I recently saw a No.4 Lee Enfield in 38-55 in a gun shop. It was still in its original wood and had some very minor owner made mods to the magazine.

Bruce Scott

Hey Bruce; I have learned, through personal experience, that the bore size is not the limiting factor. The size of the chamber/throat area is where the critical point is. If I had a .32-40, or .32 Winchester Special, I would perchase a custom Lee push through sizing die in .321" I have used th...

Bruce Scott

Bruce, if that rifle is still in the planning stage, why not use an 8mm barrel? I did on my Ruger #1 .32-40 and it is a great shooter with cast bullets from my NEI mold. I size .323 and breech seat for groups well under .500 when I am doing "my part" as they say. :wink: I should have thou...

Bruce Scott

Thanks for the replies. The idea was prompted by the limited choice in 32-40 bullets. They seem to be pretty much limited to 170Gr FPs.

I will be using a single shot with a new Montana Rifleman barrel.

When it happened here, the licenced guns that had become illegal were turned in. It was either that or prosecution. The pain was somewhat eased as these were 'bought back'. An amnesty was also in place for unregistered/unlicenced guns of all types. Criminal elements were foremost in taking advantage...

Has anyone tried them? Weight / make / results?

Hornady do 8mm (.323 dia) in 125Gr SP , 150Gr SP, 170Gr RN and 195Gr SP

Bruce Scott

I didn't know that they came pre-drilled.

There is some info that may be useful: http://www.stevesgunz.com/SightSG.htm

The appropriate Marbles tang sight is # 579-009-807 @ $125 from Brownells.

Great result!! That's an amazing piece of wood in the forend.

I have heard of Kukui Nut Oil being used as a skin lotion but not as a timber finish.

Bruce Scott

Yeah, they (Uberti) make the carbine in 19". I can't check on the Short Rifles. I'm in the midst of a move and my Madis is still in a box.........somewhere - :? I had a Short Rifle in .357 Mag but got a hang up about the non-original chambering and the gun not being a real Winchester..............

Bruce Scott

I think too much can be made of the height of XS sights. The original front sight height on my 94 Legacy was .585". The XS replacement is .600", an increase in height of .015" or 0.38 mm. I have not measured the height difference at the receiver end but there's far less added bulk in ...

Bruce Scott

have been wondering the same thing. I enjoy his posts.

Really puzzles me why they did not.

Don,

Uberti's 1873 Short Rifle comes with a 20" barrel.

In favour of going for a specific breed is that their temperament and trainabilty is more predictable as are their grooming, exercise and food requirements.

The Baikal doubles made it into the UK, Canada and Australia - odd that there is a hitch in the US.

How difficult would it be to bring one across the border from Canada?

Howdy Bill, Thanks for that. I have contacted the seller of the $950 gun and as you say it comes with dies, brass, bullets and some ammo. So it's not a bad deal, particularly if he will negotiate.

I have spotted one going for AU$750 (US$670). Looks like a good price to me given that I paid AU$1100 for a 94 Legacy a couple of years ago. The .38-55 chambering is difficult to come by here so I'm inclined to grab it - as a shooter. Any thoughts? Does anyone know what the receivers and nose-caps w...

Scott,

This looks like a neat setup. A threaded aperture is available for the XS that will take Williams inserts or a Merit adjustable aperture.

It may be better to try and find a studded forend nose-cap (probably difficult) or d&t the existing nose-cap for a stud (easier).
