Here is my 1895 CB with a grind to fit Pachmeyer Decelertator pad. I used a grind to fit because I had to shorten the stock to keep the LOP the same with the pad installed. It tames the rifle nicely.

I have both pre-safety(2-336RCs) and safety Marlins(1894CB and 1895CB) and they are all fine guns, well made, and shoot accurately. I don't like the safety but had to have a couple of the Marlin cowboy versions and they come with the safety. I replaced the safeties with Ludwig's devices. If you don'...

I shoot 20.5 grs of WW296 which is the same powder as H110. Very pleasant to shoot. Of course I shoot that load in a Ruger. Might be a little stiff for a Colt SAA or clones.

John Boy, no one to my knowledge, including VTI, offers a light mainspring for an Uberti made Bisley revolver. The Bisley uses a totally different mainspring that a normal single action. It actually has hooks on the upper end that engage a "T" looking bar that is attached to the hammer. Si...

Griff, I started off narrowing the spring, but it was so thick and stiff that I started thinning it also. The Bisley spring is more of a challenge than a normal SAA spring because when you cock the Bisley the spring contacts the trigger guard before the gun is fully cocked so that the last movenent ...

Ysabel Kid, I was so busy yesterday that when I saw the original post back near the top I forgot that I had started a new post.

Thanks for the reminder.

I posted yesterday because the gun has returned, but my post isn't here this morning. Let me try again. The gun is back and they replaced the barrel. The new barrel measures .451 inch. The only thing I am disapointed about is the barrel/cylinder gap which is between .009 and .010 inch which is a lit...

The following link is to my original post for anyone who hasn't read it or wants to re-read it. http://www.levergunscommunity.com/viewtopic.php?t=5501 MY Bisley revolver returned yesterday. They replaced the barrel. The new barrel measures a little over .451 inch groove diameter. They did a good job...

Noah Zark, they are called soft gas checks and they are sold by CF Ventures, 509 Harvey Drive, Bloomington IN 47401. I bought another box from him last October and it sounded like he wouldn't be in business too much longer because he said that he only sold the 5 lb box now. That is the only size I h...

While my intent with this post was only to discuss how I was treated and not to try to get Cimarron to take any further action, I am glad that they will look at the gun again. Maybe they will also take this opportunity to look at how they interact with customers. There were some details I left out o...

Guys, I received a call from the parts/shipping person at Cimarron who said they would have the gun picked up and sent to them. He said that they would remeasure the barrel(interesting term since there is no indication they measured it the first time) and rebarrel the gun if it is out of spec. I am ...

Hobie, what you say makes a lot of sense, but I feel that I have already done that in the fax I sent him and have gotten no response. Also I have received a private message from someone who has had a similar experience to mine and was dealing directly with the president of the company. I have learne...

Noah Zark, for me the discussion was never about the group size. They brought it up. In my fax to the president I only mentioned that assessing barrel groove diameter by a group size was not a very scientific method. The gun was returned for an oversized barrel not for poor accuracy. Ysabel Kid, I e...

Charles, I don't know what their policy is, but their website has a chart with what the bore and groove diameters are for all their weapons. It shows .442 for the bore and .450 for the groove diameters for a 45 Colt. They never said that the group they shot met their standards, they told me that the...

JReed, the chambers measure .455. While I would prefer tht they be smaller I don't have a problem with them at that size. My Colt SAA also has .455 throats and it shoots 1 3/8 in groups at 25 yds. I too first came to Huntsville in the Army. I got out of the military in 1981 and have been in Huntsvil...

I purchased a Cimarron Bisley revolver in 45 Colt. The first time I fired it, it was grouping very poorly. After I got home and cleaned the gun, I slugged the barrel and it measured .458 inch( should be .451-.452 for 45 Colt). I shipped it to Cimarron and included a slug from the barrel with it. Two...

Actually, the original Limited Cowboys had 24 inch barrels and checkering. The current 20 inch models do not have the checkering.

Marlin made a 410 levergun not too many years ago. It would be easier to look for one of them to purchase.

jdad, I don't own any stainless guns but I don't care about the mess with my blued guns. A patch with some hoppes on it cleans up the oputside of the gun very quickly.

Is it harder to remove the residue on a stainless gun?

When you are ready to try 158 gr bullets I have found 13.5 gr of 2400 to be a good load in all of my 357s.

Like WyrTwister, I don't understand the fascination with whether a powder is clean burning. If the powder is accurate in my guns it is the one I will use.

Educate me on why you dislike Stallone. I enjoy watching movies but don't spend any time paying any attention to the actors or what they are doing outside of their profession.

J Miller, sorry you had a bad experience with the 24 in version. I bought the first 24 in 1894CB in 45 Colt that showed up in my town. It is a flawless rifle. Shoots well, cycles well, and looks great. It also better matches my 45-70 CB that has a 26 inch barrel than the 20 incher would. Love them b...

My electronic lock has been trouble free. I don't know how long the battery will last because I change the battery once a year.

Mine has a light strip inside that comes on when you open the door. I highly recommend lioghts in the safe.

Thanks for all the comments. It appears that there are a lot of products that will work satisfactory. I put some delicate boot cream on my rig last night and it hasn't darkened the leather. I have two pair of Lizard skin boots that are more likely to dry out and crack that other skins and the delica...

I used to use neatsfoot oil on my holsters to keep them in good shape. A few yeasrs ago I bought an El Paso Saddlery rig and don't want to use neatsfoot oil on it because of a fear that it will darken the leather. I E-mailed EPS to ask what they recommend and it is Snow Proof. LIving in the south yo...

Since I couldn't reply on Leverguns I thought I would move the thread here. Thanks for your thoughts Kansas Ed. I realize I am chasing a minor problem and therefore I don't intend to spend a lot of money on correcting the misalignment. I hope that changing the bolt will fix it but also understand th...
