Yup, ejector. Now I need to figure out how to put it back in and where the spring and the pin are.

I'm here in Vermont at a Cowboy Action Shoot. I'm sighting in my Mirkou Winchester 1894 rifle in 38-55....Everything is going great. I get ready to put the rifle back in the case and a part falls out of the bottom. I searched all parts drawings I could find here on the internet with no luck. Can any...

Interesting topic..... Being 63 years old, I've been through three or four periods in my life where folks started to be greatly concerned about bad times. I remember neighbors building bomb shelters in the 60s The race riots that followed burned down lots of inner cities. This was a WILD time in man...

I believe there is a bounty of some type on the large snakes in Florida and they do have some kind of "round up" competition I've read about.

So...How did I do you might ask...Well, I had a very good weekend....I won 1st place in the Pistol Accuracy side match and came in third in my category in the main match. And I got selected to shoot in the grand finale "Shoot Off"...Something I'd never done. To get into the Shoot Offs you ...

Shootout At Sawyers Flats, Harvard Massachusetts Tri State Championship

Steve,

I haven't had a chance to slug the bore yet. I'm shooting the next three days at the SASS Tri State here in Massachusetts. I'll check it out when I get home on Monday.

Interesting... The following is an excerpt taken from William Brophy's Marlin Book which he notes was found in the 1892 Marlin Catalog on the new .32 Caliber Marlin Model 1892 rifle: "The caliber .32 Model 1892 rifle is so made that in the same rifle may be used .32 short rim-fire and .32 long ...

I finally got a chance to really look this rifle over. I kinda bought it on a whim. It is MUCH better than I thought. The finger screw on the side releases the side plate for cleaning and inspection. The interior of this rifle looks like new. The bore is pristine! Now I need to find the time to pull...

rbertalotto

Bad idea.....Wife is shopping at TJ Max and the Cabelas is right next door. I'll just go take a look in the gun library. A few weeks ago was at the same Cabelas and they had a refinished Marlin 92 in 32 Colt for $999. The refinish was extremely well done, but at $1K, just a bit much at this time. Al...

Three of them are and one is a Unertl

I wrote an article about the Leatherwoods and how I made a set of mounts out of dial indicators

I now have a few more Unertls, a Lyman and a Feckler in the collection.

Well...Thank you kindly!

Went to the local gun shop this morning to pick up some powder.....Quick look in the gun case....1873 Colt Bisley (ASM) in 38-40! Big deal...a repro of an 1873 SAA by the Italian firm Armi San Marco.... But...This is Massachusetts. A revolver like this is near impossible to get in this state. If it ...

Have it dipped.........They can dip it in a water floated decal and it will look great. And be weatherproof to boot!

Actually, looks like you might be able to do it at home

Did you see this in the description....

" California Residents: Click here for Proposition 65 information. - "

I sure hope this is Pencrafts sense of humor........Would there be a 7 day waiting period and need to be transfered through an FFL ?????

rbertalotto

IMO, it would be near impossible for a case to separate like that, especially an Ackley, if there wasn't headspace or the shoulder being pushed back during reloading. If the case fits the chamber properly there simply is no place for the brass to go. If that case was fired in a lever action of quest...

rbertalotto

WOW, thanks for the plug!

You are getting some fantastic pictures there. I like the poly rifling in the SIG.

You can find my article about these scopes here:

www.rvbprecision.com

Thanks

rbertalotto

On second thought, if you do indeed have a headspace problem, the Ackley will exacerbate the issue as the nearly straight sides of the case will grip the chamber better as PO Ackley proved many years ago. Then the base of the case moves back against the breach...and you have a stretched case. I'd pu...

Strange with a case that headspaces on the rim.......

Thanks for mentioning my web site....www.rvbprecision.com I got a couple 73s now and a few 66s to keep them company. Both 38-40 and 44-40.

A place in Heaven has your and your wife's name on it! What you are doing for those kids is amazing. So sorry for your son and DIL's condition. We pray for them.

Do the best you can for those kids, that's all you can do.

I just read in the trade magazine "SHOT" that Winchester will be offering an 1866 reproduction, fully engraved in 44-40 for $3200 in 20126

$3200 seems large to me for a repro...........

I was considering adding another rifle to the barn when I was searching the Cabelas Gun Library and a Uberti, 1866 in 22RF popped up. Engraved and in good condition. I spoke to the Allen TX Gun Library manager and he told me it was in excellent condition with only a few handling marks. These simply ...

My understanding is the fellow in the first letter did survive the war. My friend is trying to find out where and what he did after the war.

Fantastic!

Few questions: How did you deal with the meat? Transportation? Give it to locals?

How do you access hunting land over there? Pay a fee? Open to the Public?

Did you use any guides?

I did the math and for my Cowboy Action bullets (38-40=180g) the math works out as such 7000 g in a pound of lead I'm paying $1.45 for a pound of WW including shipping 7000g / 180g = 38 bullets per pound $1.45 / 38 = 3.8 cents a bullet I can buy cast 180 grain 38-40 bullets for $42/500 shipped = 8.4...
