I have 2 Puma's in 44 Magnum a 20" Carbine and a 24" Western Rifle. Both rifles have oversize bores at 0.433" - 0.434". I sent the carbine back under warranty with a 0.434" bore and they replaced the...

Another outstanding job Rick,
I enjoyed seeing you at the SHOT SHOW and enjoyed your company.
I agree with all of your comments about the Winchester 94's... they won't get any of my dollars...
High energy loads in the Ruger 45 Colt revolvers are possible within reasonably safe Ruger Only loads; however, these power levels won't be enjoyable for most shooters and I agree if you need a...

Do yourself a favor and get a 38-55 Marlin Cowboy; one of the best cartridges you'll ever shoot in a wonderful rifle with enough power for anything in the lower 48.
I love the 1892 and 1896 style...

Here you go:
30-30 lifters and guides will work fine for 38-55 or 375 Winchester. The easiest swap is to put a Winchester 375 Winchester barrel on a Winchester 30-30 and relabel it a 38-55 after...

If you're going to have the barrel recut I would consider 1:16 or 1:15 twist rate for 35 caliber to take advantage of the 140 - 225 Grain bullets and spec the pistol bullet groove diameter of 0.357"...

What is your Zip?
I don't have any addresses in Tennessee on my list.

1. What is the groove diameter of your barrel?
2. Is the barrel throated and is there a lead into the rifling?
3. What is the diameter of the pulled bullets?
4. How hard is the bullet alloy?
I...

I don't like the dual crimp groove business and in my mind it isn't a real 640 design with 2 crimp grooves; however, I'm going to jump on this buy because it looks like it won't happen otherwise.
