Nice, especially the wood on that 86. Will you be shooting them? They look like they need to be taken out and used.. :mrgreen: The shotgun and 1892 for sure. There was a fair amount of residue in the barrel of the shotgun so I know it had regular use. I am pretty sure that the 1892 has not been fir...

. The rifle you're referring to as a Model 1895 is a Hi-Grade Model 1886/86, made by Miroku for Winchester. That rifle has a tube magazine with the loading gate in the RH side of the receiver; the Model 1895 has a vertical magazine that looks like a readily-detachable mag, but isn't. . Thanks... I ...

On the 1896 there is a spot where it looks like tape was used to hold the saddle ring (or protect the engraving.) unfortunately it appears to have etched into the finish. Any suggestions on how to clean it? I hit it with oil and a rag and that is about it. http://i37.photobucket.com/albums/e72/jfg_4...

It's a long story but my wife's dad died shortly before we were married. The estate pretty much went to her step mom and there is some history there. After nine years we were able to purchase some things from the estate. The wife really wanted things that would have meant something to her dad and wo...

I guess with a limited edition run of 20,000 I will shoot it

I'll get some better pictures but she is in the lower right with the coin in the stock.

What is the general opinion on shooting anniversary editions? I have a Winchester 1894 1976 bicentennial edition. It is an unfired specimen that I picked up for about the same price as a normal 1894. I would hate to be the one to depreciate this thing- but I kind of would like to shoot it. What say ...

jfg_4

I just wanted to give another round of thanks to everyone in this thread! Thank you!

jfg_4

Thanks! Bore looks pretty good but someone else suggested giving the barrel a good cleaning. I did not notice any pitting though.

I need to replace the screw in the end cap and I will take her to the range towards the end of the week!

jfg_4

Here is under the hand guard. There is nothing on the top of the barrel near the reciever other than caliber. The food is tight and fits well. http://i37.photobucket.com/albums/e72/jfg_4/image_zpsmrx0rocc_1_zpsd24cjzzy.jpg After looking at this closer it may be a refinish or a really well preserved ...

jfg_4

I really have no history behind the gun. My wife dad was a collector and a cowboy action shooter. He died shortly before we were married (almost ten years ago). The executer had the collection appraised and the appraiser said it was refinished. It is .44wcf. It is absolutely beautiful and has a bett...

jfg_4

Thanks! I will probably put a few rounds down range. I have a couple of Brazilian 1892's in 44-40 that I love. The action on the Winchester is slick as butter. The bore is decent - rifling is there but not super deep. I need to get a better bore scope to look closer. The magazine tube has a bit of p...

jfg_4

Greetings all. I picked up an 1892 in .44 wcf from my wife's fathers estate. It is in great shape (refinished) but I am a bit confused by the markings. The serial number is 238xx but it is on the bottom of the receiver. It has probably been refinished as everything looks new from the factory. Is thi...

Got one more update - took a chance on a ebay holster. I was not expecting much - but not knowing what a quality holster would look like - I was pleasantly surprised.

jfg_4

Thanks everybody - problem solved.

The die had some debris in there causing it to not function properly. I really had to hammer to get the thing apart.

Cleaned it up real well and put her back together. Woohoo - just finished loading 100rnds.

jfg_4

BTW - this was using new brass (Winchester or it might be Remington) and Hunters Supply 405gr FP bullets (.459)

jfg_4

Howdy all, I am a newb to reloading. I bought a Lee progressive press from a buddy that was setup for .45ACP and loaded up 100rnds with out many issues. Now I am moving on to 45-70. The progressive press is cool - but I picked up a single stage press to hopefully learn more of the basics. I picked u...

jfg_4

No thanks... I'll take a nuclear recoiless rifle!

jfg_4

I waited a month or so for my email

then I learned to read

and thought to myself "I am a dumb@ss".

jfg_4

jfg_4, what kind of saddle is that? I'm not familiar with it. It looks a cross between a western saddle and one from Oz. It is an Australian saddle. Picked it up used at a tack shop in Mississippi in '93 or so. ETA... Make that a VERY DIRTY saddle as well. Ill be glad when fall gets here... I will ...

jfg_4

Wow!!! I took the Beretta 44-40 SAA out today and what a trip! It was dead on at the 10 yard mark (indoor range). Using Black Hills ammo. A fair amount of flash from the barrel and powder came out as well. Looked impressive anyway. Went through 50 rnds and had a big ol grin on my face. It actually f...

jfg_4

Thanks all... that was what I was thinking... had a couple of gun store fellas try to tell me different. I got my '92 replica and a SAA in 44-40. I really want a mares leg in 44-40 but those are $$$$

jfg_4

When were the lever guns offered in .45lc? Wasn't the round offered in 1873? Were the '73s ever offered in .45? How about the 92s?

Good looking combo, how about a shot of the saddle too. The saddle needs some big time cleaning. I am ashamed to say that it has been down in the barn for 15 years collecting dust (horses were sold long ago). I finally got it out and figured I will polish it up let the kid play on it. I dont see an...

jfg_4

I wil post up a report when I take it out (hopefully this week). Cool thing about oddball cartridges is that the shops that have them in stock are glad to get rid of them!! This is the second free box I have gotten!

J

jfg_4

Oh yeah... he also threw in a box of cartridges!

jfg_4

I got a lil buddy for my Rossi '92. A Beretta Stampede. This is their version of a SAA. Both are chambered in .44-40. I found it in a local shop - I must have passed it a dozen times in the past 6 months. It just so happened that I was walking in when the crusty old (semi-retired)owner of the shop w...

jfg_4

That part where he went straight... yeah I can do that!

jfg_4

Good looking weapon. I got a 10/22 way back and the first thing I did was to save my nickels and dimes to put a Choate folding stock on it. 26 years later I finally put the original stock back on (but I kept the flash hider onit). Good looking kid as well! Here is mine before I put the folder on cir...

Once again thanks to all who have replied.

I am new to the reloading game. I bought a used Lee Loadmaster Press from a buddy - the thing is sweet. I cranked out 100 .45acp rounds like nobodies business. I now have the basic die set for 44-40 and 45-70 (along with the shell holders). The dies included Full Length Sizing Die, Bullet Seating Di...

jfg_4

Oh yeah... the first 8 rounds down range had the holes touching on the paper!

jfg_4

I got to take her out to put a few rounds down range. I am stuck using an indoor range most of the time. It is okay but it limits the distance I can shoot. Now normally when I go to just try out a weapon I put 10-20 rounds down the pipe. This is because of limited time and I am cheap when it comes t...

Yup... I waited a long time before deciding to get one. Being able to see them on the rack was nice. They said the just bring out a few from the back at a a time.
