Nope eBay banned the sale of full and correct vintage ammo boxes even if “contents will be gifted to buyer of box” years ago. I have collected vintage 22 boxes for 45 years now and have several...

Mike Venturino, just found out, RIP Mike your writings will be missed.

The only complaint I have about my five Rossi’s — don’t know if they changed manufacturing in the last twelve years or so and I have Steve’s Gunz spring kits and mods done and they are a dream!

JMHO but —- the CB caps maybe not fast enough? Or have you tried regular 22 LR or do ordinances or people who are too close? My grandson and I get them all the time with a CO2 .22 pellet gun

We have always had gas — at least the last 30 years, hate electric. I’d guess you’re looking at a range in the $1K range…I do NOT mess with gas myself, don’t ask why…..

WOW, just WOW. I guess I should be happy I never pulled the trigger on a Star sizer or Magma caster. I can’t believe *someone* isn’t going to buy the rights to these and keep on producing them…..

Try 30-1 from Rotometals, Steve Brooks turned me on to this. A couple of my 1895 45-70’s slug right at what yours is, I cast at .462 then lube and size at .461, I also use 4198 and get fantastic...

Man the thought of a 39A just made my checkbook flinch……

Dude those are called “Bear” boxes and are worth a lot of money if original contents are there.

One way is to look for a child warning, this was not implemented until 1962. I’d guess boxes are 50’s, early 60’s maybe? I have several of the same..

Grew up shooting a Marlin 39A with my dad. That one was stolen on a B&E when I was 12, wanted one ever since. I have several Marlins now but no 39A, I can’t believe what they bring now. I do LOVE my...

I can’t offer any advice but I can say “Thank you Jesus for letting me live where I live”

That’s horrible and I feel for you man.

I can second that, I’m a pre-WW II 22 box collector and have done business with them a LOT. Talk to Eric Ward, very straight shooter and if you got any vintage 22 boxes to get rid of….LOL

Pretty much because you can, *most* of those builds if you notice have either Art Morrison frames/suspension or Roadster shop with VERY specialized drive trains. Now as far as 1K HP goes, the next...

Don’t drill except as a last resort. Get a small cheap soldering iron that you can get down in the hex and heat after using a real penetrating oil - then get/file *sometging* down to snugly fit in...

I recently wrote them (Turnbull) for my 1886’s…….$1300 for the tang safety/half notch hammer conversion.

That is a wrecked gun…..but the action (besides the stupid scribe…) is one of my favorites.

This is not only good for new casters, but it’s a GREAT review for those of us who have been casting for decades. I normally use Lyman #2 from Rotometals, have for a couple of decades now. Having...
