Although not too old I hadn't seen any for a while. I p/u a grab bag of sorts last week. It had among it's contents a few boxes of ammo. I dated them to the late 70s so not very vintage. The first...

Barrel lug to frame pin is critical. If it doesn't fit you have to either remove material from the lug or shim it. I've done a few and it's not difficult. Patience grasshopper. Yeah the guys on GB...

This January weather in the Ohio valley has made for some good smelting days. I'm back at it again today making ingots.

Holy cow, I gained four lbs reading this thread. Biscuits and gravy of any flavor rank near the top of my favorites.

It snowed enough to cover the ground and melted right after daylight a week ago in northern WV. I live along the Ohio River and we see our share of the white stuff but I don't care for it. 55 deg and...
Makes me wonder how rare a 221 Fireball set may be.

I have 2 of the W&H frames and can tell you they are SB2s. I've fitted several different barrells to them and they will withstand full power 45/70 loads with no problems. The high pressure cartridges...

I was just imagining the 25-10 as being a cartidge you could stand about 75yds out and catch the bullets with a good baseball glove.

Thanks for the info. I had thought about relining it to .22.

I ran onto a No 4 in a cartridge I've never seen. It is stamped 25-10RF. Can anyone school me on this cartridge? I thought about buying this rifle. The asking price is $299. I wonder what the...

I p/u a Wesson & Harrington 1871 BC last week. $300 tax free for mine. You got a deal for sure. This one is 14yrs old and unfired. Not for long though. Need to get some brass and a mold.

Something I've figured out years ago you get of out it what you put into it. If it's a piece of trash I'll find out, but think not. It has it's purpose and I will figure it out.

I just got back from the gs and I bought the Wesson & Harrington for a flat $300, no tax. Now I need to do some research and see what types of sights people are having sucess with. Then time to check...

I spotted one of these at the local dealer yesterday in 45-70. It looks like a carbon copy of the H&R Buffalo Classic. It has a 32" barrel and no sights. The rear sight holes are plugged and the...

Over 5k since I retired. If it runs on gunpowder or gasoline I'm probably right in the middle of things. I'm going to increase my time at the bench. I loaded 850rnds of 45acp last week. Just bought...
I have owned a 744VH 8 since 1982. A Monson, Ma. jewel that puts a smile on my face every time I take it to the range. I've shot numerous whitetails over the years and could not begin to count the...

I've been hunting with the same Dan Wesson 744VH8 for so long I've lost count. This revolver has been a constant companion in the woods for close to 20 yrs. I scoped it quite a few yrs ago. Best game...

I've went the pipe cutter route myself and if done slowly you can make the entire cut. Dress it with a round file and some emery cloth and it will turn out fine. I would not touch the stock, in a...

My 44mag has done a best of 2" @ 100yds with the Lee 310gr RFNGC sitting over max loads of H110. Kind of depessing considering my Dan Wesson 744VH8 will do 3" with the same load. I found one in the...
