I was told by an ex-Ruger employee that the early #1 & #3 Rifles had Douglas premium Barrels. I know my #3 carbine shot tiny groups at 100 yards. That 22 Hornet in a #3 is a rare bird, as is the 30-40. I also had a 375 Winchester in #3. I shot an Elk Bull in Oregon with the piece. One shot, and ...

Years ago, when I had a Ruger #3 carbine in 30-40 Krag I used the 180 gr. Hornady and IMR 4350 powder. my load was right up there with the .308.

Lefty Dude

Reference was for the OP.

Lefty Dude

If you are switching between Lead and jacketed bullets with out totally cleaning the bore before shooting lead, I would say that might be you problem. That bore must be clean from all Jacketed fouling for the piece to shoot Lead accurately. By clean I mean not a trace of fouling or grey color on a c...

I can not afford, "FREE".

It is a J Frame, looks to be a 1960-70 piece. I have one also. HV ammo is just fine. One of the best 22's S&W produced. A very accurate piece.
The I frame was before 1952.

Lefty Dude

Is this an I frame or J frame ? Is the S/N stamped on the butt of the grip frame ?

Lefty Dude

A rare piece indeed! Keep us posted. The most valuable of the 14/141 series. The 14 1/2 carbine in 44WCF, now that's the most valuable of all! I think they may have made it in 38WCF also.

Lefty Dude

Most of the forums & boards I use I can now post from my Library of photos on the lap-top I use. I stopped using PB several years ago, after I was exposed to some nasty Virus and then cookies and such.
My account is still active but is not used.

Lefty Dude

Use only 22 standard velocity in the piece. CCISV's are the way to go.

Lefty Dude

I have loaded 44WCF for my Custom shop Colts. It is all in the reloading dies, and the expansion plug you use. I use RCBS Cowboy dies. The RCBS Cowboy dies are made for loading lead bullets. Lee dies and many others are made for jacketed bullet loading. Some 44WCF dies set the shoulder back and limi...

Lefty Dude

The last 97 production Year was 1957. I would assume this to be a Winchester special order custom piece. And a 16 ga. also !
Notice the short make tube also. It is also set up for sling use.

Lefty Dude

Leather Glove will not protect, if you have a chain fire !!!! A Big Ouch indeed !!!!!!!!!

Lefty Dude

That is a Ladies Rifle. Sharon Stone is shown with one in the Western Movie, "The Quick And the Dead". I had one, just be sure you hold it right when firing. Keep your support hand behind the cylinder. That is what the second finger grove is for on the Brass trigger guard. They make a 45 C...

Lefty Dude

50-75 yards, and a Cow.
Just up the Rifle to a 45-70 !

Lefty Dude

My 44 Mag load also. 240 gr. Nosler RNJSP over 23.5 gr. of H110/296. A very nice load, and gets the job done. I shoot this in my Rossi 44 Carbine. Also when I had a Ruger SBH,

Lefty Dude

Nice looking piece. I have a 44 mag Handi-Rifle with the bull barrel, I bought several Years ago at a LGS. The piece now has a straight stock I replaced with an early H&R. I installed an 1873 Springfield rear sight on the piece. The front sight is a Williams 20 ga. slug gun sight. This piece lik...

Lefty Dude

Somewhere I read of one BC cylinder being re- chambered for only one chamber in mag. the other five left in 22LR IIRC; it was Shooting Times, many years ago.

Lefty Dude

The short barrels are my favorite also. My Ruger Blued Single-Six is a Shorty, 4 5/8". I love the piece.
I have a Cimarron 45 SAA 5 1/2" that is a fine shooting piece, but not the balance of my short Colts.

Lefty Dude

And now it needs a 44WCF cylinder. I have a Pair of Custom Shop 4 3/4" 44WCF's with the factory fitted second cylinders in 44 Spec. I shoot Black Powder in the 44WCF,cylinders and Smokeless in the 44 special cylinder. I also use Unique powder for the 44 Special. However the piece really comes a...

Years ago, some one gave me a set of that Colt style of Grips. I sold them to a Colt collector for $225.00 last year. He needed them for a restoration project he was involved in. The grips changed many times over the years. Colt collectors can tell which period a gun was made by how the Grips look a...

"Frontier Six Shooter", was only in 44WCF

Lefty Dude

I like my Bond, and will continue to carry the piece. In the Holster I have I can carry the piece in many position. In my Jean pocket the Holster shows no print.

