Probably a 9410. But not with shot--only magnum slugs . . . .

The Battle of Britain Flight fly-past by the Lancaster flanked by a Spitfire and a Hurricane was quite a sight.

trapper45

Probably not, since I've already got a '94 in .30-30 and '94 Trappers in .45LC and .357 Mag.. However, on the Norinco sub-thread, my 1897 trench gun is a Chicom copy, but a very good one with very good wood-to-metal fit and a decent blue finish (it's a trench gun, after all), with excellent walnut f...

So, these here 9422M, how good do they shoot? I seem to get around an inch or less at 50yds with my LR. Nath. My 9422M Trapper will do that with open sights, with Winchester Super-X solids and hollow point, Dynapoint, and the Winchester .22WRF. Other brands and types will probably do as well, but t...

Been with USAA since December '72. Totally satisfied.

Yes. Win 94 Trapper .45 Long Colt; first-issue 1985; all factory original. Win 94 Trapper .357/.38 Spl; angle-eject; all factory original (including crater-based safety); no feeding problems whatsoever.

The AC-47 in the original picture was one of the prototypes for the then-new gunship program, with one of several different armament configurations tested, in this case multiple twin mounts of air-cooled .30-cal Brownings. They also tried three and four single .50-cal M2 mounts, but finally settled ...

Besides .22, .45 Long Colt, rifle and pistol.

And the 'Six Hundred' at Balaclava, 1854 . . . .

trapper45

You'll definitely like it. Mine is serialled 535**** from 1985, first year of production. Maybe that will help you narrow it down. Also have a 94 Trapper in .357, but a later vintage since it has the crater-safety; it handles anything--.38 or .357--fed through it (except full wadcutters), and out to...

trapper45

Had mine (.45) since new from December '85--first production, with the 'Red Ryder' ring, case hardening and no safety. Definitely a keeper. Handles anything put through it, including semi-wadcutters. You will like it.

trapper45

Yes--a Marlin 99M1, from the folks as a Christmas present in '64.

coffman starter. Check out the real 'Flight of the Phoenix'--the Jimmy Stewart one. Coffman starter cartridges are used to crank the salvaged engine. There were also shaped-charge progressive-burn cartridges used to quick-start the B-52 and KC-135 without an external air cart hooked up. The B-57 us...

When I was a kid Revell? I'm not sure really made a 1/32 scale kit of the F3F. It had retractable landing gear, you rotated the prop and the gear went up or down. I never could afford to buy one. Joe If memory serves, the F3F was a Monogram kit that came in two versions, Al Williams' Gulfhawk and a...

To pick a nit: The R-1830 is a Twin Wasp. Basically two 7-cylinder Wasps joined into a twin-row 14-cylinder radial. Whoever figured out the master rod in all that is a true genius. But no matter: a rose still smells as sweet, and nothing else radiates so majestically as a radial (or two, or four, et...

trapper45

Nope, not at all. Not saying anybody's wrong. I don't know enough to say that. But these waters will probably never run clear. As to the markings: Yup, just 'Single Action Army .45'; L/H side of the barrel, with the '5' directly above the forward end of the cylinder base pin. By whatever sobriquet, ...

In the 'for-what-it's-worth' department:

My 4-3/4-inch 3rd generation SAA barrel reads simply 'Colt Single Action Army .45'

trapper45

Interesting you should say that. I had a similar--almost identical--situation with a Single Action Army just recently. A 1971 NRA Centennial 7-1/2" was sitting in its presentation box at a local gun shop. It had apparently not been fired since new, the 'commemorative' decoration was minimal, th...

Thanks very much for posting those photos. I think I passsed a brainstone trying to figure out how to do it. An interesting thing about that box is the wording on the text panel: 'adapted for use in all revolvers using .45 Long Colt ammunition.' This from Colt's, no less. Ah, well . . . . And it's s...

Can't get to the pix right now--not much of a techie. (One would think that if one could post them on the Colt forum a couple of years ago, one would still be able to post them here, but one's minimal computer skills seem to have become even more minimal. Will try more later. If anyone else is able ...

They're wax bullets, but the labelling on the box is very interesting.

Never saw so many Tommy guns in one place. Fascinating museum.

trapper45

I used to have some of those 'way back when for the Stallion 45. And the brass case part which slid over the heavy plug had a large hole in the base--think a primer pocket 3/8" in diameter--so that the powder blister in the cap could be set off by the impact from the hammer. Mattel's 'Greenie S...

Star Trek and Westerns do have a common link: Gene Roddenberry wrote quite a few of the episodes of 'Have Gun, Will Travel.'

