Well picked up my uberti hi wall in 44-40 last month. Finally got to shoot it this week.

Slugged the bore, .429

I replaced the pedersoli sights with a Lee Shaver mid range tang and his large...

Sorting through my 45-70 stuff I found a bag of 45-90 brass.
More stuff I did not know I had.

Got looking at it and found several rounds head stamped WRA 45-90 but the rest are head stamped WRA...

I've got one by uberti. probably about the same when it comes to stocks.

Top tang has a machine screw. bottom tang has a wood screw, big one closest to the end of the tang.
Take them both out...

I've got a 1980's marlin 1894s in 44 mag.

I use the lyman 429421 Keith mold, both the original and later revision. Cast a 240-250 grn boolit depending on lead.

The marlin cycles them just fine!

I picked up a spanish carbine for a project this summer, came with about 20 rounds of brass. Some of its junk, showing rings and a few are split.

Not sure how much of it's actually worth a hoot...

Just acquired a very nice Cabela's branded Uberti model 1873 in 44-40, 30 inch barrel.

Good news, kind of fell in my lap. Has never been dinked with. Actions a little dirty, dry and stiff. Bore...

Just my thoughts on this one.

Years ago I bought a uberti 1873 with a 24 inch barrel in 45 colt. Barrel slugged at 453 best we could tell. Tried all kinds of bullet designs and oversized boolits...

Well Cabela's called me letting me know the rifle was in.
Went down to take a look at it.
Is in better shape than described. Seems well balanced, just a bit barrel heavy but to my surprise I can...

I also have a remington roller in 44-40, a little saddle ring carbine. It handles great, shoots as good as I can hold it. I think the baby pedersoli rb would be a nice one to play with.

Cost! Yep! Back in the 90's a good uberti copy was $500-600 tops! Of course back then the kids and family came first. Bought my first uberti rolling block back then used for $250. Skip forward to...

Thank you! That's what I was looking for.

I ordered a mold back in April, brass two cavity.
It was at my door in 4 weeks. Darn good mold, real happy with it!
Been thinking about another one. But will wait and see if the fog clears?

Been looking for a decent rifle in 44-40 for a while now.

So a few days ago I found a used Uberti hi wall chambered in 44-40 online at a cabela's back east.

Gave them a call and talked with...

Thinking on getting an 45/70 barrel for my 1975 H&R 158 Topper

My 158 was made in 1975 and came from the factory with a 30-30 barrel, matching serial numbers on both.

Looking at the pressure...

Thanks for the ideas!

Went out and piddled with it, reset the deprime/size and bell dies. Put 5 cases in the auto feed and primers in the priming stage. Once I got it feeding the primers, ran off...

Ok I have a Dillion 650 that I had set up to reload 44-40 with.

Was setup for smokeless powder rounds.

I started loading black powder rounds a few months ago so I switched over to my old rock...

Was messing with my roller carbine last night.

After touching up the sight channel on the barrel sight with a file, it made the sight picture a bit better but still not happy with it. Way too much...

What tang sight you using? Really thinking on going with a mid range on my carbine. Either an MVA or the Lee Shaver?

Great build you have going!

Guys, it's been a rough week with Bob being sick.

We were able to spend Saturday evening with him and his family. We had a very nice bbq. Many friends showed up to give hime hugs and loves.

My...

Wanting to make this rear sight a bit more friendly. Sitting on an early Remington rolling block carbine.

I replaced the front sight with a taller marbles with a gold bead, carbine was at one time...

Late to the party but want to chime in on this.

Been playing with a rolling block carbine in 44-40. Been loading the cases with 36grns of Goex ffg, lots of compression (just under 1/4 inch) in...

I want to thank all who commented with kind words and life experiences!

Me and my wife spent today at Bobs home, with his whole family and circle of friends.
I tell you, his home is just bulging...

Don't know where to start or what to say? This hurts!!

I met Bob 19 years ago, truck driver. I had been with the company a year before he was hired on.
Great guy, always happy, funny and just...

I ordered a mold from accurate back around April 21st. Had it in my hands in less than 4 weeks. I was impressed.

Back in the 90's I picked up a heavy barreled Remington rolling block chambered in 44-77.
Was one of my favorites, just at the time I could not afford the brass. Raising a young family puts a lot of...
