now have 6 Carlson's 38/357 and 6 A-Zoom snap caps that I hope to load and reload into a Bond Roughneck derringer many, many times

Lets have a look at it

Ok, I set the receiver in there to give an idea of what the barrel looked like before I started. Just so ya know the whole thing was rusted/locked up when I got it. It was in the flood at the river a couple years back. It belongs to a friend, he doesn't even know I have it. The buttstock was all busted also, I have one on the way. Should make for a real surprise here shortly. This is the first time I've ever tried this.

Looking over stuff, noted a set of RCBS .358 Win dies, essentially new, loaded maybe 40 rounds through them. Friend had a win. lever gun no longer around. Been on my bench since the early 90's. If someone can use them let me know. Brass can be made from necked up .308 cases if properly annealed and lubed. Brass is still available. I don't know anyone who has a .358.

It's a nice round, no doubt. A real thumper on the receiving end.
They both reload so I sure they are setup.
Maybe someone on here may have one.
Heck I have a set for a 38-55 that I've never owned.

plus all the components. Maybe one day.

Damn Vaquero, that looks really good, nicely done ! Looking forward to seeing the final product.

Bye the way, can I be your friend too ? ! ? ! ? !

I know Al will be along and say I need a Henry, but I care less about all the gaudy craving on the sidegates.
Now if they made a case colored receiver with a BLUED octagon barrel with no carved up stock I might could be persuaded.
Until then I will be waiting on an older reasonably priced Marlin or Winchester.

Sure enough... I can see by the signature line we are on the same page.
Thanks for the kind words.
Won't have time tomorrow but in the next day or so I will tackle that receiver.
I'll post a pic when I'm all done, I should have taken a pic. the day I brought it home.
I soaked it in half and half, transmission fluid and diesel fuel for about a week.

Hey, the words Harley Davidson aren't written on it anywhere that is visible.