My December '46 No.5 Mk I (the so-called 'jungle carbine') likes the Hornady 150-gr Spire Points over 46.0 gr of Win 760, with Fed 210 priming. With the peep sight flipped up, this load gives 1" 3-shot groups at 100 yards.

trapper45

A Webley or two would go quite well with that group.

'Evil Roy Slade' with John Astin;
'Five-Card Stud' with Robert Mitchum and Dean Martin;
'Bandolero' with Jimmy Stewart, Deano, and Raquel;
'Waterhole No. 3' with James Coburn and Carroll O'Connor; and
'Dirty Dingus McGee' with Ol' Blue Eyes.

Not the usual fare, but entertaining.

trapper45

Neither one, actually.

If I had my 'druthers, I would prefer a carbine in .303 British and a musket/rifle in 7.62x54R.

Not much likelihood of either at an affordable price, but it's a wish list, after all.

trapper45

More a novelty than a practicality, but my .410's a 1915 BSA SMLE which was modified in India in 1930 from .303 to .410 single shot. Now chambered for up to 3" shells, it's fun to pop away with on occasion. Even managed to bust a few clay pigeons with it. It seems to prefer 2-1/2" slug she...

The original and still champion for my 1968 Single Six, Peacemaker .22 and 9422M Trapper is the Winchester Super-X; solid slightly better than hollow-point. Federal is next, and then the others in no particular order. For just keeping the cobwebs out of the rifling, whatever's cheapest. Around here ...

trapper45

My 9422M is great. Hasn't been hunted with, but is quite accurate. It feeds and fires the .22 WRF flawlessly as well. Both rounds--WMR and WRF--group around 1.5-2" at 50 yards with the issue open sights. Makes a great companion piece to the Single Six Convertible and the Peacemaker .22/.22M.

Got two Trappers: 1985 .45 Long Colt, bought brand-new in Dec '85. First year of production, case-colored/hardened; saddle ring, angle-eject, no safety (except operator's brain). .357 from two years ago, bought used but hardly worn. Year uncertain (S/N in 6240000 range) but angle-eject with the crat...

trapper45

Don't know exactly, but earlier than mine, which starts with 624****.

trapper45

You'll like it. At 50 yards, mine will put all holes into about a 6-inch area using the same sight picture with any .38 or .357 ammo (bullet weights from 110 to 180 grains), making no sight adjustments for the different fodder. Lots of fun.

trapper45

I had the Stallion .45; my brother had their slightly smaller .38. That was 'A long, long time ago, in a galaxy far away' . . . . . or so it seems now. Times were different then: I used to trudge a Spencer 2 blocks to elementary school (fourth grade) alone, put it in the corner, and then bring it ou...

trapper45

My 94 AE Trapper .357 handles anything I've put through it. Haven't tried .38 wadcutter, but that's where it may get balky. Not even going to try. Out to 50 yds anything fed through it (.357 or .38; 158-, 146-, 130-, 110-gr) goes into a 6"-7" area, with different loads/bullet weights putti...

trapper45

Got a brand-new 39M in '82 or so. Spot-on with anything fed to it. Cycles reliably with anything, but it seems to group happiest with the Win Super-X Hi-Speeds. In actual fact, it will run quite nicely on anything, and that's good news when I break out a Wally-box at the range. The Ruger 10/22 went ...

trapper45

Got two: one in .22WMR (which also cycles flawlessly with and likes .22WRF); the other in .22, and it likes anything it gets fed, from Long Rifle to Colibri (with the latter it's best to hear the thud of the bullet before pulling the trigger again. Never had one get caught in the barrel, but it does...

"Bout a month off, there. Both the Lee and Jackson birthdays are in January--not February. Lee's is the 19th and Jackson's the 21st. I always thought it was nice that my late mother's birthday fell between theirs, on the 20th. And they all get my highest respect.

Bought one a few years back ('92) in Alaska. Replaced the rubber grips with Hogue Monogrip of Philippine ironwood (packing said it was for King Cobra, but it fit the Anaconda just fine). Sights (6" barrel) were right on from the factory, and the trigger is the best out-of-the box I've got. Neve...

trapper45

Give some .22 WRFs a try. My 9422M Trapper loves them. More like a Long Rifle Plus P than a magnum lite. Same case as a WMR except for being a tenth of an inch shorter. Cycles and feeds flawlessly.

trapper45

As I mentioned on the Enfield section of Gunboards, I'm far more Flintstone than Jetson, but still managed the transition.
