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...

It is pretty impressive in count sixula’s dungeon ain’t it?

Oh yeah, for sure.

Rube Burrows

Great stories and great upbringing. Ahhhhhh the good ole days.

Rube Burrows

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.

Shipped?

Sure. If it helps someone out I will do them 50.00 net to me shipped.

Rube Burrows

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. Darn if it ain't my luck. I just ordered a set of 38-55 dies from MidwayUSA. Figured I would use the birthday discount a...

Rube Burrows

Will sell for 50.00

Rube Burrows

I have a Numrich 38-55 barrel, I've yet to fit to a model 94, my groove diameter is .375 with a 1 in 14 twist. regards Dallas Seems mine keeps measuring out to .376. I measured it a few different ways trying to keep each side of the calipers on a land and my most consistent measurement comes out to...

Rube Burrows

February 8, 2019 Dear Mr. Burrows, Welcome to the cult of the .38/55. I am sure you will have a great time handloading and shooting the old “pumpkin roller”. I have been loading for and shooting a rifle very similar to yours for over fifteen years. Mine started life as .30-30 circa 1940. The previo...

Rube Burrows

Great looking rifle and sounds like it is a real shooter.

How much for the 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.

I would like to see if anyone out there has a set of carbide 38-55 dies that they would want to trade for a brand new set of .45 colt dies?
I've never heard of a 38-55 carbide die set, hopefully someone else has.

I realized that after I posted. Thanks for pointing that out.

Rube Burrows

Happy Day Of Birth ole pal, Tom

Rube Burrows

I will have to check when I get back home this weekend. I bought the starline long brass for whatever reason I decided was wise 😂 after reading the excellent article on their website. I load for a Marlin Cowboy and a Moroku/Win 1885. I am using The Missouri 245 grain bullet. I found the long starli...

That is the barrel that I have so it is prob. the same. I plan on slugging it soon just to be sure.

Rube Burrows

A while back I accidentally bought two sets of .45 Colt Dies. I was supposed to send one back but waited too late so I have an extras set of the .45 colt Dies. I don't need two sets. They have never even been in a press before. Still brand new in the box. I would like to see if anyone out there has ...

For hunting I use Barnes Original 255 gr in .377 caliber.

For cast I have a Lyman .379 bullets but really haven't shot my Chief Crazy Horse rifle in several years....too much work and no play.

Thanks for the info and I know the feeling of too much work and not enough play.

Rube Burrows

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...

Thanks. Checking now.

Rube Burrows

Hey everyone. I have not been on in a while. Been pretty focused lately on my tintype and ambrotype photography. Hope everyone has been good. That said, I put together this Post 64 Winchester 94 a few years ago. It started out life as a 1979 20" Carbine 30-30. I had a couple hundred rounds of 38-55 ...

Rube Burrows

Beautiful rifles guys. I would love to pick up a new 1873 but I think I still want a 1886 so bad so I may do that first.

Rube Burrows

Such a gentleman. I met him once and wrote to him once to which he responded with a signed photo of him from the Cheyenne days. I enjoy his shows.

RIP big fellow.

Rube Burrows

Horrible. No one likes a thief.

I hope he is found out and prosecuted.

I have been pretty lucky with all of my net dealings here and other online places.

Good luck.

Rube Burrows

Oh the suspense.

Great looking shooters, Griff.

Rube Burrows

Something else you'll see if you watch closely is they will take the forearm off of a 92 rifle and call it a Henry rifle.

Rube Burrows

I heard the town of Big Whiskey, Wyoming ran out of 30-30 cartridges in 1881. Josh Randall carried 45-70 cartridges for his 92 mare's leg. On a side note, why do scope reticles always look so ridiculously unfunctional in movies? Why can't they just film through a $30 BSA from Walmart instead of mak...

Rube Burrows

Sometimes a little knowledge can mess something up. I was watching an old John Wayne western movie that took place at the beginning of the Civil War. But John Wayne was shooting a Colt SA, 1873? (all his guns had the ejector housing on the lower right side of the barrel). Also when he was really sh...

Rube Burrows

I want one of these so darn bad. Just haven't been able to find a decent deal around me for one.

Rube Burrows

Two very beautiful rifles. The top one is the style I fancy more but both beautiful nonetheless.

Rube Burrows

Man, that's awesome. Both the deal you got on the rifle and the Gatlin Gun.

Rube Burrows

Happy Near Year everyone. I hope that each of your 2018 is great for you in every way.

Rube Burrows

Looks like a great time. I absolutely love the cold weather but here in South Louisiana we are lucky if we have more than 2 days of cold weather at a time and that is usually in the high 30s morning and by lunch time its back up to short sleeve weather. It did come a pretty good snow here though a c...

Rube Burrows

Have always enjoyed reading about Mosby. When I was 17 I named my Grey 86 Chevy 4x4 pickup after him. "Grey Ghost"

Rube Burrows

Merry Christmas to you.

Rube Burrows

Merry Christmas everyone. I have not been able to be on in a while. Work has been crazy but our family had a very blessed Christmas and year in general. Wishing you all the best in the coming new year.

Rube Burrows

Beautiful rifle.

Rube Burrows

That rope target should be interesting.

Rube Burrows

Niiiice

Rube Burrows

This was pretty easy... Congrats Rube Burrows... mighty fine shootin'! I've posted up the October match, it'll take a few days to get it pinned up at the top like previous months, but feel free to print off a few targets and get out shootin' again. Like the previous matches, this one is to be shot ...

Very nice shooting Rube! Looks like September is closing fast, I need to get out, Sunday starts October.

Thanks. I'm going to try some different guns for the October match. It was fun having an actual purpose while out shooting.

Rube Burrows

Good looking rifle.

Rube Burrows

They make a tool for compressing the spring but I usually use an old fork and a paper clip. They can be boogers for sure.

Rube Burrows

That was some outstanding shooting! :mrgreen: If you're talking about mine, thanks. I sure hope that more people get out there and shoot and submit their targets. I've got three more of them to get ready, but am only proud of one... :cry: Submit them. I only had enough light to get two targets shot...

Here are two inshot today. My printer's ink was running low so after the first one it went into an ink save mode and the second one came out orange. I was losing light fast and I can say that the orange one was much easier to see (at least at that time of day). I hit the target all ten times. The bl...

I'm going to say "no"?

I shot a black one and an orange one. I was losing light fast and I can say that the orange one was much easier to see (at least at that time of day).

The black one I was having trouble seeing my shots so adjusting was more difficult.

Rube Burrows

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?

Rube Burrows

Thanks. I'll try that. I have been logged in forever here up until recently and now every time I have to log back in. Quite aggravating.
