Re: Not a lever, but at least has a wood stock
I have always liked that model.
A Mini-14 was one of the first rifles I bought when I was a teenager. I still have it. It's the blue model with the wood on top of the barrel.

Re: Blew my Uberti 1876 up
That may be what happened with the last shot but the 850-fps reading just before the blow up didn't have a bullet exiting or gas escaping through the split because it had not occurred yet. Maybe just the noise somehow made it show a reading. I found a barrel and forearm. I also found a gunsmith that...

Re: Blew my Uberti 1876 up
I drove the bullet out with an Aluminum 2018 arrow shaft. So, the shot before the explosion read around 850fps on this chronograph that I had borrowed. Why was there any reading at all? The bullet did not exit! The gun exploded on the next shot. That shot appeared around 530 fps on the chronograph. ...

Re: Blew my Uberti 1876 up
Yes, I am lucky I have all my fingers. The news gets worse on the gun. I took the forearm cap off and removed the last piece of shattered wood and I can see a split in the bottom flat on the barrel. I could see where powder gas escaped right near the metal forearm cap. I found a new forearm, but I h...

Re: Blew my Uberti 1876 up
Thanks for the tips guys.
If I get the bullet out and it would shoot decent, where could I get a new forearm? I could glue this one back together but there are some small pieces missing.
If I barreled it where would I send it to?

Re: Blew my Uberti 1876 up
I think I know what happened. I shot 6 shots of my 4198 load and all the loads clocked in the 1400's. I tried one 350 grain TenX factory smokeless load and it was a disappointing 1050 fps. I then got one of the old reloads and shot it. It clocked around 850fps. I could not believe it was so slow, so...

Re: Blew my Uberti 1876 up
Wow! That one is demolished!
It is 12" from the bore. It has a long barrel probably 28". 50-95 caliber
I can't see or feel any bulges in the barrel.

Re: Remington Accelerator cartridges...and Charlie Kirk
If he was shot in the neck with a 30-06, I wouldn't think the bullet would be in the body anywhere to be found during the autopsy. Wouldn't it have just went through and lodged in something behind him? Now if it was the accelerator, it would have probably blew into tiny fragments. I think I remember...
