HEY!! BLACKWATER!! How's about a "TABLE SAW??" I'm Journeyman Cabinet maker and I've never actually seen a "Table" saw. I've seen lots of circular saws mounted through a table though. And, I'm just too lazy today to look up and attach pictures. Burma Shave

Excepting the "tax" portion of a transaction, the penny has actually been useless for DECADES. Will NOT be missed (by Me at least).

OK Ike, Here Ya Go, Don't know if you already knew this, but recoil is a product of simple physics. The "load" only plays a small part. The BIG player is the Pay Load. Equal and Opposite reaction type stuff. Bigger-Heavier bullet, more recoil. The true effective method to reduce recoil is to reduce the Pay Load. Take a peek at my above pet 45 loadings. For your 38s, take a gander at ProCast 97Gr RNHB bullets. With the same suggested load from Scarlett, recoil will drop. Try it. Yule like it 🤠

Well Hey!! Just to be clear and a little help, the EPP UG - 45 is a great little bullet. Runs about 150Gr as cast and is well beloved by Air Gunners. However, It will NOT run well in Toggle Link Rifles. It is, after all a really funny looking Semi-Wadcutter sort of thing. The shoulder leading in from the front driving band to the ogive of the nose profile will run smack dab into the breach end of the barrel and come to a Hard Stop. No fun at all. Oh, and don't ask how I learned this little factoid. Nor what I did with the other 98 rounds (Single shot anyone??)

Booo Hissss. Here in my part of the swamp, we haven't had a clear or even near clear night for a while. Daggy Nabbits.

I have always had a desire for a 10/22 with a Manlicher stock. I don't have any use for it, just really wanted one. This has no real help for the OP, but what the heck. Personally, I agree with those who suggest hanging on to the laminated stock for future trade goods.

Well H. K., from reading your Inquiry, it appears you are primarily interested in guns of the Era. If that's the case, not that I know of. Never seen one anyway. In my sordid past however, I did do several cartridge conversions on Percussion 31s. I haven't looked to see if Conversion parts are still available for those little 31s. In all honesty, full size SAs in 32 would be just a mite heavy but wouldn't generate much in the way of recoil.

Okey Dokey!! Here ya go. Standard instructions for APP is fill the case to the base of the bullet. Pretty simple. However, my "PET" load for the 38 Special is 11Gr, by WEIGHT 3F app. It doesn't leave much if any air gap and shoots a treat. Same same load for 105Gr bullets. For 38s I load with Truncated Cone bullets for excellent feeding in rifles. They run just fine in pistols too. I don't load full size 45 Colt cases anymore. For my 45s, I load 14-15Gr 3F APP in C45S cases (pistol) with 130Gr Barnstormer bullets. For the rifles I just fill to the base of the bullets. Not enough recoil to spit at as I load my 45 Rifles with Schofield cases w/180-185Gr RNFP. Same same for 44 Special cases with 165Gr RNFP (Badman Bullets).

"EMF" Early and Modern Firearms. Established by Boyd Davis (US GRANT alias), a prime importer of Uberti products. Many years ago, EMF got into some sort of Brouhaha with Uberti and lost their contracts with Uberti. Then EMF hung their hat on Pietta and Rossi. During the Pandemic, EMF got into deep guano and Pietta chose to invest in EMF (BOUGHT THEM). Also, way back when, Boyd Davis was looking for a replacement for the Great Western. Pietta was the only manufacturer to meet (exceeded) EMF's quality standards, hence the Great Western II. Jim Bowie (Cowboys and Indian Store) was probably the first major manufacturer of Short Stroke Kits. Fantastic products and the Kits were the standard against which ALL others were judged. As the C&I kits were improved, those kits created the "Generations" of short Stroke as the C&I lever throw got shorter and shorter. When I had my shingle out, Cowboys & Indian Store were my prime supplier of SS Kits and other Speed and improvement parts.

There is always Drawing and Quartering. No recidivism ever recorded.

No Cypress!! Not quite!! The 44 AutoMag removes the fingerprints from the Victim!! 🤪

Hey Alpo, Actually the is nope. You got it in one. No simpler nor easy way. Gloves and a Rag and you gotta wipe every cartridge your gonna put inna gun. Burma Shave

PLUS ONE fer BLACKWATER PLUS ONE AGAIN fer RYE MILES ABSOLUTELY

Aw crud. Facebook wouldn't let me stay and play the vids.

I can't give you a positive yes or no. However, Uberti Rifles and Winchester Rifles use the same bolt for both cartridges. My immediate knee jerk reaction is you won't have to change the bolt. No promises though. I will suggest however, since you are thinking Black Powder, the 45 Colt will run just a clean as a 44-40 IF, that is "IF" YOU ANNEAL your 45 Colt cases. You will only have to anneal the upper third of the case for a good chamber seal. If you just "have to have" a Marlin in 44-40, the barrel can certainly be relined and re-chambered to 44-40.

Check out the Border Town shoot off video on the Wire.

I use to make a sleeve to fit between the grip panels from ball point pen bodies (Bic) to prevent over stressing the panels when tightening the escutcheon screws.

Whilst stationed in Europe and the UK, went on several Castle Tours that included period meals and Meade. I sampled but must admit to being underwhelmed. Not exactly my cuppa Grog.

NO PLUS ONE fer Blackwater

PLUS ONE fer Seamus > You Betcha Since that were a "half - size" target, would have been very very lethal for culling midgets. 😁 Now I'm thinking . . . . Rye, I'm thinking I'm going to hate you 🤪ok WELL RYE, now I'm sure I'm gonna Hate Ya 😜 Dat little rifle comes in 45 ACP and I already load for 45 ACP. Now I just gotta find one ......................

Were I wanting to chow down on Chipped Beef, I'd simply go to the Super Market Deli and snag a half pound of so of "shaved" sandwich roast beef. Take it home and Chop it up. Make some Gravy. Make some toast. Or whatever. SoS you betcha!!

Apparently, the bow is/was no longer attached to the main hull. That could account for the odd numbers and the Plimsoll numbers being right side up. No matter, it's still a LONG way down there.

OK, Sure. Anybody take notice, Barleypop said they had the same problem, Lil' JBs Ruger (JB miss-spelled it) pistols as well as his Rifle. Unless there is something weird (possible), the cross-over fail to fire is ammo/temperature related. Center fire shooters reaching for that "How Low Can You Go" load, experience that same temperature sensitivity. Don't put yer ammo inna truck/car/bus/ambulance over night.

Aw Common Alpo, You been around the Wire long enough to know Pyordex is a Rusting Agent that just happens to burn!! The only real good use for Pyrodex is fertilizer and even that is shaky.
