Bringing back this topic, as I was hunting for this pic before, but only just found it. Looks like a '73 painted gold

Yeah, perhaps that is why they all say zero.

If this was asked before then I missed it. Here on the Wire when you hover the mouse pointer over an avatar pic, a box opens to list number of posts, reputation number, and badges number. The badges number seems to be zero for everybody I checked (including some folks who won their category at EOT). So what is that for?

There is a machinist who made his own volcanic rifle, and ammo to shoot in it. It has been mentioned on here before. And some company made volcanic pistols in .22 I think. Just heard of those, never saw one.

Anyone DIY built a 'lightweight' timber gun cart?...
Does Dusty Leather's guncart qualify?

I have a black 20+ year old Mernickle Rig. A few years ago I asked him if I should be treating it with something and he said no, it was sealed. FWIW.

Howdy Curly. If those will ship for $20 or less, I will take them. Sending PM.

I load everything I shoot except 22.
Pull the bullets from some .22's and reload them with black powder. Then you can say you reload everything.
(although I think there's actually a little more to it than that)

There is an older Uberti Henry with a stretched frame on the shelf at Cimarron. There is also a new Henry frame on the shelf that was ordered to replace the stretched frame. When the customer found out how much the new frame would cost, he said forget it, just keep the rifle.
Regardless of rifle vs pistol, etc. I think that IF you could buy just a frame the cost would be close to a new gun. Better off buying the rifle, sell off the extra parts, and deal with the SBR tax stuff. IMO.

So if just one person decides not to buy a new car, shouldn't that free up enough metal for a few million primers?

It will be obvious if it is for pistol grip. The loop itself will have a curve to it on top and bottom.

Howdy Dee Mak, there is a 165gr big-lube bullet that Springfield Slim sells called the 44 Slim. I don't know if molds are available for that one or not.

ASM Richards Type I, not so?
You are correct, sir.

Glad to see these gone- I always thought the 1861s were the best looking of all Colt cap and ball revolvers and these were tempting....
If you get a hankering later, an Uberti 1860 Richards Type II in .38 actually uses a Navy frame and cylinder, and '60 barrel looks the same as a '61.. So replacing the army grip with Navy makes a '61 conversion! (I did).
Safecracker Solon, enjoy your new Richards. They are purdy!

I'm embarrassed...
The Cimarron revolver is nothing more than a 1873 with a different grip frame...that's like calling a Karmann Ghia a Porsche.
Oy...

Well, sort of. What you described is a Thunderer. The Lightning/P-Jr (Stallion) is smaller frame. And a vintage Karmann Ghia is worth a lot.

Buy the '73 because those are harder to find and '66 in .22 is in current production so you can always order one of those later.

Now if ya can just light that mustache on fire as well, that would be some picture!!!
I set my face on fire in '77 (gasoline). The mustache and beard actually helped protect my face! But once was enough.

Thanks Kid, question answered!

Are you sure those are threads? Pic on VTI and exploded diagram of part, while not hi-res, do not appear threaded, and in fact would seem to me an odd part to be threaded.

There's always lots of neat pics of BP shooters making smoke. Usually from the barrel. Dutch Van Horn takes lots of pics at matches in central Texas, and got this one at the recent Battle of Plum Creek. The smoke is still pouring from the empty! I must confess, I was slacking and shooting APP in the rifle, just didn't have time to lube bullets.
Obviously this was the first shot, otherwise there would be 5 or 6 more empties in the air, right?

Might want to read this test on rifle primers.
Thanks. That tells me that the cci small rifle magnum cups were probably harder than standard a dozen years ago, but I'm wondering if that has changed now that cci standard cups seem more like Federal.
4 hours ago, Kid Rich said:Depends. Go to SKSboards and look up primer info chart it will answer most of your ?. I think the CCI are a little softer than when this article was written but very good info there.

Thanks. A 2010 discussion indicated that the magnum cups are harder, but again has anything changed? I am going to assume that they are still harder unless some folks come forward and say they have been using them with no problems in their tuned CAS guns. Natchez has had the small magnum rifle lately .
-
Bringing this back for a question. Knowing that small rifle primers are same as small pistol is good, but what about small rifle MAGNUM primers? Are those interchangeable with small pistol magnum (which for CAS use would be same as SP)? In particular, does being magnum make them have a harder cup that would take more force to set off?

Even the case is cool!
