I am looking at a 1873 Winchester, 38-40. The rifle is exceptionally fine to look at. I noticed the dust cover was slightly raised above the action. Seller said this is normal. Is he right? ...

I reload 45-70 for my 1884 trapdoor. I am getting low on ffg BP and finding a local source is next to impossible. So, I was wondering, can I use fffg as a substitute? I load 70 grains of ffg...

To all who replied. I, too, like the Uberti. I have 2 of their cap and ball revolvers and they are indeed beautiful.

In your opinion, which is the best? I'm wanting one in 44-40 cal. with a 24" barrel.

I started casting back in the early 70's with a Lyman pot similar to that. Mine has an adjustible mold rest that clamps to the legs. So, it is still going strong at about 40 years.

Buy those little plastic hole covers that are used on furniture screw holes to cover the cross bolt hole.

How does one remove the cross bolt?

I had read somewhere how to remove that cross bolt. It is ugly and I want to remove it. The procedure used a paper clip to push down a plunger, then push out the cross bolt. Try many times, still...

Awhile back, I remember seeing an ad for a Cimarron 1873 Winchester replica rifle in 38-40. It had a very long barrel, maybe 26 inches or longer. It was a very nice looker. Anyone have info on...

Thank you

sight radius is 26 1/4 inch
sight is 5/16 inch above barrel
rear sight is 1/2 inch above barrel
at 100 yds., bullets hit approx. 12-15 high using the 6-oclock hold

As noted in several threads, my M1884 rifle shoots way high. I want to raise the front sight to shoot dead-on at 100 yards. I will try to modify the original sight. I tried to remove the sight...

Fishing sinkers are a good source for slugging the barrel. Come in all diameters to fit your caliber.

RE: dust will ignite. Yes, it will. Not only BP dust, but, grain dust too. Grain elevators/storage companies have been known to explode. Happened right here in S.E. Iowa a few tears ago. Blew...

Possibly using a larger bore cleaning brass brush running it into the stuck case neck and twisting, pulling and pushing will dialodge it. Squirt some WD40 in there too.

I read the thread on how to make dovetail cuts in barrels. Very good info.
Now, I have a Winchester M94 which I mounted a Williams receiver peep sight and removed the factory rear sight. I'm left...

Any load data such as powder charge, filler wads and boolit weights?

Twenty years ago, I sold my entire collection of firearms. Included was: Devine M1A, Colt AR-15, Ruger 3-screw 41 Mag., Ruger 30 Carbine, Ruger 3-screw 44 Mag, Ruger 44 mag w/10 inch barrel, Ithica...

Great contribution! How does one make dovetail fillers? I replaced the factory rear sight on my Winchester M94 with a Williams receiver mounted peep sight. I'm left with an ugly open dovetail.
