    I'm hoping to find a 16" in .357 Mag or .45 Colt or maybe one of each. I'm hoping for as light as possible. Still undecided on model.

    I bought this Uberti 1866 Yellowboy from Dixie Gun Works shortly before the coronavirus hit. To be different, it is chambered for .38-40 WCF.

    Black Hills and Ultramax factory loads gave poor accuracy but handholds consisting of a Desperado Cowboy Bullets 180 grain RNFP on top of 7.8 grains of Unique showed promise the last time I shot it. I've also cast some bullets from an Accurate Molds 40-180E to be loaded on top of black powder but haven't lubed and sized them yet.

    I bought a winchester 30/30 this year and last year a mossburg 22. Some walmarts have the Henry 44 mag for 660.00 thinking about getting one.

    You are going to love that 40-180 bullet from Accurate. Be sure to lube it with a proper BP lubricant like SPG of some other BP lubricant.

    Just bought a Winchester ‘73, Miroku of course. Ordered it just before the virus hit so it was a bit of challenge to to pick it up. The color case hardening is nice but not as vibrant as true one charcoal. The walnut stock is great. They didn’t add the tang safety which is great.

    Just yesterday I bought a pre 64 Winchester M 88 in 308. I found it on Armslist and out of several attempts in the past to get someone respond to your request for information this is the first time it worked.

    I know you want to see a pic or it didn't happen but it's already buried in a safe and right now I don't feel like going to get it. It's in nice shape except the stock has one scratch and the sling studs look to have been in and out many times and kinda chewed around the holes.

    My Rossi 92 in 45 Colt arrived Saturday. Pleasantly surprised with the smoothness of the action.
    My LGS said he tried to order another and his suppliers have dried up.

    I bought a Marlin 336C in 30-30 the serial number dates it to early 1947 the first year Marlin Produced Firearms for the Civilian market after WWII. It is a super fun shooter. It is the only Lever Gun I own at the moment.

    Picked up a Marlin 1894CB in 45 colt on Jan 2. Despite the Marlin worries the last couple of years, this rifle is very nice with a great trigger, and for some reason, Cabela's had it on sale for a truly great (too good to pass up) price.

    I picked up a 1909 vintage model 92, 24" octagon barrel rifle with a marbles tang sight in .25-20 about a month ago.
    It goes very nicely with the 1928 vintage model 92, 24" octagon barrel rifle in .38-40 that I inherited from my Grandfather who inherited it from his father.

    Bought a Browning 1886 .45-70 SRC from a LGS 5/02/20. In excellent condition, bought it because it doesn't have the rebounding hammer and tang safety.

    Winchester 1886 made in 1893 chambered in 40-82WCF with a 30" octagon barrel. I formed 100 brass from S-Line 45-90 and turned the necks to chamber a .410 bullet.

    Ordered a 19" Uberti 1866 carbine in .45 Colt yesterday from Cabelas since they're $250 off right now. I don't think $899.97 + tax is a bad price.

    Waiting on it to get shipped to the Huntsville store....

    Not new but I restored one of my favorite gun. My 1886. So it looks new to me. Not sure if il go for a darker browning or not. Maybe another layer.
