I gave up on spring guns a year ago and bought a Marauder PCP and sure aint looking back. It would be nice if Sharp or someone would bring the Sharp Innova back or a good quality multi pump. Lewis and Clark had PCP guns on their journey. I remember reading about the Sharp Innova, never seen one in ...

Gas pistons do not fatigue, have a smoother shot cycle, and are quieter as a general rule. Funny, I had always heard the same thing... But... But recently, my neighbor brought me over his Gamo "Bone Collector Bull Whisper" gas-piston .177 pellet rifle to try. Maybe it needs to be broken i...

I don't really care what terms people use, so long as they make sense and I can follow their intended meaning. But the fact remains that 'Words mean things'. A clip is a retention mechanism. A magazine is a storage device. A clip is used to load or charge an internal or a detachable magazine. A car...

For a con, I don't know. Harder to work on if that's your thing. I kind of like precharged pneumatics....

I'm not convinced of the effectiveness of picking up the brass. It may be similar, and may have some distinctive marks, but I'm thinking as far as actual convictions go, it will probably be a little too coincidental to other firearms. But this is not exactly new stuff. Maybe the database. Might help...

"Ask and you shall receive." You guys are awesome. And enablers! That little Pocket model you have is another gun that I covet. I have a larger 1851 (I think) that is a little bigger than it needs to be. I would really like a 1862 Pocket Navy. I missed a chance at it, by the time I figure...

Glad to hear the rifle and zero are ok! Looks to be a stout set of rings. As for the ball; as I was told: "That's why God gave you 2."

And whatever doesn't kill you might make you walk in circles...

Another way to think of the scale. Here is a Ruger Bearcat below an Uberti "Colt 1849 Pocket Model". This is a reproduction of the #1 selling cap & ball revolver Colt ever made (during the period). It is a 5-shot .31-caliber compared to the 6-shot .22 rimfire Bearcat. http://i100.phot...

I think I need some comparison pics next to other revolvers please!

Tactical Lever

He's in Canadia, I dont think finding 22's is an issue there. I'd go with the .38. I like Ruger and the looks of the bearcat but the grip is kind of small. I have a S&W model 34 and the grips on it are the same way. I've been thinking of getting rid of it but I waited so long for it. I just can...

Tactical Lever

.22 vs. 38? .38 is more versatile and can be reloaded cheaper than today's prices for .22. Stallion vs. Brarcat? Bearcat because it's made in USA. Handy, easy to tote. And Ruger quality and warranty/customer service, if needed. So, kinda useless post, eh? :lol: Mikld said it right. I'd never buy an...

Tactical Lever

Kind of a strange comparison maybe, especially as the Uberti that I would want is a .38 Spl. and the Bearcat is, well Bearcat caliber... 22! So here it is, I was looking at getting a few :oops: Bearcats as they are very handy and appropriate sized .22s. But recently I saw that Uberti is making a sma...

Anyone use Butch's gun oil? I don't know what I think of it. Seems like anything I put it on gets an orange hue. I wipe it and it looks like the beginnings of rust. Is this stuff hygroscopic or something? I just liberally oiled my Blackhawk, and wiped off the excess a couple days later; and the paw...

Ray and Sixgun, That's the one. Looks like I better start collecting pop bottles for the deposit and save up my $$$. Joe Save the cans though and make a beer can mortar.

STOP- Before you do anything to the revolver get to someone with a Ransom Rest and let them fire it with whatever loads you will use the most. Once you know where it is hitting you will know if it is you or the rev. Elevation either way can only be corrected with the front site. Deflection can be c...

I'll have to look for that article. I don't think I have it in my collection. I have seen the "around the corner" shooters, but I don't think I would want to try it with something that shoots straight. I could see it with a shotgun as Chuck mentioned, but that sounds like a crutch also; fo...

I remember a Gun Digest article, don't remember which year. The writer recommended bending the barrel to regulate a SA. It had pics of the homemade fixture he used in a vise and gave his method of deciding how much bend. That has to be a gag article? Or maybe a salvaging one that was run over by a ...

I think a little too much of a turn will pinch the forcing cone, which will not do much for accuracy. It would probably be something that I would try, but only with some careful measuring, feeler gauges and maybe, nothing to lose? Mentioning your front sight, I think I would braze a new one on first...

Kind of like it. I would probably try it out on something already worn before stripping bluing though. Probably makes a difference on who's applying it. Wonder how it would work on excessively gold rifles?

Regarding ballistics in extreme cold, a good friend who was a civilian gov't. employee in the early 1960s and involved in testing the M-16 .223 for the Ordnance Corps informed me about testing they did in Alaska in extreme cold (-20 and below).

So is this an all new rifle, or has the company switched hands in the last year or two?

That thing is sweet! I like the manual controls. I would like one with hard tops, a carb, and a small straight six, though. Smaller, lighter power plant made for torque. 200 hp, would probably be enough.

Can they keep it under $10 000?

Never used them, as I have seen no need to spend the extra money. They have the advantage of holding together very well at high speeds.
