Olof sets up much of his work on machines... I know because I've frequently asked him to make me S&W goodies to which he always retorts "are you going to buy enough to make it worthwhile to setup the machine?" LOL but as everyone mentioned great guy and makes great grips. (Stocks)

Man that top strap is just the best! Micrometer click with prewar setting... drool ��

Model 63-3 I'll take it per our PM discussions.

You guys weren't kidding when you said fanatical arguments would ensue... sheesh HOLY BLACK really is a religion lol.

What is a "Lead Unit of Pressure" and how does it compare to copper pressure and contemporary PSI measuring systems?

Understood, thanks for the advice!

Lee, Top break... Since you're the authority on these, if timing and lockup are good, and no issues noted on the gun am I correct in understanding that the Remington Green Box load is widely considered "safe" to shoot? (Again assuming the gun is in decent shape) Or is this a holy black only gun?

Very Interesting That's really impressive! I've been fascinated with the little short 32 S&W and while I've never had much interest in antiques the Model 1-1/2's are such beautiful little revolvers!

On the antique guns, what is the longest timeframe you have observed for still having a factory rework stamp on a gun? I was looking at a Model 1-1/2 recently that had what I gathered to be a 1976 rework stamp? Is this possible?

All a matter of knowing where to shop... Russian still costs more than special, but here's the cheapest you will find. HSM 44R1N Cowboy Action 200 Grain .44 Russian at Fast Ammo One other thing worth mentioning, if you buy the Fiocchi 44 S&W Russian it's hotter than the factory...

Rick, I will probably do that!

Ivan that's great information and makes perfect sense! I think I'm on the way to finding what I need knowing that's not a necessity.

Hey All, Can anyone explain and/or share with me the differences between the various Redding 44 Mag/Special die sets? I was researching online and from what I see the "Profile Crimp Die" is very good but it looks like it's only available with the most expensive set. Please advise? Thanks for...

46er is that the voice of experience speaking?

Informative responses! Thank you gentlemen, was thinking it wouldn't be a very good load or it would have a better reputation.
