Though it's been a while since I've looked at a standard carbine, this one looks like what I remember and it came installed on a barrel from a parted out post-64 94. It sure looks original to me.

Speaking of hanging pictures, can we get a 94 for a background over here? I always felt like that helped remind us what was important.

I took Puzzle Four out for a field test and to get a rough sight-in before presenting it to my nephew. The barrel still has the ramp front sight and the original blade insert. I bought an new standard rear sight from Browning that should be just like what it had originally. The load was the Federal ...

In Texas, it was illegal to have a handgun bowhunting (during the archery only season) for a long time. A couple of years ago the law was changed to allow (maybe acknowledge is a better term) carry with a CHL while bow hunting.

The thing that just got brushed over was the fact that the gunman was killed by a church member with a gun I didn't catch that part at all. He did, apperently kill two before they stopped him. There is a possibility he was the same shooter responsible for another shooting earlier, 70 miles away at ...

We're not near as free as we used to be nor as we like to think.

Kirk, I have now had a chance to look at a table and check my inventory. The powders I have on hand that are slower than 4198 are IMR 3031, H335, IMR 4895, Win 748 and IMR 4350. The H335 may be the one to start with. It's slower than 3031 and it is a ball powder. It may be too slow, but we'll see......

I was 30 years old and had never seen a deer when I had a gun in my hand during deer season. I was at a friend's place doing my first hunting from a blind. On the last morning I finally see a little bitty doe. She came all the way to my blind, but I kept my rifle on my knees and waited for a BUCK! A...

I just looked at a burn rate chart on line and according to it, I may not have a spherical powder that would be appropriate. I'm trying to remember what I've got (some was bought and tried YEARS ago for load development in a rifle and then set asside when I settled on something else). I think I have...

Hoby, I agree that 4227 would be more of a "magnum" load than I'm looking for in my 45 SAA

20cows

Off the top of my head (I'm not where I can consult burn rate tables at the moment), I have H380, H414 (I think) and IMR 4227(it may be faster than you're talking, but no chart here). I am using the 4227 for a trapper 38-55 load that is more or less black powder equivalent. (~1400fps w/ 275 gr bullet)

I have a 5 screw model 15 that I got online for $200, but it was showing some wear.

It shoots like it's supposed too, though!

20cows

Kirk, I was discussing your load work with a friend and we both were wondering why, if you can get this kind of performance, near 800 fps, why it was not more commonly done, particularly with older black powder guns. I think I would really like to try this in my 45 Colt SAA. Would it be reasonable t...

20cows

They shoot really well.

If it is indeed 95%, that would be a very reasonable price. I would ask to shoot it first, though.

I am thinking about a rimfire levergun in the not too distant future, but I will probably end up with a Henry. I would rather have the 9422, but I don't see them often w/o extraneous checkering. ( Don't like the look). I wouldn't mind a Marlin, but the only ones I ever see have a pistol grip stock. ...

Many years ago I read a biography called Lighthorse Harry. Iwas the story of Robert E. Lee's grandfather, Henry Lee, and his Revolutionary War exploits.

In Texas, the cougar is not protected at all. See one, shoot one. It does not matter if it is in the act of doing anything but breathing at the time. If the cat is there, it has "potential", if it's dead, it doesn't. The Texas dept of wildlife would like to know if you shot one, but there ...

I hope you've got plans and something to do. A feller needs a reason to get out of bed in the morning. :wink: At your (our) age, hopefully health is not an issue and you can do anything you want to do. It won't stay that way long if you DON'T keep doing. I may be talking out of line, as I expect you...

I understand you logic in using the slow rifle powders for the desired pressure curve, but I would think that this would be a situation where barrel length is critical. Are you getting ~700 fps out of the short barrel with a small amount of rifle powder? BTW, WOW on the find and the willingness to d...

Things are more like they are now, than they have ever been!

It depends. If I'm selling something, then I'm selling it and would like fair market value. If I am making a gift, then I am considerably more generous.

The difference is obvious.

Long gun, .38-55, hands down.

Handgun, .45 Colt.

In Texas, the first gun control laws were put in place by "carpet bagger" politicians wanting to dissarm angry Confederates returning home to find someone else in charge.

Where is "The One Sticky" when you need it?!

It's been long enough since I've done it, I don't remember off the top of my head, but I do know this problem is solved by trial and error. You can't mess it up.

Like the shoe commercial says, "Just do it".

It's a good powder, but none of "the best loads" in any of my rifles have been with 3031.

Just the way it worked out for me.

Try another gunsmith. I don't think there is anything that can go wrong on a Uberti that a good gunsmith can't fix, particularly timimg issues!

Good times!!

Remove the buttstock and see if there is evidence that the tang has been replaced by having a later model tang welded on the old receiver. The original tang may have been broken.

This was a common fix for a common problem on a gun that old.
