If I'm not mistaken, both are built by Uberti. You can probably get any question about the 1876 Centennial you wish over at CAS City 1876 Forum.

They sure look unique and am curious as to what you did to them?

Griff

Nice scope... hope you like the stand that comes with it.

Griff

Those bowls are BEAUTIFUL! Yep, they should be in an art shop... priced way above my pay grade. I believe that Homefront is right. Doin' what you love, brings you peace and has results that are as gorgeous as those, is way better than punchin' any time clock!

Griff

Welcome to the Forum. Excellent first post.

Hmmm... titanium firing pin for the Rossi.... Spare oversize locking lugs for the Win 94... ahhh, the ideas keep comin'!

Nope, and the Hotchkiss is full. I'm staying at the Best Western in Delta, about 12 miles west. Oughta be fun. Now that Andy's bailed me out of my powder problem... I'll be loading boolits tomorrow!

Do believe you got a bargain! A good shooter no one is likely to steal!

I just love these rich guys who tell you to pitch everything. Did you check the shell holder in the priming tool? That should give you a clue as to what you primmed the last time. Large Rifle Primers are taller than Large Pistol Primers. Open a box of each and measure them. Check the colors on the ...

The September '08 issue of Shooting Times has a neat article on black powder by Micheal E. Bussard. Informative, well-written, and puts forth some good hypotheses.

Hopefully this article will make it into the archives on their website.

Talking about The Rifleman, and those two kids shooting up over 20,000 rounds in a month got me to thinking, which anyone can tell you is dangerous. Have any of you tried modifying a levergun to fire on closing the lever? No, and while it tempts me every once in a while, I don't really have the des...

This has been a very interesting thread. I've been looking at buying a bike for many years, and have had many offers to buy someone's good ride when they've decided to move on to another.

I found one in Iowa several years ago... the old boy had a 1924 mfgd Winchester 1894 rifle OCFM in .30WCF and a Colt 4-¾" .22, wanted $250 for each, I only had $225... "your choice", he said... stupid me.

Oh you guys are too much. This thread had me gaffawing loudly!

Slick13, this shoulda been a clue:

General Discussion
Welcome to the Leverguns.Com Forum. This is a high-class place so act respectable. We discuss most anything here ... politely.

Griff

Give these guys a call... Classic Guns, Inc., but remember, you need to blue the receiver and barrel separately. I've still got some work to do on my projects, but will be having them color case harden my post '64 projects.

Griff

I don't know of a commercial product that will successfully re-blue the scintered steel receivers of the post -64 Winchesters of that era. I've used a cold blue for touchup purposes, but even those will be particularly noticeable to the keen eye. Depending on the amount coverage you're lookin' to co...

Griff

And here I thought you were going to suggest something mundane, like... move!

Really give 'em something to think about... buy a "Mare's Leg"!

Griff

That's a super lookin' project. Love the pistol grip detail. Are ya gonna checker it?

Griff

I only have one levergun scoped, that's a Marlin 375 with an old Weaver K4-1 atop it. Only one has a peep sight (tang), the balance all have factory irons. Never felt the need to have glass on any except that one.

Griff

Glad to hear you're ok. Let's see, no sense of direction, unwilling to listen to voice of reason, poor driving skills... 3 strikes - you're out! I certainly wouldn't ride to the grocery store with 'im, let alone out in the boonies!

Ditto, and congratulations. What's your intent for #500?

Terry, you old crumudgeon! :P But, in some respects he's right. Most guys I know that reload do not do necessarily to save money, but rather, to custom tailor their ammo to their needs. I do both... I load a number of bullet styles in a couple of calibers and to really save any serious green, I feel...

Well... that's a can of worms! :twisted: Kinda like askin' a fellar what .22 ammo is best. But... I'll try to answer to the best of my recollection and information. The 1886 will be length sensitive.
