Warhawk,
Congrats to the new 2nd Louie! I may speak disparagingly of the Air Farce from time to time... while I do have my reason(s), I have great hopes for the new crew...

But all our boys & girls in ALL branches get my prayers daily.

Coyotes can be terminated with satisfactory finality with standard Colt SAA loads from either a (go figure...) a Colt SAA or a Uberti 1873, or a Rossi M92, all chambered in .45 Colt. I'd post pictures... but I don't take pics of coy-dog kills... but have called them in with a wounded rabbit call on ...

Hey! It's a Mdl 71... Winchester didn't make but a finite number of them. In one caliber... my $.02: Send it to Mike Hunter. If you want a 450M, on that receiver... get an '86 that needs some TLC and have it... they ain't a dime a doz, but... they were built in a large number of calibers. I'd sugges...

Tom,
That's gorgeous! Well worth the wait on the pics.

Sorry about the lube question, I was'nt clear. The lube question is about reforming 38-55 to 32-40. Can't find any 32-40 at a price I'm willing to pay. So, how much are willing to pay? But, you'll put time AND money into forming the .38-55s? I don't get it. NOW, Hobie... there IS a $22/500 differen...

If ya want a load with a full case in the .45Colt... use BP. 3F for velocity, 2F for boom and smoke! Be conscientious with your loading and go to something like RedDot or Unique. 700X is another good .45 Colt powder. I used to have a recommendation from Accurate Powders for their 5744 in the .45Colt...

IF I WERE on the Rules Committee, and were answering your question... I'd have to say it falls in that "receiver sight" category... which would lead me to believe it isn't.

Two cool photos... I was never lucky enough to know either of my granddads... and the farm I remember most was my Uncle Roy's... but he never owned a tractor, farmed with horses right up till he retired in '85 at about age 85. I have his sickle bar mower, hay rake, plow and tack. Visits every other ...

...I used to enjoy Saturdays at the 100-yard rifle range, a ton of good 'ol boys would come in with their blackpowder guns and leverguns. Shot my first 86 and 95 Winchesters there, courtesy of gracious owners, as well as scores of rare gems that I could never afford myself. Ain't that the 2nd best ...

Jim, it just might have led to it. I, too remember that incident. I heard today, (range talk), that CCI's parent company bought Federal. I haven't checked out this latest rumor... but, maybe I should.

I try to keep the flow going in one direction only - with guns coming in, not going out! Ditto, I sold a couple of guns once... and took far more than I sold them for to replace them. I have traded a couple... but hey! I got a fine wife, a "new-to-me-couch", a levergun and TWO new holster...

Jack, That is WAY COOL! Yeppers, C45S is made for that lil' jalopy! When you startin' production? Can I be the first order on-line? Just ship me serial #93! :lol: What I'd rather do, frankly, is write to Davidsons or Taylors and see if they couldn't interest Uberti in making 1000 of em up. They cou...

I use a muffin pan. Gives 2# lead muffins and they just fall out of the pan. Also, I always leave a little molten lead in the bottom of my melting pot. It seems to capture the heat better on the next melt than a bunch of ww's do and results in a faster melt. Great minds think alike. Or practical ex...

Well it took me a month to get my new Browning Low Wall in 45 Colt because the check literally got lost in the mail. However I received it and got out in the woods with it yesterday.

I got the idea that their role was to eliminate a rogue pachyderm, and from what I understand, even in most regular hunting cases, the hide, meat, etc. are left for the locals to consume.

I bought one of those for my son's use in CAS about 20 years ago... IIRC the retail price I paid was $229. I wouldn't think of parting with it for that.
