http://www.galleryofguns.com/ProdImageSm/5120.jpg I like it! The only thing that I'm not sure about is the "scaled down frame" - do they mean the grip? No. They mean that it is a modified 'New Vaquero' (i.e. somewhat Colt-sized frame, with Colt-sized grip) rather than the 'Original' Vaque...

Just a question?

They were in stock and on sale as of Tues (Midway Clearance day) - I guess the sale worked, they reduced inventory.

Texican

I have a pre-safety 1894 Marlin in .44 mag that requires waaaay to much force to load. (plus the inside edge of the frame window is sharp enough to shave brass off the cartridges.) So my question is: What's the best way to reduce the loading gate tension? Steve? I'd appreciate your input on this one.

Cool. That's a lot simpler than I thought it would be. I was thinking it would be a lot more complicated and involved but then again I guess I tend to overbuild. [It's my genetic imperative; from both sides.]

Thanks for the pic.

After a moment I realized the link to a t-shirt I posted was of questionable taste considering what some folks have suffered and continue to endure.

Thanks all. It's 9:22pm and before the sun went down the sky turned a creepy orange for a bit. The wind is gusting pretty hard, a few tree limbs are down around the neighborhood but we still have all utilities. Twice today I did hear a far off "Boom!" that I assume were transformers going ...

In addition to the grip frame and hammer, you might have to change the trigger as well. It has a different shape to it (more curved) and, I believe, slightly different geometry.

Practical shooters know that handgun-caliber ammo which averages two inches or less at fifty yards over a series of 5-shot groups from a scoped rifle or test barrel is entirely satisfactory for field use, because that’s better than most people can shoot.
