Re: Let’s talk about shotguns for serious use.
A couple years ago I picked up a TR Khan/Kayhan "Duo-Sys" imported by SDS Imports while in TN at Bud's Discount Guns. The system intrigued me; it was both a pump and a semi-auto. Looked like a shotgun for serious social work, and the price was right, so I picked it up. Looks intimidating, ...

Re: Having Some Fun With 1860 Spencer Carbine
I got mine in .44 Russian. Same reason - I already load that caliber. It is a hoot! :D And GK, it is a shame that these didn't end up in the hands of the south... other than battlefield captures, which we were famous for! :wink: https://i.ibb.co/2tPtLvg/111-Armi-Sport-1865-Spencer-Carbine-14.jpg

Re: I need to learn to leave well enough alone...
I would get it secured in a solid vise and soak it with some good penetrating oil like Kroil for a few days. Then take a small punch and try tapping it from the side on that broken edge as far out from the center as you can get to get it to turn. If it's still a no-go then try a little heat from a ...

I have a few .25 CP's, but not a Colt. Maybe someday. I took the kids out shooting the pocket guns a decade+ ago, and they had a ball.

So, probably a silly question, but I imagine you have to remove the barrel first before using the FC cutter, right?
