What do you all think the main use of the 32wcf in a SAA was back in the 19th century? From what I understand few people hunted with revolvers back then and there were much better calibers for self defense. They sold quite a bit of them but id think there would be more demand for a rimfire cartridge...

Timothy

I know what your saying J why the heck have both? If its an import thing go with the base pin like cimarron. No one likes the hammer block and if it doesnt have to be there why the hell?

Timothy

I often grab the wrong rifle out of the safe when reaching for a 92 or 94 because they're so close in size. Rather than a new action id like to see and industry wide push to popularize the 25-35 219zipper and 32win in 30-30actions. I too get bored with the 94 in 30-30.

Timothy

I thought winchester made em both ways depending on year both on and off the barrel band? Am i thinking of a different rifle?

Timothy

I think thats just a production kbar with cutco on the blade instead of usmc.

Timothy

Thanks everyone. I have a 45cal guide gun that I really like alot and the typical 3-4 shots a day i take with it recoil doesnt bother me. I figure with 4 more inches of barrel and bullets weighing 160 grs less that i already have, id have a fine blue and walnut iron sighted RIFLE for about 600$. Sho...

Timothy

What do you all think of the 444 marlin as an all around target, small game, rock shooting woods gun? I have a ton of bulk cast 240gr swc and really like the lines of the full size 1895 444 rifle. I supose the 1894 in 44mag would make more sense but just cant get that exited about the 94 carbine. If...

Timothy

For me its a combination of being the only one i know who does it, being historic, feeling like im in a louis lamour novel, and contempt for modern society.

Timothy

Thanks, the groups i mentioned are fom a solid rest sadly.

Timothy

Im just curious what size groups you guys typically get with traditional sights at 50 yards. I can do around 2 inches at 25yards with my 45colt, but my groups go to heck at 50. Thanks

Timothy

Sorry to interupt but what are small base dies?

Timothy

If we all had our way we'd own and shoot nothing but original guns sold at least 50 years ago. Theres no money in that. Its no wonder the mfgs dont pay us guys much attention!

Timothy

I use 8grs unique in my rossi 44mag with a 200gr bullet. Very accurate and economical. I figure its pretty close to 44wcf performance.

Timothy

As the generations progress i think we'll see a ressurgence of intrest in the da revolver eventually. The medium frame blued 38 governed this country longer than the old west ever was. Right now such guns arent even being made. That coupled with the fact you can get a new SA ruger or uberti for 500$...

Timothy

I never quite understood the freebore concept in weatherbys. Is it to allow loading beyond max loads by seating the bullet further out?

Timothy

Lets not bash the younger collectors too much, they didnt have the chance to buy up the colts and winchesters when they were 50 bucks a pair.

Timothy

When was the original trapper load offered? Thanks

Timothy

Try buffalloarms.com

Timothy

Well heck, now I want 460! Who's up for a group buy?

Timothy

Man thats the good stuff.

Timothy

They are not the same guns. The Berreta Stampede has a transfer bar, coil trigger and bolt springs, more case colors, wider front sight, deeper blue finish, bushing behind the mainspring screw, and one piece cylinder. The standard Uberti Cattleman is a traditional saa except for the hammer saftey an...

Timothy

Thats a beauty, walthers and luger have a legitimate place and were suprisingly popular in america.

Timothy

I have the 1866 in 44wcf and agree uberti makes very fine guns, you can buy with confidence. As a testament to their reliability I'll list my load which is all wrong demensionally yet reasonably accurate from a historic standpoint. I shoot a 208gr soft lead .427 bullet over a 1.6 cc dipper of black ...

Timothy

Malamute, I know that trick too and it works well doesnt it. I'll bet you also thought about putting higher rings for a better grip like I have.

Timothy

I really hope it works out for you, but a buddy of mine bought two last year and neither would feed reliably. You might start with copper coated bullets in nickle cases. Good luck

Timothy

Not that I can hit anything with either, but I like irons because you can get your thumb over the reciever. I can walk 5 miles without switching hands carrying a win94 but with a scoped 700 I'm switching every 50 yards.

Timothy

Except for me pard, mines been fine since day one. I've heard most complaints from cas shooters who load and empty them as fast as possible all afternoon. While perhaps not as reliable as a win73 they make for a fun and stylish day outdoors employed against varmits and rocks that need killin. That 2...

