Ok, I will. But I'm gonna ask for help. We have dial up. It can take 20 or 30 minutes for me to take a picture, load it to the computer, load it to photo bucket, then bring it here. I can take a lot of photo's on this subject. Is there a faster way to do this. I have an hour into it so far and I'm o...

JMiller. Those are Marx trains. I have collected and played with them since I was a kid. Maybe I will take some photos and post. Do you think anyone will care?

Early Americans have had the 10mm since 1880. We just call it the 38WCF. Oh, and it works good in a rifle or revolver.

Thanks. I really don't collect any more. Life style has changed enough that I don't go to shows much. I do enjoy the hobby though.

I was able to get a few pictures clear enough to post. There is one with the W in the circle. It is in a 405wcf. There are other primer stamps and head stamps to look at, too.

Acording to w30wcf, it is as you suspect. A method of identifying the cartidges containing early smokeless rounds. The black powder rounds didn't have a mark. In my small collection I have some marked primers. I'll see if I can get a good picture.

Well there I was, sitting down and relaxing the other night about sun set and the phone rings. One of my buds, Dan, has hit a nice buck bow hunting. It ran 40 yards out of sight and laid down. He bumped it out of it's bed and it took off. He thinks it's hit good, just behind the front leg, leaking o...

You're right, Hobie, it wasn't. "Given possible future circumstances which might restrict availability of BP, what ONE BP should I buy now for use in both the .45-75 and flintlock musket?" 2F. As for relying on others, especially a friend of a friend, I try not to. It keeps me from being d...

I love these theoretics. In my situation I can shoot 45 colt Army, 45 Kentucky, 50 Hawken and 12 gauge double. So FF and FFF are both better to have. If one really feels this situation could arise, and I do, and if you have the ability to get them now, and we do, do so. However, that being said, con...

In my opinion, this would not make a good recommendation to anyone wanting "one gun". However, that being said, I have said for years, probably the most versatile single firearm a person could buy, that won't break the bank, is a Remington Express 870. For me, I say 20 gauge. Matt finish w...

My grandfather, Frank Weber, did some homesteading in Colorado. It was a little earlier though, in the 20's. I believe I remember my dad saying he took an O3A3. For whatever reason, he ended back here in Ohio and here the family was raised. This is one of the few pictures I have of him back then. An...

"Neither cartridge was "well established" they both came out at the same time in the new 1873 model. they named the 38-40 backwards, it holds 38 grs of powder, and uses a 40 cal bullet." Actually the 44WCF came out with the 1873. The cartridge was called the "Winchester Mode...

Are the check in stations DNR, or are they local businesses? Here in Ohio it is the later. Most do the check in as a way to increase potential customers. Hardware stores, drive throughs, gas stations, etc. The DNR should be made aware of this. They waste enough money as it is without having to work ...

It appears to me that the metal is a little proud of the wood, indicating that has been sanded at some point. The color of the stocks doesn't match, also. My pictures are coming in realy poor and I'm having trouble seeing them so don't count on this. The wood to metal fit appears to be nice though. ...

I don't know about where you all live, but the local gun shop near me deals in used equipment also. He always has dies, presses, books and whatever else you might need. Plus knowledge. You don't have to buy right away but it's great to get a hands on look while they explain details. Then you can go ...

Oh, if only Ohio DNR would please wake up to this. Then Ohio lever gunners wouldn't have to go out of state to legally hunt with these arms.

Rant on. Here in Ohio a you must wear a jacket or vest or coveralls that are solid hunter orange or camouflage hunter orange. Over the years our DNR has enjoyed changing these laws many times.

Here's more. John Kort, aka W30WCF, sent me some copies of a few Winchester catalogs. Wonderful reading. Thanks John. In the 1879 catalog it states in reference to the 1873 rifle that it was being offered to "..meet the demand of our many correspondents for a small bore repeater, suitable for s...

W30WCF. Is it possable to post some pictures of what you have? This is some of the exact info I am looking for. Do you have Winchester catalogs that actually call the round 38-40 as oppoed to 38WCF?
Gobbler

Gobblerforge

I'm trying to get some information on why, when Winchester came out with the 38 WCF, it was not called the 40WCF since it is .401 caliber. Anyone have any info on this? It has been discussed elsewhere but not answered. I personally have heard several theories. What's yours.

I have an older Hornady book that I was brousing through. I found it interesting that for almost every round, and I mean every round, there is the normal load listings for jacketed bullets and then for cast bullet loads there is a load listing for IMR 4227. As I understand the power curve, 4227 has ...

I agree with almost everything you said. However, number 11 strikes me as un-American to tell another American he can't say something because you don't like it. My father was a Marine, and as a son of one I am here to tell you I have every right to call him a Jar Head. If he didn't like it then it w...

Actually, it's not that uncommon to have multiple Eagle Scouts in one family. If the parents are that involved and care that much, and once there is the first Eagle in the family, then it gets easier for the next scouts to advance. Possative peer preasure at work.
