Thank You folks.

I grew up wishing my father would leave. The only time I felt safe was when he wasn't around. There I said it.

steve817

Not a cowboy action shooter but I picked mine up in .357 today and it is SWEET!

steve817

You thought your shooting hobby was expensive. Photography can get worse. Maybe not as bad as it was since hardly anyone shoots film any more.

steve817

Getting back on topic. I was at my local store yesterday and there was one on the shelf so I put it on lay-away.

Man! if I found the one I wanted for $750 this would be a totally different conversation.

Ray Newman wrote:What! -- $1899.00 for a Italian Sharps??

Before I would pay that much, I would save up an extra US$200.00 or so and buy a Shiloh-Sharps.

I can't find the one I want for that much not a Shiloh anyway. It has to look like this one.

steve817

Good point Doc. If you have a chance to go to a Cabelas and shoulder/cycle some Sharps and Win 1885 rifles you might be surprised. I found the 1885 had it all over the earlier Sharps design. -Tutt I did just that and think the added weight in the Sharps would be to my benefit considering that it is...

Apparently 2013 was a good year for the company and we will be receiving larger than usual bonus checks. I'm considering 1. Henry Big Boy in .357 2. Winchester Model 94 in .38-55 and at the top of my bucket list 3. Pedersoli 1874 Sharps Quigley in .45-70 (The kid in me is really screaming for this o...

What type of bullet do these rifles handle best? I have seen other articles that say semi wad cutters may be a problem but I probably don't want to be putting round nose bullets in either. I shoot JSP out of my 1892 .44 mag but seem to have a hard time finding any in .357

Does he ship ammo?

I suppose that if a total vegan, who never wore leather, and used only naturally grown fibers to dress I'd respect her view....Like that's going to happen :lol: :lol: Not me. No sir.

Ive found SixGun is a great guy to deal with!!!!!!!!!!

Yes he is. He is as easy going as the day is long.

My favorite source of reload data is AmmoGuide .com , partly because they have far better 'search' and 'filter' options than any other site I have seen. Yes, there is a small 'membership' fee of $18.95, but I'd rather have that than banner-ads flashing all over. They have 594 44 Mag loads listed at...

When I first got my 1892 I thought these rounds were beating me to death. Adding a kick killer pad to the rifle and not shooting off of a bench has made it much more pleasurable. Now that I have accumulated enough brass I'd like to reload and possibly try and reproduce these since I am getting to th...

. If you call Skinner, they will be able to tell/sell you the proper height front sight to use with their peep sight. They'll need to know the present front sight height, and whether the sight blade is ramp-mounted or installed directly in a bbl dovetail. The Skinner front sight blades ($15), shown...

steve817

Hmmm, I wonder how tall of a front sight I'm gonna end up needing.

steve817

After a lot of research I finally decided on a new sighting option for my 1892 that I picked up last spring.

http://www.skinnersights.com/winchester_26.html

Has anyone in here by any chance used these on a newer 1892 and will it be necessary to change out the front sight?

Thanks in advance.

steve817

Looks fun, wished I lived a little closer.

steve817

What distance were you shooting at?

I would love to go but have burned up too much vacation time this year. If you think you will be doing something similar next year I'd like to know.

Last time I was out there a Federal 525 round value pack of .22 LR was $48.95. Still high but not nearly as bad as other places I have seen. At the time they would only sell you ammo if you were renting a lane or buying a gun. On another note I walked into the Academy in Arlington and was encouraged...

I expected if anything at all the special rounds to hit lower than the magnum rounds.

steve817

When I mentioned in a post a little while back that the 240 gr magnum soft points I was shooting out of my 1892 were beating me to death, someone mentioned trying .44 specials out of it which I did. My shoulder was thankful however the bullets were hitting way high at 50 yards. By way high I mean ab...

When I started shopping for a 1911 I was going to get a Taurus 1911DT. It was about that time the SR1911's were introduced. Only time I saw the SR1911 on the shelf at Academy I didn't have the cash to get it but it was $639.00 . So I ended up getting one at a gun show. Both shoot very well.

And Howdy to you. Another Texanite? I think everyone here from Texas ought to start their own Leverguns. You could call it "www.22 Levergun.com" as I hear thats the only ammo thats left down there.....and the biggest caliber thats allowed by law...I hear :D Up here in the North Woods, we ...

That's a real fine start on your leverguns accumulation, steve (more to come I would bet!). And I know what you mean about the gold bead -- those always give me problems if the sun is shining. I used to think the small ivory bead was unbeatable as a replacement, but I bought a rifle that had been f...

http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d197/sass93/Smilies/howdy.gif and Welcome to THE Forum. Yep, the .44Mag in a dandy 'lil carbine like the 1892 is a thumper! :P Out to 100 yards it's probably a bit more thump than the .30-30, but beyond that its energy falls off rather quickly. You learn quickly to...

I'm new to the forum. Just purchased a shiny new 1892 Winchester .44 mag. I had shot .44 mag pistols before and knew that it was a powerful round. I thought the weight of the rifle would tame that some but judging from the size of the bruise on my arm I thought wrong. That is the bad news. The good ...
