It's cracked through in the corner, I can see it clearly on both sides .Toss it and get one off eBay or Homestead parts.

Pat C

There is a chance that there could be a crack in the dovetail area. Check it real good. Planning on magnafluxing it before preceding, I wire brushed it and looked through a loop didn't see anything . But the bulge is a lot deeper under dovetail. Nothing else its a good pattern for making a new barr...

Pat C

Reline is not possible for 1892 carbine ,barrel O.D. is only .590 to .640 first half of its length.Barrel liners are .590"o.d. same size.
It will be fine for the project as its mainly a tribute piece .
For $63 plus ship I'm happy ,all I need is wood and fabbing lever loop.Stay tuned

Pat C

I picked up a 44WCF SRC barrel other day for cheap because of a bulge under rear sight dovetail . Mainly bought it for curiosity sake and to use as pattern to make a replacement for my Rio Bravo project. Been contemplating using it ,bore is light pitting scattered but rifling intact. Patina matches ...

Pat C

I like it !! ,Wife's family has one in mountains ,same situation as yours .We winterize it in October and go back in April usually .Might try to go next weekend.About 70 miles away. Last year we had a break in ,first one since late 80's .Never know what your going to find .Always worried about squat...

Pat C

Does anyone know what the thread specs are on the Uberti 1873 Winchester copy are? I'm assuming they are metric but not sure . Winchester used .809/.807 x 20TPI

Pat C

I like it ,pad was done professionally .I remember back in early 90's the 33WCF 86's could be had cheap in nice shape .Wish I would have picked one up .Did have a new 71 in .348 .

Few pics of the Wes Hardin rig

Pat C

I had them make a Wes Hardin shoulder rig back in early 90's .for Colt SAA 45 .Fish scale stamped all by hand.
Beautiful work.

This has been going on for years across the net , I quit posting WTB adds long ago . Most of the forums now you have to have 30 or more meaningful posts before even being able to view listing boards. I've even seen some forums if a new member joins and makes a bunch of quick posts to try to get in t...

Pat C

I too would have said steel military cleaning rod did this. Very few parts on a Rossi are very hard maybe trigger and hammer. I would have also said maybe new to you but previously owned damaged and returned passed off as new? I like the idea mentioned of just lightly peening high spots down and eve...

Pat C

Thanks too all , biggest mistake. I made was titanium inserts as they wont color,at least back then didn't know of anything. Wished I would have used 4140 HTSR .
I want to do the ejector housing and loading gate I might try to polish and wire brush carding for a antique silver/grey look.

Pat C

It shoots great, this was done over 25 years ago ,I just never decided to add the ejector and gate . For the cylinder I machined the ratchet /nipple area off which exposes the chambers.I just added a little c-bore and turned Top Hat style bushings for a size to size resistance fit .Pushed them in an...

Pat C

Anouther one of my long ago projects ,revisiting maybe. Started out as a cheap Peitta 1851 Navy. Made from barstock a new style octagon barrel without loading lever cutout,bored and lined it with Marlin .22 barrel ,the forcing cone area of barrel is part of the liner making it a top hat press in fit...

Pat C

I just watched Uberti's video on the rifle version with octagon barrel which is available in 38-55 .Looks pretty close to original ,the frame detail cuts are not dead ringer for the early rifles .Receiver looks more closely to later post 64 rifles. @$1324 it would have to be perfect rendition and on...

Pat C

Hello Michael , You know I was looking through some of my media and latest parts catalog I have is December 1950 and the 92 is still fully serviced at that time still. Ramp front carbine barrels are all that's listed other than rifle barrel. Something to note ,at that time you can still get stripped...

Pat C

This is one on eBay now under 1894 front band ,has the original screw too.Notice your looking for milled bands .Not stamped.See how thick the center Webb is.

Pat C

Plenty of originals on eBay, 1894 and 1892 large caliber are the same. The mag tube is held by the rear band screw ,passes through forend and notch in tube,same for front band. Dobt get one of the stamped repos or post 64.
Make sure it came off a vintage rifle.
Expect to pay $60 or so.

Pat C

Anyone that has an original Winchester 92 carbine with ramp front sight post please post pictures in this thread or send them to me.

Looking for markings
Rear sight location from receiver face
Long or short wood forends
Type of buttplate ,carbine or model 55 serrated

Pat C

As a side note it was believed any rifle with this marking would considerably lower value maybe as much as 50%
To collectors.

