If you want a Miroku Winchester 1873, I believe the only caliber they make them in right now is .357 mag. Unless I missed something.

Congratulations.

I know people who have gotten married in caves also. Evidently, that is not especially unusual.

Sounds like you enjoyed your trip. Beautiful country.

I read all the responses, but did not see the method I use when working with full moon clips. Put a pencil or pen in the center of the clip. A second pencil or pen goes in the empty you want to pull. Put yur thumb on the top of the casing, and pull the two pencils apart. Repeat 5 more times. Hope th...

I like that muzzle-loader. Smooth bore with rifle sights?

Here is for the vintage look.

That is a big bird. Nevermore!

junkbug

Perhaps a slightly oversize rim would cause that. Or a hard piece of grit or sand sticking on the bolt-face. How it would get there after just firing the first cartridge is anyone's guess. It would have been nice to look at the spent casing from that shot, but honestly, I probably wouldn't have had ...

No latex gloves like the guys from the NRA museum when they are on TV?

Is that a spring piston style?

I am amazed that guy didn't even try to throw the bed blanket over the thing. I understand it is a pet, and the 12 gauge would anger the wife, but like Sixgun said, its still a small animal, and there were two grown adults there to show the creature who the boss is. Those two adults are the ones who...

You would have to call and see if they believe the threads are correct.

This question has been asked here before, and there is seldom a consensus. Obviously, these replicas have to be strong enough to handle standard .357 mag and .44 mag proof loads, or they could not be exported. The big question is on how many rounds these guns will hold up to, even with special loads...

I had a Savage 1899 in 250 SAV made in the 1920's It had the 1-14"twist that had trouble with any bullet over 100 grains, and was picky even with 100 grainers. Some time later, Savage went to 1-10" twist in that cartridge, I don't know exactly when. That I the twist most modern bolt action...

Do those "race tuned and short stroked" 1873 rifles and carbines become less able to use and withstand full power ammunition? Kind of like the S&W 52, that will only function with 38 Special wadcutter ammo. I must admit, that rifle looks and sounds slick. I would sure like to run a box...

So;
This thread is not about a Civil War US Army general, or the WWII era tank named after him.

RATS!

I might be more practical to modify the gun to cycle with CAS .45 Schofield cartridges than otherwise alter the gun. But that is no easy feat with a 94.

junkbug

That is great. Now all it needs is a deck gun. It would have to start off as a handgun, to keep it easily legal, or you could make a muzzle-loading tube and do almost anything with it.

Thanks for showing that.

junkbug

I believe it was sponsored by the Imperial government which had already been at war with the Chinese for some time. From what I read, the people that produced it were only partially cooperative with the government on this, wanting to put the "art" first. I would also consider "Sergean...

What about the 1941 Imperial Japanese propaganda version?

Anyone see that one?

Be a rebel. Borrow an old pump with a poly-choke, or even (heaven forbid) a Cutts Compensator.

I would prefer a Schwimmwagen, even in replica form. It would have to have the steel tub, not the fiberglass one, though. Doesn't need to have the light machine gun on the passenger side, either. Just needs to be road legal.

Excellent news!

junkbug

I always thought the ether smell was good powder and an acidic, bitter smell was bad powder. If the only issue is a slight reddish dust, and all else is fine, ie; no clumps, oozing fluid, or yellowish discoloration, I would load it. Start with the starting load charge for the powder and cartridge, j...

junkbug

It is impressive.
They really beat the stuff out of that rifle though. That is impressive also. I wonder if an AR-15 could handle that.

I remember the event on the news, and a rather cheesy but still interesting made for TV movie about Entebbe. Not sure which one it was, but the character of Idi Amin was prominent in it. Still being in the later part of elementary school at the time, I remember the character of Idi Amin being made s...

The "Bull Durham bag" reloading tools look great. Like yourself, I really miss my Dad. He has been gone 5 years now. He was never much of a shooter, but always supported me in my enthusiasm for it. His stories about his use of the M-1 Garand rifle during WWII is probably what got me intere...

I have been told, at least in Northern Virginia, to buy an "assault style rifle", whatever that means (Mag capacity, bayonet lug, etc,) besides the proof of residency and Id, one needs a proof of citizenship, such as a passport. I have not put this to the test myself since I have had no ur...

As far as Asian countries go, I believe the Philippines are less restrictive than most. That is from knowing the son of immigrants from there. However, I do not know what the situation would be for a foreign national there. I do know many people buy property there to live at a much lower cost than s...

OK.. I feel silly. Actually thought this would be a post about some type of water cooled Maxim belt fed machine gun, perhaps made in 1924.

Incorrect.

I have no doubt it is easier to produce a round bolt rifle to the same level of smoothness, with substantially less hand fitting time, than it is to produce the square bolt style.

Most PSP air guns have an optional hand pump that can be bought with them. Just like Lewis and Clark.

Elmer Keith believed detonation could occur with partial charges of slow smokeless rifle powder in bottle neck rifle cases.

Ving-thorr; The Little Big Horn battle aside; The entire reason for the US Army using the Allin conversion system, from the .58 rimfire through the 45-70 rifles, was to save money and keep the manufacture of these rifles at Springfield Armory using surplus civil war parts and not having to pay one t...

I know he specializes in Winchester 92 and clones, but it is hard to believe he doesn't know his way around a Winchester 94 either.

Good luck.

Cultural conditioning aside, I have always heard carnivore flesh has parasite problems. Even flesh from omnivores, like pig and bear, has to be treated with care. I would be moderately interested, but $35 for a taco lost me at the door. I have wondered if people ate mountain lion, now I know. With a...

I have one in 12gauge over 30-06. Bought it fairly inexpensively about 3 years ago. The 30-06 barrel is suprisingly accurate. I mounted an older fixed Weaver 3x on the metric sight rail using good old American Weaver 22 rimfire Dovetail mounts. 11mm is slightly larger than 3/8" but the mounts h...

I am certainly no expert, but wild (feral) dogs was my first thought also. Certainly would not want to encounter them without a 20 or 12 gauge pump shotgun loaded with buckshot. Just in case they feel hungry and want to put me on the menu.

Hey Pitchy,

I can't really give you good advice, since my Dad was truly precious to me. All I can say is that you have my condolences.

Do what you think is right. You are the one who has to carry your burden, not any of the rest of us.

Take care.

I have had my eye peeled for something like that. Looks like an awesome dual purpose carbine/shotgun.

I have seen that happen often with 30-30 rifles at the range, even fairly new ones. I believe the factory ammo is loaded rather lightly, on purpose, and if the chambers are just a little loose (still in spec), or the ammo is just a little cold, the primers will start to back out just a bit. From eve...
