Re: RL Wilson Book, Winchester - need a favor

got em, printed beautifully and stuck em in my book. a big thanks to you Perry. Ever since I noticed them missing I have wondered what was on the pages. I bought it used on Amazon for a low price and did not notice the missing pages for a while because I spent most of my time reading the 1873 sectio...

Re: TV Show "American Guns" made a new Win 1866. Anyone see it?

I dont remember who said this recently (some company owner interview) and I will have to summarize it Some companies and people work hard so they can reduce the price of their products, while others work hard to raise their prices.

RL Wilson Book, Winchester - need a favor

Did not want to jump on the offer for a chance at this book because I have it already. Well, most of it anyway. Which leads me to the favor I would like to ask. I bought it used and it seems as if the previous owner could not part with all of the pages. Could someone who has a copy scan and post or ...

Re: Rossi 92 future availability

The CFO just approved and offered to split it for Christmas, so I ordered it up. Sure will beat a stack of shirts.

Rossi 92 future availability

was at a gun shop and he had a 44-40 oct barrel for $425. I want a mod 92, but not in that configuration - have that caliber in an 1873. I asked if he could order these and he said not at that price for too long and was told that Rossi was going to stop importing them and that the company taking ove...

1873 - Lever hard to hold closed

On my Navy reproduction 1873, I think there is a fix for this, the spring that holds the lever slightly open is really strong, so it is hard to hold the lever closed to allow the trigger to be pulled. Is this a relatively simple fix or not, any directions with nice pictures (the ones that Arlo Guthr...

Re: Hello

thanks,

Not a lever, but in the spirit of the old stuff, here is my poor mans sharps :roll: HR Buffalo Classic, reamed to 45-90 and an 1858 reproduction. I shoot the fake black out of the 45-90.

Hello

New member here, but have knocked around quietly for a while.

I parted with my first rifle, a Kmart special Marlin-Glenfield a while back and have since added a Navy arms 1873 replica. It does not see much action however. I am seriously considering a Rossi 92 - 45 colt, as my next addition.
