I guess I understand the conection between the classic Win. 95 and the cartridge it is chambered in. We would all probably slap our foreheads if they decided to chamber one in 7.7mm Japanese, or 7.92mm Mauser. I never had any feeding problems with pointed bullets, although I could see it happening. ...

I remember seeing one in .270 Win and wanting it, but not having the money. When I did have the money, the .270 Win Model 95s had completely vanished. I honestly believe that I (for one)will never be able to make use of the .270 Win's superior balistics with open or peep sights, as compared to a 30-...

I have heard of the lube problem with black powder, long barrels, and short pistol bullets with limited grease carrying capacity. If I were to chose a Win. 73 replica, it would have to be a SRC in 44-40. For some reason, that is the replica that has the most appeal to me. I would choose an original ...

The longer the barrel, the longer the magazine tube. Thus, more cartridges. I remember reading Mike Venturino commenting on the cartridge capacity of the 30" barrel with regard to some specific Cowboy Action event. Unfortunately, I cannot remember the event. Sean PS. Why can't black powder relo...

I can't claim to be an impartial source. I go nuts for takedowns. If it has a bore that looked like I could tolerate, I know I would be sorely tempted. The 32-40 is an older black powder cartridge that shares the same basic case as the 30-30 and so on. I can't imagine you not being able to make relo...

CaptainFinn; That sounds like a great project. If you are lacking a functioning rear sight, and have access to a "No gunsmithing" peep sight, I would put it in and try it. It sounds like you are running short on time. While actively looking for your vintage parts, why not mount it in the s...

Anyone try the Lee 379 250 RF bevel base mold in either of these cartridges?

Its been years since I've seen one for sale, in any chambering. The 30-40 Krag had the strongest appeal for me, followed closely by the .375 Win. I just bought a Win 94 BB in 375 for just a little more than that. It had been some time since I saw one of those either. But not as long as a Ruger #3. I...

What model Williams Fool Proof works for the Win. 94 Big Bore?

Hey Bruce; All I can add is that Interarms was a large surplus importer based in Alexandria, Virginia, and I believe they had a office/wharehouse in Manchester England. I still know one of the gunsmiths who used to work for Interarms in Alexandria. He is a skilled tradesman, and not a hack jobber. T...
