I can't find(modern) 50-110 ballistics anywhere. Do any of you have a conversion? I seem to remember JT doing an articl...

Re: A chopper it is, then.

Please make sure ALL gasket sufaces are FLAT! AMF had shoddy workmanship (if your parts are made in that era) make sure rocker boxes are flat and head surface on top is flat. They used to make aluminum pushrod tubes that had nuts to "screw them apart" with rubber seals . I used them and my...

Re: stock question

Leverdude , that was what I was told, but I saw a Sharps "Old West Maple" and got to wondering if it would hold up on a 50-110 (smokeless loads) that I was going to build from a brand-new 1886 Winchester-Browning.

Total cost with new rifle,barrel and conversion fee= $ 2,000.00. A sm...
