Gosh I’d love that 8 bore pinfire. I’d also like the 10g single break above with the Turkey! My biggest thumper these days is a .450 Nitro 3 1/4”. Uses a lighter load specially for these rifles by Cogswell and Harrison - 440gr with 65gr cordite for 2000fps instead of the regular .450 load of 480gr b...

Do it! Hope you’ve got one of those leather sewing machines - geez it made things quicker!

Thanks guys

EG73

I want one of those marlin levers in this cartridge

EG73

Thanks guys! A lot of credit goes to the Saddler we worked under. He’s the true master

What to make next? Maybe a cartridge wallet? I don’t know..

EG73

Marlin 1891? Very nice! Very $$$ too!

How do you find loading it through the gate?

EG73

My wife and I do leather workshops occasionally with a saddler. Last weekend we decided to do a project - in this case it was a backpack style saddle. So I used my 1895CB and built to suit under the saddlers guidance. Was initially going to do a 10 round ammo thing on the sling but then he suggested...

Screw it I’ll get one when they come to Aus.

Likewise, Drawdown. As for KJV I’ve been listening to an audiobible whilst on the positrack at work and it’s NIV. Quite enjoying it so I’m thinking of getting an NIV to have a crack at now :) Thanks guys, your response is how I imagined this place to be :D Grizz - what’s the revolver? And love a fla...

So I had this idea, and tried it on another forum (of rich “he-men” safari hunters who laugh in the face of danger, apparently). A thread where you can post a pic of one of your favourite rifles (or handguns), your main Bible, and your favourite knife, in the one photo. Well it was deemed offensive ...

EG73

Watching with interest.
That Leverguns50 YouTube channel I think shares load data but with patreons only?

EG73

I don’t suppose anyone knows what height sight I’ll need for a 25-20 hitting about 6” high at 50? Current is .35” but I got some taller ones and they’re super loose in the dovetail

EG73

Love it! There’s something cool about big bores with small cases.

EG73

Why is it whenever I look at rifles for sale (92’s, 86’s, 76’s, cold lightnings) etc the rear elevator is always on its lowest possible notch. Do they always shoot high? Do we need to load them hotter, milder? My 1892 shoots really high with factory sights on the maxed out rear sight also. Why is th...

EG73

As someone who didn’t get a 1895 .405wcf for $2kaud (1500usd at the time) about 4 years ago (with factory express sites and in good condition)…don’t pass it up. I still think of this rifle weekly.

Buy buy.

EG73

You guys are classic traditional Americans and I love it.

May God guide your choices, have faith in his will even if it’s not what you wanted.

EG73

You notice the large price gap between 150K and 275K? That’s because half of the value of that gun is the story behind it and being owned by a somewhat unknown but prominent family. It also has the crate. I’ve seen plenty of like new case colored 1886’s, 1873’s, 1895’s and single action Colts (one ...

EG73

Surprised it had no rust after sitting so long in a box. Impressive condition.

EG73

Gosh I’d love a modern 1886 converted to .50-110 and loaded HOT if I was to ever hunt elephant. Something different but capable..
I don’t think I’d like the recoil though.

EG73

Nice!

I’ll sneak this question in here - the Rossi’s that are in rifle configuration - is there much different about them or are they similar quality to the carbine style ones?
(The rifle style being without barrel bands etc)

EG73

I still want an 89..

EG73

That’s ECR (electrochemical rifling). Used by S&W on the majority of revolvers made between the late 90’s and approx 2018. The grooves were literally burned into the bore via an EDM (electrical discharge machining) process using an electrode in the shape of the grooves. A byproduct of that proc...

That’s a great video. I really enjoyed watching him use that old cooking set to make his coffee. A lot of work but a satisfying return on his labor. My problem is that I just don’t slow down enough to enjoy life that much. I’m pretty sure that I am not doing this right. I’d love to buy some land an...

I reckon a little bolt action, or even a martini, in .25acp would be fun.

My wife and I (if we have a girl) decided on the name Twyla. If, that is. Our names are Troy and Skyelar. Twyla Is sort of in between.

Agreed. Put ‘em down if they can’t behave like a civilised person or control urges.

EG73

You guys are so lucky to have all these sorts of animals around. Appreciate them and take required steps to ensure they don’t cause problems (for example, as said above, don’t leave your pets outside at night, stay with them if you take them out etc). Pretty easy stuff to do. People are dumb when it...

Yep, the concrete jungle has some pretty ruthless people in it. I wonder who was filming this? Clearly it was a person (not a security camera) because it followed him and zoomed in and out. They are not much better than the perp by not helping in some way? JBowen Nah that’s security cam footage 100...

It’s not that at all

it’s for where knives aren’t allowed to be carried it still allows people to have a tool they can carry.

EG73

Ok finally found the time to pick it up. Give it a clean and oil tonight. I’ve been sick for the last 3 weeks so no go on shooting any time soon..

EG73

Can’t just have a halfcock notch cut?

EG73

Obviously built on the larger rifle platform to tame down that infamously fierce recoil the .30-30 produces.

EG73

I’d love one but daaaang that price..

He took his to Africa didnt he? Beastly loads with heaps of Oomph taking down anything over there..

EG73

They look good and I haven’t heard anything bad about them. Over here they’re heaps cheaper than marlins, too.

Do wonder if they can be converted to .50 Alaskan..

EG73

5 or 6 .356’s? Now we know why they’re hard to find

What load/bullet for the moose?

EG73

Any of you guys take the plunge for a FA .500 Wyoming Express? I thought that would be cool but a .44 mag kicks plenty for me

They quit laying eggs in the winter so we use light to make the days seem longer to them.

Ah makes sense. Hit autumn here and the temps are dropping so our girls are moulting and slowed right down on eggs too.

EG73

Nice find! Great caliber. Not so much on the butt pad, you are going to feel those 200 grainers go off both in your wallet and on your shoulder! Never understood why the .356/.307 didn't take off, seemed like pretty good cartridges - wonder if they'd do better now with the (semi) resurgence in inte...

This is why feedback can be unreliable - the average satisfied customer which makes the majority won’t leave feedback. Those who have a bad experience are far more likely to.

EG73

Ah don’t you love when customer service bounces you to and fro?

Hopefully it shows up soon.

Saw this in the shop in December 2022. It was still there so today I made it mine. No safety except half cock as far as I can tell, either. So yay! Should be about 1982, going by the stock.

I’m looking at getting a .356 winchester next. Basically next Gen of the 348 but lighter and handier.

You could do a .45-70 based .338 wildcat on a 336, if you’re a fan of the bore diameter.

EG73

There’s one I know of but the bores rooted. Sleeve/reline job?

EG73

Taylor’s sells the Chiapa 1887 for almost $1800. Wow. In all honesty, that shotgun, with an additional rifled choke tube and some kind of rifle sights would suit me far better. Could still play with black powder slug loads. And any 12 gauge 2 3/4” load, light or heavy. https://www.raytrade.com.au/p...
