Very nice.

Don't you just love when you can work out a problem and end up with a great shooter

Well glad the fellow had his Winchester close by.

Sad news indeed. Will miss his videos. Thoughts and prayers with his family and friends who will feel his loss even more.

Looking good

What took them so long to make the rule? We've been under those restrictions for months! Not real sure. We spiked a while back and they started coming down. They asked people to wear them a while back. Many do but many don't. Kind of starting to see a rise again. Our worst city was New Orleans. The...

Hey Rube....that's my kind of humor! Well done! . "Hi yo silver" :D Yea....relax....it's the same stupidity everywhere........I figure it's easier to stay home and order online because we all know "who" the majority of spreaders and recipients are. Let em protest One of the few good things about be...

It is hard to get everyone on the same page here because of all the ridiculous inconsistencies. Mom and Pops stores were order closed but larger chain businesses like Wal-Mart and Home Depot were jammed packed. This only hurt small business owners. Closed down bars but big casinos can still operate ...

Nice. Should be fun in .45 Colt. One of my favorite calibers and very versatile.

Rube Burrows

I have had a fair amount of experience with that mount. Not on a rifle but on a pistol. Back in the early to mid 1980's, I had a gunsmith/dealer friend of mine who drilled and tapped the barrel of my Smith and Wesson model 41 and mounted that very same swing over mount. For those that don't know, t...

Rube Burrows

Got the mount in and then purchased a Weaver K4 60 Series scope. It’s all mounted up now and ready to go sight in.

Thanks to all who commented and offered advise and information.

One of the greats and such a nice guy. True patriot and Christian.

Hope you'll post some pics of the builds as you go.

I always find canes fascinating but thankfully I don't have a use for one. It is always neat to see some of the interesting canes though.

41. Been shooting my whole life just about. Dad was Chief of Police when I was younger and in the National Guard so I grew up about shooting.

Rube Burrows

Pretty nice rifle. I love the 38-55 even though it gave me fits for a while.

Rube Burrows

I have 6 wester gunbelts and holster and holster combos. They are just hanging over one of my guncarts in my closet. Some I have not used in years. Once in a blue moon I may take them out and rub them down with some Justin Boot Leather Conditioner that I have. Other than that I don't really have any...

Rube Burrows

Very nice group there.

Rube Burrows

Glad it all worked out for you and no one was injured.

Rube Burrows

This is the gun that I redone. It was my father in law's gun. He tends to be hard on his guns. This one was left in a box stand for years. He gave it to me and it sat for a while then I decided to redo the metal as best as I could. The photos are not the best. I had to pull these from another page I...

Rube Burrows

My experience with them has proven to me they're plenty close for hunting use. But bench rest the gun and it will show a slight variance that would only be an issue for accurate target work. Not what they were designed for anyway. Good deal. Looking forward to finally mounting a scope to this one.

The 1851 is closer in size, wt/ & balance to the Colt SAA.
Indeed! Tough to compare an 1851 Colt to any of the alphabet model S&W revolvers. Just so different that even if the weight was identical, the feel in your hand is completely different.

100%.

Rube Burrows

With modern optics being darn near as reliable as iron sights, and me never going on an extended hunting trip where I couldn't just walk back home and get another gun, I never really messed with the 'backup sights' options, but the Weaver 'Tip-off' system always looked sensible. The only firearm I ...

Rube Burrows

Rube, my Dad’s 03 in 06 had a similar set up for several decades. He never had a problem with it The year he died I took it for a sit and that scope was accurate enough in that setup. A nice Weaver k4 or an older leupold m6 would be just right for that rifle. Good to hear. I will also look into the...

Agreed. To me, its the most natural pointing firearm. Such a wonderful weapon.

Rube Burrows

I went ahead and purchased it and figure I will give it a try.

Now, I'll be on the look out for a vintage scope.

Rube Burrows

Sweet. Here is my newest Cimarron. 1851 Navy Conversion.

Rube Burrows

Praying for him and you all.

Rube Burrows

I would def compare them more to a k frame. I don't own a S&W at the moment to compare them too but I do have a few 1851s.

Here is a photo of my 51 Navy Conversion

Rube Burrows

The one I have has a piece of spring steel on the rings that snaps it in place when the scope is in use. Does yours have that piece of spring steel? The one I have does return to zero, but it also seems to flop around a bit when I use the iron sights. The rifles I've had mine on don't get shot a lo...

Rube Burrows

I am looking to top my Vintage Remington 742 with a Vintage style scope and scope mount/rings. I came across these and was wondering if anyone has any experience with them? Looks like you mount the scope in the rings and you can pivot the scope out of the way to use the iron sights for close shots a...

When Earnhardt died from the wreck at Daytona in February of 2001 I sorta stopped watching then slowly I came back . But now the powers that be at NASCAR have caved for this BS in Minneapolis. Today or yesterday they announced something to the affect “flags of the Confederacy are not allowed on any...

The covid virus hit home for me when I realized it had killed more US citizens in a few weeks than the Vietnam War (58,220). It has now killed nearly twice that number in US. Tell me how this is considered "BS " Well I won't call it BS but I will say that I know that ANY death during this time may ...

Rube Burrows

Good to hear. I have been thinking about getting one at some point.

Rube Burrows

That is a beautiful shotgun. Looks like the restoration job was done nicely.

Rube Burrows

Great shooting.
How do you like your star size/luber?

I love seeing you guys who will display your guns in open wooden racks and other various ways. I don't trust neighbors enough to do that. Maybe if my house was set up different or more away from neighbors I would be more inclined to do so. Great look. Hey Rube! Nice to see you stopped by for a visi...

That's cool as all get out, Tom! And don't you believe that 6-guy. None of it's true. So....what you doin' this weekend? Up for a visit? Kind of a chill in the air. I better wear a heavy coat. :D I love seeing you guys who will display your guns in open wooden racks and other various ways. I don't ...

Rube Burrows

those conversions are so much fun....I have one just like yours and it is amazingly accurate, will out shoot most of the rest of my 38s and 357s ! Good to know. I was hoping to get out and shoot it today but I am still working so I doubt it will happen today. I will just load up some more bullets f...

Rube Burrows

I always liked the lines of the RM conversion - particularly with the longer barrel. And with Uberti's Charcoal Blue finish. Not so durable perhaps, but a very pretty revolver. -Stretch Agreed. They also wear nice after some good honest use.

Neat pistol Rube. I always liked the looks of the 71 open top Colt's. Is it one that came from the factory in the conversion style or was it converted by a smith later.

It came from the factory converted. Got it from Cimarron out of Texas.

Nice! The 51 definitely has a feel. Nothing like it. I borrowed a 51 conversion from a friend when my youngest son was in 5th grade. He had done a book report on a guy in the Civil War and was tasked with making a video. We used to like "pushing the envelope" with schools, so I loaded up some 38 bl...

Very nice. I want to get one with the loading gate some day.

For sure. I almost decided to just add the conversion cylinders to my 1851s currently in my collection but decided if I was going to do it I might as well have the ease of the loading gate also.

Rube Burrows

I have the 1860 Army 44 with the Kirst Converter in 45 Colt. Love it. But I really appreciate the handling of the Navies. Nothing points better. I want to get my hand on one of those at some point. The 1860 Army has a larger grip and I am not sure if I would like it better or prefer the Navy since ...

Here in the UK I could still buy cap n ball revolvers, just a couple more hoops to jump through but then they are still restricted to where they can be legally used :roll: the conversion to metallic cartridges however is a no go here... :evil: the last open top revolver I had was the little 1849 po...
