Too bad you didn't have room to just keep it. Especially if it's a good shooter. Guns like that may not look so nice, but scream stories of some kind usually. Open the action and see if it talks to...

I've only saw it on sporter jobs. I did shoot mine with and without front band, it shot better without. But the fit to the barrel may have been off. It's been awhile to remember. But one screw...

How many of you use or have seen the setup of a Krag with an extra mounting or bedding screw drilled and tapped on the forward end of the magazine box? Was looking into doing it on mine since I'd...

Texas, I think it is that brand of stock? Same as the clay target company I think? It is what it is for 80 bucks but has rubber grip inserts, sling eyes, and recoil pad. It's a little flimsy in the...
I've been using 2.2 grs of Titegroup with a 148 hollow base wadcutter in the same revolver. Don't remember oal, but it's about the same as a factory round or a bit longer. Shoots nice, mild, and to...

I'm happy with how mine turned out. It's a keeper. I haven't had a lot of time to do much 35 Rem loading this winter but it'll come.

True, just need a little time. I'm in the middle of fixing up a H&A 932, reamed to 32 S&W long. It goes with my Ruger single six 32.
I have a Savage 219, maybe need to find a donor barrel to work...

Bravo! I have a S&W third model in this dandy little round, something like this would be a great companion.

Holy! That's a beautiful spread of Rollers!

A lot of this info should be taken into consideration for the 38 WCF also. Agreed, very helpful.

Love it! Nice job and good work. Looks like an easy solution for a fun shooter when one needs a different angle.
Forum: Factory Rifles
I wish someone would make another rifle in this gem of a round. Even if it was limited build. Anything to help get the brass and components back down to better prices and easier to find.

I just did an 1895 Chilean this fall in 35 Rem. It works wonderful, light and handy. So far shoots good.

Well making a tap didn't work out so good. The thread is so fine, cutting the chip grooves in it didn't make it sharp enough. And after hardening it just wouldn't cut. So, I decided to turn the base...
Forum: Gunsmithing Tips & Tricks
I can use a lathe. The threads look wore because they're so fine. That was going to be my next thing to do, is to try and make a tap. I'll make a thread first and try it, then convert the threaded...

230094230093I've posted on this before and thought I'd post again because it's been a long time and made some progress. I bought a new barrel for my Third Model double action 38 from Numrich awhile...

Great work Kirk, glad it became a good shooter!

Good luck this weekend. Weather forecast should have them moving.
Forum: Leverguns
I find these loads helpful. It's nice to see others enjoying what these rifles have to offer and the loads for them. My Remington 14 1/2 loves a Speer 200 or 210 gr Gold Dot behind 20grs of Alliant...

I don't know exactly what type of lockup they use, but they're still considered category 1 like 1873 Winchesters.
Forum: Special Projects
Fine project! Looks good and will all come around to be great companion. Another thing that looks like magic is balancing the gun on your block of wood.
Good shooters are always interesting.

Wouldn't be the end of the world to own one, I think they're pretty sporty. But, short. If anything you have an excellent platform to build whatever you want down the road.

Though watching primers is a good way to go, they do funny things on rimmed cases in levers. Getting hammered in flattening is one thing, but cratering can be quite common. Usually they come...