Pat C

I was reading an old post by Bert H. From the Winchester Collectors site.He stated that sometime late 30's-40's Winchester started stamping barrels in the Parts dept with both stamps .While possible a late rebarrel they may have pulled one of these for use but was not the norm. Usually the rebarrel ...

Pat C

Looks wonderful !! Always wanted an older Marlin had an early 39 one time but no centerfire yet.

Pat C

I'm pretty sure all parts barrels were proofed on test actions I've never seen a Winchester barrel without it after 1905. Anytime you see the plain (P) its always over W/P Winchester sold lots of parts,you could actually build complete rifles from parts as everthing was available. The way I've under...

Pat C

Barrels shipped from Winchester to be installed by gunsmith s had mail order proof above the W/P proof.

Pat C

The ramp front barrels started showing up in late 30's on last production carbine and parts clean up Carbine. The #44 ladder sight was found on some as well as the 22H rifle sight with 3C elevator. Some late carbine even had short wood friends. I have Winchester componant catalogs ,originals. You co...

Pat C

Winchester sometimes double proof marked barrels,usually they marked mail order barrels with a plain P in a circle above the W/P proof. These late ramp front barrels are interesting ,the 94 went through same type changes.That where I'm interested in your barrel details .Trying to see if the same inf...

Pat C

Please post pictures of the barrel caliber and address markings of this barrel, pictures of the ramp from sight and location of the rear sight dovetail with a rule or caliper.A friend has been surveying some of these late featured 92 barrels .I'm also very interested in the specifics.
Thanks

Pat C

I like that ! I love an as found piece ,the receiver on this one was fairly nice ,few heavy handed screwdrivers scratched it . Recently there have been an bunch of rifles parted out,I constantly search for good project receivers,barrels,small parts.Buy when there cheap enough. I'm anxious to start o...

Pat C

Not a lever gun but recently picked up a clean 1906 pump Winchester. Well used but bore is in perfect shape.hard to find with a nice bore.

Pat C

Thanks ,kinda itching to do anouther sometime. Few more pics outside ,machine bluing is beautiful to look at especially in bright light. The early Winchester action were polished very bright,to replicate you have to hand polish down to 600 grit alternating direction per every reduction in grit and f...

44shooter got it ,its. Lignum Vitae Used for years to make propeller shaft bearings and a variety of other bearing applications. Self lubricating and just about rot proof.Lowers sonar report too. The bearings are machined just like any other material ,ships were dry docked they used water mister to ...

Pat C

Still a no

Pat C

Nope, This stuff you actually machine it looks like phenolic resin when cutting.

Pat C

Anouther hint , its 10 times harder than oak

Pat C

Nuclear subs have used this material,and yes this block of wood came out of the ship yards.

Pat C

Nope to all , keep trying .

Pat C

Nope , little clue it has a maritime past

Pat C

Iron wood is close but there are many species ,need more specific.

Pat C

Nope , This wood has been used for a variety of things mechanical for years . Ill hold out before adding a better clue.

Pat C

No not Zebrawood

Pat C

Made this pair of grips back some 25 plus years ago for an old model single six can you guess what type wood was used???

Pat C

I dabbled a little with Colt SAA revolvers,mostly tuning to get a smooth functioning piece. These were third gen revolvers had three. I bought the forcing cone reamer set from Brownells and the action stones. Basicaly stoned the frame insides especially hand slot,debuted and polished all internal pa...

Pat C

Thanks for the comments , normally restoration is a touchy subject when it comes to firearms but in this case condition an non originality made it a good option. All of the markings and bore were excellent ,the cost of this type restoration eliminates it as an option for most. I did all of the metal...

Pat C

Prayers sent !

Pat C

This was a project I did back in early 90's , started out I picked up a barn find 1892 25-20.Rough shape basically wood destroyed and heavy brown patina. After talking with Doug Turnbull ,I decided to purchased a how to VHS he sold on restoration techniques. Many hours later I had everthing polished...

Pat C

The absolute top of the list for me would be a mint condition 1892 Win saddlering carbine in 44WCF
Second place 1st gen Colt Frontier Six Shooter 44WCF

Pat C

Thanks, that's the look I was going for.And the very reason its been signed and dated under buttplate as to the conversion. I like to call it original reproduction. Original 1892 short rifle with special order shotgun buttplate would be pricey ,probably $2K as seen . Done all this for less than you ...

Pat C

Does your 38 have a saddlering carbine buttplate or the straight serrated 55 type?

Pat C

Thanks,glad to be here.
