sleeved, a local smith whose day job is something else, did it and then did some different ones, sold me this one complete for $325.00 some years ago, that includes the pistol!

Blackhawk, I have never heard of a 25-20 colt! You sure one was ever made? not factory but i have seen conversions, including a Chrities SAA with two cylinders one in 25/20 and one in 256 and with christies adjustable siights and wished it had bought it, but then i have this one: http://i248.photob...

yes, but i had to back off and give up, never did get the ash off.

it is a shetland sheep dog, errr.... snow bear.

I would like to purchase a bearcat (new or used),but only if I can get a spare cylinder for it,can they be purchased anywhere? If so are they a drop in part or do they have to be fitted to the revolver? is yours an old model or new model? if it is an old model i know where there is an inexpensive o...

a light ash fall has covered the snow here. in the photos the tracks are brighter because of the untainted clean snow below the surface. http://i248.photobucket.com/albums/gg196/hfcable/P1010296.jpg animals foraging in this and ingesting snow will develop a characteristic ring of ash around the peri...

According to the video, it took 3-shots to kill the bobcat. Doesn't say a lot for the Police firearms training. Well maybe .. but I doubt it. Having been up close to things that were trying to bite claw or whatever, the usual routine is to empty the gun into it. One shot may do it but I have found ...

hfcable

Mike, you are right about this button arrangement. if i used this a lot especially with heavy weight loads, it would hammer itself pretty badly. i think of this gun as something to carry conveniently and use occasionally only. ii was hoping the taylors import was going to be available in 44 mag, but...

hfcable, that is a cool carbine. I have been wanting to attempt a break down conversion for awhile now. I think I have most of the details worked out, if you could answer a couple of questions I would be gratefull. How is the fore end wood attached to the take down block/extension? Is the front bar...

hfcable

That is very nice. I have an early 1970s 94 that is what we call a "reservation gun". It is a beater an I got the fresh of the reservation in a trade. The someone sanded off the bluing and plating on the receiver. I did a plum brown job on it with so so results. At least it isn't shiney l...

Show and tell but not sell: this started life as a winchester 1892 20" 44/40 carbine, by the time i got it, it had been rebarreled and reworked to 44 magnum; i sent it off to a montana fellow who was then living in south carolina and had him make it into a takedown and shorten it to legal trapp...

As usual the Numnuts at Numrich have their pictures reversed, which means they may get their parts reveresed, no matter which you order. I can't tell you which extractor to buy, as I don't know which version of bolt Midway is selling. I would call Midway and ask their tech people to tell you which ...

hfcable

nothing i can say, it leaves me speechless. i am so happy you are so blessed now, and i suspect that you are very strong in all ways, and in part because you had to become the man of the house instantly. i can only say i am proud to know you, and deeply happy that your life is so good.

from 1890 approx

or maybe two! hope to find out from the major auction houses.

There are underlever cartridge guns that look new, despite their age. here are some pics: http://i248.photobucket.com/albums/gg196/hfcable/howdah2.jpg http://i248.photobucket.com/albums/gg196/hfcable/howdah5.jpg http://i248.photobucket.com/albums/gg196/hfcable/howdah.jpg http://i248.photobucket.com/...

I believe we "gun collectors" are really "gun caretakers". They don't make these good old guns anymore so I think we should take good care of them so the next generation can shoot, hunt, and appreciate them. I think even the "kill notches" on some rifles are terrible. ...

hfcable

Pardon my ignorance, but didn't the Marlin 39 come out in 1939 ... after the advent of "high velocity" higher pressure 22 LR rounds? I would think that an 1897 would perhaps be a concern but I would not have thought that a 39 or 39A would need this addressed. I am fully prepared to be enl...

dang, my brownings which have 3/8" are from the 80's production so now they must have changed it! why on earth would they do that, makes for a real pain!

not on the dovetails,, they are 3/8" but screws and other stuff are metric.

Big Goose, i am with you, and i even shoot a matchlock and a wheelock....i am in to replicating the past! i just want to know how it 'felt' to use those weapons back in those days.

spencer 56/52 probably made in late 1860's, early 70's.
next oldest would be either my Evans 44 or my 1878 Burgess 45/70.

man that is a great project. i have always wondered what they were like to shoot.
great! now shoot an animal and post the pictures!!

you are correct sir it is 15/16" not 7/8

my senility is flaring up again, thanks!

hfcable, Great looking rifle :) If you don't mind me asking, what did you use for the green background in your photos? Maybe I should ask our resident photographer this why question. (Kirk) Why do firearms seem to photograph so much better on a hunter green background? that is a gun pad made for us...

hfcable

thanks Mike.

hfcable

always the same one:
1886 brown-chester custom 45/70

hfcable

all the renegades have 1" barrels measured across the flats; hawkens come in two version 7/8" and 1" barrel slots. so be sure which you get before you order a spare barrel. the 7/8" came standard in 45 cal; you can even get a 7/8" .54 cal smooth bore interchangeable barrel. ...

hfcable

they made the small frame guns, exactly the size of the ruger single six i beleive, but they also made a fullsize SAA frame gun [so did colt back in the 1800's, at least they made a few] and that full size gun is quite impressive, a chunk, but accurate and easy to point i have one of the full size g...

wow, that is the kind of fun i like to do,
but why is the ground green colored? ours has been completely white for a while now!
makes me wish i was somewhere else part of the year!

Paco talked about this once: used the 307/356 winchester rimmed case, and necked to 7mm; i believe maybe called it the 7mm Shooting Times Easterner? made it up on the winchester big bore chassis; i wanted to make one for a while, but it is just another of the projects i dont have time for!

man, looks like great woods, wish i was out there!

that is great!

'.....If one of the replica makers produced it, I would buy one.".......

me too, i really enjoy trying out the oldies, original or repro with original type loads.......then i have a better idea of the things i read about and of the times and events that interest me.

any special instructions for preparing this leaner bird?

just spectacular...the wood, the engraving, the condition of the metal; a beautiful mellow aged look that cant be equalled!
what a pleasure and treasure to own!
i would have to shoot it!

hfcable

There have been a couple of topics on the little sharps from Charles Daly. One of the problems I remember was that the trigger guard is likewise reduced in size and some shooters thought it cramped. I think a single trigger would be fine, not so much a double set trigger. also the bore was way over...

good job, you had me worried for a minute!

i assume it is yours now? if not why not? and if not where do we find it??
great find!

Holy cow or holy bull... elk, i guess. wonderful! am i jealous!?
i have killed caribou [running] the same way with my 38/55 but they are not as big as the elk of course, would love to have seen it.
great hunting and great shooting! congratulations!

I voted .410. I missed the Winchester and Marlin lever .410's. Stupid me thought they would be around for a long time. So, if anyone makes one, I'll be first in line at my local shop. the original marlin 410 made back in the 1920's is much, much nicer; it has the old square bolt for a neater look, ...

if you get one in 45 colt, it is a stuff shoot....some work, most dont, and this goes for the ubertis as well...local shop sent all the ubertis back. in 357 they may work and in 44/40 it is not problem, but the 45 colt rim is just too tiny for reliable extraction and feeding [ compare a 44/40 and a ...
