Check with VTI for a new barrel for the 44-40. Prob'ly the cheapest way to go. Or watch ebay for used barrels for whatever variety of clone you have.

M. M. Wright

I heartily agree Doc. Just write a big, red VETO on it.

Bought a 110 in a pawn shop once for 5 bucks. Really worn, short blade with hammer marks on the spine, loose, so I sent it to Buck and they sent me a new one. Still have it but I usually carry a Kershaw. It's lighter.

M. M. Wright

Rube, I think I've still got a set of 38-55 that has barely been used. I'll look if you are interested. Don't really need another set of 45 Colt but would take 20 for the 38-55s.

M. M. Wright

Oh! Yes. I gotta go clean up.

M. M. Wright

I too had a 99F with the 1 in 14" twist. I tried very hard to make it shoot 100 grain bullets but it refused so I stuck to 87 grainers and found that IMR 4064 gave me the best accuracy and velocity. Yeah, back then I THOUGHT I had to get the last 10 fps out of it. I probably killed over 50 whitetail...

Kewl cross bow Lenn. I built one with a car spring for a bow when I was in high school. I didn't have that goat's foot to cock it with so gave up on it pretty much as soon as it was done. Couldn't cock it. Last cross bow I had used a double miniature block and tackle arrangement for cocking. You nee...

I once had a Python that I sent to an old trooper in Florida who installed his roller sear. I asked him for a 4 lb. single action trigger pull and wen it came back both the single and double action pulls were 4 lbs. It was a fabulous pistol but with the price of Pythons these days and I doubt anyone...

When I'm loading 45 ACP I try to get wasp waist loads. That way the bullets don't set back in the case. Head spaces on the mouth so requires a taper crimp so about the only way to assure you don't get any set backs is to full length size and only expand and flare to a minimum. By the way, I use some...

If Barr is the new AG he'll be trying to outlaw large cap magazines and "automatic" rifles. I don't trust that guy. I'd love a good sting on the Dems too.

M. M. Wright

The El Presidente and Vise Presidente I'm familiar with but what is the Mozambique? I shot IPSC for 10 years or so and shot with some world champions. Ran 3 miles per day and shot 500 rounds per week but the difference in me and the champions was all mental. I even learned to control my pulse and re...

6, I still have a bunch of R-P 44-40 brass that I never use because the early Colt SAAs I use as Main Match guns will not chamber, (well, they are very tight) when loaded with .429 bullets. My solution has been to simply use Starline brass which is slightly thinner. Don't tell anyone but I opened th...

M. M. Wright

Beautiful. I've slept with one quite similar.

M. M. Wright

Oh, you're gonna enjoy that. Are you going to put a tang sight on it?

M. M. Wright

Hey TODD3/leg, I think I have seen the Miroku advertised in 38 WCF. You NEED one. I'll look.

M. M. Wright

I have an original that the bore slugs .431 so I bought the Miroku hoping for a tighter bore but alas, same size! Forgot to say it's a 44 WCF. I agree it's a very slick action but when I backed off the lever and lifter springs it got a lot better. Also, I thinned the lever safety spring way down so ...

M. M. Wright

I liked it!

M. M. Wright

Thanks Grizz, Just the kind of thing we enjoy 'round here.

M. M. Wright, you have the 1895 Anniversary Model made in 1970 (75th Anniversary).

Thanks Keith, it probably says that on the medallion. I just couldn't resist the configuration.

M. M. Wright

Nice fish Lenn. I'll bet he's froze hard as a rock if you put him outside. Stay warm bro.

M. M. Wright

If you prefer the look of the older 99s w/ walnut and tapered octagon bbl.: https://i.imgur.com/aR6jPYY.jpg I found this one at the last Wanamacher. It's a 308 engraved Savage Arms on left and Model 1895 on right. I guess they were made in 1995. Would look better with a tang sight. I don't remember ...

M. M. Wright

Wow! How many of those left handed SAAs does John have? Or should I call them right handed since many think the Colts were designed by a lefty? I really like that Bisley too.

M. M. Wright

To bad he came breach. Or do all truck drivers come that way?

M. M. Wright

Come soon Lord Jesus!

M. M. Wright

Do we get a field/range report soon? Beautiful rifle.

M. M. Wright

6, No 22s for me any more. Neighbor's son-in-law was treed last fall by a huge black boar hog while bow hunting. We have cougars too since our deer population is so dense. There is even the occasional bear sighting so the 44 WCF is a comfort to me.

