IIRC, the 165 was the original bullet weight as it was considered the "best" but later tastes, a need to compete with other brands such as the .303 Savage and so forth they moved to the 150s and 170s as "standards" although other weights in specialty loads were sold.

There are several instances of years between a number being applied and shipped. In one instance a .32 WS was built on a first year receiver.

I'm fine with the factory butt plate. My shoulder is non-descript as well. Put a pad on it? No thank you.

Hobie,,,, the friction ring has a steel ring between the recoil spring and the friction ring. It has a bevel one side and is flat the other side. The bevel side presses under recoil the friction material harder onto the magtube, this setting is for heavy loads and actually the felt recoil is worse ...

Nobody bird hunts around here any more but they all complain that the Franchi guns kick. I don't get it myself but that is the word on them. I remember seeing and handling one in a shop back in 1972. I was in love! What a sweet little thing. My opinion hasn't changed since then. I'm pretty envious o...

Prayers said!

You are worried because you don't have a suitable pistola in that rig. I coulda sworn you had such a gun but that's not what's in it in the photo. That will balance it out and make it safe for the cattle to look at.

Not only in a Trapper but also in a COLOR CASED receiver Trapper and standard. CDNN had them for as little as $450 or so and I didn't get one at the time. SHOULD have....

Well guys, I am impressed. You so ticked off the fella that he went back and conscientiously removed every post's content.

What you have looks nice indeed but $25K!?! Our range has a padlock. Works fine.

NICE rifles (but you KNOW that!). When is the missus going to be over here or is she already (sorry, CRS).

I am a fan of the 2½X.

6ptsitka said that the 210 gr. bullet he was using (the XTP?) didn't work so hot out of the carbine but I haven't had a problem, yet. (Murphy is out there somewhere, I know) In the first place you obviousely skimmed what I wrote ! First off their is NO "T" in "sika" PERIOD ! Sec...

Why? Just 'cause. 'Cause they are fun, shoot great and the the cartridge in a rifle rivals the .35 Rem.

If nobody reads it it stays in the Outbox.

Some of you have asked so I'm just going to post it here for all to see.

I remember when about the only way to call home during an overseas tour was via MARS, now Jeremy can post to a forum like this from a real backwater. Amazing.

IIRC, it was 13.7gr of AA #9. I was using a Denver Bullets 295gr lead alloy SWC, same bullet I used in my Ruger "silver hornpipe" super blackhawk.

The powder became lawn fertilizer when I got home.

Thanks to JohndeFresno I found it.

J miller Brand new can of powder Charge was way too low ,I found out later Hardly any recoil when it blew, thing I noticed was the flash. More recoil on the first 5. So not too much powder, too little. I weighed every charge and visually inspected powder level in each case. May not convince you it ...

That is beautiful. Give me a ring when you decide to get rid of it (as I know you will... :wink: :lol: ). Seriously, that is beautiful and just the right bore...

Prayers said for the Kelly family. They have our heartfelt condolences.

I tried to consolidate some of that info here. These are fine rifles. You will enjoy it!

Cool. Winchester Power Point is the best .22 LR HP round bar none.

I would want to know the specifics of the load, i.e. primer, powder, charge and bullet. Some people seem to think things are identical when they are not. They never did well at the kindergarten game of how is one thing not like the other.

I think I've seen AJ elsewhere. Not sure on OJ. Need to look him up.

I have a Marbles on the 1906 Winchester and it has been fine. I did not like the fit of a couple of the new Lyman #2s I saw although others were ok. I have an OLD #2 on the 62A and I like the Marbles for adjustability. HOWEVER, I put a receiver sight on my SRC for the same reasons the tang sight was...

I actually don't have one on the '76. Maybe they would make a WGRS to use the dust cover rail.

That's a very nice looking carbine, typical of a quality Uberti product. I've been interested in seeing one of those in person but it hasn't happened yet. I'm curious as to how much the barrel heats up after firing a magazine full of ammo. I had a Winchester 94 Musket in .30-30 that would heat up w...

Firewood!

Welcome. First, the quality is just fine as it is a genuine Winchester and the condition (which is what you likely meant to say) is what would be expected for a rifle of that age that was used but cared for. The other information given is fine as far as it goes but this really requires some reading ...

I have bought, picked and been picked by dogs. They have been smart, stupid, energetic, and lazy. Never had a bad one. Maybe I'm not critical enough.

Brutal?

Purty!

We have one in .30 cal at the shop. It sure comes to the shoulder nicely.

You got a lot done in just 4:17! I can almost smell it!!

I am going to point out that it is "Harrisonburg" not "Harrisburg". Harrisburg is in PA.

Gotta watch that spell check!

I have used Speers, Sierras, Hornadys, Winchester PPs & STPs, and Remington CoreLokt. One is about as accurate as the other and all will do the job. I do believe that the old Sierras (those that were .307") would penetrate more due to the smaller meplat but they also gave about 100 fps more...

30 minutes north of Harrisonburg, VA? Well, welcome! I'm 30 minutes south. There's a range on the National Forest off US 33 but I think it is on the WV side. There's one indoor range on the south side of the Friendly City, Top Gun.

Cool. When do you Californians have to register/get licensed to buy ammo?
