Tutt: thank you. I need to call them & get some more info. Again, thanks.

Ray Newman

Tutt: I kook on the AWA site for information about their Lightning rifles.

Could not find what I was looking for as whether or not they make their own actions/rifles, or get the actions/parts from US supplier/foundry, or buy the Italians Lightnings & re-work the rifle.

Do you know for sure??

"Something else to keep in mind, we keep thinking Hickok had a pair of Navy Colts, because that's what he was noted for carrying most often, but history tells us he had many guns, including an 1860 Army and other pistols at different times. It's not at all out of the question that he owned more...

If you read the tags in the picture posted by Malamute it states: " Said to be one of a pair owned by Wild Bill...." (italics added --RCN) Notice use of the word "said" -- no definite proof that they were owned by Wild Bill. Myself, I think it is probably very hard to determine w...

I have the Redding w/ the micrometer head. Problem is the collet -- it is hard to get the case straight & get an even cut. A bench rest shooter recommended the L.E. Wilson. I bought the micrometer head unit & stand from Sinclair International. It was not cheap, but L.E. Wilson & Sinclair...

The S&W discontinued the M57 in 1993; the M58 in 1969/70. There was a limited run of mountain guns in 2005. The Ruger Blackhawk is still available in .41 & I wish Ruger would re-introduce the Redhawk in .41. I haven’t seen one @ the gun shows in quite a few years. I’ve seen a few S&W M57...

Concern about cost of living is good, but don't forget to figure in access to health care. Where I live in WA , there are some low cost areas, but you better drive to hospital before you have any major problem & wait there for it occur as there are very little & in some areas no medical resp...
