Rube, I was telling you the negatives of the 1877 Colt.......on the positive side they are cool and full of history......don't let my negativity keep you from your quest of acquiring a cool gun........just don't think your going to have a gun that you can shoot until the cows come home like you can...

Rube Burrows

Unless your mechanically inclined stay away from these guns......even if you luck onto a fine example it won't be fine if you start shooting it to any degree......I've had em and in the few I've had, I had a beauty in 41 that looked like it was used for one box of ammo......after just a hundred or ...

Always a day late and a dollar short.

Rube Burrows

I normally like the Mammoth Ivory over the molar due to the layered lines but these are fine. Looking forward to seeing them fitted.

Rube Burrows

I know this is a lever gun group but there are lots that collect other stuff also. I don't own any older Colt revolvers but have always wanted a model 1877 Thunderer or possibly a Lightning. Are there any groups out there with buy/sell pages or other places I can look. I have been looking at Gunbrok...

Rube Burrows

Def. one of the greats. RIP Mr. Pride.

Rube Burrows

I have a Miroku 73 Winchester and its a fine shooting well made smooth right out of the box 73. Shoots great and looks great. The quality is much better out of the box than Uberti. I have a Uberti 73 that out of the box was a little stiff so I had it smoothed up. It works well and looks good. I have...

What a wonderful old Colt.

Thanks for posting. Hadn't heard of him before. Cool song. It always makes me a little sad to read about the guys that lived through the changing times at the close of the 19th century. One of the most celebrated ways of life (even if brutally hard) coming to an end. Guess there's some of that goin...

Rube Burrows

Cool story and a Cool song, I like it too.... 8) "When the Cowboys was King". Yeah. This song is just full of nostalgia. When he says..... "When I first saw Montana, I knew I would love her" I get chills. I just sit and think about what all he is doing in the song and it really ...

Rube Burrows

I am sure some of you here may know the story of Bob Fudge. I had never heard of him till recently. A music artist named Colter Wall who is Canadian and sings a folk style of country music usually has a song titled Bob Fudge. I gave it a listen and have prob. listened to it 100 times since. I like t...

Seems like a solid buy. I see way worse at much higher prices around here.

Rube Burrows

New guns are always fun. You'll hear no naysaying from me.

Good luck in the new venture.

Rube Burrows

I see that JJE Capital Holdings, LLC was the successful bidder for AAC(Advanced Armaments Corp). This is of interest to me because I own a Element2 suppressor made by AAC that I use with my Ruger 22/45 MKIV Lite and my Marlin 795. I don't know much about JJE but hopefully they will continue to put ...

Rube Burrows

That is pretty cool.

Well...good news and bad news...... The trooper showed up and I presented the story and the picture proof. I asked him what the procedure was and he said they will call the owner of the car up and have them come in for an interview. Here's the problem...if they keep their mouth shut and refuse to c...

Thanks for the kind words.

I think I got my foreend stock from ebay but I'm not 100% sure on that. I was searching all over to find one that length. Got the buttstock from Numrich as well as other parts like the end cap, metal for buttstock, magazine hanger, magazine etc. For the finish I did a Rust Bluing job and wiped it d...

I am in awe of your leatherwork! I love the way you made the cartridge loops in the gun belt. :D I have always wanted a Schofield, but never seem to have the funds.... :mrgreen: Thank you. I wanted a pair of Schofields for a long time also. When I had the extra money I could never find the right pa...

+1000. Its bad enough in my opinion to have the serial number there......the QR codes are absolutely a turn off.

Rube Burrows

Ha.....I just posted a link about the sale also.

Glad Ruger got Marlin. At least they are a good solid American made company that does not appear to be in any financial trouble. They have a great product too.

Rube Burrows

Hate to see Remington having so many problems but love that Ruger was the high bidder on Marlin. Ruger is a great company and I know they will do the Marlin brand well. https://www.thetruthaboutguns.com/remington-asset-bids-revealed-ruger-gets-marlin-vista-gets-remington-ammo-franklin-armory-gets-bu...

Actually, do either of you have a way to accurately weigh your finished rifle? like with a kitchen or postage scale? I'm really curious about how much the final weight will be. Let me see if my scale will weight it. Its pretty heavy no lie but balances well when carrying. It seems to weigh 8.4 poun...

Rube Burrows

Thanks! That's a sweet looking rifle, great job! so, both of you guys mentioned Uberti parts. where do you get those from ? part numbers? etc.? Thanks! my rifle is mid/late 60's vintage. I'd love to get that weathered look you've got going there. I already have a crescent post 64 stock that I got f...

Hey guys, I got one of those 26" octagon 38-55 barrels from Numrich and its at the gun smith right now being put on a winchester 94 receiver. does anyone know what the correct length forearm is for this barrel? The barrel already has a dovetail cut for the tenon, so I know I need a tenon, fore...

The guns you pull out Six, never cease to amaze me. The 38-40 is a caliber that I have never had the chance to shoot but have always wanted to get. For one reason or another I just haven't ever got anything in that caliber. I still dream to have a Marlin 1888 in 38-40. Rube.....thank you! Whether y...

Funny how that works ain't it? I was pulled over the other day (first time in years) for doing 60 in a 45. As soon as I seen the lights I pulled over. He walked up and asked for my information. I complied, he ran my name and stuff and then asked me to watch my speed to which I said "yes sir&quo...

Very nice and good shooting.

Rube Burrows

You can watch a number of the old westerns especially Bonanza and see them take the front handguard off of a 1892 Winchester or even 1894 Winchester and try to pass it off as a Henry 1860, side loading gate and all. Some were even painted brass color to complete the change. I have seen this in sever...

Here is a good one. Open Range where Boss Spearman blasts a guy through a wall with his double barrel blowing him violently against the next wall. See it here starting at about the 3:58 mark.

My all time favorite is Wanted Dead or Alive staring Steve McQueen. He has that cut down 1892 Winchester (like the modern Mare's Leg) in a holster on his hip. So far, so good, however, if you look at the ammo in his belt, the rounds are almost certainly 45-70s and no way would they fit in the actio...
