Hummm, our two Browning 1886's made in the mid-80's (I believe) by made by Miroku as are the current Browning/Winchester 1886's. So I don't understand the 'Jap Winchesters' vs 'the Browning...

Is 5744 available to you? We use 30 gr. of 5744 with a 405 gr boolits in both Winchester 1886's and a Shilo Sharps rifle with great success. A modest roll crimp reduces almost entirely any un-burned...

Is this what you were remembering ?

OK, I'll bite and show my ignorance - what is a FCD die?

WoW ~ ~ ~ I didn't realize what a bad idea this was. I was not thinking of casting equipment. Only loading equipment. An ol' Lyman tool and dies, some powder/primers some brass. But as I read...

andre3k, who is Scott Parker? and how do we contact him? Google?

Here is one for you survival/prepper folks, has anyone already come up with a 'grab-an-go' box that will hold the essential reloading tools? Single stage press, dies, powder measure, scale ? Not...

I know, it's goofy. Square Butte may go ahead with Macon and get good results - or - maybe not. I think what upset me the most was the way they talked to me. and of course the poor response. ah,...

OK, that batch worked. I'll try the second. Keep in mind these photos were taken today after the rifle had been to the 'shop' twice and an attempt to use a filler of some type. This ran between...

osteodoc08, very sorry to hear of your father's passing. It can be tuff, I know. Square Butte, I will try to attach some photos, cross your fingers. The first set I am trying to show quality of...

Howdy SB, when we replaced the wood we did both ends. The factory wood was good but plain - and - I don't care for the bowling ball hard finish. I stripped my rifle and refinished in a tongue oil...

About three years ago we bought our second Browning 1886 RIFLE. This one for my daughter to use, restocked w/a shot gun butt plate, in our SASS matches. My cresent but plate eats her up. Anyway...

My Winchester M71 has been here about 18 or so years .... but I find myself running short of brass ..... anyone have a lead on new brass ????

Knudsen Hat Co. at GOLDEN GATE WESTERN WEAR . . . my family has six of the " Major's" hats and my sass shooting pard has two. Great hats and a great gentleman to work with. We are lucking in that we...

big bore, I seem to remember that the "AA" / "XMP" change can about when the company changed hands, what, about 3 years or so ago. I am sure some one here can 'confirm or deny' .

Rick, have you considered a barrel ladder sight ? I have a MVA mid range 130 series on my sharps and it works wonderfully! It will not however work on my 1886 Winchester. I am considering replacing...

My mould arrived on the 14th . . . . . dam its pretty !! One half brain says "Yipeeeeee ! Lets go make boolits !" The other half said " NO! Its too pretty !"

Well, once again I enjoy the 'bench' photos. Some great ideas.. How ever I also enjoy what I see in the back ground !! Calender photos, saved targets, tool related to other things, flags , posters,...

Howdy !! Pmt made thru PayPal . . . . . looking forward to my FIRST mold from Miha !!

I ran through this about two years ago. I had an original M71 rifle and a Browning/Miroku M71 carbine. I also had a B/M M1886 in .45-70 that was made in the 1980's . . . not the current production...

My Daughter and I shoot a 1874 Sharps in .45-70. Our tang mounted rear sight (MVA) works well w/the globe front sight. The factory barrel mounted buck horn sight does not inter fear. We quickly...

OK, XTR & TX I wll check these guys out. Thanks for the advice.

Thanks for the response. Macon did my Daughters 1886 and I will not let them do mine. I am afraid to send hers back.

Howdy boys and girls. I have a 1980's Miroku Winchester 1886 in .45-70 that I want to restock. After stripping off that horrible high shine finish, I found out the stock had light wood on one side...
