I have one of these too. Mine says Parker Hale on it, and Birmingham England on the barrel. I love it for muzzle loader season.

Let me know when you have one available for Winny 94 in .30-30 170 grain cast boolit. Put me on the list too !

I have a plain Jane ( no mods ) Winny 94 Legacy in .30-30. I have a BLR in .308. I have a Jap 95 in .30-06 and a Marlin 95 GS in .45 - 70. I have a Uberti 1873 in .45 Colt and a Uberti 1876 in...

I put a scout scope on my Winny 95 SRC in .30-06. I use 200 grain cast in it too. I had to make a mount to go on the barrel though, as none are available anywhere.
Forum: Swaging
OK, not to hijack your thread here, but can the same thing be done to make .45 ACP from .40 S&W cases ? I don't have a .40 but I can pick up a lot of range brass for free. I also have a hungry 1911A1
Forum: Our Town
I have a CCW permit and tote a full size 1911A1. I load my own with CB from a LEE 200 gr RNFP. I shoot the same boolit and powder charge in my .45 Colt revolvers too. ACWW pushed by 5.5 grains...

I have a new made 95 Winny saddle ring carbine. Mine's in .30-06 though, but I feed it a diet of 200 grain CB from a LEE mold and it seems to do just fine. It hits what I aim it at. I paid about $...
Forum: Leverguns
I have to agree on this one. I learned that the fastest speed ain't always the most accurate either. I still shoot my .30-30 a lot, but bought a '95 Winny in .30-06 for the speed factor.
I guess I'm a lucky guy. I use that mold in .45 ACP and in .45 Colt. I shoot it in a Chinese Norinco .45. I shoot it in a Uberti Cattleman peacemaker model revolver, and also in a Navy Arms breaktop...

OK, I'll confess to one AD also. Years ago I had a friend who bought one of the first Ruger semi autos with the decocker. Being unfamiliar with it ( I always carried a 1911 ) , I was fiddling with it...

I have the exact same gun from the same company.... except mine says " 1861 " on the lock plate.... and the barrel is slightly shorter. I was told that my Gibbs gun was a musketoon. Or maybe even an...

I have a chance to pick up a used Browning 1886 chambered for .45-70. I 've always wanted a .50-110 1886, but can't really afford an original. If I rebarrel this Browning to .50-110 what other...

I have one I shoot in .50-95. I like it well enough. I burn Trail Boss in it to toss a 350 grain boolit out of the end. I'm hunting with it this season. It should kill Bambi fairly well I reckon.
