Sorry for your loss. May he rest in peace.

Rube Burrows

Why does he not post here anymore? He sure is missed.

Rube Burrows

Here is my most used hunting rifle. It's a Winchester 94AE in 30-30 and I have carried it for many years and last season my youngest son got his first deer with it.

Rube Burrows

I always enjoy stories like this.

Band of Brothers and Lonesome Dove are my top two mini series ever. I really like how Band Of Brothers takes you from boot camp through the end of the war. Lets you get to know the people in the show and grow to like them. When/if something happens to one of them you feel a sadness. Like losing some...

The lever on mine was quite floppy - it would drop about 1/2” to 3/4” with the action closed. Anyhow, some of the remedies I read about suggested a spring was broken and needed replacement. I was dreading this as finding and importing that sort of stuff is a nightmare these days. I partially disman...

Rube Burrows

Good find. They are great rimfire leverguns. About a year ago I picked up one, a Mountie, that was made around 1960. I bought it sight unseen at auction and unbeknown to me it had the floppy lever syndrome. Anyhow, after a bit of google investigation it needed a bit of tightening and adjustment. Fo...

Oh nice, I have not seen them with the octagon barrel and s style grip.

Rube Burrows

You got a good one. Mine is a 74 with thousands of rounds thru it. It liked everything I put thru it, but WWSX the best followed by the CILImperial stuff. Have some match ammo to try thru it, but it would be hard to beat a dime sized group @150yds my gun shot one time. Probably blind squirred syndr...

I have wanted one of these for a long time now but just never came across one in person. Never even knew anyone who had one. Well, I went into a local pawn/gun shop to pick up another gun I was having delivered there and they had this beautiful Marlin Original 39A up there on the shelf. It was looki...

Rube Burrows

Dang. The new Winchester rounds have been around 56 a box and I thought that was high. Guess my ole model 8 will continue to diet untill I pick up some dies for the 35

Rube Burrows

Nice pick up.

Rube Burrows

I make a lot of holsters. You done a good job on picking out that holster and wet forming it. Looks like it was made for it. One of these days I need to grab myself a Lemat.

Rube Burrows

I use Dustin's kit as well. Good stuff.

Rube Burrows

What brand is that lever automatic that you got when searching John Wayne's knife? Its a beauty. It was made by AKC. European red stag handles. I really like it. I bought it online from "3Knives", which is now "The Knife Shop". https://www.knifeshop.com/en/home.html Unfortunatel...

Re: Thoughts on pocket knives: Never leave the house (actually bedroom) without one. You never have to hunt for a knife if it's with you all the time. If a knife is needed, even a poor excuse for one is better than not having one. Someone asks me if I have a knife I reply...... "Do I have my p...

Rube Burrows

Well, my favorite knives are large bowies, though I admit they are not practical for EDC where I live. :wink: Scott, like you, when I was growing up and all through school, including college, I always had a pocket knife on me. I had several teachers in elementary, middle and high school ask to borr...

I've read that one kit for caps is pretty reliable, but read one review where they were claimed to be corrosive... that's not a chance I want to take, plus they only seem to work in the 3d printed "star" cappers, I'm too used to either an in-line or snail capper to switch. Isn't black pow...

I'm a Case XX pocket knife collector and user. Case is what my Grandfather carried. I carry one every day. Usually a 63032 Stockman. That said, I have maybe 10 Buck 110 knives that I have bought over the years.

I saw Weldon Lister post about him and unfortunately, I was not aware of this man or his work. I was puzzled because the only Winston Churchill I every knew of was the former Prime Minister.

Awesome. My fav. Rossi 92 is a 20" also. I'll be shooting 300g and 250g XTPs thought it.

You might want to look at the posted articles on this site. Paco has a particularly good article that addresses this very topic.

Good shooting!

I will look for it. Thanks.

Pisgah wrote: ↑Wed Jul 26, 2023 1:17 pm Yes, they can handle the Ruger loads. Quite well, in fact, and from a 24" barrel they are pretty darned impressive...

Oh, I bet so. I have been working up a couple hunting loads for my Blackhawk and was thinking it would be great for the Rossi too.

Rube Burrows

COSteve wrote: ↑Wed Jul 26, 2023 1:00 pm Well, they make a Rossi 1892 in 454 Casull with a SAAMI spec pressure of 50,000 CUP so I'm thinking that .45 Colt Ruger will be a piece of cake for it. Seriously, the Model 92's action design is super strong and it will do fine with a Ruger only load.

I thought so but just wanted to be sure.

Rube Burrows

I am trying to find out if the Rossi 1892 can handle some of the hotter Ruger Only 45 Colt Loads? I have been looking around on the internet to find the safe pressures for the Rossi 92s but having been able to find much on the actual capable pressure limits.

Agreed.

Rube Burrows

The firearms community has lost another good one.

He had been looking frail the last time I saw him on camera. Sad to hear of his passing. Really enjoyed his show over the many years.

Rube Burrows

Fun. I still enjoy the 410 myself.

Rube Burrows

Any photos of the revolver? I have been on a Blackhawk and Super Blackhawk kick here lately.

Rube Burrows

Nice rifle.

Rube Burrows

Nice. I haven't had a Bear Cat in a while but they are great little guns. Last one I had I traded for one of the SASS Red Box Vaquero sets in 45 colt.

Rube Burrows

Would love to visit the area sometime. Thanks for sharing the pics.

Rube Burrows

I really enjoy Bisley-framed Rugers as well. I have three of them; a .44 mag, a .45 Colt and a medium frame .44 spl. I had the barrels on the first two cut down to 5 1/2" and the .44 spl which is a flattop came that way.. Thanks for the link to your video. I am hoping to build a custom .44 spl...

Rube Burrows

Not sure if you mean New Model Super Blackhawk or just a newer one.

Mine was made in 1997 but it is a New Model Bisley. I very much like it. Just shot it for the first time yesterday.

I have 2 of the blued ones,one with a 8 inch barrel and one with a 5 1/2 inch barrel. Really Like them both and they are fun. Also Have 3 extra cylinders for them.

That's a really good way for them to get their products in the hands of buyers! What they should do is make a special run, number them and each of the folks that were fortunate enough to have it get the number they were.

Thanks. I finally got to shoot it Saturday and it was pretty fun. Split a couple cards and shot some others head on.

Rube Burrows

That's a fun project. Good for Pietta. It reminds me of something similar that was thought up a few years ago by muzzleloading rifle maker Roy Stroh. He built a nice hunting rifle -- can't remember if percussion or flint -- named her "Run Around Sue," and shipped her off under similar cir...

I am not sure how many people here are aware of the Brotherhood Of The Traveling 1858 that Pietta has going around right now. I thought I would share a little bit about it here for those who have not heard of it. So, The Brotherhood of the Traveling 1858 is an engraved Pietta New Model Army "18...
