it is nice to be able to post photos. I dont have that luxury. I am sorry, I forgot to clarify my sight recommendation does not have an oval hole. I just made an edit in big cap letters. I am trying to help the OP even if its a year later. But I screwed up my post and I do not have a hosting service...

I just installed an Improved Model Marbles windage tang sight on a Win 1892. This is a New Haven original manufacture gun. I cannot post photos so all i can do is list the parts. And explain in words. It is necessary to dis-assemble the base and re-assemble with the piece the holds the upright rever...

After some research it turns out S&W plans to offer three nostalgia models without the lock. THAT IS ALL !!! The lock is not gone and we are expected to pay a big premium to delete something nobody wants in the first place. (I guess, I don't know the price) $979.00 retail is what i saw for the ...

No comment on the ammo except to say 300gr 454 is a lot of power. Since the 454 topic is on the table, I have studied the ballistic tables and convinced myself there is no advantage with the 460. The 454 seems to be seriously under appreciated as hand cannons go. It is incredibly powerful in a norma...

I think it is a bad idea simply because it is un necessary. A person can easily purchase, trim and handload 327 brass to shoot in the Marlin and any 327 handgun. It is no different than shooting 38 special in a 357 which almost everybody does. And 38 special can be loaded very +P, if desired. If I w...

Stuff like that puts things into perspective real fast.

Not a coincidence YouTube is pretty smart with the ads. They got my number that is for sure.

Some of the #1s were 9.3x 74 also, I've pinned for one but I'm in no rush to buy one as I doubt I'm going to Africa anytime soon and my 338WM or 375 H&H have it covered. Ruger did a 450/400 and 450NE. I got the 450/400 and I am very pleased with that. It is surprisingly manageable. Not nearly a...

Seems to me Ruger made limited runs of the 77 MK-II and the #1 in 9.3x62 a few years back . I had to check that and they did! Ruger African with woods stock. Very nice gun. I am not shopping online or looking hard but if I saw a CZ, Brno, Zastava and now Ruger 77, it would get a serious look. I don...

I’ve never owned or fooled with a 9.3mm . I did own the barrel and action for a 9.3x57 for a couple weeks , but ended up selling it when I found out about what even the friends and family discount was gonna be to get it stocked in a way I’d have liked . Always wanted a 9.3x62 and CZ made it in the ...

I dont appreciate the drillings either but there must be a reason. I wonder if these sell in the countries that have strict limits on gun ownership. It cannot be to save money, because they look very well made. Or do they still make these? Today I would think a single barrel gun with multiple barrel...

Whatever you did would be a lot easier to just buy new empty hulls. You can find plastic 3" or brass 2 1/2". Might even be a source for Brass 3". Brass having greater internal volume. I think to load you can get by with a hand priming tool and a low cost scale. Two items, short money....

I know this is simply stating (or restating) the obvious, but I think it worth saying. Given adequate shot size and power, How a shotgun patters is all the counts. The ONLY reason for more pellets is to get a get a better pattern. If the OP can add 1/10 oz more shot, he then has to determine if this...

I always got plenty of hate to go around. Just kidding. I would rather call it my free will to purchase what I like and not just "make due" like I must to in so many aspects of my life. Complaining on line is my way to speak to the industry. Not against any member or gun owner. First 45LC ...

Forebore, You probably don’t like Harley’s either :) . People will pay for good looking and well made retro guns and motorcycles. Look around and you will find retro rv trailers, rustic home designs, and guns like Beretta’s “Retro” model 75 9mm among others. Trooper Joe In fact, I own a 2000 (oops ...

Beautiful! Thats the one I wish Ruger Marlin would bring back! That was well taken care of thats for sure You all are all going to get sick of my posting, but here goes. I have a 39M, which I guess you all refer to as a 39A Mountie. I dont like the takedown feature. It is very tight. The internal m...

Even with the reduced velocity it still had full expansion. It did not penetrate both sides but the slug was found caught in the hide on the opposite side. No tracking was involved. I think this is a good bullet. My initial point was a hard cast with 100% pass threw is not ideal. She got the full e...

The higher energy combined with controlled expansion of jacket bullets imparts more tissue damage than a solid. It seems fair to point out a poorly selected jacketed bullet can under perform in a way no solid will ever fail. But a properly loaded and designed JSP in a less well placed shot may still...

fourbore

I think the difference would be more noticeable using expanding jacketed bullets. I agree the 44-40 is under appreciated, but implying it is just as good maybe counter productive.

fourbore

Veeman, that is three nice big levers! If I had any influence at Miruko or Uberti I would get them going on a 50-100 in an 1886 setup like your 76 in 45-75 but pistol grip and rubber butt plate. And they could stamp it 50-110 as long as it had the 50-100 twist rate for more powerful 50-100 loads.

