The lock was flint and looks like it may have been from a Springfield though the hammer looks like it was reshaped from a Belgian hammer and the lock could have been from the same gun. The stock could have been from a Springfield musket too before it was reshaped by someone with little ability or pr...

What you can learn by hanging out here! I'm going to get TWO of those groves cut in my Rossi .454 before hunting season.

Your existing barrel can be bored out and the chamber reamed to .35-30/30 (.35-30). Dies and chamber reamers are avaliable and the cartridge is in the same class or slightly better than the .35 Remington.

I had found a small bottle of powdered graphite somewhere years ago and I mixed some with automotive chasis grease, real slick snot. I put it in a small plastic syringe as an aplicator. If I mix another batch I will use white lithium grease for a base. I would guess you can still buy Lubriplate in t...

They are single shots. Roll it over and drop a round into the big slot in the bottom of the barrel.

Hawkeye2

You already have plenty of experience with the real thing why change? All those other powders may make smoke but when the horn blows and lead starts flying down range a lung full of BP smoke turns me into a shooting machine.

KWK are the patent drawings online? I searched but only got 7 hits and these were for auction results.

Hawkeye2

Fantastic site! Thanks for posting the link.

I believe you will find the front of the Circuit Judge cylinder to be completely enclosed by a shield.

There is one of these in the National Firearms (NRA) Museum and you have to see it in person to appreciate how sleek and sexy the rifle is. If I remember correctly the info posted with the rifle said that it was so weak it blew open with the .44 cartridge.

Hawkeye2

I just read that blurb a few minutes before I turned the computer on. It's obivous that the person who wrote it had never shot one and probably has never even seen one. Most likely he was told to write something quite positive (to keep the advertising account) and based it on Tarus's material. It wa...

Do any of you have any experience with holographic/panoramic sights particulary those by BSA or Osprey? I thinking of either a red dot (tube style) or holographic sight for my Rossi 92 and am leaning strongly toward the holo type. How visible are the dots in either type in bright sunlight? Any input...

Hawkeye2

That might make it difficult to extract but shouldn't affect ejection.

Hawkeye2

As far as I'm concerned it is .45 Colt period. Since there never was a .45 Colt Short, or a .45 Colt Extra Long why do we need to call it anything except .45 Colt? There is another one that is begining to burn my butt and that is .32 S&W Short. There is no such animal. There is only .32 S&W ...

Iron Cit...Oops, sorry, thought this was World's Worst Beer thread. Seriously we just tiled a bathroom floor and the OSB board had a smell from where it had been wet once but was solid. 90% rubbing alcohol took care of it right now.

I'm back again and Rusty got me thinking when he mentioned scout car. It looks like there are 2 trapizodal shaped plates mounted on the vehicle. One is at the rear between the spotlight and the gent leaning by the rear wheel. The other is above the cowl and behind the head of the guy on the left. It...

Hawkeye2

That is a spotlight on the far right and it looks like another about 1 Oclock above the hat of the guy on the left. It is not a touring car, I don't see any top folded down and the large steering wheel with a steep steering column angle and completely exposed (no body work around it) seat all speak ...

Photos can't possibly do the minature firearms justice. You need to see the '66 in person to truly appreciate it, stunning is an understatement. To me it is even more impressive than a full size rifle. Every time I go by the National Firearms Museum I spend quite a bit of time in front of the minatu...

Hawkeye2

I would leave the barrel and mag tube as is and dovetail a ring into the barrel like a rifle to support the tube or fit a band behind the sight. It would make a great converstion piece: You've never seen one of these? He**, everybody back home had one like it when I was growing up! Can you show a cl...

Hawkeye2

As its the "safety model", I'm guessing it was made in the seventies.

That one looks identical to one my mother got pre 1953 (don't remember exactly) except on hers the ringer release bars were red rather than green

Hawkeye2

Include me in the drawing. Thanks!

Hawkeye2

I have used matches & candles to smoke a mold and have cast with a bare mold, both steel, aluminum, and brass and never had a problem. However I have used Midway's spray on mold release for probably 15 years now and it is great stuff. What I like most is that it lubes the sprue plate and the bas...

"You could have just looked down the barrel"

Good thing it isn't a BB gun, you could put your eye out that way.

Hawkeye2

If you are not concerned with being able to return the rifle to its factory configuration (not sure the average Rossi will ever be a collector's item in our lifetime) just carry it to your nearest competent gunsmith. Cutting the butt and fitting a top quality aftermarket recoil pad is simple and he ...

Dive shop...... Potomac Highlands of West Virginia....