Timothy

We ask our sixguns to do more today than anyone ever did in the SAA's heyday. We now know the guns capability but before Elmer Keith few did. While some SAA's will hit poa at 50 yards a blackhawk would be a much more apropriate platform for that task. So rather than try to force the old warbird into...

Timothy

I'd ask them if they have any 7.5 inch 357 bisleys left in stock.

Timothy

Anyone know how fast a six inch barrel could safely launch a +P 230gr jhp?

Timothy

Sometimes I think the only thing that keeps these companies in buisness is curious first time buyers. I've never known anyone who hunted with grizzly or buff bore ammo exclusively. I know many who have shot a box or two myself included. Those high performance loads they offer usually require radical...

Timothy

Whats Terry's conection to the old sixguners, was he a writer or in the industry somehow? Thanks

Timothy

How do you set up a flintlock the right way, is there actuall tuning of the action involved or conditioning the flint? Just curious

Timothy

I agree Rusty, the 32 was very popular back in the days, why isnt it now? We're shooting the at the same things after all.

Timothy

44 blachawks come with steel grip frames, so they are heavier than the new 44 flattops. The 45's may be a bit lighter though. I heard someone debunked the myth of 2400 being hotter today and it was unique that was reformulated when they made it cleaner burning. I shoot 22gr 2400 from my model 29 wit...

Timothy

Why are you stopping at 1500fps? I run hardcast 405's in 45-70 up to 1700-1800fps.

Timothy

Very nice, so whats your load gonna be?

Timothy

One thing I'll say is if they do prohit the manufacture of ammunition by citizens we're going to see those hoarders in an all new light. Grafs delisting primers scares the hell out of me personally.

Timothy

All I have is jumper cables, tow strap, and canteen. I dont keep a truck gun since the only places I go are work and shooting. If I'm going to town I'll have my ccw. So theres no real need to have one sitting in the truck for the burglers to take imo.

Timothy

I agree, great movie despite its disarm the citizen parts. I thought they kinda rushed wyatt and docs freindship, and would have prefferd it if doc never shoot johny ringo. I also would have prefferd it if they had slowed down the vendetta ride toward the end which was good but short. I appreciated ...

Timothy

There were a ton of 86's here in reno last weekend, mostly between $5-8000!

Timothy

I just got a 270 weatherby thats pretty sharp. Heres a Uberti.

Timothy

Given the shortage of primers right now I was wondering if I can substitute large magnum pistol primers in trapdoor 45-70 loads. I shoot 405gr bullets at 1300-1350fps with imr3031. Thanks

Timothy

Every time I read up on a man like like I get both inspired and discouraged. Inspired because their lives are full of stories, discouraged because any one of those stories is more exiting than anything I've ever done. I dont think life today has the same potential in some ways as the times of the pa...

Timothy

Thanks a lot fellas, the brass has only been fired three times, though all with the same 21gr load. If I remember right I believe the primers were also out of round a bit with flat spots on the sides. The other 28 cases were identical to the ones fired from my sixguns. I use winchester large pistol ...

Timothy

The other day I fired 30 rounds of my pistol 44 mag load through my rossi 92. On two of the fired cases I noticed powder residue around the primer pockets. My load is 21gr 2400 with 240swc and has never given me any problem in my SBH and model 29. Thanks

Timothy

I was wondering if anyone hunts with hard cast 30-30 bullets and how they perform on both large and small game compared to soft and hollow points. Do they penetrate straight through or is there tumbling and yawing? Is the small meplate sufficiant for rapid blood loss/tissue displacment or are they b...

Timothy

I was just looking at a non cross bolt angle eject the other day so I'm sure it was offered. For varmits you might consider the Win 150gr power point. They open up just fine on small game, are cheap, buck the wind better, and offer piece of mind from dangerous animals both two and four legged at the...

Timothy

Thanks everyone, I supose maybe being classic or old fashioned also plays a part. The 1911 is the only gun that goes back to the end of the old west but can still be used for LE work today. So maybe its a symbol of old fashion values and principals. The SAA is too dated for LE work and the Luger wou...

Timothy

I often see links between Texas and 1911's in articels and books and am wondering what the whole 1911, amigo, border patoll, cowboy hat, ranger, 45acp, mexico thing is all about. Thanks
