Re: Help With Evans Rifle
Thanks ndnchf, I wish I had the original bullet mould. I can extract one from the original cartridges in case a mould is not available through the sources you mentioned and go in that direction. My ultimate goal is to get he gun shooting, so I am not so much concerned with accuracy as having a funct...

Re: Help With Evans Rifle
The rifle I bought with the broken extractor was purchased a year ago. I never messed with it, or really knew what a good extractor looked like so I thought it was fine, until I chambered a cartridge and could not get it out. That's when I put my two rifles side by side and realized one had a broken...

Re: Help With Evans Rifle
This is my first attempt casting bullets so the alloy ratios are a little foreign to me. I bought lead from Buffalo based on what they thought would be best. However the tightness is due to the case base, I don't think the bullet is a contributor to this as a sized case and one loaded with a bullet ...

http://i1273.photobucket.com/albums/y420/fishlures/IMG_1286_zps4b4da584.jpg The bullet shown on the Buffalo website is not what is provided in their mould, there is a slight difference in that there are two grooves, but they are so narrow I doubt they were intended for lube. As you can see in my pic...

Re: Help With Evans Rifle
Thanks for the help posting photos, looks like mine were too large to post so I used the link via photobucket. You can see my reloads next to the original cartridges, the next two photos show the extractor, one of which is broken...

Re: Help With Evans Rifle
Cartridges are tight after resizing with and without loaded bullets, not material difference either way. A good chamber cleaning might make for a better fit. When I say tight I mean they do not gravity drop as to the original rounds do, a gentle push puts them into place and I can extract with my fi...

Re: Help With Evans Rifle
The amount of information the members offer is amazing! Being a newbie, it is so very much appreciated. I will be sure to post pics (assuming I can do so, just tried and didn't see them) now that I have the rife completely disassembled and update as I progress with this project. I feel a bit more co...

Re: Help With Evans Rifle
Priceless info, very much appreciated. I was just getting to the actual cartridge loading, after sizing my brass it is still a little bit tight in the chamber, but extracts none the less. A good cleaning will probably improve the fit. I got my mold and brass from Buffalo Arms, using 9-1/2 magnum rif...

Re: Help With Evans Rifle
First time uploading pics, hope it works, should be the extractors, one compete the other broken. Interestingly enough, it seems this may have been a common problem as other rifles have missing or broken extractors.

Re: Help With Evans Rifle
Many thanks Danny, this is the only reference that seems to have the correct case specifications for this cartridge. I am also working on a reproduction ammunition box and will be happy to share the completed label with any interested members. Have a gear week.

Hello all, I am new to the community. Did my best to search for info on the Evans Repeating Rifle but did not find anything on the forum, my apologies if I missed a posting. I am a collector and amateur shooter. I have (2) Evans rifles, both are the newer versions shooting the long .44 cartridge. My...
