Got a nice gun but can't find a dern mold with more than two cavities. I figured with cowboy shooting big as it is, everybody must be making at least a four cavity but they don't, at least as far as I know. I'd like to find a round nose, 180 grain with a single lube groove if anyone knows where I can find one.

Might you have a nice 1873 Winchester in need for that mold? ...:mrgreen:

Nope it's Ruger flat top converted from 357 using a rebored 30 cal old model barrel. But a '73 sure would look nice in the gun cabinet as a companion piece.

Actually a Marlin like yours might fit in better with the others already in there. :)

I bought that (the very same) in 1970 at 11 years old by mowing lawns. It still looks as new as it did then except for the patina'd brass as I never polished it. I don't know how it made it through all the crazy years and places in my life. .....:roll:

I had a gaggle of straight-grip Marlins at one time but always took wheelguns to the range so now it's down to 4 or so. Of those a 32-20 CL and a 1894M 22 mag are for sale.
