Not having handled one yet, it looks to me like he has not fully loaded the round past the loading gate. So then he just pushes the gate in the round just pops out. If you look at the other rifles the gates appear the same length as the Ruger. But the cartridges is past and a bit under the gate on a...

Thanks guys, thanks Tutt. Yes, I saw it an do appreciate the good wishes.

Joe, I can’t go there! A lifetime supply of ammo?????

Scott, at my age, location and condition, a lifetime supply of ammo wouldn't be much.

Joe

I haven't posted much lately, but I can't let this chance pass by. That is the ugliest piece of pelosi out there and I wouldn't own one or shoot one if it was offered to me for free with a lifetime supply of ammo. There is nothing wrong with walnut and steel lever guns, just take care of of them. Joe

I'm not sure if it is, but if the rear sight is a Marbles brand sight you can get the screw from them.

I just watched the best police chase ever on you-tube. Circa 1988, Ohio black and whites in pursuit of what looked like a big Lincoln Town Car. When they got him they all jumped out and drew their ..... revolvers :D and as you watch the bad guys get tossed (not too gently either) into the police car...

Wow! A cowboy sniper rifle!

Rooster Cogburn couda used that when he went after Lucky Ned Pepper.

I believe it was the UMC purple box ammo loaded with 40 grs of black powder.

Either Japan or China I'd bet.

Load One, Skip One, Load 4; pull the hammer back and lower it on the empty chamber. That mantra was first heard by my teenage ears way back a couple of millennia ago in a gun shop called "The Gun Room" formerly Wades Gun Shop down on McDowell road somewhere near 18th ST, right next to the ...

I use a Redding #3 powder measure and Unique gives it fits. However, it has the large rifle charge drum in it and I've been told that is the problem.
If and when I escape this part of the world and can shoot again, I plan on getting the pistol size drum and trying that. Should be interesting.

Paco,

Happy Birthday, may you enjoy many more.

Take care.

The looks of that Henry revolver reminds me of the extinct pot metal and plastic German RG's. That price is way out of line.

If I had seern that powder I would have bought it.

When I moved to IN I stopped at a gun shop and they had a 3# keg of Hercules 2400 for around $60.00, Around half what it was going for then. It came home with me.

As long as it's good, it don't matter how old it is.

One step forward, three steps back.

Had a DR apt Thursday, went out, got in the van, .... nothing, battery totally dead. Reschedule appointment. These Chrysler vans have so much electronics on them I don't know what to turn off . Way too complex for me.

Joe

Got the box with my soldering gun and wire strippers out and got to work yesterday. Assembled the new cord. The single round iron wont work, but the double square one does. Now to get some milk to mix the batter and make me some waffles.

I like French toast too, but waffles first.

Many who do started doing it to save money or produce hard to find ammo for unpopular or obsolete calibers. That was me nearly 50 years ago. Try finding anything other than R-P or W-W .45 colt ammo back then. Nope, buy ammo shoot it and reload the cases, that was the only choice to those of use tha...

I clean any build up off every time I clean the cylinder. As for the stain, I just ignore it.

Jim, What does a .457" round ball weigh? Many summers ago I bought a mil-surp rifle. The instruction book said to use window cleaner with ammonia to clean the bore if using corrosive primed ammo. Well, it worked, and I had no bad effects from rust at all. So being lazy and hating using hot soap...

I had a flat band 94 wayyyyyyyyyyyyy back when I was a teenager, it was a nice carbine and shot well. Kinda wish I still had it. My current 1950 vintage 94 has a defective chamber :( and splits most of the cases shot in it. It looks almost brand new and I'm sure that's why. I got it for so inexpensi...

I've heard the phrase: "Gun Porn" before, and if any guns demonstrates that, those do.
I like engraved guns, but those are totally without merit and have no socially redeeming value whatsoever. They can them.

Wednesday, 2-8-23, two months to the day after she suffered the stroke G. Elaine Miller went to be with the Lord. She died around 7:00 PM after being worked on by nurses at the home and paramedics.

More prayers needed. 11:44 AM This morning Lutheran Rehab transferred Genie to Englewood Health and Rehab. When she got there she was leaning forward and unresponsive. They tried to wake her but had little success. They told me they were sending her back to Lutheran ER. I was scared before, now I,m ...

Well the news today about Gene isn't good. Her progress isn't as good as they want it to be. They are saying she is only doing maybe 20% of the work and the therapists are doing the rest. I think they are giving up too soon. So now they are talking about putting her into a nursing rehab facility or ...

Just talked to the nurse at the rehab hospital. They are sending her back to the hospital for another CT Scan of the head. It seems that the reason we couldn't wake her while we were there yesterday has something to do with her head. Now I am worried (scared) again. I hope this isn't a severe setbac...

Well now I do have some honest good news. Genie has been transferred to the rehab wing.
She will get three hours of rehab per day. Occupational, speech and taking care of herself.

I'll be going to see her tomorrow before the predicted storms hit.

Prayers are still appreciated.

Joe

Well, one step forward, two steps backwards.
This morning she's going to rehab ... this afternoon she needs another chest x-ray and a cat scan, rehab maybe tomorrow. Sigh.

I'm beginning to wonder if the docs and I are talking about the same person.

Good news from the hospital just now, 11:13 am. Gene's covid tests have come back negative, and she has improved to the point they are transferring her to the rehab hospital ( part of the same hospital she's in) at 2:30 this afternoon. This means her improvement is very good. Thank You Lord and than...
