  1. I know they are available from a variety of folks. But I just a few minutes ago saw an email from Taylors Firearms showing a suede lace-up wrap for $14.95.
  2. So, what you are saying is that my lack of practice is actually good for my shotgun springs? Good to know!
  3. Just tried that on my Baikal. Seems to work. There was a very light click when one trigger was pulled, no sound when the 2nd trigger was pulled. Then when the action is closed, they are not cocked.
  4. Howdy Show Me. I've had my Baikal since '99, and always store it with hammers cocked. Never had a problem. Maybe just lucky?
  5. Yeah, I'm surprised, too. I don't think you need to lower your price to attract a buyer! Is there a local club you can let know about it?
  6. Hi Injun. Nice videos. Just fyi, that 5655 is a number randomly assigned by youtube. Your web person can very easily update the address to eliminate the 5655 and then it is easier for people to remember.
  7. I guess Cimarron likes to donate that gun. I won the same thing at Cimarron-sponsored Comancheria Days a couple years ago. Haven't shot it yet! The wood on yours is prettier.
  8. Okay, but quit saying that it won't eject. It won't EXTRACT! Has to extract before it can eject. Just so people don't get confused, ya know. That extra hard ejector spring isn't the problem, but many will replace it with a lighter spring which makes closing the action easier with a round in it and also doesn't throw empties as far. Putting one of those back together the first time is a bit fiddly the first time, even if you know the trick of the casing hooked under the extractor and inserted into the chamber. But it's pretty easy once you get where things need to be to line up the holes. You mention that you heard this failure was common, but I'm not so sure. I haven't heard much about that, myself, on a new gun, anyway. Maybe you just got a lemon! Since you don't want to mail it off, maybe somebody around you has some experience with '92's, maybe ask around at the local club. Hope you get it sorted out!
  9. I think we need a class-action lawsuit against Wah for selling all those defective shrinking clothes.
  10. Natchez carries Shooter's World Multi-Black which is made by APP, and often in stock. You can buy by the pound So if you are ordering primers or other powder and already paying hazmat, it is easy to add a few pounds.
  11. Hi Donovan. Some may tell you that the reason the last round loaded jams when at an angle is because Uberti forgot to machine a bevel in the frame, just above and behind the rim, and the angled rim catches on the sharp edge. I've seen that before and fixed that before by filing the bevel, but that was not the case on my carbine. The bevel was there, but the rounds are stacked in the tube so tightly with the spring totally compressed, that the action just can't quite overcome that blockage. You can sort of straighten that round on the carrier through the loading gate but that is a pain, so I just stuck a little knife blade down inside the carrier opening to straighten the cartridge. If you are able to load a shorter bullet, or seat the bullet deeper, that will help a little. But be careful, loading a bullet deeper means in front of the crimp groove and the bullet might collapse into the case from the magazine spring pressure. And a shorter bullet usually means a lighter bullet. Those will work but will increase the fouling blow-by into the action. Good luck!
  12. If you mean Buffalo Runner, there is a company but I have doubts that it is the same boots that Horsefly used to sell.
  13. Dred, the stage activities you described are what is commonly referred to around here as "the good old days." Seems to be generally frowned on by most clubs for a variety of reasons, some mentioned above, but you will find it still happening here and there. The "good old days" refers both to the activities and the target size/distance. Some of the clubs around here will have a "throwback stage" as a sidematch during their annual events.
  14. I bought a Baikal MP220 done by J-M in near perfect shape a year or so ago for $695, so that was a fair price to me.
  15. Well, it would be a good bet that some of Gunzilla's outfits at EOT didn't meet the rules, but he got to shoot because, as they say, this is entertainment! I would say the same for Mongo even if he didn't meet the rules.
  16. Longtime Cimarron gunsmith Lonnie Amman might have something to do with how good those guns seem to work. He reworked some of the first batch before they sent them back to China, and told them what to fix.
  17. "Let's beat this horse some more" Sort of a double meaning there...
  18. Had a '49 Panhead chopper when I was 20. Those were the days. These days I'd be more likely to want an Indian like above. Dang, that thing is gorgeous!
  19. Howdy Hawkeyes, Comancheria Days at the Texican Rangers have RO classes scheduled on Wednesday and Thursday, April 10 & 11, before the main match starts on Friday. Here is the schedule page: https://texicanrangers.org/assets/pdf/2024-schedule-of-events_rev.pdf
