Few pictures of issue

Pat C

Well Rustyjack on rimfire central figured out my problem or at least part of it. Apparently some wise guy years back drilled or dremmeled some out of the bottom of my carrier. Possibly thinking of fitting longer 22 WMR MAG . I bought the rifle several years ago on gunbroker and got rooked. I now nee...

Anybody have an Winchester 1890 in 22 WRF ?
Mine is misbehaving and need some comparison measurments.

Pat C

I almost bid on that ASM Navy Colt with custom front sight. It went reasonable. Trying to work a deal on something else though.

Anouther from today sitting position at 25 yards

Pat C

1st year production 1939 with color cased receiver.

Pat C

Yes Friday was a nice day , only had time for 10 shot group but was enjoyable anyway.

Pat C

From the WRA 1914 catalog.

Interestingly some eastern states have minimum muzzle energy for pistol caliber rounds 44 WCF just barely squeeze by in most cases. Certainly wouldn't be my choice even close range. 30 WCF was always considered minimum for hunting deer in my part of the country. I used to take 38WCF 1892 turkey hunt...

Pat C

You forgot 44 WCF

Pat C

Nice, I had Brownells forcing cone kit years ago it did a beautiful job . I did a number of Colts and repro Colts. Ended up selling it and now I wish I had it back . I need to cut my Police Positive right now.

Pat C

Howdy Jim, This single action belonged to John Taffin .Do you remember seeing it? Trying to determine the make.
Not Colt unless heavily modified . Thinking Spanish or some other repro.

Pat C

The stock requires a special spanner socket which I made from 11mm socket was perfect.

Pat C

After changing the rear angle at front of stock it now fits tight against frame .So no stress on the mortise area.

One of these days Im going to spring for one of Jim Kiblers mountain rifle kits. Probably some of the best traditional kits made today.

I absolutely love mine!

Big $$$ ?

They grow on you

Pat C

On the cheap Im wondering about old H&R 949

Pat C

The bore is shiney but has a few pitted areas. I believe it will be a fine shooter. I always examine fired cases and the five shot had a deep dent/ drag mark at 4 o'clock.Got a good look and right side extractor cut at chamber was dented up into chamber mouth. Used the chamber swage and stoned the c...

Pat C

I absolutely love finding these on classics in need of some TLC and bringing them back. This is a fun shooter , Ill pick up more SV ammo see what it will do .

Pat C

Still anouther crack on top I found but is super tight . Will need a needle injection bottle.

Pat C

There was a .014 gap at top half of stock , those uneven pressure probably caused the breaks/crackd. Set up and adjusted the angle took a skim cut now it fits flush with back of frame.

Nice article 2002 Shoot Mag

Pat C

Yes that's a different animal all together. There are two 44 WCF AWA on Colt Forum. $768 per each. With holsters.

Pat C

Good price , AWA Purchased ASM in Italy which made at time closest copy of Colt SAA. the AWA parts were sent to USA fir final work and genuine bone charcoal color case . Colt sued them for name PEACEKEEPER and ultimately they went out of buisness.

Pat C

Make sure its adjustable with slot .The solid die probably want change anything. Plus you will need to polish thread tops to match WRA screw too.

Pat C

They are 12-28 but they were designed before industry standards. Some variations exist. I would polish the screw down to Winchester diameter. Try it . If its still too tight buy an adjustable die to chase the screw until it screws in easily. Do NOT modify the Winchester receiver. Another option is b...

Pat C

Got the extractor from Wisners, far as I know it fits as designed? No diagrams or parts assemblies I could compare to.

Pat C

Looks like a nice hunting set up and great photos!

Pat C

I've never handled one until this one .So Im very anxious to get this one finished and on the shooting range.

Pat C

Ill first glue the crack Tgen I'll mill the chipped area out and grain match a piece and glue it in .Then shape it plus stain blend to existing finish.

Pat C

Cool interrupted thread takedown.

Pat C

Got it clean missing extractor which I ordered

Pat C

Cracked stock

Pat C

Very dirty inside

New project 1927 Rremington 24

Pat C

Im wondering if he meant takedown rifles combined with other special order features?

Pat C

This rifle is the bones of an original short rifle. Very very rare. Takedown in itself only 1500-1600 made. 25-20 even rarer. Hello, I am not certain where you came up with the supposed number of Model 1892 takedown rifles were manufactured. I have been working on a research survey of the Model 189...

Pat C

This rifle is the bones of an original short rifle. Very very rare. Takedown in itself only 1500-1600 made. 25-20 even rarer. There are two options. Find correct full length barrel have it shortened to match letter. You'll cut one inch from breach to match short forend. Re thread, chamber. Front cut...

Pat C

The finish wear appears all the way around with concentric scratches. Consistant with steady rest use. My guess barrel was left on frame .

Pat C

Definatly cut , somewhat rough chamfer to crown but the giveaway is the steady rest wear on the area in front of sight.
That is a rare gun I'd be on the lookout for an original uncut barrel . But until then just shoot it.

Pat C

Takedowns in the 1892 are pretty rare , my guess in 25-20 even rarer. I saw one in as new condition at an old gunshop.
Owner wanted $1250 which looking back I should have bought it.

Pat C

It's definatly an original deluxe short rifle but Im fairly certain barrel and tube were cut again. Close up of muzzle and front sight may help

The checkering is what Winchester called (I) style
