So I placed the Wolff Spring kit in this Mitchell Arms 45 Colt and the pull back on the hammer is nice and slick now. Very smooth action. Before it was very stiff. As far as the finish goes, I...

I just ordered a Wolff Spring Kit from Brownells. Tonight I completely disassembled it and gave it a good cleaning. She was a dirty girl. Then I lubed everything up with Blackie Thomas’s Gun...

It also says Commiefornia on it too, so there’s that.

Yeah, but what model Uberti would this be? I’m looking at changing out the springs. I have two other Unerti’s but they’re Cimarron’s and the actions are much lighter than this one. Thinking about...

Does anyone know anything on Mitchell Arms? Picked up one today. I know they’re no longer in business and they imported from Uberti, but I don’t know much more than that. It’s a Single Action Army...

Thanks Everyone for the comments and sorry for my long absence in responding. Soon after my post I developed some back issues that’s had me down. Finally got a spinal block and that’s helped a lot....

Yes Sir, the bullets are undersized as the bore in this rifle measures out to .433”. A .429” bullet is as big as I can really go as going to a .430” or bigger, I can’t get the lever to close. So I...

Nobade, I’m already using John’s bullet that’s cast from the Accurate 43-215C Mold and it’s actually performing the worst at and over 50 yards. And I’m using pure lead and a 40 grain charge of Swiss...

Here’s where I’m at. My original Winchester Model 73 that’s chambered in 44wcf, just isn’t getting it done when shooting at 50 yards or more. With the Big Lube Groove Boolit cast from pure lead and...

I’ll be checking that one out too. I’d like one that’s close to the original if possible. I know the Lee Mould just isn’t the right shape from the original.

I’ll check it out.

It’s a original, but the bore is good. I don’t remember what it slugged too, as that was a few years ago, but I think it was at or close to .459”.

Does anyone here cast a 500 grain Boolit for Springfield Trapdoor, and if so, what mould are you using? Looking for best options for 45-70.

Yeah the Lee FCD is putting a slight bulge in the case that’s only .001” too big. For now I’m just placing each round in the press and just giving the neck a slight kiss with the resizing die. Just...

Ok, I have the issue figured out now. Some grease pencil and a lot of measuring cases from top to bottom on many cases (Black and Smokeless), the issue has been found and resolved. It was just a...

So I’ve been loading 44wcf for sometime now, but I’ve always loaded for my old Winchester Model 1873 which is 144 years old. I also load for a 130 year old Winchester 73 as well and so far to date,...

Someone always wanting to be different or have a different way of doing things sometimes.

The GOOP hand cleaner that I remember didn’t have any pumice in it. There was a GoJo hand cleaner that did, but GOOP and GoJo are not the same.

Very Nice!! I have a 1884 TD and it’s a blast to shoot. Enjoy! I actually have a video coming out soon about my TD too. I hope to do some better shooting videos with it later. I load 405 hollow...

Now here she is running some Black. The smokeless loads are fun to run through this gun, but the Black is so much better. That is up until the cleaning has to be done that is. But man am I...

Here’s a short video on the final results on this old Winchester now that I have her back to shooting condition. It’s definitely been fun.

Absolutely!! I have another 73 that’s 130 years old. It’s in rough condition cosmetically, but after a year of working on the internals it’s now a good shooter. Didn’t spend much on it, so this...

Very Good!!! [emoji106][emoji106]

Yeah, I was really contemplating on starting a new post, but since it was a continuation of a old post that’s just kinda been put on hold, I thought that it would be fitting to kinda pick up where I...