M. M. Wright

Just in the last year I decided on a 73 SRC in 44-40. It's been my favorite cartridge for over 50 years and I have several Colt SAAs in that caliber for companions. Usually I just pack a pistol when I go to my shop but often I pick up the 73 which sits in corner near my bed stand. I keep 10 in it an...

My buddy and I rented a log cabin while we were going to summer school. He got a flying squirrel out of a hollow tree and raised it in our cabin. It would spend half the night climbing the curtains and flying down to my bed. They don't make smooth landings. Pretty scarce around here now. They're pro...

I had a full career in manufacturing and took a job teaching in the local Jr. College. Went back to school to get a teaching degree at 50. I enjoyed the experience of spending my summers in school, living in a dorm and eating in the cafeteria with the football team. You can do it man!

M. M. Wright

I like Taurus but my Buckmark is pettier.

M. M. Wright

Very nice bro.

M. M. Wright

You're just one lucky (blessed) guy.

Ken was a member of the Sons of the Pioneers when Leonard Sly (Roy Rogers) was their leader. Played in several movies with the Pioneers too.

We've got 5 of the bottom panel. Well one dumps flower pots and then eats the pots.

M. M. Wright

Go to a big gun show and look for 2nd gen Colt. I bought a 2nd Dragoon for $200 and a brand new Army for the same price in the box. You just gotta look for them. 62 Police I had to pay 3 times that but they are sorta scarce. Watch the SASS classifieds but yeah, you need one. Or two.

M. M. Wright

My house has three of them. Alas.

M. M. Wright

That's about 100 lbs. more than the one I killed this year. Congratulations!

M. M. Wright

Here's my latest investment in precious metal.

M. M. Wright

I still work up primed brass ready for powder and bullet on one of my Herters presses unless it's for pistol cal that we shoot a bunch of. Then it's the Dillon 550. The Dillon powder measure is very accurate Earl. Almost equal to the old Herters. I actually have 2 Herters presses but 1 stays set up ...

I installed a Howell Fuel injection system on my CJ7. Howell used a GM 4.3L throttle body in the kit, it worked very well.

That's what I've been working on for the last couple of months. Had to change out the nozzles to ones from a 4.3 to get it to run right.

M. M. Wright

My poor old body has deteriorated to the point where I can no longer traipse over hill and dale at will so decided to get a 4X4 something for off road. Found this YJ for the price of the wheels and tires so bought it even though it didn't run. Someone had attempted a GM TBI (throttle body injection)...

M. M. Wright

Thanks Blaine. I'm considering a replacement for a 4" 1911 that walked off from my bookcase recently and this looks like a viable contestant.

M. M. Wright

Hey 6, thanks for that vid of the guy with all that firepower. I don't envy him much cause how many employees does he have to keep everything running? Impressive. Pitchy, I've never seen so many different types of sharpeners. I use a big disc sander mostly or I have a pointer on my electric eraser f...

M. M. Wright

Thanks Blaine, I needed some levity. I've been suffering with a sore knee and hip the last several days to go with my pneumonia.

M. M. Wright

It's a shame but you will always remember it. I agree the peep on the 25-35 is very near the eye but probably not a problem on that caliber. I'm sure my SRC is lighter and it's kinda like shooting a rim magnum. I have a rolling block in 11.7 x 51R that taps my glasses every shot with the tang sight ...

M. M. Wright

Welcome! I own way too many but my opinion is classic means Winchester. Classic cowboy means saddle ring carbine. '92 or '73? Recently I got the urge for a '73 SRC in 44-40 that had a decent bore so I could make it my "truck gun". Old Winchesters are too pricey to beat up but the Miroku made ones sa...

M. M. Wright

At 45 I was as fit as a Mallee bull. At 60 I feel like I've had the stuffing stomped out of me by a Mallee bull. It all comes down to the live you've lived, if you've lived a hard life, it's gonna catch up with you sooner or later. I agree with that, years of riding a hard tail Harley for thousands...

M. M. Wright

I'll be 80 in March and man do I feel it. I got a new knee a year ago in October and now the other one is acting up 'til I have to use a walker. Had bypass surgery to get ready for the new knee. I've had surgery on both shoulders and have a pacemaker but I've got a 9 year old to get into college so ...

M. M. Wright

You're right Blaine, but I think that "alien" is used mostly to mean "extra terrestrial".