Lobo,

There is a dive shop on Rt 522 in VA, couple miles north of where Rt. 127 joins it. Most of the neoprene in dive suits is quite thin and would need to be laminated.

Fire forming might work, all I know is the stuff I shot which was brand new ammo (RP I think) did all it's streching at the area where the wall met the head which rendered it pretty much useless as far as I was concerned. True a 7 mm in an 8 mm rifle probably wouldn't be much of an issue but it is s...

In the early 60's a lot of them hit the market in real good shape and my great uncle bought 2. They sold for $.xx per pound and probably came out to about $11 to $13 each, I don't remember the exact figures. I traded one off about 15 years ago and he sold it to someone who shot it quite a lot with n...

If you are an Orbison fan then the next time your local PBS station has a fund raiser and broadcasts the "Black & White Night" concert set everything aside "Stop, Look, & Listen". I can't get enough of it!

"4 more rounds in a 20 inch carbine be of any practicle use compared to a 6 shot 30-30" . The standard 94 holds more ammo than you need as is. I carried a short magazine 94 carbine for years, 3 in the magazine and 1 in the chamber. I never used a mag full shooting at a deer in my life. My ...

Didn't Raquel fall off a stage at one time? She didn't fall off the stage in my town but my town is so small the stage takes the bypass nowdays. I left my body to her in my will to use as she sees fit then had my attorney write a letter to her urging her to take advantage of the offer now as I'm pre...

You have been issued credit for one appology and the next time I feel hurt or offended I'll use it, thanks in advance. Most of its value as a collectable would go out the window, or down the barrel, with the first shot. I'm not sure how many commerative collectors there are out there but Winchester ...

Hawkeye2

Sixgun did a great job of telling how to get it unlocked and back to its original configuration. I might not have been clear but my question is: Once it is back to its stock configuration what can be done to assure it never happens again? Cross pin the pin? Ream/drive in a roll pin? Drill & tap ...

Hawkeye2

I have a Navy Arms/Rossi .45 and a Rossi .454, are there any modifications that can be done to insure this never happens?

Hawkeye2

That is one stunning outfit till you get to those "animals" scratched into the reciever. Maybe a person could epoxy a peso or silver dollar over them.

My bet: it's all studio props including the hair!

"We are not impressed" Stalls easy. You have to push it to help it start. Doesn't want to start when it is cold. Take a serious look at the reviews and not the number of stars. Bench grinders have a short life if you drag the RPMs down while working it, this is much more true with cheap on...

Love it, anywhere I can find a file that will print a larger version of that signe?

When you toss out a name could you do us the courtesy of including a link?

Hawkeye2

It doesn't appear to be a complex weapon. Better take a second look at the barrel to frame interlocking and latch. With its twist & pull ejection system it is a complicated pistol and the ones with a top strap required even more machining. Any play developing here would turn the revlover into a ...

Investment castings and CNC machiing would make a MH possible but I doubt that we will ever see anything beyond requests for $$ so someone can finance their website. A large manufacturer with the equipment and a product line in place that could cover expenses might be able to bring them to the table...

2ndohvc (2nd OH Vol Cav?) what have you found wrong with the Polish P64? I have one which I have only fired a few magazines through but I like it. I never benched it but a 2 hand hold at 15 yards showed it was more than accurate enough for a defensive pistol and it digested Chinese, XTP, & +Ps w...

I contacted Winchester in 1973 concerning several Winchesters I owned but they couldn't supply any info on the 94's as their serial # records had a gap (!) from 353,999 to 2 1/2 million. The ones I was seeking info on were in the 950,xxx to 1,000,000 range. Does anyone know of an online source for a...

Taylor is an importer, they do not manufacture anything. Many of their firearms are Uberti but they import others as well and they do tell you who made them.

Hawkeye2

Factory but rare. They are light, easy to carry and shoulder and great on moving targets. 94s in this configuration got the name "Eastern" carbines for some reason, hunting in wooded areas where you aren't going to get off more than a couple of shots?

My father hunted with an 86 in .33 from the late 40's till the gun got too heavy for him to carry. Durring that time (late 60s?) he ran out of factory ammo and picked up a couple of boxes from a commercial reloader who had formed them from .45-70 brass. Almost every one split when fired but did the ...

Camp Cook, H110 was my first choice but there wasn't any avliable anywhere near here and the reloading supply dealer was completely out of powder till last week. I was lucky to get the 2400.

I just got a Rossi 92 in .454 and looked around for a .45 load since I couldn't find any .454 brass in time to finish the season. The 47th. edition of Lyman's "Reloading Handbook" had a load listed for a 250 gr. JHP and 2400 powder. I had a box of Hornady 250 gr. XTP bulets and I had used ...
