What brand is that lever automatic that you got when searching John Wayne's knife? Its a beauty. It was made by AKC. European red stag handles. I really like it. I bought it online from "3Knives", which is now "The Knife Shop". https://www.knifeshop.com/en/home.html Unfortunatel...

Re: Thoughts on pocket knives: Never leave the house (actually bedroom) without one. You never have to hunt for a knife if it's with you all the time. If a knife is needed, even a poor excuse for one is better than not having one. Someone asks me if I have a knife I reply...... "Do I have my p...

Well, my favorite knives are large bowies, though I admit they are not practical for EDC where I live. :wink: Scott, like you, when I was growing up and all through school, including college, I always had a pocket knife on me. I had several teachers in elementary, middle and high school ask to borr...

I'm a Case XX pocket knife collector and user. Case is what my Grandfather carried. I carry one every day. Usually a 63032 Stockman. That said, I have maybe 10 Buck 110 knives that I have bought over the years.

I saw Weldon Lister post about him and unfortunately, I was not aware of this man or his work. I was puzzled because the only Winston Churchill I every knew of was the former Prime Minister.

Awesome. My fav. Rossi 92 is a 20" also. I'll be shooting 300g and 250g XTPs thought it.

You might want to look at the posted articles on this site. Paco has a particularly good article that addresses this very topic.

Good shooting!

I will look for it. Thanks.

Oh, I bet so. I have been working up a couple hunting loads for my Blackhawk and was thinking it would be great for the Rossi too.

COSteve wrote: ↑Wed Jul 26, 2023 1:00 pm Well, they make a Rossi 1892 in 454 Casull with a SAAMI spec pressure of 50,000 CUP so I'm thinking that .45 Colt Ruger will be a piece of cake for it. Seriously, the Model 92's action design is super strong and it will do fine with a Ruger only load.

I thought so but just wanted to be sure.

Rube Burrows

I am trying to find out if the Rossi 1892 can handle some of the hotter Ruger Only 45 Colt Loads? I have been looking around on the internet to find the safe pressures for the Rossi 92s but having been able to find much on the actual capable pressure limits.

Agreed.

Rube Burrows

The firearms community has lost another good one.

He had been looking frail the last time I saw him on camera. Sad to hear of his passing. Really enjoyed his show over the many years.

Rube Burrows

Fun. I still enjoy the 410 myself.

Rube Burrows

Any photos of the revolver? I have been on a Blackhawk and Super Blackhawk kick here lately.

Rube Burrows

Nice rifle.

Rube Burrows

Nice. I haven't had a Bear Cat in a while but they are great little guns. Last one I had I traded for one of the SASS Red Box Vaquero sets in 45 colt.

Rube Burrows

Would love to visit the area sometime. Thanks for sharing the pics.

Rube Burrows

I really enjoy Bisley-framed Rugers as well. I have three of them; a .44 mag, a .45 Colt and a medium frame .44 spl. I had the barrels on the first two cut down to 5 1/2" and the .44 spl which is a flattop came that way.. Thanks for the link to your video. I am hoping to build a custom .44 spl...

Rube Burrows

Not sure if you mean New Model Super Blackhawk or just a newer one.

Mine was made in 1997 but it is a New Model Bisley. I very much like it. Just shot it for the first time yesterday.

I have been enjoying the heck out of mine. Shoots great and is very accurate.

Thank you. I agree on its purtiness. Glad I was choosen also. Its a fine shooter.

I have 2 of the blued ones,one with a 8 inch barrel and one with a 5 1/2 inch barrel. Really Like them both and they are fun. Also Have 3 extra cylinders for them. Dont shoot them often but when I do its a blast. I have a pair of Pietta Sheriff New Model Army 1858s and a pair of Cimarron New Model ...

Rube Burrows

That's a really good way for them to get their products in the hands of buyers! What they should do is make a special run, number them and each of the folks that were fortunate enough to have it get the number they were. Included should be a book with everyone's notes, pictures etc. Now that would ...

Thanks. I finally got to shoot it Saturday and it was pretty fun. Split a couple cards and shot some others head on.

Rube Burrows

That's a fun project. Good for Pietta. It reminds me of something similar that was thought up a few years ago by muzzleloading rifle maker Roy Stroh. He built a nice hunting rifle -- can't remember if percussion or flint -- named her "Run Around Sue," and shipped her off under similar cir...

I am not sure how many people here are aware of the Brotherhood Of The Traveling 1858 that Pietta has going around right now. I thought I would share a little bit about it here for those who have not heard of it. So, The Brotherhood of the Traveling 1858 is an engraved Pietta New Model Army "18...

Nice.

I gave up on worrying about the blueing long ago. Some seem to be able to carry them without much blue wear, I dont seem able to. It may be partly from the dry abrasive dust from Az and Wy, it permeates everything including holster leather. I also carried my old Smith 29 on my motorcycle a lot back...

Rube Burrows

I see a lot of fine revolvers shared in in pics in various threads on this forum. Do you customarily carry them in a holster and if so, does "holster wear" on the bluing concern you ? I'm looking a my first blued revolver (I own three stainless revolvers), but am not wanting to compromise...

Rube Burrows

Holsters are like many other things in that there need not be any specfice reason to have one rough side out. You'll find people who do them for looks. Some will do it because you get a lined holster without having to use extras leather. Some will copy movies.

Rube Burrows

For the cartridges we talk about on the board, about 98% of them can be hand loaded with cast bullets at or near the speed the factory makes them at. It’s not rocket science to cast or to hand load……I can load a box of 35 Remingtons for about .15 a round from components bought at pre crazy prices. ...

Rube Burrows

I had a very nice Marlin in 35 Remington. I ended up trading it for a 30-30 just on account of ammo prices alone. At that time 30-30 was 15/box and 35 Rem was about 28/box. Now I have a pretty nice Remington Model 8 that shoots 35 Remington. I love the gun. Now 35 Remington is about 50/box on the lo...

I had been looking for a Paterson. Good to know you have them all.

Going to shoot the Paterson's in the match? That's pretty cool. I want to get myself a Paterson one of these days.

One of my favorite Western stars. He has several good ones.
