At least the action and sear to trigger engagement is direct and straight forward. Bring your own trigger gauge, bring parts from the 1889 in case you need them, wet stone with good sharp 90* angle, small files, maybe some 242 Loc-Tite, super glue, other favorite quick dry epoxy......... Be confiden...

Harry , Thanks for the correction. I should of woke up and not run off before posting that. Bruce , Thanks for that and then I stumbled onto this website with a old B&W photo from a landing craft showing smoke along the beach head, see it here: http://www.politico.com/magazine/story/2014/06/the-...

To much salt for me.

I didn't know that about the Destroyers. With 9,000+ casualties on the beach and in the water. An average man has 6 gallons of blood. At 4 gallons x 9,000 = 36,0000 gallons. No wonder the water was red for along time afterwards. What a horror our soldiers had to see, smell, hear, and witness. For co...

Here's to Howard Cox of Massachusetts for D-day 1944.
Lest we forget.

America is exceptional, but it is waning.
The democrats & rinos are taking U.S. down to 2nd and 3rd World countries status.

What? Huh??

^^ I don't care for the tent grommets in his ears. ^^

Centennial

How come they didn't use smoke to block/obscure the vision of the machine gunners so they couldn't concentrate fire on the LC doors when they dropped??

Centennial

Is it your post of Wed Jun 04, 2014 11:06 am, page 2 ??

Looks good to me too.

To my friend Wm. D. Raftery who went up those cliffs.
You are not forgotten.

"A well regulated militia, being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms shall not be infringed." That is one of the supreme laws of this land. We're the only country on the planet that has it and darn lucky to have it. Did those two violate...

Centennial

This whole thing was hashed out in 1789 for the Bill of Rights 2nd Amendment. They couldn't come to a consensus then either. So they kept it simple. KISS; That is what we should be doing. If you wait for the antis, lefties, control freaks, and compromisers to come around it will never happen, and yo...

There was a time when multi -barreled arms, Colt Walkers & Patterson, Henry's and Winchester 73's, then the god awful 7mm & 30 US smokeless rounds that killed so quickly without a sign of where they came from, they were all at sometime the EBR's of their day. Now it's our official US service...

See how divided our camp is.
The lefties camp is not divided, and they are on a rolling offensive making inroads redefining, reining-in, infringing, and removing rights our parents & grandparents had..

Centennial

So even if this is not mine or your cup of tea, you'll are saying we should go by something else other then the supreme law of the land being our US Constitution's Bill of Rights?? We should distance ourselves from it and go with some contrary, ambiguous, and abstract not exactly written down idea o...

I have to say I agree with the NRA. You or I, sitting in a restaurant and observe a couple guys walk in with rifles slung, would probably look them over and quickly realize they are exercising their rights and are of no threat to anyone. To the general public, especially those that don't take a pos...

What exactly is Texas law??

"Summary:
Texas is not a traditional open carry state. They also do not allow open carry, or even printing, by those who have a concealed carry permit."...........

Centennial

They don't know how to keep the train on the tracks. Disappoints me too. What part of "...the right to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed" , don't they understand?? The writer knew he/she was on bad ground because they didn't sign the article. http://www.nraila.org/news-issues/artic...

There is really no reason to linger on reservations. Make sure you have plenty of fuel to get elsewhere. Don't let your firearms be seen. In AZ, NM, they can be out of sight. AZ is Constitutional Carry. NM is CCW or open carry. Nev is CCW or open carry. Find a chart online of the current laws. Reser...

Thanks for this reminder of Thanks For The Memories. Here's to Bob Hope.

Oh good so you did get to shoot it some.

Centennial

That is neat! I wonder how she shoots!

Centennial

I have a Uberti 1873 Winchester copy of the saddle ring carbine that I'm very satisfied with. Mines a 44 special. It is a tack driver and the rear ladder sight, although not best made sights or the easiest to use, it is regulated to 200 grain bullets at 1200 FPS MV. That is consistent with the origi...

