I didn't say I was just average - just that, like all men, I'd like to be above average!

Yep, I think I remember reading about the brass shim approach on the "old" forum. That should do the trick!

Who was talking about buying it? :wink: Got me! Didn't see that one coming at all! Here's a picture of it: http://i100.photobucket.com/albums/m2/Ysabelkid/RugerBlackhawkFlat-top01.jpg It actually looks better than this - my photography skills are no where near those of Kirk's or some of the others ...

Why do I do this to myself?

Iâ€™m working in the home office this afternoon when my wife pokes her head in and says â€œturn on Oprahâ€

Thanks Tom!

Hey - I just noticed SC doesn't allow for this at all? What gives... I thought we had more sense than that?!?

With what the Dem's have done to our society? It would be more trouble than it would be worth, though it would be fun to annoy the liberals...

Congrats salvo!!!

Life is good!!!

Thanks guys! Joe, I do have an old flat-top that has pretty much gone all plum in the frame. Maybe I should post a few pictures of it over at the Ruger site to drive them wild?!? :wink: No. You should send it to me! Now Steve, we both know you would get in WAY TOO MUCH TROUBLE with a little one on ...

Congratulations Vic!

Pictures???

Ha... Hobie, you're a man after my own heart, but I did just order a priming tool and a primer pocket tool. Not to mention spending $150.00 at the gun show yesterday on brass, bullets, powder, dies, a benchrest, primers, and a set of grips. Dang... Good idea though... But Scott, you need the pilot....

I also like how you teased us with a glimpse of the 1895 SRC. You've got some keepers for sure.

Ditto!

Congrats!

What happened to the concept of property rights in this country? The wolf was on HIS property attacking HIS property.

This country has gone nuts...

Chickens. Here I thought you guys (cubrock and Saloon Slug) were going to do your own science-fair experiment!

Reminds me of something we do down here. What's the last thing a redneck says? "Ya 'all come here and watch this!"

I ressemble that remark!

While Trail Boss filled the cases nicely and cleanup was a snap, rounds just weren't fun to shoot: kinda anemic to shoot, no boom, no smoke, etc., compared to the Army carbine load of 405gn w/55gn BP. Tom, not to hijack Kirk's post, but did you actually "fill" the .45-70 case with Trail B...

I think they did, didn't they, just recently?

Kirk - beautiful gun, and I can't wait to see the results of your range session!!!

Just my ever-so humble opinion, but I'd have to believe that anything done by hand would be (a) better and (b) considerably more expensive!

There are several great gunsmiths here on the forum. I am sure one of them will be able to give you more details and some pictures showing the difference!

Welcome aboard and congrats! Pictures as soon as you can manage them!

Hobie - All the good dealers must be only going to the Virginia shows because the C&E ones here have gone downhill hard and fast since they switched locations from the Metrolina Marketplace to the Merchandise Mart... :cry: Glad to hear that the C&E shows are attracted good vendors elsewhere....

Thanks guys! I was having fits a few months ago thinking that a couple of my guns were starting to rust, and couldn't figure out why, given how well protected they are. Then I realized that I could only see that plum color in certain light (really strong light, like the one shining into my safe). Ys...

Gee, Victor, thanks! I already have PLENTY of those!

I was just looking for more levers!!!

Okay, another embarrassing revelation â€“ Iâ€™ve never used one. Never had an opportunity to shoot a rifle so equipped.

Looking forward to your first range report with it Victor. Take care!

I am SO JEALOUS! Darn that looks like a beautiful range!

Are you allowed to shot him?

After this exchange on another topic, I thought I'd post this as it's own thread. http://sixshootercommunity.com/leverguns/viewtopic.php?t=730 What causes some metal used in guns to go "plum" in color? I have seen this a lot on older Ruger handguns, but it appears this is also the case wit...

I share that "humble opinion"!

Chuck100 yard, I have a 1873 rifle in 38-40 made in 1891. It is a 85% gun. It shoots great, but I wanted a SRC to go with my old SAAs. Ysabel Kid. The gun belt is a Cartridge scout belt Made by W.H. Clay of Brownsville, Texas (circa 1915). It hung in the Ranger Museum at Waco, Texas for years. It w...

I think that's an $800+ gun NIB, IIRC. Looks like a steal for someone!

The shows here near Charlotte never seem to have a lot of lever-actions.

In fact, the couple regular shows are starting to go down hill a bit. Not enough "old" guns, not enough reloading supplies, too much plastic and non-gun related junk...

Thanks for keeping up posted. The knee-mail continues!

Me too - but here is mine:

BTW - If a plastic of any kind ( PVC included ) is used, powder will stick to it from the static electricity generated by whatever - unless it is first dipped in a dishwashing detergent & allowed to air dry. Which is why plastic (including PVC) should NEVER be used with black powder - despite t...

I bet if you took really fine BP and dumped it onto a spark it might ignite (explode). Just figuring this is similiar to an organic powder dust explosion (like what happens in grain storage silos). I happen to sell a cellulose-based powder for the company I work for. You could do the same thing - &q...

I was thinking the same thing - darn fancy digs for a hunting trip! Then again, I guess that was the norm. I remember stories of my grandfather when he would come home from work, change out of his suit and tie, put on a different dress shirt and tie to eat dinner with his family. The man died shortl...

"No self-respecting criminal or gang-banger would ever buy one of these," a law enforcement source said. "But crazies - they love 'em." What is that?!? Yeah... crazies with BP. Only in NY city. So, exactly how many crimes are committed each year with BP firearms? 1, 2 - maybe. C...

Oh, and if you want to have a lot of fun and get LOTS of attention, take that .30 to your local INDOOR range and touch off a few rounds. In no time, you will have guys coming up to you and asking you, "What the heck IS that thing?!?!" It does make folks look! :twisted: I was wondering wha...

Victor -

If that sight works half as nice as it looks, you should keep it "period" or not!

Cool site Ted!!!

Thanks Tom - I responded!

Marlin's customer service is top notch. Let's remember they specifically target (pun intended) affordable guns for their consumers. Some quality issues are going to arise occasionally, but when they do, Marlin makes it right every time. I wish more companies would stand behind their products as well...

Nothing wrong with repeated knee-mails!

Welcome to the fire!!!

Not sure in an 1873 clone, but in my Marlin 1894 I had a full-wadcutter .38 jam up the action for a good hour while I tried to fix it. I'd stay away from the full wadcutters, but almost anything else should feed reliably. Not saying they'd be accurate, but feed...

That IS impressive!
