Re: Weaver Opinions
I like the old Weavers. There seems to be plenty of them at the gunshows prices very alot. I have a couple of K4 's and they are clear and work well in low light. I would like a k3 but the ones I find seem to have the target reticle. Which the crosshairs are just to fine in low light for hunting. I...

Re: Colt SAA
I paid $1140 NIB. Great deal then and great deal now. I wanted the longer barrel, for target shooting. If I was going to be carrying it or shooting CAS I would have gone shorter. 6pt, you know how much fun the 32-20 is, in a rifle, and in a revolver it's the same......a 30 cal .22 mag. :wink: I alr...

Re: Colt SAA
I bought a 7.5" 32-20 about a year ago and I have had no regrets. The cost is about the same, so you might as well get the Colt. What I have found is that it likes a slow bullet. My accuracy load is 3.9gr of HP-38 under a Laser-Cast 115gr bullet. http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c385/bnw439/f...

I have purchased firing pins , ejectors and extractors for a Marlin 1892 from them before . Although my 1892's are all 32 caliber . I am sure they most likely have what you need !