Thanks Nate Kiowa Jones. Here's this link to the new 1860 Henry copy, made in the USA, $2300 msrp, like you said. www.henryrifles.com/rifles/the-henry-original/ It's almost a custom rifle. It seems our money doesn't go as far as it use to, so we just have to make more. Have you ever seen one of the ...

Centennial

That looks like a good rear sight. A spring loaded detent ball would be nice too, so you could count the clicks..
I never seen the Rossi's '92 with the safety so I don't know how it attaches.

If the NY guy shoots wolves he's probably OK. If he don't bellyache about county P&Z and shoots wolves/coyotes/rattlers with a lever gun he's better then OK.

Centennial

I wonder what the differences/interchangeable parts are between the original , the Italian or Japanese copies ? The new Uberti '73 in 44 magnum released about 3 years ago also has a blued receiver like the new Japchester. No color case receivers. 3 plus years and no one has one to report. Why can a...

Hodgdon discontinued importing it , despite all our protests, they went with "their stockholders".
It's made in Canada by Rockwell (?)

Centennial

Those are good ones. Then came the Chinese....

I have been using Jet A, it's a lot less expensive then store bought kerosene and not as smelly. Most small airports will sell it you by the gallon, just bring a proper fuel can.

Centennial

Yes I think so.
But almost all the 19th century guns invented by American firearms inventors, especially lever actions, are only made by our former enemies, the WWII AXIS Power countries.

I meant if I were just starting out.
I have an original converted to a short rifle 45 Colt, still have my 1st 1873 rifle 44WCF, 38WCF, and a Uberti 73 SRC 44 Special which is a dream to shoot.

Centennial

I'd be looking at the Uberti Winchester '73 in 44 magnum. Probably 2nd in popularity to the 357 magnum, but the most versatile with lots of component availability. Heavy straight walled case, Carbide Dies, molds, bullets everywhere, takes all kinds of powders.

My Grandfather was in that war. I think in the NY 78th Lightning Division. Once he told me of a big fight that started around 2 or 3 AM. I think that it was part of the Argonne Offensive October 1918. Not sure of the dates or names. All his medals and records were stolen or lost over the years. I kn...

With my corrected vision I have 20/16 eyes. At 200 yards under field conditions, I cannot confidently see enough of a deer through the sights to place my shot in the heart. I shot one buck at 170 yards with iron sights off cross sticks, and after a long 4 hour wait for him to come in from 300+. That...

I got one the other day with my 22LR. Tang sights. Federal 500's ammo. I set to 100 yards , it took me 8 shots to finally hit him. he was on my trailer full of stock panels and when he moved to standing on the winch I could see him better and hit him in the paunch. So a bit low and it may have a bit...

I reload for both and have 1873 Winchesters in both (the 45 Colt is converted). Are you already reloading for either or both? 44-40 has very thin brass, almost foil like at the mouth. It's a tapered case so that strikes out Carbide Dies. The 44-40 chamber & throat limit bullet diameter, weight, ...

If the targets are to dark/shaded I use a bigger peep hole. Lets in more light. The rainbow is at least 1/2 of the fun.

I use to have about 10 car tires stacked horizontally on a stand, the sidewalls were screwed together with dry-wall screws. Using 2 parallel 1" pipes for rails to set them on. Small tire at both ends, but you can experiment. Shoot with the muzzle inside the tire tunnel. Set it so it could be us...

Sixgun, I understand and appreciate your point also. BTW, my old friend really does have one of those 22 guns made.

I would do a chamber cast. I keep a chunk of Cerrosafe for just such things. Everyone needs to measure something once in awhile. It melts quickly at about 160 F. I do it when my wife is not around on the Kitchen stove. I've done it when she is around but it's not as easy.

Centennial

My friend has one of those. He brought it over and I had it in my hands. I don't remember the serial number range.
