Value of winchester 1892 miroku case hardened sporter

Hey all, I am just curious as to the value of my miroku made Winchester 1892 case hardened sporter. I've run less than 50 rounds of 45 colt through it. I would say it is in very good condition. I was thinking of selling it since my wife is pregnant with our first child and it might be nice to have t...

Driving from MD to ME, any reccomended stops along the way?

I'm driving up to Maine this summer from my home in Maryland for my cousin's wedding just outside of Portland, Maine. My wife and I are trying to make a little baby moon out of it too (my wife is due in November). Are there any places you recommend we stop along the way, or visit while we are up the...

Re: Tourists in Yellowstone "rescue" baby bison.

While it may be more prevalent now, I distinctly remember going to Yellowstone as a kid in the early 90s and witnessing some foreign tourists trying to get close enough to pet a wild bison. When the bison got close enough to the people it started freaking out and tried to tear apart a new little pin...

Re: .45 Colt COAL using LBT LFN in an 1892 cycling

Kind of a tangent from the topic, but since I've never done hand loading, would be better for me to start with something like the suggested hornady hp xtp 250 gr for a +P deer legal load rather than tinker with a bullet profile that might have too large a metplat, too high a pressure or too long a C...

Re: .45 Colt COAL using LBT LFN in an 1892 cycling

Hello BigMike349, and welcome to the forum! Allow me to clarify something. While the rifle you may use to hunt deer with in Maryland is required to shoot ammo giving 1200FT LBS. of muzzle energy, a handgun is only required to use ammo producing 700FT LBS. of energy. So you'll have to keep the ammo ...

Re: .45 Colt COAL using LBT LFN in an 1892 cycling

Mike, Welcome to the forum. One thing that can happen with large meplat bullets in '92 is that the nose of the cartridge, if large enough and loaded long enough can possibly depress the forward portion of the cartridge stop during chambering which will allow the next cartridge in the magazine to en...

Re: .45 Colt COAL using LBT LFN in an 1892 cycling

All, Thanks so much for your input. Chuck 100 yd - I have read that montana bullet works does not provide samples to try. do you know anyone else who would provide samples of the gas checked LBT LFN? missionary5155 - from my calculations I would have to drive the 265 gr bullet 1420 FPS to make 1200 ...
