Thanks Guys -- Exactly the info I was looking for. --Dawg

Good Day: The center portion of the backing plate on my Kirst Konverter is frozen & will not rotate. I have not used it for years, but I would like to use it now. Does anyone know how to maybe dis-assemble it, so I can remove the center piece to free it up, so it will rotate again? Thanks in advance --Dawg

My shootin' buddy Coffinmaker gots hisself a brandy-new Coach Whip 12Ga Hammer Double Shotgun!!! Can't wait to shoot it!!

Hey Rooster: From Adirondack Jack -- The designer of this cartridge: The very best results to date have been achieved using Hornady New Dimension .45 caliber dies no. 546554. Note Hornady uses the same dies for .45 Colt, ACP, Autorim, and win mag. They produce a proper roll crimp, and use a sliding bullet guide that aids in seating even very short bullets straight. The sizing die is also a bit larger than typical ACP dies, which provides proper bullet tension for .452-4 cast bullets, and requires less effort to size and expand. This makes the press run smoother, and works brass less as well.

Interesting! Good price too! Going for less than $700 on GunBroker. --Dawg

These are fun little guns -- Had a bunch of them, when I was still shooting cap guns! --Dawg

Capt'n Rudy: I may just go that route -- Thank you for the offer --Dawg

Good Evening: Bought a Uberti 1866 for my wife many years ago, and had it cut to fit her. She hasn't shot CAS for several years now, and I would like to put a standard buttstock on it and use it myself. So, I'm looking for one If it will fit, I prefer a short rifle buttstock, but will purchase a carbine buttstock if it will fit. Shipping will be to 44118 Lemme know what you have Thanks in advance --Dawg

Good Evening: Bought a Uberti 1866 for my wife many years ago, and had it cut to fit her. She hasn't shot CAS for several years now, and I would like to put a standard buttstock on it and use it myself. My question: Do I have to stick with a carbine buttstock, or can I look for a short rifle buttstock, and fit it without modification? Thanks for your guidance --Dawg

I wondered about that too. The .45-70 cartridge was not too long for the Winchester Model 1876, but the issue was that the Model 1876 was designed for shorter cartridges like the .45-75, which meant it couldn't reliably handle the full power of the longer .45-70 due to its weaker action; essentially, the .45-70 was considered too powerful for the design of the Winchester 1876 rifle. --Dawg

Good Morning Irish Pat: I'll take it -- Thanks! Please PM your Paypal address, or postal address if you prefer a check. --Dawg

SASS competition shotguns and rifles must be cartridge guns. I too, love muzzleloaders, but this sport is not for ML rifles and shotguns. They are for side matches only, if your club has one in which muzzleloaders are shot. --Dawg From the Shooter's Handbook pages 38 & 39: Rifle Requirements Rifles or carbines used in the main and team matches must be original or replicas of lever or slide action rifles manufactured during the period from approximately 1860 until 1899, incorporating a tubular magazine and exposed hammer. Rifles with box magazines may not be used. Certain shooting categories require a specific type of rifle and ammunition to be used. Please see the shooting categories for further information Rifle Calibers - Must be centerfire of at least .32 caliber and not larger than .45 caliber. Shotgun Requirements Any side-by-side or single shot shotgun typical of the period from approximately 1860 until 1899 with or without external hammers, having single or double triggers is allowed. Automatic ejectors are allowed on single shot break action, lever, and pump action shotguns ONLY. Side-by-side shotguns may not use automatic ejectors. Lever action, tubular feed, exposed hammer shotguns of the period are allowed, whether original or replicas. The only slide action shotgun allowed is the Model 1897 Winchester shotgun, whether original or replica. Certain shooting categories require a specific type of shotgun and ammunition to be used. Military configurations are not allowed (i.e., trench guns). Please see the shooting categories for additional regulations. Shotgun Gauges - Side-by-side, single shot, and lever action shotguns must be centerfire of at least 20 gauge and no larger the 10 gauge
