I am a big fan of Paco's. I have his book on CD. I have been to his lever guns site. I am upset though that he closed down his old Sixguns site. There was a ton of info on it that now is lost. Is it contained anyplace else? I downloaded a bunch of it but never got around to looking at it all.

Haven't checked his site for quite a while but I learned a lot there. Have you tried emailing him? Or searching on Google? I emailed him and he shared some loading data and advise on heavy bullets in the 41 mag. Seems like a fine man.

I emailed him but got no response. He is a great guy and I have used alot of the things he recommends and they have worked well. I may end up doing the Google thing. I sure hate to think that it was all lost though.

Sadly when the owner of a site decides to close it down most of the time all the data is lost to the world. It has happened a LOT of times with much excellent info lost.

A quick indorsement on one of Paco's sites. Over at Sixgunner.com, on the Lever gun link there was an article about accurrizing an 1894. My 94 had gone south in the accuracy department because of the screw that holds the magazine end-cap had wollered out the barrel where it was inset. Had my local smith cut a dovetail in the barrel, insert a slug, bore the slug slightly oversized to the original hole and lined it with a neopreme washer. I'm back in business again. Accuracy was restored and it is a long term fix for what I consider would be a recurrent problem. Didn't go the whole accuracy route as I didn't want to fool around with thinning the fore stock.