Lefty Dude

I like the Shield also, however having Arthritis in my Right Hand and thumb and being Left handed with a ruptured thump tendon. I can not rack the slide of a Shield, 1911 or my Browning HP, which I just Sold. The Bond Bullpup design has a much lighter Slide which I can handle. As you get older you m...

Lefty Dude

In a few Weeks I will own a 9mm Bond Bullpup. The Deringer will be for the vehicle.

Lefty Dude

I have loaded the .390" round balls, My preference is the #4 buck shot, a few more pellets. #4 buck is close to 25 caliber.

Lefty Dude

For 410 rounds I carry only the Self Defense rounds made by Winchester, Federal, and such. For Snakes, etc. I use the Remington # 5 & 6 shot. I also load an all brass 410 Mag-Tec shell with # 4 buck shot over a nice portion of 3F Goex Black Powder. The 45 Colt round I carry is the Hornady Critic...

My Bond as a EDC. 45/410

Lefty Dude

And when I need to be more Heeled, My Bond 45/410 Deringer. Deringer on the Right, Mini on the Left.

Lefty Dude

My custom Holster for my mini was made by my very good friend, he is a fellow CAS/SASS shooter. He makes Holsters & leather for a Hobby. I ask one time what he would charge for this beautiful little holster. He stated about the same as a full size holster. Since he has so much custom work I doub...

Thank for the tip, ya done good !

I made a fixture for removing the nipples from C&B cylinders. A 3/4" piece of plywood with two dowel rods inserted in the following manner. One wood dowel is spaced for the center cylinder hole, the other is spaced for a chamber hole. This holds the cylinder from turning as you use your dri...

His process is Patented. Or was, when he Died I do not know what happened to the Patent. In the book is a copy of the Patent. It could be expired now too.

Lefty Dude

That 44 mag. could be a 444Marlin in short order.

Aquila is in the process of making Ammo for the 5mm Remmy. It may already be in the pipe line.

Ham operator here; KI7GYK, 73's I got a license about 12 years ago, but there's not much activity around here, and the radios and repeaters to navigate are so complex I'd need a tutor one-on-one to get started, so I've never broadcast at all. About the best I can do is listen to storm-chasers durin...

Code is not required for a Ham license. I just got my Technician class license, and will study for my general class soon.
BTW; I am over 70 years Young.

Euroarms, IIRC; was the first to make the 51 in 44 cal as a replica. Followed by ASM and Pietta.

I have and shoot several C&B revolvers.

Well the Critter is at the taxidermy, all skinned and will be off to the tannery soon. A rug will be the final outcome. It will take approx. 18 mo. for the return to my SIL. The Cat was at a Water Hole at 2:00 in the Afternoon. She was shot at about 35 yards, with a 180 gr. 30-06 from a Remington mo...

All we need to do here is buy a Lion Tag.
Coyote's and Mt Lion kill a lot of Elk & Deer during the calfing season here.

My Son-In-Law and his Father.
Hunting Elk between Williams, AZ & Flagstaff, North of I-40 and South of the Grand Canyon.
Shot and tagged yesterday.
When we Hunt in the High country we always have a Mt. Lion and a Bear tag in the party of Hunters.
This big one will make a nice rug.

Lefty Dude

My family is Hunting Elk in the Arizona High Country this Week. Between Williams, AZ and the Grand Canyon, North of the Interstate 40.
Two of the Boys have Cow Elk tags. A Meat hunt for sure !

My Belgium 1860 Colt. Made in 1959, an exact copy of the original 1860 Colt. New, in the box and unfired condition. Made before the Italian Copy's by Uberti & Pietta.

I here that Cabela's is selling their Credit card division to a Large Bank. I will cancel my card when it expires at the end of the year. This is the only Card I have from a retail firm. The only Credit card we have is a Discover Card. They are very nice to deal with. All the others, forget them in ...

Lefty Dude

When I reload jacketed 44WCF's, I use the Lyman "M" die for my neck expansion/belling. I have found it to be the best for this task. The "M" die gives a very gradual taper for the case belling. I also use and old set of RCBS 44WCF dies for the case sizing, this die was made in th...

It is nice to see Hollywierd produce a Film without the foul language, nude scenes, and sex acts of lust or perversion.
Thank you, Producers and Makers for a very enjoyable Film. And for making a Western!
