I have shown this Colt New Service 44-40 D.W. King's conversion before but here it is again. I love shooting it and its a pretty good barbecue gun. :lol: RR7 http://i43.photobucket.com/albums/e372/rangerider72/DCP_5464.jpg http://i43.photobucket.com/albums/e372/rangerider72/DCP_7089.jpg Wanna sell?...

Arminius

my Rossi 92 feeds .357 fine, but the same brand same weight bullet 38 loadings ( Magtech, 158 grs ) .38 specials seem to catch someting on the top edge or even inside of the chamber, and thus, partially in the chamber, jams. Or is it the lower chamber edge against the side of the case, and I don´t s...

In the recent past I found a Ruger Vaquero in 44-40 and bought it. No, it's not a double action but a really nice single action revolver, case colored frame, which looks barely used. Keep your eye open for a Ruger. Price paid? $395.00 of course, I would buy Rugers and Ubertis with short barrels, to...

Arminius

Howdy No, it is not feasable to ream out a 44 Mag chamber to 44-40. Even though the base of the 44-40 is larger in diameter, the neck of the 44 Mag is larger in diameter. So if you reamed out the 44 Mag chamber you would have over size dimensions at the case mouth. Thank you, Sir! Although I have s...

I have several .44 - 40´s. I would like to know, what "plain Jane duty" type handguns were ever manufactured? I know, of course, all the SA´s: Colt, Uberti, Beretta, ... you name it. But were there any DA´s made? Colt´s, Smith´s ... with 4 to 5" barrels? At the moment I am thinking ab...

Arminius

Wow!

A Classic!

Congrats!

Hermann

I have its brother. .357, 20", SS. Replaced the mag spring with one of real SS and the plastic plug with an Alu one. Cycles .357 real fine, 38 not. I´ll try Cowboy loads, .357 and .38 next. Still, for me the "near ultimate ITSHTF" gun. Would be nice in any car I own ... one 92 / .357 ...

Arminius

You shoot the Hens, too?

Here in Central Europe we usually shoot only the Cocks!

If a Hen falls per accident or by the dogs, no biggie, but constantly shooting Hens will decrease the population, is the opinion here.

Hermann

Arminius

it´s a wonderful, very "modern" round ... except it dates to around 1935 ...

stock up on cases ... not many manufacturers there!

Enjoy!

Hello!

I am sure this has been discussed before, but can´t find just now:

why was the Winchester 73 produced for long along with the 92?

The 92 is lighter, sturdier, and takes heavier loads.

Still, the ´73 was produced ...

Why?

Thx in adance, Hermann

Arminius

Great stuff Victor!! Here's the only .22 Magnum I have right now. Been wanting a Single Six to go along with it. http://i135.photobucket.com/albums/q128/2ndovc/Gun%20Stuff/100_4150.jpg Really love this little rifle. Does a number on the red squirrels around my cabin. jb 8) Now, THAT´s a BEAUTY! CZ?...

Arminius

Go Hi Cap:

the most beautiful of all of them, the Dick Special, still has 6 rounds of .38´s.

Get the elder Versions, with the blade mainspring, but not the really old versions, with the unprotected ejector rod.

Hermann

Arminius

I have only 7 LA´s, so I hardly dare to speak here.

IMHO the round ones are definitely LIGHTER!

As I more carry them, with an occasional shot, in the woods, than shoot them hot on a range, I prefer round.

Hermann

( who want´s a ´73 replica short rifle .44-40 next

That´s what I was looking for!

get whatever you can, if it´s a nice gun without safety.

IMO they don´t make them in the same quality anymore.

One can never have too much LA´s ...

Any experiences?

Hermann

that´s not a KAR 98 sling.

That has a metal keeper and only one "loop".

Are those "frogs" on your rifle?+

BTT:

I have a Win 70 in .375 H & H. The new Model, from the new factory, CRF, of course.

I want its brother in .300 H & H. But PLEASE lighter weight!

Arminius

For warm, but not top Magnum loads ( not Deer or Javelina hunting, but plinking and self defense ) I used 158 grs Bullets and up to 7.5 grs VV N 340.

Much cleaner burning than Unique, nice metering, no fireballs.

Also 10.6 grs N 340, 240 grs bullets and the .44 Mag are a JOY!

Hermann

Arminius

restock it, and stock up on empty cases

Get Nosler Partitions or A Frames and ENJOY!

As for factory loads, get Norma 286, Alaska or Vulcan ( Vulcan will open sooner, and drop more with distance ) Or RWS, or Blaser, or LAPUA, or the Winchester 9,3 x 62 with the 286 Nosler Partition bullet, which is loaded by Norma.

Wow! I have to reread that again. Anybody having a link to some base like I want? Because I do NOT want to change my LA´s by drilling and tapping. BTW my solution would be the red dot sight over the barrel, and a Williams receiver sight as back up. I have an elder 94 with a steel Lyman receiver sigh...

Dear fellow Levergunners! I really am ashamed to ask such a terrible question. I LOVE LA´s, but I have a sweet spot for ohter guns, too. This you will forgive me, I´m sure :wink: It´s a MARLIN, I am talking about. But the 9, the Camp Carbine :roll: Ever since I had this fun gun, I was dissatisfied w...

I have read articles where the Gun Cranks talk about other "Premium" bullets retaining more weight than a Partition. The reason for this is the bullet does not expand. What they do not talk about is the Partition "ALWAYS" expands, and yes loses some of the front part of the bull...

Arminius

I still have around one and a half boxes of them. It has no SWC, but rather a LFP bullet. That´s VERY ok. But the propellant seems to be slower than Unique ( = not so good in a 4" gun ), and the Lead bullet seems to be very soft. If it´s not available anymore, it´s a pity. It is/was a good load...

Arminius

I use the Swift A-frame only because they have more selection and an appropriate profile in .458 as compared to Nosler. Plus, Gander Mountain near me wants $95 for a box of 300 grain Partitions in .458 ... which is ridiculous. My understanding is that the A-frames have a bit more taper in the forwa...

M 29, 4" bbl. Load it down somewhat and use some speed strips for reloads. How about a 200 grs Round with Flat as bullet? Or one of those HP boolit moulds? I would use Unique or N 340 or in this burning speed league. But I would have some really heavy hitters with me, for the lone Brownie attac...

I tend to disagree. Tipton best brush set, with brass shank and brass core. Packed in a way, caliber is easily identified. When the bristles are too laid back, scrubbing action is nil ... discard them before this. Use Jags and top quality patches, and brushes only when heavily leaded ... Hermann ( B...

Doesn´t their set for the 92 says "Winchester and Rossi Rifles"???

I got one, I could check ...

Hermann

Arminius

I want both.

Is it possible, to top off the Scout rifle with mag inserted from the top?

No Stripper clips, regrettably, but single rounds are possible or not???

Hermann

Arminius

There are THREE mistakes in the Ruger approach:

1.) no charger slot

2.) one row mag - that´s a PITA! A double row mag, ond one, that´s easily obtainable, a la FAL or M 14 please!

3.) price is too high!

But prinipally it´s a nice idea!!

Hermann

Arminius

Where would I get a bolt peep for a Rossi 92 without the safety??

How much work is on the bolt to do? Is it removable?

Hermann

I don´t want to touch anything sensible, I like Rugers, I like their total reliability and strenght, but the lines of the BH are simply not upt to the Beauties displayed on this thread elsewhere ...

Hello!

Read about using snake oil on an old ´92 ... got me thinking.

I once bought a small amount of snake oil, but more for curiousity!

How´s it won, or what is it really, and what are it´s ( unique? ) properties?
