Not sure if they will fit a 1894, but they do fit the Pumas from what I hear.

Re: The 44 Mag Puma from Buds Guns arrived...

OK guys. The barrel is simply marked ".44 Magnum". Under the bottom tang its marked A. Rossi S.A., Made in Brazil. Meanc, I slugged the barrel for you ;) I was wanting to do this anyway - used a soft .44 Caliber (.454") ball. The grooves are .429 exactly. I didn't measure the lands -...

Re: OT: MAGTECH Ammo & Brass

I picked up a little over a 100 .44 Mag C.B.C stamped brass cases at the public shooting area outside of town earlier this year. Brass has been loaded about 7 times now with loads of 8-10grs Unique under either a 200gr RNFP, or 240gr LSWC, and show little wear except for the marks left by my 1892 ej...

Did you strip the stock or something? That wood looks nicer then mine; you can see the grain on yours. Mine is basically a solid brown and I don't think it is walnut.

O.S.O.K., I was asking him if he had run into the same problems he did in this thread on a different forum. Same model of gun but different manufacturer.

I did the same sight setup as Steve. The dove tails are a hair larger then normal. On my 20" (above) the front sight was a very tight fit with no shimming needed. The rear sight was a hair loose and required a shim. Piece of paper thickness and it was tight. My 16" was the opposite; the re...

Look behind your hammer; is there one or two screw heads. If there are two, then all you will need is the Tang Sight and the screw set COSteve posted.

I have a kind of weird question for you Puma 92 experts. My question is; when is the next round in the tube supposed to be fed unto the carrier, as the action is being closed, or as the action is slightly opened after being fully closed? I have two Pumas; 20" Oct barreled, and a 16" carbin...
