Mine is a Pre-safety model, had if for around 25 years. Had an action job done right away, and have never had a lick of trouble with it. It's a carbine, without the saddle ring, eastern carbine I think they are called? Maybe thats just in the 94's. My Rossi 92 carbine in 357 has the saddle ring, and...

veeman

Not to nit-pick, but feel I should clear it up, there were no 76's made by Chiappa, I'm sure your thinking of Chaparral. I believe that Hornady brass is a bit beefier that Starline, Winchester or Remington.

veeman

Browning all the way!

veeman

Just got a copy on ebay too, under $5.

veeman

That would be me.

I have the Accurate mold 350DL for my 45/75, no reason it shouldn't work in a 45/60 or 45/70. https://accuratemolds.com/bullet_detail ... t=46-350DL

All 7 of my Blackhawks, new and old models, have the SBH hammers.

veeman

Most useful? I use my Uberti 73 in 44-40 the most. Most enjoyable would have to be my Uberti 76's, either 45/75 or 50/95.

veeman

Shoot, I'd shoot it! That's what it's made for. But I'd be darn sure to clean and maintain it

veeman

I wouldn't call a 45/75 an inferior caliber, it does have it's limitations for sure. It's able and has taken every game species on this continent. Roosevelt certainly praised it. I love my Uberti 76 in 45/75. Finding one in an 86 would be awesome.

veeman

I'd say he is a Hybrid, cross between Whitetail and Mule Deer.

I have both rifle and src. I swapped the rear sight for a semi-buckhorn, but then it shot high so had to have a taller front blade put on. Both are currently at a gunsmith getting d&t for Skinner peeps.

veeman

"Mounting a Skinner to the bolt would be simple enough. But I'd rather have that peep mounted to a non-moving part." I don't know what kind of Skinner sight you have, but mine is mounted right on top of the receiver, not on any moving bolt. MY 94 is a 80's Ranger, the 2 holes already drill...

veeman

That will make a dandy euro mount!

veeman

Good to see all this wonderful info on the 38-55. I just got a Crazy Horse 94, so I'm going to assume it needs the shorter brass? This CH rifle has a rather thin round barrel. I imagine when sighting in not to shoot more than 5 shot at a time, as the heating barrel will open up the group. Interestin...

veeman

I get my black powder at gun shows.

veeman

He needs a bigger hat!

veeman

Most of mine have 5.5 ". For hunting I like 7.5"

veeman

Well, here's another, just cuz.

I have a Uberti 76 in 45/75 with the larger "Uberti" chamber. It's a beast for sure, but I love it. I haven't hunted with it, yet, living in Illinois there isn't much we are allowed to hunt with a rifle. I have a small problem with the main spring falling off, not sure how I'm going to fix...

veeman

Sweet! Put some powder in them shells. Sounds like a .22.

veeman

It's not the last. There will never be a last. As long as people go to see them, there will be more.

veeman

Controlled Madness. Yet I bet you know exactly where everything is.

veeman

I only have 7 44-40's. 2 Colt saa's, 2 Remington saa's, Rossi 92, Uberti 66 and 73.

veeman

Depending which room I'm in. Living room = Sig P250, 45acp. Bedroom = Colt 1991, 45acp. Computer/guitar room = Sig P320, 45acp. Gun/Reloading room = whatever happens to be out of at the moment, always something.

veeman

I'd prefer one in rifle form, with shotgun butt, 32-40.

Eastwood being cleverly dexterous under fire in unforgiven and pale rider only helped perpetrate the myth.

Helps that he wasn't actually being shot at with real bullets!

Custer was in 76 I believe.

Good job! That's hunting!

Those target sights ruin it for me. Takes the nostalgia right out.

Can one do the 3 S's to rusler's? They probly aren't chipped or collared.

Been sober, not a drop, since Oct. 1987. 2 DUI's 1 Divorce. My experience is you have to want to quit. I did. Went to AA, hated it. How sitting in a room with the same people telling the same stories over and over and over and over keeps them from drinking, I'll never get. But if it works for them, ...

veeman

Only 2 of them. Browning 1886 src is called Brutus, and Uberti 1876 is called Thumper.

veeman

I enjoyed it.

veeman

The time frame for the movie was 1892, and many soldiers had purchased rifles of their own, so it is not so far fetched for them to have winchester 73's.

How many times can this guy come back?

Rifle is absent in the newest movie that was just opened. New movie is very good, best one so far, I think.

Wow, that camp look so primitive compared to camps we see today. I was born way too late. I'm not fond of the modern world.

What "was" that critter?

veeman

Depending on how handy you are at making brass. 45/60 is easy as cutting down 45/70 brass. 45/75 is more difficult, reforming already hard to find 348 brass. Pick your lesser of 2 evils. I have a 45/75 and got a couple hundred brass from Jamison before they quit.

Great pictures of family history. Your lucky to have a family that actually had a camera back in those days, Not many did.

veeman

I dunno if it's the best, never had anything else, but I been using a set of Lyman dies for almost 30 years, no problems. I remember having to get a .429 expander plug the 1st year, after that, smooth sailing. Loaded thousands of them, no need to switch. I have 7 different 44-40 guns, ammo works gre...

I should further explain my thoughts. When I say cowboy loads, I'm not talking about the pipsqueak mouse fanny burp loads for CAS, I mean regular black powder velocity loads. I've killed several deer with 45 colt in a Blackhawk, never a rifle, not allowed in Illinois. Velocity was right about 900. C...

veeman

Thats because cowboy loads are what supposed to be shot in these kinds of rifles, they are cowboy rifles. Personally, I wouldn't get a levergun in 45 Colt, too much blowby. But, I'm a purist, so that's me. Load up to 800-900 fps, you'll kill anything on this continent if you put the bullet in the bo...
