I was cleaning out an old computer desk that I hadn't used in years and found a CD with these pictures of a Culver modified measure. From the metadata on the images, they date to December 2000, and I have no idea who sent me this disc. I don't recognize the handwriting on the label. Did Homer...

Our local club is basically a shotgun club, formed out of the skeet shooting faction of an Izaak Walton club. They expanded to a little trap, then added sporting clays and eventually five stand. All the time they had a poor excuse for a 200 yard range - down a hill and up the other side...

Outstanding Lee! I’m on my iPad now but as soon as I can get to my laptop with a real keyboard I’ll send you an e-mail. Thank yo very much. Froggie

I don't know whether anyone will actually see this as exciting as I do, but in Roanoke, VA, a commercial indoor range called "Safeside" has been developed in an old trackside warehouse. This is noteworthy here on this forum because they have a 100 yard indoor range open to the general public on...

Thanks Wayne. I’ll be looking forward to seeing them. :cool: Froggie

PM inbound! Froggie

Ta Dah! I found pictures I took a while ago of my Culver Clone mounted in an old #5. When I got it, it came with a #55 body that was pretty scruffy, so I felt it would look better in this #5 I had laying around. Over on the ARTCA Forum it was tentatively identified as a fairly early MCRW...

Thanks, Butch. Any distinguishing markings? Is it stamped MCRW? What kind of knurling does it have? Somewhere in the back of my mind I have the nagging feeling that mine is MCRW as well, but it is totally unmarked except for the numbers and division lines. Somewhere I have a list of the...

My one anonymous clone currently mounted in an old Ideal #5 body, is buried in the mess in my basement and can’t be accessed right now. I do have a #5 Micrometer Model (factory) for you to see. This didn’t survive the transition to the #55, but may have provided some inspiration for Culver...

Thanks, Wayne. Other than lacking the name and serial number, are the knurls and the recess behind the knurled area pretty much the same as the original? Do you know who made the clone? I'm starting pretty much from zero here and I'm beginning to think what little I've "found out" so far may...

I have a question for some of you grey beards. I'm trying to assemble information (at least to my own satisfaction) about the development of the Culver conversion for the Lyman 55 Measure. I would like to know what features to look for in order to distinguish between the original Culver made...

Maybe contemporary with Homer Culver or soon after? The inserts in otherwise standard Lyman 55s look pretty similar to the originals. anybody have a time frame in mind?? Froggie

Thanks for the welcome! If there are other folks like you here, I'll assume I made a good decision to register here. If you DO wander over to the "Cast Boolits" forum, look for me there and give me a shout out... the same screen name works there (as well as ASSRA, S&W Forum, etc, etc.) Froggie

Good afternoon all! I shoot with the American Single Shot Rifle Association and especially enjoy shooting bench rest events with classic style single shot rifles and cast bullets. Currently I have a Douglas-barreled Peregrine in 32/357 with what is admittedly a modern style BR stock, shooting...
