I recently purchased a M27 Classic 4" barrel. I do not own a old model, but I have friends that do and have compared them side by side. My classic has a MUCH heavier double action pull. Now this was...
Does anyone have experience with a Williams Target Glove front sight. I want a 17A but cant seem to find one so this seems like the next best thing. Do the inserts interchange with Lyman ones?
I recently got a Williams FP GR for my 39a. It is the one that fits on a dovetail. When fully tightened down, the dovetail tension screws stick out from the sight body enough to snag on things. Is...

The question is in the title. I see alot of people at the local matches shooting mini mags for the extra velocity, so I do the same as a newbie but is it really necessary? My rifle shoots .75" at 50...

I ended up finding a near mind (90%) 39a here local. It shot .75" off the bench with CCI Standard vel. Very pleased with it

The ones im looking at on gunbroker go anywhere from 600-1000 depending on the condition and exact model.

I'm looking to get in to small bore lever action silhouette. I have narrowed my choice of gun down to a used 39A or a new Frontier long barrel. I have both brands in centerfire guns and have found...

Thank you I may have to try that. My plan was to mess around with different combinations this spring. I planned on messing with increasing speed. I have lil gun and H110 that I was going to try and...

I just did a ladder test with unique from 9-11 grains. I can give you the speeds I got for reference if you need.

Was finally able to connect on a late season doe with a cast boolit out of my 1894CB. The mold is as stated in the thread title cast with straight range scrap measuring 11BHN and weighing 262gn. It...

My goal is to quit dipping after 10 years. My wife agreed that for every week im clean I get to put that amount of money in the safe. After 6 months I can go buy a new gun with it.
Now a days its a steel IPSC at any distance. But my favorite shooting memories that I have are of my father and I setting aluminum and tin cans on fence posts and challenging each other with a 10-22...
Peltor Comtac V. Had them issued to me years ago and will never wear anything else. Can wear them 8 hours and not be bothered.
I have a Cimarron Pietta. The model is the El Malo 2. It was made in 2023 and is indeed a 4 click. I don’t have any side by sides to compare it to, but I like it a lot. The fit and finish is...

I have an MP454640 with a sample of every HP pin I can send you, if you do not have already.
All modern HP38 is the exact same as 231. I confirmed this by talking to Hodgdon themselves. They will tell you the same thing.

The Henrys are a very nice gun. But, as someone who has had both, a JM Marlin is smoother and seems to have overall better craftsman ship. That being said, a Henry is much nicer than a Remlin or...

For me it comes down to a bit of practacility. I have an MP454640 HP mold for my 45 colt and I love it, and it does not cause any issues. I like the fact that it comes with five different pins all...
I have always been more of a 45 colt guy, but after reading Texasflyboy's "75,000 Wadcutters in a Model 27" post, something in me wanted to have one. Today while browsing a local shop, I happened to...
Given there is no published load data for this projectile, I based my starting data off of the 270SAA data in the Lyman book. I did this because the weight is within 8 grains and the seating depth is...

My buddy has a Uberti Win 1873 clone in 45 colt. It is by far one of the smoothest levers I have ever had the pleasure of handling, and the fit and finish on it is amazing as well. Congrats on your...

Congrats on the new Ruglin! I purchased my first Marlin back in October, a JM 1894 cowboy limited in 45 colt. It indeed is a rifle that will be with me until the day I die.
