Great find! I like the character and differences of retro 22's they certainly werent just kids rifles. Mossberg offered several and are fun to research. Have fun

Galloway

I like the matte stainless and 4'' barrel now. Just say it was rare weather guard finish colt offered in the eighties if anyone teases you lol

Galloway

With the current renewed interest in lever guns and as nostalgic as this generation seems to be, id love to see that return to production someday. I'd take one in 22, 25 and 303 hey i can dream

Galloway

I wonder if pressure might even be lower? Or allow some variance like free bore in a magnum rifle chamber.

Galloway

Yikes! Save that last shot..

Galloway

That is great news. I hope they'll offer some shorter barrels this time around for us iron sight shooters. I had a super 14 that was about like trying to steady a mares leg 92 offhand lol.

Galloway

Whats interesting to me 1886 carbines had CC receivers until around 1901, the top one shown appears to be blued. Ive never seen a special order blued 1886 carbine yet but this may be the first?

Galloway

I think the 44special is among the best cartridge for outdoor use, but the days of the Saturday night special or switchblade armed holdup man are long gone. Todays thugs attack in multiples with glocks and 30rd stick mags. On the rare occasion i carry its usually a 5 shot 38 but i dont pretend for a...

Galloway

I adore my pencil barrel 4'' model 10 which shoots just as good as my k38 i paid big bucks for. Over 6 million made and ive never seen one that didnt hit within and inch of poa. Too bad none of my vaqueros have

Galloway

Does anyone know the particulars as to why he left? And were those videos shot on his land or blm? It appeared to be paradise.

Galloway

Quite a in depth and well researched piece. Nothing demonstrates expertise and authority like a husky man laughing hysterically after every shot shooting household items one handed a 5 yards lol. Cant wait for the book to come out!

Galloway

I have two 7.5'' that i enjoy. The sights are a bit hard to see one handed at arms length but they run great with black powder. Poi for mine is pretty close with smokeless but around 3 to 4 inches high with black using around 30gr fff and a 200gr bullet. With the sun behind me and blacked out sights...

Galloway

Is poi a problem for you with those fixed sights and magnums? Ive always wanted a fixed sight 83

Galloway

Great guns Jim i miss the color case Rossis and regret not grabbing a 24''. I too shoot 14.5 under a 158jhp everything you need including room under max.

Galloway

Remember fellas, probably half of the "shooting community" can't shoot that proficiently with any gun...

Hitting is overrated anyway, mag changes are how you get the chicks nowadays

Galloway

Great looking gun but my word 1150? Folks will be showing of their 1100 dollar 10/22s in a few years.

Galloway

I'd like to hear what the bullet and powder were in the OP..

Galloway

Ive had that happen to a few uberti's and have always been able to smooth face out with diamond paper and keep them shooting. I suspect it has more to with with dry firing and mainspring pressure than the load since i was shooting black only in those days fyi. That 231 load sounds like a nice one.

Galloway

Id say the old police loading is pretty much a 41Keith, which does not kick as bad a the 44 fyi. 200gr at 1000fps should kick less than a hot loaded model 25 which is a lighter gun.

Galloway

Are the rims smaller than regular 41 colts?

Galloway

My 86 is the same way, feels clubby in hand not at all sleek and winchester esq.

Galloway

Does anyone know why he went with Seville frames instead of Rugers initially?

Galloway

Thanks guys, the ones im referring to are offered by meister, oregon trail, rimrock, missouri river etc.

Galloway

Whats that standard old 158gr swc all the cast bullet companies offer a bulk 500rd box of? Any story or history there? Was it a match winner or gold standard at one time? Never heard any reasoning as to its popularity. Thanks

Galloway

Ah what a fine example of the pocket gun some say really tamed the west. Sold 10 to 1 against the holster models yet never captured the imagination of grand dad.

Galloway

I kinda wonder if the old 73s could handle a shot or two of them per season, and folks never knew any wiser?

Galloway

So the questions is how many pesos for the new marlin

? Actually i dont care im just gonna read Hell I was There and Unrepentant Sinner till I die lol.

Galloway

I predict the marlins will be offered in limited runs like the no. 1 are. I dont think they intend to compete with henry. I also think its a sad state that a laminated stainless guide gun is the predicted money maker of marlins extensive and highly acclaimed past catalog. Heck i was hoping for a new...

Galloway

Wonderful rifle and love that Creedmoor portrait. Does anyone know if you could shoot prone at long range at those matches?

Galloway

Wow it looks like you dialed it right in! Did you brush when you changed to jacketed bullets? I'd love to see a 50 yard follow up if you ever get the chance.

Galloway

Does anyone know if chiappa still makes the 1892 clones? I remember looking at a 44 and 45 a few years back in 24'' sporting version and they were gorgeous.

Galloway

For me its all about the convenience of using the lee dippers. I can make 50rds in 30 minutes in any caliber. You can probably guess my loads. I get 3g or 4.5gr bullseye, 8gr unique, 13gr or 20.7gr of 2400. I do pretty much everything with those 5 dippers and 3 powders except bottleneck rifle and bl...

Galloway

Hmm, so what i get from that is standard 44 mag load data can be used in a 44wcf as long as its in a 92 or stronger action. Is that right?

Galloway

My 357 target load is meant to mimic my hunting load cheaper and easier. I use a dipper that throws 13gr 2400 in a mag case with mag primer then deep seat a bulk 158gr swc (not a good one) and crimp over the front driving band. I see no change of poi out to 50 yards from my max jhp loads. So its red...

Galloway

Wonderful rifle! Sorry to hear of you sight woes, I get upset when im over a grand on a rifle, only to find all that quality wasted because the sights are useless. So like the mfg will tell you, ''Good luck you'll get it sighted in!"

Galloway

Great looking pair ya got there! Do you shoot full power loads out of those things? Never really understood the demand for the old 44 super vaqueros.

Galloway

I've been browsing some distributor websites and have noticed they all got a couple winchester models and a few marlins and then a ton of various henrys available. Lever actions are sort of a niche market now days, it seems odd that a newer player who started out making 22's and borrowing from the h...

Galloway

Sorry im new to all this, would someone please fill me in on what was said or provide us a link please?

Galloway

In theory yes

Galloway

I wonder if ruger made some new large frames, or if its old stock put together for that run?

Galloway

Nice gun and great story!
