I've never been banned from GB but I don't think I've ever posted.

How GB runs that site is exactly what we try not to do. I hope we get the site back soon.

Found My Now Gone 1893's Serial Number, anyone here own

it? 226073... That was a wonderful if odd gun. 26" octagon cut to 19-and-some inches, soldered on front sight, factory rear, replaced butt stock. Chambered for the .38-55, it came with a Lyman #2 for the 1892 installed and left without it. I replaced the magazine spring and butt stock but other...

As noted it was legal but a student could be expelled or faculty fired. The bill would have prohibited such actions against LEGAL carriers.

No, it didn't work. I've heard a rumor that it was a full-auto gun as well. We don't know now but we will soon.

PTSD is what the friend will have from his stint in Kalifornia. Rather clever! :lol: I sometimes felt that way after my time in CA. I preferred my nearly 5 years in Korea to 2½ years in 2 tours in CA.

Once again, my Army buddies started calling me Hobie due to an unfortunate incident with a certain 16 foot sailing craft and a certain officer. I use either "Hobie" or "TheRealHobie" everywhere on the net.

Ji,

I'd try IMR4064 before I'd use the WW748. I've never used WW748 sans magnum primers (I use all CCI) with any satisfaction. The magnum primers are not used with 4064.

Re: 25-35 - what would YOU consider to be the "ultimate

If you were to have a custom levergun built in 25-35 built, what would you have done and by whom? This is an exercise in fantasy, so no need to say "I can't afford it." Shucks, I can't either but it's fun to think about anyway. Some vague thoughts have gathered themselves in my mind over ...
