It shoots a .577/.450 round. Below is a pic I lifted off the net... http://auction-e.com/image/19/989/9740.jpg It is a 32 inch barrel and 50 inch overall length. There are a bunch of folks that do shoot them and I have no doubt this guy would do a good job. I could find a few rounds I would put a fe...

A couple of months ago I picked up an untouched Martini-Henry Gahandra rifle. I finally got around to cleaning her up... Not to shabby! http://i37.photobucket.com/albums/e72/jfg_4/misc/black%20powder/gunx/IMAG0081.jpg http://i37.photobucket.com/albums/e72/jfg_4/misc/black%20powder/gunx/IMAG0082.jpg ...

Congats!! Nice lookin Rossi. I really like my 44 Mag Rossi. I did a quick search on Gunbroker - here's a neat Uberti 44-40 that would make a good companion to that rifle: http://www.gunbroker.com/Auction/ViewItem.aspx?Item=234749549 http://pics.gunbroker.com/GB/234749000/234749549/pix511106359.jpg ...

Nice looking gun. If you're so inclined, that wood might finish up really well, too. Kinematics Research (Able Ammo?) is (or maybe was) an ammunition manufacturing company in Tennessee, I think. I beleive that their plant was either destroyed or heavily damaged in an explosion last winter. :? Are y...

Don't sell the short on durability. A well made panama is fairly rugged. I have beat the heck out of mine. Roll em up, shove em in a suit case, head to the islands and bring it out and party!

Not bad, I like the looks of it. I've never heard of Kinematics Research ammo. Where is it made, by who if it says and what brass did they use? Just curious. Joe I hadn't heard of the either. The guy that traded in the gun provided the ammo also. It WAS made in Tennesse but looks like the factory w...

Picked up a Rossi today... Essentially their take on a 92. Chambered in 44-40. It is a used one I found locally along with some ammo. It is an earlier model so there is no thumb safety!

Now I need to get a wheel gun to go with it!

I will second that! I got one from them several years ago and it has held up well.

Outstanding story on the pistol! Thanks.

I think I am going to be on the lookout for a 44-40 pistol/rifle.

I have been debating my next purchase of a lever gun. I have been thinking of a .45lc or 32-20. That led me to think about wheel guns as well. Then I had a thought... What caliber did the Lone Ranger tote? I am pretty sure it was a .45lc but I am not 100%. been a longtime since I have seen Clayton M...

Never knew about the ICBM launches out of the back of a C-5!

Here is a YouTube of it...

I will give it a try. I emailed pics and faxed a tracing to them with the pertinent facts and they said they didn't have anything

.44 Mag = 4 rounds in the magazine; someone advertised 9-round ones on the internet that I think were composite tops with Desert Eagle magazine bodies in them, but I've never actually seen them. The .17 HMR and .22 WMR both hold 9 rounds, with a 20 or 25 round extended aftermarket one available. Th...

Just picked up a Ruger 96.




Kind of a variation on the first rifle I ever shot (a Ruger .44 Carbine).

Enjoy!

http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d197/sass93/Smilies/howdy.gif and Welcome to THE Forum. This buttplate ain't even close: http://www.dixiegunworks.com/images/AP8305.JPG It's for a "rifle configuration" and your Bi-Centennial mdl needs an early styled "carbine" buttplate. My Bi-...

One more - not as clear pic




Yup - need to get a .22 and a 32-30

how about one like this? http://www.dixiegunworks.com/product_info.php?cPath=22_95_418_424&products_id=5678 and welcome. :wink: oooooooo... that one even looks like it would color match. I would still need to do some fitting because it does not seem to have the same contour on the top. http://i...

Well, if you're desparate for at least a temporary solution, or want something you could perhaps use as a template to make one yourself (the coolest kind), I don't know whether it would do for a Winnie 94, but... ...THIS is the one I think I had to use as a temporary measure for getting a petite, r...

I think my first knife was my official Cub Scout knife. I got that back in late 70's. I ran across it about 10 years ago... unfortunatly I think I put it some place safe... no telling where that is!!!!

Welcome to the forum. That's strange that almost everything else is there for the Bicentennial, but the buttplate. What happened? I have no idea. The gun shop had it on consignment from a widow. Everything else was there. There were also a couple of indentations in the Styrofoam that would have bee...

Then I have these guys - Marlin Model 94 .44Mag, Marlin 45/70 and Winchester 94 That bottom one's the funniest Winchester I've ever seen... :wink: ...but I like the shortened 1894. Was it a custom job? Anyway - welcome to the forum.. 8) DOH!! Busted... um.. yeah... I meant to do that to see if anyo...

Welcome to the fire.. :D What leverguns do you have? Well - this is the latest (need a butt plate for it if anyone has any leads!!! http://i37.photobucket.com/albums/e72/jfg_4/IMG_20110420_135752.jpg http://i37.photobucket.com/albums/e72/jfg_4/IMG_20110420_135824.jpg http://i37.photobucket.com/albu...
