Re: Model 1886 in 40-65
Thanks Rube but remember, I've been at this heavy since 1972 when lots of his stuff was still around sitting in gun shops, local auctions, and estate sales. It has been a life long journey filled with lots of fun and a better investment than any 401K fund. :D I am sure you def. get better returns t...

Re: Model 1886 in 40-65
Win40-82, Excellent looking 86. The 86 is a gun that I have always dreamed about and wanted but have yet to actually get one of any year or caliber.
Sixgun, Every time you post a photo I spend 10 min looking at not only the great rifle pictured but all the goodies in the background also.

Re: WTT: RCBS Carbide .45 Colt Dies
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.

Re: WTT: RCBS Carbide .45 Colt Dies
I'd rather trade them for some other stuff. I think I paid about 65.00 or so for them. I could prob. go a little cheaper than that though just to not have extra in .45. I don't really have use for this set. I have never used this set at all.

Rube, I agree -- really nice "build," and you sure chose a fine caliber. Back when I was swaging jacketed bullets, I swaged a 220-grain soft point .379 slug specifically for the Marlin Cowboy that was briefly in production, and it was spectacularly accurate. If that Numrich barrel is .375 in the gr...

Does the target have to be printed in black?
My ink is low and I guess it mixed other colors when printing and the black came out orange-ish. Would that be an unfair advantage?