One more tid bit to consider. When my mother was my age her hearing was worse than mine now. She never fired a gun or worked in a noisy environment. Those little hearing bones wear out and no need to look for excuses or reasons beyond old age. I guess what goes around come around. I got her a pair o...

My take on hearing aids is probably never. It is just one more example of people around you trying to make them selves feel better, While pretending this is for you. You want to talk to me then take your nose out of the phone and look me in the eye and talk. If at the dining table chew swallow, thin...

I have been loading for my Marlin and that will not help you. I also have a Miruko 73 and been shooting cowboy loads whcih is also no help. Something might be of interest was when researching these guns I found that old Winchester and current Uberti were (or could be) 427 bore while the recent Marli...

I have to say something and it may not be appreciated or I am odd man out. For years I was unhappy with the super black hawk only having a 7 1/2 barrel. I had one and I sold it. It is a collector gun today. who knew? I later got the 6 1/2 flat top (older used gun) and that barrel seemed closer to id...

I just posted last week on another forum some idle speculation that the 360 seemed like one of the more useful and well though out new & improved straight wall. A true .358 based on 30-30 brass. Not much response. I think a lot of people kind of put off with all the crazy fad ctgs right now. The...

Happy Days :D I fired a 4 shot group at 25 yards with about 1/2 (corrected 1/2) inch vertical spread !! Oh boy. The horizontal was an inch, but I dont care. I can work with this. No vertical component. I changed a lot of things. I reduce the charge from 15 to 13.5 H110 because it was claer I need to...

Excellent, thank you. There seems as-if there is no competition among the American makers. A 3c item (or 4c adjusted for inflation) sells for 10c. I recently restock some CCI as a hedge against months of court battles, recounts and protests following the election. I know,.. dont say it. With a clear...

I suggest anyone looking to upgrade consider the RCBS tool. It was over $100 and while I dont know if its is any better than the Lee or worth the higher price. I purchased it to handle 577 Snider. I have not used it since becasue I am some kind of ocd crazy and went back to hand priming. Plus it tak...

I got the Marbles tang site mounted. That was quite an adventure. Now it is done and looks good and more important, I can see.

I use a Caldwell front rest, the type with an elevation screw and a yellow leather bag for the butt. Forarm on the rest. But I was probably sloppy in my hold becasue the gun recoil so little. I will be on my best behavior next time. I struggle with iron sights and do suspect I am half the problem. I...

My first post was to ask for 32-20 load advise which was a great help. I have now fired the gun with mild factory ammo using lead bullets and my own jacketed bullets loaded with H110. I had not notice the stringing with the mild factory ammo but a review of all my old targets show that is happening ...

I would like a low wall someday. Open minded to just about any caliber or configuration, new or old Winchester or Uberti if they did one.

I hesitated to say exactly how the shooting went due to my rush to shoot and get home. Under ideal conditions last time out, I got got a round 5 shot 3" group at 50 yards with Black Hills low power lead bullets ammo. Disappointing. Today with jacketed reloads, I shot the two 5 shot groups at 50...

I am back and just caught up on the posts and again like to thank all who helped out. I loaded 10 rounds and shot two targets today. All with 14.5gr H110, 5 with once fired brass that I neck sized and 5 with new brass that I did not size at all. My bad luck was a busy Saturday at the club and light ...

So why hot load 32-20? My thoughts. I did not buy this gun with a desire to own a 32-20. I liked the features and finish of this particular limited Miruko. It is was offered at a big discount due to the caliber. In 44-40 this would have been sold quick for $400 higher easy. I got a deal, but that sa...

I have the Hornady manual. They dont show H110 but do have 4227. Those two are close enough that 15gr to 16gr for H110 is a reasonable max to extrapolate from the 4227 data. Or more important for me, it validates the information provided here. I am trying to wean myself off any IMR powders. I have 4...

Thank you both. I will ignore the level 2 info and plan on trying 15gr +/- H110 with 85 gr. Maybe Paco can say more later? I already have 2lbs H110 and 4k CCI 550 small magnum pistol primers. Reasonable primer choice? The primers were a deal from an estate. This seems a good opportunity to use them....

Hi. New guy here with a question. Imagine that! I visited a sight with 32-20 loads listed by Paco Kelly. Not sure as I type if that was linked from this site, but same name.
