I have had the same issue cashing them at the PO. The one time they had enough $$ to cash one the clerk had to go into the back and call someone, somewhere, to verify it was good. Took a LONG time...

So....is the S2 part of the serial number?? I thought this simply meant this was a 12 Gauge and the three digit 9XX was the serial number....confusing. Thanks.

Picked up a Browning Lightning over/under recently that I think has a bit of age on it. Lots of info on the internet about s/n's and dates of manufacture but I can't seem to find anything useful.

I don't own one of those, but if I owned THAT one and was planning to redo everything anyway, I would take a couple of days and clean the heck out if it, agressively just to see what was under all...

I use both 4198 and Unique. I use PPU 8x56R brass fireformed to my rifles. Comes up a little short but seems a lot easier to convert than 45/70. Haven't shot any of them in a while, but they are...

I would like to see a pic or two of your BSA!

Fitz, is your rechambered 444 on an SB1 or SB2 frame? Thanks.
Plus, this one is a rebore by JES. Need to pull it out and see if he marked the twist rate.
Forum: Black Powder Cartridge
Anyone loading .444 Marlin with BP?? Thinking it is not quite rocket science, fill up the case and put the boolit on top and go. I've searched the forum but I am apparently not very good using the...

By dump it I'm hoping he actually means toss it in the dumpster, don't pass it on to some other poor shooter to deal with.

I had a similar situation with an IAB repo Sharps rifle a buddy sold me. About a 40% failure to fire first pull rate. We had several brands of both brass and primes and using primed brass only we...

You gotta go with the double if you really want an "express gun experience". Single barrel is simply a slug gun, lots available, rifled or not, scope or open sights.
You may also want to consider...
Forum: Leverguns
I'm kinda over lever actions, but that does look interesting, especially at that price point.
Early ones will probably sell at a premium.

Yep, something could always go wrong during the printing process and if you have the PDF it is easy to reprint.

That is a very good idea. Every little bump seems to make me bruise and/or bleed these days. I have some of those in my hurricane shutter kit as I use them to cover the screws that don't get...

Not a chart, but the USPS website will calculate it for you. Drop down the menu to calculate a price and fill in the info.

No, I don't thing it can be formed from any other existing case. Several years ago ER Shaw had Mauser threaded barrels in 450 Marlin and I put one together using a commercial 98 magnum action. My...

Waiting on a package, supposed to be delivered today (Monday). Saturday it was 10 miles from its destination, today it is 150 miles from its destination. No rhyme or reason sometimes.

Thank you! Wall Hanger it is, if I ever come up with enough wall space.
Did see an H&A breech block for sale on evilbay but don't know enough about these to know if it would fit. Thanks again.
Forum: Single Shot Guns
It does have the cheeks. Haven't done anything to it other than cleaning off the barrel markings. As you can see, missing some parts.

Thread hijack, sorry.
I picked up an H&A shotgun that is missing the breech block and possibly the extractor and not sure what else. Anyone have an exploded view of one of these so I can see what...
Forum: Black Powder Cartridge
Thanks for the report. I have a 43 Spanish that has been cut down to a "sporter". Haven't really done much with it and appreciate your data. This is for the regular 43 Spanish correct? and not the...
Forum: Case Forming / Re-forming
Just wondering. I see posts where guys are making .410 shotshells out of both 303 British and 444 Marlin. So, is it possible to make 444 Marlin from 303 British. Would be fired in a single shot so...
