I wonder if these firearms were ever placed on the national stolen firearms registry? From what I have been told LEO, firearms dealers,etc., in some areas it is not automatically done.

Back-In-The-Last-Century I hunted and shot with a Fellow Shooter who had a Springfield M1873 Cadet Rifle. Not being a caster, he fired Remington 300g JHP and 405g Soft Points at Lyman recommended loads for original M1873 rifles. John claimed that after about 3 years of shooting, accuracy started to ...

Back during the Great Firearms Sell Off of 2022, I sold my Marlin. 45 Colt CB. At the time, I thought about replacing it with an imported or Henry Firearms Henry 1860 in .45 Colt. That idea never panned out as the imports were and still are unobtainium and the best price on a Henry was over US $2200...

Griff: a lowall in .45 Colt!!! Wanted one, but by the time I acted, they were no longer available. Knew a few shooters who had them and all were pleased with the rile, the calibre, and results on the target or game.

Back in the day I had S&W M24 .44 Special and loaded my M29 44 Magnum to .44 Special velocities. Always thought the .44 was a greatly under appreciated round. On whim, I bought 2 Ruger .44 Specials -- 5.5" flat top Blackhawk and Bisley -- supposedly special run distributed for Lipsey . Stil...

I have a Browning 1886 in the rifle and carbine configurations. Well made, half cock safeties, and I just wished my eyes were better to take advantage of the barrel and tang sights. Rifle is heavy enough that bench shooting does not beat me up. Carbine has a bit more push behind it when I touch one ...

Griff: really a nice score as the '51 Navy is a classic!

Gents: thanks for your responses. Right now, the 1860 henry is on hold. The imports are "unavailable". Dealer was able to locate a Henry Repeating Arms rifle and when we figured out the selling price, shipping, sales tax, etc., it was over US $2800.00! Hopefully this year Buffalo Arms or C...

Piller: these days, US 39.99 is not a bad price. As I said powder around -- if you can find any --goes for US $45-50.00 per lb.

Around here a pound of powder goes between US $45.00-50.00.

"Zimmer frame steps", that right there is funny. For those Not-In-The-Know, a Zimmer Frame is what we on the other side pond call a walker.
