Tutt, In the day-time photo, and I think the 1st night-time photo you can see the smaller fireball from the barrel-cylinder gap. With all that escaping gas, makes me wonder how our 'old-timey' revolvers can still be still so effecient!

Buck, You are in my prayers. May the Lord bless and comfort you.

I've got Dunlop whitewalls on the Harley.

In my experience, it is safe. If the 38/55 round chambers with ease, there should be no problem.

I found that my T/C carbine in .375 Win. was a good deer killer.

Plus, the chamber was long enough to accept 38/55 rounds for black powder plinking!

on TV last night. TCM showed a Russian movie made years ago; it was about an army surveying party out in the boondocks of Siberia around 1907. The captain carried a '95 Winchester. Interesting that they are/were still floating around in the U.S.S.R. when the movie was made. Were they issued to Russi...

If you are interested in black powder, I get good results with a 115 lead bullet
(Lyman 311008) over 18 grains of Swiss fffg in my 1894 Marlin. That gave me 1250 fps.
Or, 11 grains of Triple 7 ffg at 1150 fps.

In Penna. we can use any centerfire cartridge regardless of caliber as long as it shoots a lead or jacketed bullet designed to expand. For ML, the caliber must be .44 or greater. Hey brno602, I've always read that soft lead must be used for a patched round ball so that's what I do. How's the accurac...

I have the American Rifleman issues of April '91 and June '96 that have articles on the BLR.
I may also have the July '82 on the BLR. Let me know if you want the pages copied.

Hey kid - I think the 336 in 30/30 would do ya fine. It works OK in a defensive situation too. As a small-town LEO I bought a used one and had my 'smith shorten the barrel to 16" for a patrol rifle. Qaulifying with it next to the younger guys with thier AR's was a blast; it kept up with them pr...

Charlie, It's amazing what a good man can do with his own hands. The beauty of your rifle helps me to appreciate the looks of my Uberti Henry.

Hi guys, after lurking in the shadows I finally signed up. I shoot BP in a Uberti Henry (.44/40) for competition, and in a Marlin .45/70 & .32/20 for hunting. In my experience, only the bore needs cleaning. No BP fouling gets in the 'works'.
