Kim, your rifle is by no stretch of the imagination a BP gun. I really have no idea why Miroku chose to misname the new .45-90 as a BPCR other than there being no current loads for that caliber. Whatever, your gun is capable of handling whatever you choose to feed it and how much recoil you wish to ...

Hmmm. The Boomtown Show has never been on my go-to list, so it means nothing to me, but the "non-gun" gun show concept does bother me, though. What do they expect to accomplish by banning guns at a gun show? I suppose the new name for the place will be "Doom Town", as their show ...

Is anyone really surprised that the liberal media would twist the results to mean whatever they wanted? This is typical of the kind of lowlife journalism that ABC and all the other network news liberals do. Nothing new here! They are not journalists, Vall, more like "sensationalists". The...

Kirk, you are treating you gun much too nicely. :) Move your load up about 500 FPS and you will see her really shine. If you can get some H4227 try 12.5 grains with you 60 gr Hornady. it will duplicate the old WHV load and give 2200+ fps.

The only .32WCF revolver I owned was an original circa 1908 Colt SA. It was a fun gun to shoot and could be loaded safely to a level above the anemic factory fodder. It went away in a trade that I probably shouldn't have made, but it was fair enough at the time. I would dearly love to have a 4 3/4&q...

Vintage winchester prices

As I wander through the various internet gun sites, I am amazed and flabbergasted by the outrageous asking or starting prices for these old guns. A few are nice enough to warrant further examination, but many are poor representatives of the models. 1886s, in particular, seem to be escalating faster ...

I have never looked at the GB Forum until I read this post. The GB says on the Bible section that "Catholic Dogma" is out. You have to discus the Bible as what the Bible says, but not what a person believes as a Catholic. The guy has some problems upstairs. Eric Boy, howdy, Eric! The *** ...

I guess that their tactic backfired on 'em, eh? Haven't they got a clue that gun control only effects the good guys? I guess not, 'cause they keep tryin' to push the same old tired nonsense through the system.

It certainly doesn't bother me. I quit that site after Bill denegrated the Roman Catholic faith in several of his posts. Unnecessary belittling of any religion is poison as far as I am concerned.

That is a real feast for the eyes, alright! There's just one serious problem with the rifle .... it's not in .38-55! :shock: AMEN to that, Kirk! If it had been a .38-55, I would be dead in the middle of the action. IMO, the gun is already gone WAY above it's actual value. The "bidder" has...

VERY nice 94s 'ya got there, mod71alaska. I don't currently own any 1894s, but here are a few picks of the $700. '86 I picked up last year.

John, did the previous owner tell you that he installed the deluxe cap and rear swivel attachment? The reason I am asking is that my 71 standard was purchased new by the original owner, complete with swivel attachments and sling.
