Wow. Which is to say, WOW! Nice wood and case colors, not to mention the case. Absolutely beautiful!

VERY NICE! Is that a Hartford model?

That's right! I forgot that my Winchester catalog came from him. Thanks for reminding me. Also, the other day I loaded some 44WCF bullets that he had sent me for testing (these were "leftovers")...

I doubt that I've ever come across a person who was more generous to "strangers" (we who only knew him online). He offered time, support, suggestions and encouragement, even mailing sample boolits...

Thanks, rfd. I do like that rifle. It's not my most expensive, but it ranks high among my favorites.

OK, this is almost embarrassing, considering the amazing, beautiful rifles pictured here. This is my ordinary, relatively cheap Pedersoli Sharps that I bought used off Gunbroker for $850. It wears...

DON'T SELL YOUR `86! I too have both, but I'd be very sorry to lose the '86. I've never had an issue with mine and it's a superb gun. You'd be sorry if you sold or traded it away. Trust me on...

Prayers said. God is faithful.

Actually, I expected that too, but I've had the gun for nearly 20 year's and I haven't had a problem with it "infecting" the others.

Again, I appreciate the advice from everyone.

Griff

I'm concerned about either chemicals or heat damaging the stock or its finish. Any thoughts about that?

Thanks, gents. Those are some things to try. It sounds like they may have Concrobium at the local Home Depot. I appreciate the suggestions.

I have a Lee-Enfield that tends to grow mildew on the stock. I’ve had it since 1994 and it has always been a problem. The gun spends most of its time in a metal gun security cabinet in my unheated...

I don't really have a dog in this fight, but my experience in other areas is that you tend to hear a lot more about people who have had problems with a product than people who have not. When people...

I really like Turnbull's colors too. I'm not jealous. Well, maybe just a little.

I didn't answer right away, hoping that someone with more direct experience would answer. I currently shoot only cast bullet loads in the .45-70 and have mainly used R-7, but a few years ago, I...

If I had known that w30wcf was going to answer, I wouldn't have commented. He is one of the most experienced and knowledgeable men on this cartridge I know. Hear him.

Slug the bore to choose the proper size. .427 may be traditional, but many guns like a larger size. My guns all work well with .429, fortunately. Some, but not all will freely chamber .430. I've...

I learn a lot too. I joined back in 2010 and still only have a small handful of posts because I mostly read and learn. You're right--inside primed center fire cases are kind of different from what...

I didn't notice when I replied that the original post was from the dim and distant past. Oh well, the info is still good.

I worked with Tom at Accurate Molds a couple of years ago to create a mold that closely replicates the outward appearance of the original bullet, but without the hollow base. I also had him increase...

Josh Randall's "Mare's Leg" was a cut down'92 Winchester in 44 WCF and they used 5-in-1 blanks. He had 45-70 rounds in his belt because it looked cooler, but when Josh reloads, he's putting blanks...

Wow. Was that really my first post after joining 3 years ago? I've sure learned a lot by reading.

I love Winchester '73 too, and all the '73's are really cool. My trouble with the movie is all the times the actors hold up '73s and call them "Henrys". They'll be holding a '73 Winchester and say...
