One question I have is do you think the bolt will knock the rear peep site over every single time? I thought that might be possibility before buying it but wasnt sure

Can someone explain what this cody firearms database is? Is this worth doing? I want to learn something but if its just a piece of paper that says something is "official" i dont care. But if it had...

Awesome thanks, Ill try that today (oiling the spring).

So freakin cool. I have enjoyed thinking about what sort of adventures my gun has gotten into before its gotten into my hands. Maybe not much in the later years, but certainly in the late 1800s it...
Forum: Leverguns
I love your ammo belt. haha, I never thought to use one of those for this sort of gun.
Forum: Leverguns
Incredible! Is that also 30 WCF? That's awesome it works with the rifling straight up blown away. That's good news as well.
Forum: Leverguns
Yep just lead boolits (that I buy, not cast). Probably 'start' loads.
I'm quite excited, I can't believe it has taken me more than half a dozen lever guns to finally get an authentic one.
now...

I'm about to buy a Winchester 1894, made in year 1895, 30 WCF.

It says it is mechanically 'very...

Do you know who you talked to at Chiappa? Did you email a specific email or talk to a specific person? I want to talk to the same person. Im talking with a guy there but im pretty sure he is annoyed...
Forum: Leverguns
Ok i see exactly what you meant. i caleld Chiappa and he said that's how theyre designed when he took a few of them apart. he said theres a tiny piece on the back of the loading gate that stops it...
Forum: Leverguns
Wow ! Thank you for that video... so just so I'm 100% getting what you are saying, when he says "the arm" is that what you are referring to as the "cartridge guide"? The arm that fits into the right...
Forum: Leverguns
sadly no gunsmiths around where I live. There is one good one but I believe his wait time is 2 months. The rest all AR and 6.5 creedmore bois.
Forum: Leverguns
interesting, so is it the 1st video or the 2nd video youre referring to? I'm trying to see where a right cartridge guide would be. Thanks!

There is a problem with my Chiappa 1886 that Chiappa has failed to help me with, they want me to ship the gun away for like half a year.
Before I'd do that, I would try to take the gun apart...

Try again, it just went back to backorder: https://www.starlinebrass.com/45-70-govt-brass
I ordered it yesterday on backorder and it just shipped today.
Forum: Leverguns
Damn, you're right. So yeah they sold out really quick then, sorry... I bought it and immediately posted it over in this thread, I guess that went fast!
Forum: Leverguns
Apparently when you buy with backorder they usually still ship out in 1-2 days. I noticed they set it from 'out of stock' to backorder about 24 hours ago, and then they added the notice about 1 hour...
