Thanks for posting this. Looks like it should be a fun gun. At that price point I may be interested myself. Did a little searching and most all videos of these shotguns show the cycling of the action...

Thanks everyone. Yes, I am trying to determine land diameter. Never used pin gauges before and would rather not spend the $ for something that will see such little use. I will try to find some bore...

Is there a way to measure bore diameter without buying a bore gauge?

Two new to me rifles. A 40-65 and a 45-70. Want to try some bullets before ordering molds. Would also like to try some heavier bullets in a 38-55. I cast two bullets now that are both around 250 gr....

I would like to try a few of their bullets. Anyone deal with them?

Yes it looks like an Alexander Henry. How can you tell what kind of steel it is?

It is for sure, but that is the mid range action and I'm referring to the long range action, if it makes a difference. Not able to post a picture of it for some reason.

While Steve Earle Products does not recommend the use of smokeless powder in the Wesson #1 action, could it be loaded with smokeless powder to Trapdoor levels safely?
Should add 45-70.

Thank you and appreciate the offer. I actually got a pound of AA1680 a while ago so I'm set. It will be the next powder I test. Are you shooting cast or jacketed bullets? I hope it works well with...

I would like to read a review of this chronograph from an owner.
Forum: Gunsmithing Tips & Tricks
Thanks for all the replies so far. This rifle is built on the Wesson #1 action and if it is a Steve Earle action, he says that perhaps it is an aftermarket modification. I did try adjusting the...

I recently bought a custom rifle built on a F. Wesson #1 (Steve Earle Products I believe) action with double set triggers. The hammer will not stay cocked unless the rear trigger is set first, then...

Cap'n Morgan, if you ever decide to offer those butt plates for sale, I would be interested.

My experience has been that there are a lot of good accurate cartridges out there. The three things that make a cartridge great are barrels, bullets and brass.

So, if I am reading this right, the grooves get deeper as the bullet moves from chamber to muzzle? Seems the opposite would be better.

My understanding is the Johnson's paste wax has been discontinued also. I can't find it anywhere. Also have read that Trewax brand paste wax with carnuba can be used as a substitute. Has anyone tried...

Sorry, I am referring to the instructions that came with the trigger. I believe they explain how to adjust the pull weight. the unset weight on mine is a little heavy. The set weight is OK. Thanks...

Does anyone have the instructions and could you share them here? Thanks in advance.

Auction price or sale price? I've been trying to buy at $1 each and no luck! Hard to get 32-20 or 218 bee for that. Fortunately I found some used 218 bee brass at an estate sale reasonably priced.
I found a very small burr on one rod that caused it to stick.
