A little update on this old 22wcf rifle. I picked the rifle up at my local Cabela's store and the exterior was as expected for the age of the rifle. The person I bought the rifle from told me he...

I certainly agree about all Contender items have gotten to the point of being overpriced. It was not that long ago you could find barrels fairly regular for around the $250 mark. Same goes for most...

I agree with what has already been said about the earlier model frames. I have frames that are easy open and pre easy open and I find that there is a little difference between the two but that is...

I recently purchased an RCBS 32-77RN mold that looks like it has not been cast with but have not tried it yet. I suspect this big iron mold will be the same way and want to be ran hot and a single...

I recently purchased from a member here an Arsenal 5 cavity 32 Keith SWC 98gr mold. The first cast was disappointing. As usual I had this mold in rotation with 2 others. After casting about half a...

I recently purchase an Arsenal mold from a member here that is a real gem. It is a 5 cavity 98 gr keith SWC mold. It casts boolits that measure .315" so it can be sized to what ever size...

The 1885 I was looking at was in the Cabela's Gun Library in Ohio and I went ahead and bought it and its being sent to the Cabela's store near me. I don't think I could paper patch a 22 caliber...

That is what I expected to hear. The seller says based on the S/N it should have been made around 1902. I have 4 different 22 molds but I don't think any will cast that large. I guess a custom...

I am looking at a old 1885 low wall in 22WCF and found a chart that shows the dimension of this old cartridge compared to Remington and Winchester 22 Hornet dimensions. It shows the 22WCF bullet...

I lucked into a little Uberti Roller not long ago at a local gun show. It has a little Bushnell 4x scope mounted. Don't know how much it weighs but its pretty lite. I don't do any woods walking...

I can relate to that. Had to open up the aperture in my 1874 sight as well. It tuff getting old in more ways than one.

I am defiantly finding out that 405 brass is hard to find and when you do find some it will be at least $2.00 (at Gary Reeder's) or more per round. Maybe I'll have some luck finding some at the...

Thanks for the info. I am sure the 405 will be ok if I can ever locate any at a good price. I did neck up a 303 British case yesterday and shot it a couple time just to see how it worked. Even...

Just checked and they are really proud of their brass. I'll wait for some used 405 Winchester. I'm headed to Tulsa gun show next month, maybe I'll get lucky and find some brass there. Thanks for...

Thanks Vall That at least lets me know which model I found and a little about the gun. The rifle looks unmolested. I'm very excited to have this piece of history. Looking forward to getting...

I picked up an unbelievable deal today at a local Pawn Shop. I've been looking to add a Ballard to my single shot collection and today was the day. To be honest with everyone I don't know the first...

I have a nice old S&W M34-1 and tonight I won an auction on Gun Broker for a complete parts kit from Gunbusers for the 34. I bought it mainly for the target grips that were included but the spare...

Thanks a lot remy, I had forgotten about owning a 52 until this thread resurrection and now it has me looking at 52's on Gun Broker again. I've been happy in my own little world searching for...

I shoot a number of different calibers and enjoy them all but my all time favorite has to be my Browning 1885 Traditional Hunter 38-55. With a 250gr bullet it shoot tight groups and make you smile...

Thanks to both for your replies. The 300 I referred to was probably meters seeing where the rifles came from and the matches they were shooting.

Your comment about the diopter effect was...

Does anyone own or shoot a Swedish 6.5x55 CG63 rifle with diopter sight? I would like to hear the max range this sight is good for, I have read they are good to 300 yards, I was hoping for maybe a...

Nothing delusional here and I stopped reading gun magazines years ago, waste of money, so no gun writer made me want to buy a trapper. I live in the wide open spaces of Texas, I have 4 Browning...

Yes it is incredible. Most waters in Colorado are cold but above 10K you can count on it. Love the black powder gun, looks like a copy of the 1860 Army.

Your photography ability is not lacking anything, those pictures are amazing. I especially like the first picture with the reflection on the lake. Colorado is my favorite place on earth to...

I must add to the above comments about your rifles, they are beautiful. Your photography skills are equally outstanding. I've never owned a No. 1 but wouldn't mind owning one some day. I can't get...
