The stock and forend on a 92 is the same as a 94, same with the magazine tube, so those parts are out there if you look around. The barrel will be the expensive part. Small parts are drying up and...

I was just going to mention a Trapdoor Springfield. Nowadays these are usually going for north of your $750 budget in good shape, but if the one you saw for $350 is a decent shooter, go for it,...

I recently acquired this Peabody rifle in a trade after looking for about a year to find a single shot 45-70 to use in my club's cast bullet matches. I was considering some trapdoors and rolling...

Your call, but unless it was in good enough shape to be a decent shooter, I'm not sure I'd really care what stories it could tell in that condition. But for the price range you are talking about, I...

+1. IMO that why I use 45 S&W now in my antique Colt SAA and if I wanted to reduce the charge even further, 45 Special would be a good way to go. Preferable to using wads and fillers IMO to otherwise...

Lyman 429215 would be one to look at. 200gr GC bullet. I like the idea of a Keith bullet in 44 spec brass too.

Wind River was written and directed by Taylor Sheridan, the creator of the Yellowstone TV show. Lots of lever guns in that one too. He must be a fan!

I use it in 25-20 and a pound goes a long way at a charge weight of about 9 grs.

I forgot to delete that step when I edited my comment. You probably won't need to remove the front sight cover. Only if you need to remove the front band, but you shouldn't need to do that just to...

Remove front sight cover. Remove band and magazine plug screws. Be careful plug and spring don't fly out of tube. Remove plug, spring and follower from tube. Slide the mag tube out of hand guard....

That's a neat cartridge conversion. I've got a couple of Stevens rifles (a Favorite and a 44) in 25 Stevens and it would be nice to get them back in action.

That's the rare lever action Colt Lightning!

I haven't actually had too much trouble with fouling. I'm using a home brew mix of beeswax, crisco and olive oil and last time out I put 20 rounds through it with no binding or other problems. I'm...

Varget or RL15.

If you have or can get molds for both, I think it's a toss up. But if you are buying bullets, especially jacketed, 25-20s are much harder to find. Brass is also much harder to find, but as noted, you...

The tray is from Hornady 20 round handgun ammo boxes. It is plastic and is a handy size. I have a couple of them and use them for 44/45 Cal BP loaded ammo.

I've used the Lyman flash hole deburring tool for years. It only takes a few seconds per case and it's a one-time operation, but I only do it for cases I plan to use for my long-range rifles.

This is new news? I guess some newbie shooter done blowed up their new Garand. It's amazing how much we have forgotten considered we now have more access to information than ever before in the...

Now it is officially snowing here, as confirmed by a glance out the window!

I find that style to be just fine on the two rifles I have with it, but we're talking about a Colt Lightning in 44-40 and a Win 1892 in 25-20, so not exactly thumpers. The most unpleasant gun to...

Crutch for what? It has nothing to do with reloading technique if your dies are under or oversizing the brass.

I use a separate crimp die for most of my pistol loads, both for autos and revolvers. I find I get much more consistent ammo this way. In most cases I've acquired a separate seater die to use solely...

30 Seconds over Tokyo was one of my favorite books when I was a kid. Re-read it a few years ago and it's still a great story.

Snow is in the forecast for tomorrow here in Milwaukee too. Hasn't been much of a spring yet.

I think I'm going to order a mold from Accurate. The Jack Korts BP 44-40 mold looks like a good one for this and my Colt SAA FSS.
