last year sold a uberti bisley in 44 special as new in box etc and i sold it for a price well below a new one wholesale. mm young man who bought it was tickled. his last name was James.... a direct descendant of the famous Jesse James. i felt really good about selling him his first ever single actio...

thanks !

its the smoothest lever action i have ever handled

the bullard is a bottom loader and was made in small frames and large frames, including 45/70

i bought some of those from you and used them and they grouped really well. still have some left and have at least 20 or so of the loaded cartrirdges. good stuff !!

hfcable

that rear sight is the Charles Daniels ghost ring sight. it could be ordered on early special order winchesters or added on afteermarket. it is pretty useful and is pretty valuable in itself. ii have one on a remington model 25 pump in 32/20

while American Derringer Company was in business, they made a lot of interesting things and occasionally a run of odd ones. this is one of their OUs in 45/410. i have a couple of shorter barrel ones now and have had several others. i remembered this model and a year or so ago, i found one in an auct...

still photographing and cataloging my stuff and thinning the herd, and sometimes forget what neat things i have: this is the classic Savage 24V OU in 20 gauge and 30/30. i fitted a period weaver KV variable scope, with quick detachable mounts and also fitted a second set of 410/410 OU barrels as wel...

the model 150 is a very nice rifle, i have one of those and it works quite well !

hfcable

yes, it says i joined in 2007 but i was sure it was earlier. i was on the " campfire' web site from 1999 onward. i am an old coot, but i do have a lot of lever guns and have had even more over the years. one of my most favorites is this 1876 winchester in 50/95 caliber https://i.imgur.com/BSWOd...

it is really accurate, shooting right up there with the bolt action 17HMRs that i have.

i am not sure how many of these were made but not very many !

i think they made relatively few before ceasing operations: https://i.imgur.com/kVY8qSC.jpg https://i.imgur.com/zrKnhxy.jpg https://i.imgur.com/a3ntFS2.jpg the winchester 94/17 .... it is a hard item to find. i like the HMR17 and this one is a real shooter [ think ground squirrels and prairie dogs ]...

hfcable

do you mean rechambered to 30/03 ? i would think so, but would have to look at all the dimensions to make sure.

hfcable

i did have one in 35 WCF...almost too nice to use, and since i had the 405 i sold it to a friend. sorta wish i had kept it. its a great caliber !

hfcable

have several original 1895s , including a 405, and a russian musket, and an NRA musket, but my favorite is this SRC in 30/06 .it has the lyman receiver sight. i have a lower pressure load but with excellent velocity that puts 3 shots in one hole at 50 yds https://i.imgur.com/rvlYSE8.jpg https://i.im...

hfcable

i have both. i like the 480 better but both will do any job i need them to do. the 454 may have a slight edge in power but doubt if any animal could tell the difference

hfcable

very very good to hear from you!

i think of you often when i check in on this forum

hfcable

OOOOH! A 96! 8) i gave my son one of these and then i got another for my own use. i also have the 96/22, the 96/22WMR. and the 96/17HMR. all of them are outstanding shooters. i bought all these years ago when they were available and not very expensive. but holy cow they are worth a lot now !!

hfcable

darn! you are right.. me too ! and my young grandkids have every reasonable expectation of living well in to te 22nd century !

i AM OLD ! [77 now and 78 in november if i make it ]

hfcable

and some of it was large quantities of loaded ammo. i was interested in the 50/95 ammo as i have two rifles for that caliber. i have brass and loaded rounds, but ccant hurt to have more.

let us know if he is starting to sell stuff

thanks

look at Wusthof knives. they are made in solingen germany. they make some of the best kitchen knives i have ever seen. my wife and i bought an extensive set of these about 2 years ago. they are outstanding.

hfcable

the browning 1886s also had the same problem. i used a reamer by hand and easily fixed this problem on mine and a buddy's 1886.

you are only removing a small amount of metal and it doesnt take very long. there is a handle to use for turning the reamer.

hfcable

heck of a deal ! i have a couple of these and they are most fun and pleasant shooters !

so very sad for all of us. he will be welcomed and comforted and filled with joy, but we will miss him greatly.

sometime soon i am going to sell the super black hawk 480........the destructive arthiritis in my hands makes it impossible to use anything more than a 44 magnum.

i have one that was converted to 44 magnum and have had it ore than 20 years and suspect it was done way before then. i had it converted to a trapper length take down and it is a really nice little package,

it is accurate and feeds 240 gr and 300 gr loads quite well

cant find my pictures of it.
