Re: Winchester 92 trapper takedown (Japanese)?
I've had one (in .357 Mag.) for a couple of years, and although I don't shoot it much, I find it to be a great, high quality, little gun. Fit and finish, and especially the wood, is outstanding. I haven't tried shooting it beyond 50 yards, but it does quite well up to that distance. The takedown asp...

Re: really off off topic question for musicians
Naphtha (lighter fluid) is absolutely your best bet for cleaning the surface; this, from a guy who builds guitars and collects 5+ figure (not finger) guitars.

Re: New acquisitions but not mine !
Thanks, guys! Much appreciated. I should take it out someday and shoot it; in fact, I should try and do that with my son, if we get the chance...just as my dad did with me probably 50 years ago. Frank I used to shoot targets made for 50 ft distance. As I reflected back on those days, all ammunition...

Re: New acquisitions but not mine !
I inherited this beautiful 1938 Model 52 from my dad decades ago, and haven't even shot it. I've sold off several guns I got from him to fund purchases of guns that I do shoot, but never had the heart to part with this one. https://www.mylespaul.com/media/bh4a5139_1400.99201/full?d=1457748355 https:...

Re: Starline 38-55 brass in stock at Midway.
It's quite a bit cheaper if you buy directly from Starline, which is where I normally get it from. And yes, they have it in stock right now as well, with a minimum order of 250: https://www.starlinebrass.com/38-55-brass-2080

I would make sure it is a dummy round. Most likely is but...They are fired electrically, so the right static discharge could set it off.

Re: Gun I'd like to start saving up for....
This "little" shell that I found in my dad's belongings after he passed away appears to be very similar to the one posted in the OP. It measures right around 30mm. I've been wondering exactly what it was...so can someone here enlighten me as to what caliber it is, and what it would be fire...

Thanks so much for all the great info, guys! And Flint, that Hawk Bullet recommendation looks great. I'll definitely give them a try.

Re: Winchester 32 special ammo
I have a pile of rifles chambered in 32WS. I really like the cartridge a lot. As for brass......yes, you can use 30-30. However, if you have 30-30 chambered rifles also, it can be an issue. I mounted a campaign with Star Line to produce brass with a 32WS headstamp. They FINALLY did. While I'm not s...

Re: Winchester 32 special ammo
I've been loading for the 32WS for about 30 years and have killed lots of deer and a few bear with it. Been loading for the 38-55 for the past 10 years. I cast for both calibers and use 30-30 cases resized for both. I don't bother to pickup my casings as I have so many extra 30-30, no need to recyc...

Re: Got bullets?
I shoot Oregon Trail's Lasercast bullets in my 32-20 Marlin, 115 grain flat nose works great on metallic silhouette animals. Ran out a few days ago and was worried about supply but went to their website and was able to order up a thousand, which will last me a while. With shipping, a little over 10...

Howdy and Welcome to THE forum to you both! I don't shoot either 32WS or the .38-55 so can't be of any help... other'n to say, reloading is really the way to go... another whole hobby. It really opens up a LOT of options for ammo choices! Thanks, Griff! I actually just bought some reloading equipme...

Re: Winchester 32 special ammo
I just joined the forum, and I believe this may be my first post here. The main reason I joined was because I also just picked up a Model 94, made in 1921...a saddle ring carbine, in 32 Win Special. It's my first old Winchester, having bought a few new ones as well recently. I've also been on the hu...
