The Uberti 66 has a half cock and I'm sure the Uberti Henry haseone too but where did you get the idea the originals did not?

Hawkeye2

Took a tick off my setter this afternoon and now it's 32 with 2" of snow. Virginia weather can be crazy, kinda miss Maine where it got cold and stayed that way, not this flip-flop.

Hawkeye2

That isn't an Indian in the first photo. The shift and final drive would have been on the right if it was. On a Harley they were on the left. Indian controls were reversed.

Hawkeye2

Jerry everyone knows Hollywood guns don't need to be reloaded.

Hawkeye2

Nice! Where did you get that neat junction box? I need one for my stump puller.

Hawkeye2

I wouldn't want what goes into my crapper to have to land on Hillary's or Obama's faces.

Hawkeye2

Sounds like an impressive volume. I prefer my reference material on paper, computers and the net are only a fad.

All along I had thought he was trying to look cheerful while recovering from a really rough night.

Stevie, the Sharps was designed to be shot with less than a full chamber so an air space is not an issue. Unless you enjoy punishment 60 to 80 grains in a carbine ceases to be fun real fast. You will find 40 to 45 grains of 2 or 3f will be a very accurate load or at least it is for most Sharps shoot...

A definite no for neatsfoot oil. It's OK for something you expect to use hard and wear out long before the lather and stitching would reach the end of its natural life. I have always used Fiebing's saddle soap for any leather I care about including antique items. Clean with the saddle soap a number ...

Not that that's old but try Bob Hope,1943.

Still valid though.

"I tried the "Thigh Master" method"

I would be willing to try if Suzanne Somers would demonstrate the technique.

He must be drunk, missed his mouth and poured it down the front of his shirt.

OldWin I'm so envious. What I miss most about Maine was the winters. It was 22 here last night and we woke up to 1+" of snow, not the same. I loved the woods at 20 below. The absolute silence except for the trees creaking and groaning, the sound of the snow underfoot and the crystal clear air, ...

I don't know if this is an old chart of one of the newer ones. Lee will sell the charge table for the newer set for $1 https://leeprecision.com/parts/reloading-kits/lee-loader-rifle/lee-loader-303-british-parts/ I did realize that you wanted the chart more than the loader itself, I merely posted the...

Here is one but it looks like the instructions/data are missing.

I haven't searched eBay for them for a year or more but they used to be quite common there in a lot of calibers. I suggest you might do a search there.

3 cm or 1.1811" long, they didn't say if that's after it was recovered. There is a lot more detail here:

Steve's DVD is great, step by step how to on slicking up your Rossi. It'll eliminate the fear factor and get you started on tuning your rifle which really is not hard once you get started. DO NOT order the vid without ordering one of his ejector springs too, once you start to put it back together ag...

Hawkeye2

I wish it were 59 out today, 42, cloudy and I'm doing an engine swap on my lawn tractor. I grew up in Maine and I can say you haven't lived till you have laid in the ice and snow at 20 or more below changing a starter so you can go to work that day.

Hawkeye2

I have one I bought at Bean's in the early 80s and love it. I don't know how many hours it has on it but it's a favorite for camping. They give a lot of light, the candles seem to last forever and they are much safer than a lot of candle lanterns and oil lanterns. About 4 years ago I bought a couple...

Hawkeye2

That is a beautiful sporting Mauser, a true classic. It is every bit as strong as an 03/03A3 Springfield, possibly stronger, and any loads listed for them can be used in your rifle. The .30-06 round is more than adequate for most game and overkill for a lot so you could reduce the government loading...

Hawkeye2

Pitchy I actually sent mine there for repair, should be on it's way back to me now. I'll post when I get it back and I also ordered 6 of his new bullets too. I'm not sure of they are repros or new but at 6 for $10 when he's doing the repair it's a great price.

Hawkeye2

"The survival rate on that stuff can't be all that great." I'm surprised at the number that do survive, perhaps sheer volume had a lot to do with it. I fired every one of mine till they were worn out or failed mechanically and I can't even begin to tell you how many that was but I'm sure ...

Hawkeye2

I've got that one on the door of one of my gun safes. If I remember (sometimes can't) I believe I have seen a couple of other Lester's signs. What I like about them is that they look like a vintage Winchester or Remington ad.

Hawkeye2

Pitchy thanks for the tip on the loading gate. I'll try to remember it though I haven't had any problems there (yet).

