David,You are correct. It is a 1/2 x 9/16 wrench so why doesn't it just say that? The only reference to an actual nut size is 1/4 on the 1/2 end of the wrench. I'm sure this tool had a specific use....but what? Mort

This recently cleaned-up wrench which belonged to my father has some interesting characteristics. One side reads, The Billings and Spencer Co, Hartford Conn. USA, and the bottom has the numbers 1111 725 B. Flip it over, and the large end says 3/8 cap and 3/8 S.A.E. The small end reads 5/16 CAP...

Al It can get pretty cold here too but more are coming than going. If I ever get back to Minnesota again I would like to stop for a short visit. Mort

Doug My dad's hunting rifle was a FN Mauser 30-06. It had a small 2.5 power scope on it that I replaced with a Weaver K4. He liked that much better. I don't remember if the scope I replaced was a Lyman or not. I traded a 32 Rem. 336 for a 300 Savage 99. Wanted something with more power...

When I was working at the shipyard, I was taught how to scrape by a tall slim good old boy from Texas. He was easy to get along with and had a lot of patience. We were doing high-pressure steam casing flanges for the aircraft carrier Midway. There were four boiler rooms so we had 8 casing...

Al, Just so you know, the guy is also an expert when it comes to your choice of beer. Mort

Al has a shooter.....real pretty too! Mort

Had the pleasure of meeting your navy and some New Zealand personal in the Philippines ( Subic Bay ) around 1960-61. I shared a few beers with some really good company Mort

The linkage looks very nice, clean...professional. Mort

Handloader Magazine has a nice article on the 220 Swift and some load data......but no N540. Mort

Sorry about the bum information. I haven't found anything that doesn't require a backorder, and even more so if you specify Winchester. There were some used cases that sold on Gun Broker last month. $35 for 60 cases. Will keep you in mind in case I stumble on something. Mort

Sorry about that. Will check around and see what's available....keeps me out of trouble. Mort

You can find Winchester brass for your 220 Swift @ 0pticsplanet. Mort

Just make sure it's uniform before you shoot it. Mort

Al, That is so cool! A 4 speed no less! I'm sure it would have been a record holder in C or D/Gas back in the day. Would love to see it run. Many thanks Mort

Very interesting...enjoyed the video. Mort

Al Never heard anything more about the little 283 screamer. Mort

Damn! I thought it was something from the "Game Of Thrones" Mort

Tried to explain that to my wife and she didn't think it was funny...it was a thinker. Mort

My Buddy's Pontiac This is an old photo of my buddy's K/SA at the Nationals. Bob's car ran well under the index but didn't make the finals here. He did beat another K/SA Pontiac in a heads-up run. We told Bob it was his first class win in 30 years so he should be happy...he didn't get a...
