so it is with great anticipation I patiently await the arrival of the new "trail gun" to begin to experience what Huey has been so excited about. I find full .327's on that size gun less fun so the Shorty Forty loaded down should be really nice, subsonic for sure. I altered the contrast so you guys could really see how pretty it truly is.

I have rummaged through my moulds and found this special one that a good friend gave me, it should be most appropriate for the occasion. It's a little slow going but well worth it for a specialty projectile. I have been wanting to cast soft, paint coat, and test for really big expansion at a slower speed. I'm curious to see if that paint coating can help the alloy take the rifling with no stripping/leading. I was planning on slower loads, 700-800 fps, but the nominal .40 S&W is about 950-1000 fps for this weight. It also depends on the sighting in relation to that front sight (although it is swapable).

The other thing I've been using to relieve stress, and help me not throat punch some choice people, is this old vintage dirt bike I bought. For about the same price as a used Ruger SA, which would have been a much wiser investment. My plans are to restore it to compete in April down in TX. However this is how it sits right now. They don't have many parts on them and are easy to work on, otherwise I'd be lost. Since many Misfits have the same interests and/or pasts; guess what is it?! Remember I like things a little plain, simple, but weird, just like me. lol (Doug you can't play!)

Would also like to contact you about the 401 GNR and have you done anything with the 400 GNR?

I’ve really looked at finding a doner pre-64

To do a .400, would make a good G2 Contender thumper too. Only have the .401 GNR in the revolver now. .38-40, 10mm, .40, .401 WSL, .401 Herters, .41 Long Colt. The 400 is fun.

In the family, obviously. Que the Miami Vice theme.

Yeah I have a 336 ready to send to Gary for a .400 GNR conversion. Looking for a long mag tube would like a 24" if possible haven't spoken to him about it yet, same with the 401 GNR, I have a 3 screw super but probably gonna send a new model with extra bisley gripframe I have laying around, would have preferred a hot loaded 38/40 but I understand after a while they back out? That's what I was wanting to discuss, I believe you've played around with many loads for these? Email is Leadhound one zero one at g mail dot com replace numbers with numbers thanks.

There is a guy named Guy Cooper, he absolutely shreds on several old Bultacos. I think he runs 2-3 different classes, in the top 3 in every one. Never lets off, WFO slipping the clutch in the corners. Always finishes the race, never a DNF. Is is a sight to see and something to listen to, heck you can even taste it! The burning Castor in the air.

Bultaco's

Bultaco's ruled the dirt from 1965 to 1980. Pursang's were bad news.

Guns are safer, better investments.

The Mono-shock mounted in the frame like that and radial fin head air cooled motor give that much away. Guys were good to guess YZ or even YZ125, direct kin. Is Miami-vice era.

Beautiful Gun. Email Sent Scotty...

it was 37 years ago, 1982. The bike is supposed to look like this. It is an IT175J (International Trials) made to compete on a world level at the International Six-Days Trials. You have to fix anything yourself with no outside help and try to earn a Gold Medal. The tells are the odometer and cable, quick change handle on the front axle, MX bikes don't have features like that, don't need them.

The biggest hint was it was a weird one like me and my Reeder custom builds, different. lol We'll see what it looks like in a few weeks.

some plastic I have been trying to restore on my 82 that has me looking at the Clarke tank. But the blue is off. They have white too and I've considered that with Canadian red banded graphics.
