John has worked on 2 of my old Marlins, an 1893 and an 1894. Both were over a 100 years old. Even though I live in NJ, I wouldn't think of sending any of my guns to anyone else.

A dear friend of mine put me on to this beautiful remake from EMF, an Alchimista III in .45 Colt with a 5 1/2" barrel.

This gun is a lot of fun and you don't have to be kid sized to shoot it.

I met this young man in Washington, the summer of 2015, terrific shooter. Take a look at this video with a roller and stare in wonder! I love that dinger sound! :)

I got a roller. It's a Remington model made by Pedersoli in .45-70 and has a 26" barrel.

Here are a few pix of mine. I've had it a few years. Don't know if it helps. I'll try to look around for a manual/schematic. I got a lot of my shellholders from E_bay.

I would get the RCBS cowboy die set and forget about it. The 3 pc die set covers any surprise that might come up. I am not the typical CB member. I don't like to fuss around with how to do something.

I would love to tell you guys about one I just picked up. Trouble is I was in the hospital with knee surgery and don't know when I will get out there to tell you anything significant. It will be as...

Thanks guys. That was the point of my question. I shoot the hyphenated cartridges and the CB ones (.45 LC, .357 Mag., etc.) and all of them I shoot cast. The 7mm-08 was my first where I was thinking...

Here's a few pics of my 1st Savage; 1899 B in .30-30 and 26" Barrel born in 1911. This one I am keeping original with no changes. Later on I did add a Marbles Tang Sight. I ain't a world class...

I am hoping to get some kind of clear answer here. I have a few Cowboy RCBS die sets and I like how they work on my older guns. Well now I go out and buy a modern cart, the Ruger #1 in 7mm-08. Of...

Well, I got one I always wanted. And when some prices came down, I got a Ruger #1 in 7mm-08. I forgot to add it is a 1A Sporter.

If you want to reload lead cast bullets, they are one of the best things going.

I don't know if I am imagining things, but it has always seemed to me that the wood on the Pedersolis' were just a bit nicer than the Ubertis'.

I went on the Ruger site trying to find the calibers made in the last few years. No go. So I surfed the ne and this site had a nice list of the last 4-5 years or so. It would help anyone fill in gaps...
