Stop equivocating. At your age buy the real Colt you really want and SHOOT IT. If you got the bucks to be a snowbird just do it. Thank me later, I know you will. Can't be more than a couple grand. ^^^^^^^^ What OS said. I'm pushing the bottom side of 70 and have wanted a real Colt SAA since I saw m...

AJ,

Maybe if you'd quit shooting black powder it would stay cleaner ....

I sold Terry several of my cylinder bags and he loved them. We had a couple of phone conversations that made me really want to visit him. Sadly that will not happen now.

Boge did a great job on that video.

That's great! Love it - another great Pitchy project! I think you should start production and give those away- just to drive all these liberal nitwits extra crazy. OH MY !

Uberti's and other Colt sized .45s are not week or prone to failure. That revolver in the first post was destroyed by faulty ammo. Look close and you'll see just how clean the burn marks are, no soot, no kernels of powder, no residue of any kind really. That was a major overload. It's not a what pow...

I see this a lot on U-Tube; conversation ------ then a pause as if they loose their train of thought, then: "and yeah", then they continue talking. It's almost as bad as " you know".

Double or more powder charge. Last time I saw a .45 Colt cylinder blown like that the cause was a double charge of Bullseye.
Gun owner needs to contact the ammo maker first then Cimmarron.

Joe

J Miller

Another gimmick. Lever lock is designed for 1873 Uberti or 1866 Uberti rifles to prevent unintentional opening of action before trigger is pulled. Lever Lock prevents a live round from being ejected and greatly diminishes chances of an out of battery discharge. How does one eject a live round to cle...

That 100 YO rifle is probably in better condition than we are.

Haven't fired mine in years, wish I had a homestead where I could shoot.

Joe

M.M. Wright,

That may have been my post about the 45-90-300 velocities, I did ask sometime ago. Thanks for the chronographing.

Question; is that amount of variation normal? I have no experience loading large black powder rounds.

Joe

He makes that 94 look tiny. Must be from Texas.
Unfortunately I don't recognize him.

My shooting friend once brought over several long pieces of what we thought might be Linotype but we were not sure. The stuff came in about 3' x 3" rods and if dropped on concrete it rang like a bell. It took us a long time to cut it into melting pot sized chunks. Made really purty and shiny bu...

JimT, I'm jealous ... you actually spoke to Elmer Keith? Arrrrghhhhhh...... Your load, well the bullet over a proper charge of Win 296(?) might be a good rifle load.

Interesting to see the balloon-head case in the exploded cylinder he was using with his hot loads, AND to hear that he was using rifle caliber bullets (0.458") in a revolver designed around 0.454" bullets... :shock: As an aide, "Hell, I was There...!" is one of the best books I'...

J Miller

The 32 special came about due to complaints about the .30-30 being unsuitable for reloading with black powder. And it's more powerful than the .32-40. As I recall the mdl 94 was chambered in (in order): .32WCF & .38-55, .30-30, 32 Winchster Special, .25-35, .44 Magnum, The 94BB in: .375 Winches...

J Miller

Don't recall the story, but ... wouldn't the 35-3030 be very similar to the 38-55 in size and performance? They do share the same basic case.

Joe

J Miller

Jason,

That new design looks like it might be a spring loaded cyl stop. Perhaps a thorough cleaning might cure the problem.

Joe

J Miller

I do believe there should be a little cylinder stop stud at the bottom rear corner of the cylinder window that stops the rearward movement of the cylinder.
Here is a pic of my 25-5 you an see it there.

I finally picked up another 30/30 this week I was wondering, besides the difference in weight, if there is an advantage between the 150 or 170 grain bullet ? A question for the ages...………….. :mrgreen: . Been shooting the 30 W.C.F. (30-30) since sometime around 1966 ish and this was a topic of discu...

J Miller

"Managed Recoil"? 125gr bullets at around 2175 fps? Why? The 30-30 doesn't have any recoil to speak of anyway.

Joe

J Miller

I have shot most all the bullet weights from the 30-30s but my all time favorite is the 150 gr Speer Hot Core over 34.5 grs of Win 748. It has been an accurate load from every one of my 20 and 16" barreled guns. Each gun is an individual but I doubt there will be much difference from a 16"...

I just learned that early '71's had a bolt peep and see notes on adding them to various 92's. Is is possible to add one to a 94? Can the bolt be drilled and tapped ? Would a gunsmith attempt it?

My guestimate would be 70's to 80's. Looks like a good find.

Yep, I have two Winchester Trappers. My 1980 30-30 and my 1985 .45 Colt.
They are two I will never voluntarily part with.

That would make a dandy traveling gun. Backpack size as well. Good find.

Trooper joe,

The rebounding hammer action trigger pull can be improved with some judicious polishing of the those parts in the lower tang that move against each other.
There are many threads here where we have discussed this. Do a search and I'm sure you'll find at least some of them.

Joe

Thanks guys.

Blaine,

We don't smoke, we don't frequent places where people do smoke, and I won't throw away money on worm dirt.

I'm not a tree hugger and there have been no birds around eating the worms this year.

We had a jug of Seven spray and they got hosed.

As Doc has pointed out, poisons have secondary consequences. Poisoning insects may kill birds, which allows more insects to proliferate There are alternative means of "biological control". Find an overflowing outside ashtray and round up all the butts you can find...soak them in a pint wa...

Since there seems to be no birds this year looks like we'll have to.

Birds will eat them, but not if you spray them. Then the birds get sick and you lose your natural control that keeps them in check. We usually clip the easy to reach ones and toss them to the chickens, but since we quit spraying the birds take care of them so we hardly see any. The other fun thing ...

Thanks for the info. We have some Seven spray, would that work? So far only one bush is infested, and this is the first time this has happened in the 4 years we've been here.
Icky bugs.

I think your ejector is bent and binding. Here is a pic of the bolt from my 94 AE .45 Colt, it might not appear to be perfectly straight, but it's straighter than the one on your bolt.

Pitchy,

That's a sound from the past. Looks like it cuts really nice. You painted yours the same green ours was.

Joe

J Miller

Now that is my kind of rifle. Looks like schyt but works great. You can't hurt it, that's for sure.

The original stock and forearm kinda look like the mdl 64 version, but I like the after better.

I'd almost bet that it spent time in a wet saddle scabbard by the looks of the pitting.

Joe

J Miller

Hmmmm, there's two of them I'd love to have:
1st pic;
The Enfield trainer and the Uberti 66.

You got so many you'd never miss those two.

Seriously, that is a nice collection. You got more .22 rifles now than I've owned in my entire life.

Joe

We used to have one of those. It was a Montgomery Wards brand with rubber tires. But it was so old it had the oil cups with spring loaded covers on each roller bearing. We cleaned it up, adjusted the blade, replaced the old worn out rubber tires and used it for years and years. I don't know what hap...
