil would persuade it?

    Not sure if this is your model, but a good place to start: http://www.emf-company .com/store/pc/1873-GWII-Non-Transfer-Bar-Models-c510.htm

    End-Shake

    There is a base pin bushing that fits into the front of the cylinder. It can be a slip fit or pressed in. It controls forward movement of the cylinder or end shake. .006" gap is usually considered nominal as mentioned above.
  8. You might try taking out the firing pin and see how it works with just the bolt body
  9. I've had some good luck with VTI, I wonder if you could email them that pic and find out if they recognize your part? It appears that the pivot pin is a different diameter, too
  10. Ya haven't had enough caffine till you can thread a sewing machine... while it's running!

  12. I have an old Steyr M95 in 30-40 Krag, never really fooled with it yet....
  13. Dang! http://deti.mil.by/templates/swf/Pistol/index .swf Close up the .swf after pasting the first part in.

  15. http://smith-wessonforum.com/s-w-antiques/These folks would be helpful for re assembly.. to avoid added grief, I'd be vague on how it happened... You might want to double check the cylinder IDs to see if that load egged out the cylinder. I have an old Webley MkVI that won't extract because all the 45acp in its shooting career did the egg thing to it. Regards, Wiley
  16. Dang computers! deti.mil.by/templates/swf/Pistol/index.swf and add http:// to the front.. if this takes.

  18. Make sure the ejector comes out and gets back in the right way, they can be overlooked. On page 7: http://stevespages.com/pdf/marlin_336_444_1895.pdf
  19. I had this going on with a Vaquero in 44-40 and sent the cylinder to: http://www.cylindersmith.com/

  21. I would suspect that .001" difference has little to do with your issue. The original 7mm round that these were designed for was for a long heavy bullet with a rifling twist that was tailored for it. Modern 7x57 uses a lighter bullet with a different twist. If you want to do a .285 bullet, casting would be the most logical step; but a long heavy bullet would still be necessary. Another methodology is called "bumping up" the bullet diameter, here's a discussion: http://www.lasc.us/Brennan_4-1_BulletSizingBumping.htm While bumping up is mainly for cast bullets, bullet swage dies from Corbin or CH4D should be sources, you would have to pay for a specialty die diameter and the jacket would tend to spring back, meaning that the die diameter would need to be bigger than .285".

  22. A tight chamber means the brass will have to expand less in order to obdurate, so it will last longer. The case length and caseneck dimensions are the ones to have a concern for high pressures.
