I have not tried 4227, I have a batch loaded up with some 2400 but the load escapes me at the moment. You are right the 24 gr load of H110 is max and I'm going to save the rest for a Super Blackhawk revolver. I appreciate the tip about the cracks in the stock. I'd sure hate to crack this one. You know I was hoping to find a Redfield wide screen scope because I had wanted one for years and this rifle had no scope or mounts when I bought it. I lucked into that scope at a pawn shop my brother was working at. I wanted a 70's scope for my 70's carbine.M39 Shooter wrote:24 grains of h110 is almost max. Have you tried imr 4227 ? about 10,000 less c.u.p. while giving up about 100 fps. That is a beautiful rifle, i love the old Redfield t.v. screen scope. I have seen the Ruger 44s crack their trigger guards on occasion, and getting a replacement part is about nill.

Not the stock, the cast trigger guard. you probably could find a stock before you ever found the T/G. It seems to be the Achilles heel of the rifle. I have been experimenting with BE-86 in my s&w 44mag. It`s seemingly gentile and may work with a carbine length barrel.bunkysdad wrote:I have not tried 4227, I have a batch loaded up with some 2400 but the load escapes me at the moment.

I was looking at my rifle the other day and noticed the gold bead was missing from my front sight. I thought it would be either expensive or impossible to find, but got lucky. It was in stock at Numerich gun parts.M39 Shooter wrote:Not the stock, the cast trigger guard. you probably could find a stock before you ever found the T/G.

Yup, I learned that last trick from an old gunsmith that did work for the first shop I worked at. I sometimes forget to use it, however.bunkysdad wrote:That reminds me of the first time I did a thorough cleaning on the carbine. I was disassembling it on the tailgate of my truck and dropped the gas system piston without realizing it. And it went into the grass. When I realized it was missing I thought I'd never find it. Lesson learned for sure. When I disassemble a weapon I do so over a towel or blanket so that small parts don't bounce into the alternate universe. I have taken apart small parts with springs inside plastic bags so the springs don't launch out the window. [emoji14]
The one I had had a 102 serial number start. Probably early 80's; it was a nice rifle.bunkysdad wrote:thanks for that this old gun article. Mine was made in 1971.
