how much is it bringing per box when you find it ?

i liked when the assistant director, who admits he said the gun ' was cold' but didnt check it, said that he thought the armorer had " opened the hatch and rotated the drum " to make sure the gun was empty.

and now i know i have been using the wrong terminology all these years !!

I Recently picked what would have to be the rarest levergun in my collection so far, one of only 20 made. The Naughton Fieldman, .22 lever action made in Warrandyte, Victoria, Australia in the 1960's. I bought it of one of the apprentices who helped make it, this one is a prototype made from their ...

the throats are often made to minimum SAAMI specs. have seen this before. with a throating / finishing reamer you can do this job by hand: remove a little, try your cartridges, check with a headspace gauge , do a little more, etc and you will shortly have the problem solved. it was fairly common whe...

Is the size similar to the old Colt .22 SAA revolvers they made? I'd be interested in one if they aren't too small for my big meat hooks! about the same size as the colt 22s and viritually identical size to the ruger single six. I'll probably keep looking for a full sized SAA in .22LR, as my hands ...

my 1873 and 1866 muskets are both 44/40

ohhh, i just re read the post and realize that IS the uberti repro

uberti also makes a repro of the 1866 " yellowboy" musket. and .... well, i HAD to get it to complete the set.

wow that looks new.

i have a nice original winchester 73 musket with bayonet, but nothing like that condition. i also have the uberti reproduction musket and bayonet, which does look like that.

i dont know why i have to have these things, but... i do.

Cable, nice rifle. Watching the guy shooting the pistols, it seems like there is an extra step compared to a "regular" flintlock. is the payoff in the lock time? accuracy? lock time mostly, but the wheelock was in use before the typical flintlock, and was really competing with the match l...