Hawkeye2

The blade is pinned to the base, you can clearly see the pin. My 94 SRC made in 1925 has a blade with a bead pinned in to a a slot in the base. The base on mine is not dovetailed in but is permanently attached to the barrel from the factory. I can't tell from your photos where yours might be dovetai...

The Rolls Royce of cap guns! I sent mine off for repair and restoration a couple of months ago and also ordered 6 new bullets for it. They are slightly larger than an actual Colt SSA, quite a handful for a 6 year old.

Hawkeye2

"Got me to thinking about roll caps, and how much fun it was to set off an entire roll at once with a hammer."

That got boring in a hurry and we moved on to setting off a whole box at a time with a sledge hammer.

Hawkeye2

That's a real deal! My guess is they didn't know what it was. I'm sure you both will have a lot of fun with it. They were never issued with a sling but a Mosin dog collar one or the ones with the straps & buckles work fine and there are a lot of those out there that were made in Poland and are l...

I have been to the Hamburg store several times and it's the only one I have visited. It's over 2.5 hours away and I have made several purchases there and possibly would have bought more if I had been received in a more professional manner. I've gotten short answers when asking where an item might be...

Most of the junk mail I've been receiving these past few weeks are just gibberish and the 3rd line in the header is "Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64". Searching I find that "Base64 is a group of similar binary-to-text encoding schemes that represent binary data in an ASCII string fo...

If the bullet's metal jacket is brass it has been work hardened by forming and age and fatigue have caused it to split just like an old brass cartridge case. If that's the case no problem, it's safe. Hang on to it, it has a story that needs to be told every time you show it.

Hawkeye2

The pan on that 5-10 looks similar to my Lyman. There is another stamped piece under the pan on the Lyman held by that screw in the center. There is some fine shot in the space between both pieces and some leaked out when the screw came loose. It wouldn't zero till I added some shot to the space bet...

Hawkeye2

I had a similar problem with my Lyman Oahus years ago. The pan was made of 2 pieces held together by the same screw that secured the wire it hangs by. The screw had come loose and some of the birdshot between the 2 pieces had leaked out. I added some weight, enough to get it back where I could zero ...

Hawkeye2

It shouldn't add enough mass to give any problems. Is there a chance it's coming up against the receiver or scope as it comes to rest stopping the hammer just a little short or could it be rubbing against something as the hammer falls slowing it down a little?

Hawkeye2

I had the surgery 3 years ago, got the expensive lenses that are in focus from near to far and believe it was worth every cent, well actually dollars, lots of them. I was almost completely blind in my left eye and now my vision in that eye is slightly better than in my right. No issues with shooting...

Hawkeye2

So how so I resize it to work? I'm down to 25 X 25 pixels but the file size remains at 9.78 KB (10,022 bytes) and I don't know how to change that to get it in the 0 to 6 range.

Hawkeye2

I'm sorry to hear of your loss, take comfort from the knowledge that you were able to give him 4 wonderful years.

As far as i'm concerned Photobucket is history unless you want to shell out $400/year to use it. The thing that really upsets me and everyone else is that they dropped the bomb without any warning.

The .460 S&W loaded with black powder is known as the .45 Brimstone and is popular as a cartridge conversion in Colt Walkers and Dragoons. A potent load is 60 grains of 3f and a 250 grain bullet.

Never seen one before but why not just post a direct link to the item?

N.

It would probably work fine but as I said they are so light you don't need the other hand forward of the trigger guard.

Other than scientific usage, I can't remember the last time I have heard BC/AD used. But since I'm a RIGHT WING GUN TOTING GOD FEARING MAN I'll continue to use BC/AD. THE LEFT CAN GO POUND SALT!

Hawkeye2

I see no reason that it can't be done, however...... The small bore with a fast twist will foul extremely fast and the bullets would need large grease groves and a black powder compatible lube like SPG. I don't know if it could be gotten to cycle or not but it would plug up the gas system fast. If y...

Hawkeye2

I just poured 40 grains in mine and you would have to do some serious compressing to get a ball in. Thirty five leaves a little room and if you get the ball right on the edge of the chamber opening on a compressed load it can move forward under the recoil of a heavy load (even if you have a good fit...

Hawkeye2

I don't believe you will get more than 35 grains in the chamber and you will have some loss at the barrel/cylinder gap.

Hawkeye2

Does your old friend need any new friends?

Possibly but it would probably take more years than you have left to work your way round to his good side.
