One thing to keep in mind when shooting ammo of an caliber that is shorter than the rifle's chamber, is that residue will build up in the chamber just ahead of the mouth of the case. As a result, if you shoot a lot of 44 spl or 38 spl in magnum chambers, you will find that the longer rounds will no ...

Love mine too! Nice shooting there, Pitchy!

Grizzly Adams

Grizzly, can you describe how to accomplish that mount? I've found that they're best when shot with the CB positioned on the juncture of the upper arm & shoulder or directly on the upper arm - where muscle curvature usually more nearly matches that of the CB. +1 on what Pete44ru has described. ...

If it's just a shooter, why not leave it as is? Actually looks pretty nice, IMHO.

Grizzly Adams

I like it a lot! Classic. The crescent butt requires a different mount than a shotgun butt.

http://s1311.photobucket.com/albums/s676/Boomstick_Jay I thought it was reported that it had a coil spring for the hammer. These photos show a flat spring???? I read some speculation by folks who had not seen one that it would have coil springs like the others made by Miroku. No coil springs in thi...

In the past couple months I have replenished my ulu inventory via eBay and Etsy buying a few used older (antique?) ulus at quite reasonable prices, three so far with one more in the mail. Here's my recent online purchased ulus http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v504/Ahnkochee/Tools/Ulu/mini-DSCF1092...

I remember a fella up in Alaska that ran a dog team made up of standard poodles. Did just fine!

Great job, Ji ! Very authentic looking. :) I lived and worked in bush Alaska for many years, and collected a number of these knives. In Western Alaska it is called an Uluaq or Keginalek (sp ?), depending on the dialect. It means "Woman's knife." Ulu has become a more or less generic term f...

My understanding is that Winchester WILL be offering this rifle in 44-40 next time around. A high grade version is also on the way, with a case hardened frame and a step up in wood. Sixgun, you are right about pre-1900 Winchesters, but this one is as close as it comes! Check out Wolf Bane's blog for...

A fine rifle indeed. It would be hard to use that one for CAS. I had a hard time deciding to quit using mine for CAS because it (Uberti 73) is just to nice to beat up,and Cowboy guns do get beat up. My Marlins get to play Cowboy and the 73 stands in the safe at this point. That may change at a late...

Howdy, gents: Picked this up last week, and thought I would share a few pics and first impressions with you. This is the newly minted Winchester 1873 made by Miroku. Introductory caliber is 38/357.

Saw a Rossi levergun on the rack at a local Big 5 store the other day, and it got me wondering how good they are. These were pistol caliber, and am not even sure of model number. There was a 38spc/357 mag model and a 44 mag model. How do these compare to reliability, accuracy, and price of the Marl...

I have seen Uberti 73 "in the white" and polished. They look like Stainless Steel, but are not. To my knowledge, Uberti does not make the 73 in Stainless. I have an 1860 Henry with an "in the white" barrel finish. I initially worried that it would rust easily, but that is not the...

I don't mind the texting, and I don't get upset when folks do it while we're in the middle of a conversation - it's a new standard of behavior, and not considered rude. That said, I can not abide those that talk on their cell, bluetooth or other, in public, like the rest of us are flower pots! :lol:...

Question...What is a lubricated bullet? Cast bullets are lubricated with a wax based lube for Smokeless - usually blue or red in color. For BP they are lubed with SPG or some other product designed for BP use. Both types are carried in the "lube groove" or the cast bullet. Molly is anothe...

Any 45LC load safe to use in the Colt SAA will be just fine in the U73.

Grizzly Adams

The cover was a 10.

The article on the 1892 was a bit lame, IMHO.

Grizzly Adams

I believe the history of the 30-06 as our primary service cartridge for about 50 years, and a handful of wars in which literally millions of American men served, proves lots of folks can tolerate the "aught six."

A man equipped with a 30-06 can take on just about anything, man or beast.

Once again, Ruger misses the mark. They missed the mark on the LCR when they came out with it in 22LR, What? A carry pistol, why not make that 22 mag???

When the "Bearcat" was reintroduced, I remember convertibles being advertised. It seems like they were never produced or maybe were recalled? A few were actually sold. I remember seeing them in a shop in Anchorage, AK. Each was shipped with two cylinders like the Single Six. Ruger recalle...

I bought a Coach Gun Supreme when I lived in New York. When I got home to England I sent it to the London Proof House. They declined to test fire it as it was so far off face. I had it worked on by a double gun specialist, sent it for proof and again it was rejected. After two more attempts I gave ...

Grizzly Adams

As far as i have been able to determine, there are no parts for the B92. Some outfit in Canada is supposed to have some, but I called and they don't. Winchester has parts for the new 1892.

That one actually is collectable. Not so much as a collectable firearm, but because it is a Roy Rogers collectable!

And you guys need to give Trigger a break -how would you do with no thumbs!?

Grizzly Adams

Not my cup of tea, but I doubt there will be a series of Mossburg commemoratives.

Wait.

.....that could mean it will be a "rare collectable " ................in about 150 years!

Great looking rifle. However, he is way off base with his assertion that the Uberti 1876 is not strong enough for smokeless powder loads of BP velocities. That is just nonsense, and is a disservice in terms of educating the shooting public about these replica arms. IMHO! There is a group of folks wh...

However, if sales warrant, I would look to see a series of limited productions in a variety of calibers and configurations as we h...

Be careful with the tinkering. I've polished a number of them in my day, but I'm far from a gunsmith. You can screw a 1911 up pretty easy if you start removing metal. The fit of the frame ramp to barrel is fairly critical. +1 Most problems with the 1911 are magazine related. I would start there.

Grizzly Adams

That's a beautiful 71! Sure beats my Browning 71.

Love that little take down above is too !

I have one of the New Winchester 1892s in 357 that is a beautifully finished little rifle. I can't wait to get the new 1873. They are scheduled to start shipping this month.

PB is working fine for me. Actually, seems to be a little less buggy than it has been. Maybe they are getting it together? I know, not likely!
