Your 'smith can rent that reamer for about $35.00. I don't think the barrel has to be taken off the action, depending on the reamer shaft length, to do the job. So, a couple of hours plus the reamer cost. $150.00?

I agree. Going into unknown water in your bare feet is crazy! Anything is there from Stingrays in the surf to broken bottles in a lake.

It would chamber. But what's the point, the shot/cup will be spun by the rifling and the pattern would be useless? Same thing happens with shot in any rifled barrel. Bad guy might be scared by the noise, but unless he was very close the damage would be minor, and it might really p--- him off to boot...

Go to Genforum. If you know you grand parents, or further back, that can get you started on your search. Another site is Morman Family Geneology. I have my line traced back to 600 AD in Ulster, Ireland. It took about 6 years to complete. Be careful of spelling changes of the surname through the year...

Oh wow, I thought you were getting a Yugo automobile. You had me worried for a minute. Nice looking piece.

I had friends that managed the movie ranch in Thousand Oaks where Rawhide was filmed. At that time my friends thought he was just a lazy kid around the set. Boy, has he come a long way! The Italian trillogy and the Dirty Harry series really brought him into star category. His later directing ability...

Have you ever used a 45 Colt cartridge conversion cylinder in any 44 C&B's?

Gun Smith

I'm only familier with the original '86's. To remove the mag. tube from them you need to remove the two forearm cap screws, as these sometimes snag the tube. The mag. plug screw needs to be removed as it sometimes goes clear through the tube an into an indent in the barrel. The magazine retaining ri...

C H Die company makes them. About a 100 bucks, if I remember.

I had one experience with Mr. Fellers. He had a rare M.95 Winchester tang sight for sale. I don't rember the exact price, about $350.00. I sent my check to him. After waiting several weeks I contacted him to see what happened to my order. He then contacted me and said he quoted the wrong price. No c...

What I noticed was the poorly lighted, cramped, and dirty facilities! Poor guys that have to shoot in that.

We keep mentioning the Polar bear. The Dharma people had a zoo on the island. What got the writers in such a pikle early on was the scene of the pilot being ripped out of the plane. They then had to use a "smoke monster" after that to explain what occured. I think the original entity that ...

You've heard the term "salt pork". Preserving bacon with salt, saltpeter, vinegar, and spices was a common method. It could be smoked, and jerkied also. Any of the methods kept it edible for weeks to months. Look up preserving bacon on the net. There are many methods.

Campa's weapons. Winchester Model 95 carbines and muskets.

I love the "height challenged" gentleman in the first picture. His tucked pants and stance show him to be one tough hombre!

They will be opening an outlet in Eugene, Oregon soon according to the local newspaper

There might have been just enough angle between the cartridge above and the sharp corner of the bullet below to snag the primer. Scary!

Sorry t.r., while the film is an early technicolor film it was not the first, the first technicolor film was "The Gulf Between" filmed in 1917.

My favorite is when EVERY bullet pings and sings even in soft dirt. I guess most sound effects men have never used a gun. Another favorite mentioned is when the hero or villain will rack the action of his gun to scare his opponent. It is easy to hear that the gun is empty. If I was approaching a pot...

I didn't want to highjack the original thread. OK guys, let's put together our own lists of the best westerns ever filmed, a minimum of 10 up to 25. #1 is best. Let's all take a couple of days to compile them.

Gun Smith

Were they in the gun collection room? I've been there and the completeness of the display of Winchester production is impressive. Well worth a trip if you are in the area.

Gun Smith

Are you branding or clipping? Looks like branding to me, except for the position of the calf.

My younger brother died in 2003 from colon cancer. He was 62. Way too young. He fought it for 7 years before it got him. I have had Colitus for many years. After his death I was put on a short lease (once a year) for colonoscopies. Twice they have found pre-cancerous polyps. In short, don't put that...

If you are also interested in old cars, the Harrah's auto collection is nice. It's in downtown Reno. Just a shadow of what Bill Harrah had before his death, but still interesting.

I believe it's a model 1895 Winchester. Look at the tapered forearm.

awp101, 'Be not afraid ........". Colt SAA. "The gun that.....". Winchester 1873. Spencer may be right. But I always thought that the Henry was described by Confederate soldiers as "the gun you load on Sunday and shoot all week". hog leg. I was refering to long barreled hols...

Over the years many firearms have earned a nickname describing their use, looks, reputation, etc. Here are a few I thought of. What are they, and how many more can you come up with? "Be not afraid of any man no matter what his size. When danger threatens call on me and I will equalize!" &q...

Do the case rims have an interference fit with each other that precludes their fitting the cylinder?

Eli Wallach IS one of the most famous 'scene chewers" in film. That sucker is 95 years old! He's always been one of my favorites. Remember him in "The Good , the Bad, and The Ugly. He also was in Steve McQueen's last picture, "The Hunter".

Try Marlin 1893 to start.

Uberti may be using the fact that cartridge brass adheres to the chamber walls at the instant of ignition, and then shrinks back that allows extraction. The explosive force at firing on the bolt face is much less than the chamber pressure due to this and is not subject to the same pressure as the ch...

Because of the design and heat treatment of the action it is probably the smoothest working actions of the early bolt rifles.

One of the cable channels did a story about the OK corral fight. They tried to be as accurate as possible. They determined that Doc Holiday probably fired the first shot (shotgun) after hearing pistols cocked. What was interesting to me was the fact that there were 8 men and at least two horses in a...

I believe primers have a sealing agent in the cup for moisture protection. I have always handled them with my fingers with no problems in 60 years of reloading.

Could be just an audible function of that gun's action as it locks.

Was he lacerated at the hospital?

Just kidding!

How much do you need to spend to get a browning 1895? I see a couple of real Winchester 1895's for $1000-1100.00. A real one will only go up in value. The replicas will only go down in value. Save up for a couple of months and get a real one. My $.02.

Gun Smith

Three down, 47 to go!

All C&R eligable guns can be bought and sold in California with no state restrictions ---EXCEPT ALL HANDGUNS, even C&R eligable, --- they must go through a FFL holder in California. So, if you see a C&R eligable gun you want, you might try to contact the buyer or seller and ask about it....

Gun Smith

It looks like it has had some cold bluing applied in the past. If so, that would detract from the value to a collector. Check Gunbroker and find a similar gun for sale and see what it brings.

Gun Smith

Sorry, 405 W.C.F. brass is the only case with a body close enough to be formed into 40-72. You also have to turn down the rim to .519".
I have the same problem with my 38-72 M. 95.

Gun Smith

Yes, it will fireform the cases as long as you can feel a bit of closing bolt pressure against the 19 degree case when you chamber it ,and it should fire form OK. DO NOT chamber a shorter case, no matter what the angle. I wouldn't grind down the dies. You really only need to neck size the cases anyw...

I had one class with her at San Diego State College about 1960. She was Raquel Tejada then. She really "stood out" in a crowd then too!

Remember, you are NOT REALLY retired until you don't know what DAY it is when someone asks! And you could care less!

Generally speaking if the screw holes in the receiver are, in any way, dished this is a sure sign of reblue. Another way is to examine the stamped or rolled lettering, same thing, any rounding is also a sign. The third way is to examine the screw heads, if they are smooth and blue on the top, but ni...

Actually the "Gun That Won The West" was probably a simple generic double barrel shotgun. EVERYONE had one down on the farm or ranch.

Well I watched it last night. I can't believe how much different he looks in this series. The show was OK, but I'll give it a couple of more viewings before deciding how good it is. Is his semi auto a movie prop or a real pistol. It was hard to tell. The shot of it being pulled out of the holster an...
