You're quoting the Cowboy Action manual, not the Wild Bunch manual - .25-20, .32 H&R mag, .327 Federal, .32-20, and .56-.50 aren't legal for Wild Bunch.

If they came out with it in .45, .357, or .44-40, would it be $700 better than buying a Uberti that the aftermarket manufacturers already make all the trick gizmos for?

Let's open that second can of worms, will it be Wild Bunch legal? The book says rifles must be at least .38 caliber, but what is that? The .38 spl is .357", quite a bit shy of .380".

Screw the trigger screw back in, snug up the grip frame screws, and tap the sight hinge pin back in.
What logo is on the butt?
That's a pretty good price - I paid $700, shipped, a couple years back for a second one to make a pair. Maybe I need a third one... gotta have a backup, doncha know... maybe Kid Death will save me from myself...
I came up with L & R Hunter bandoleer holsters for 10 1/2" Rugers to carry them in, but the tiny loop isn't wide enough for a belt, so I made a couple belt loop thingies to snap 'em on to.

I really can't remember the last time I shot any of my cap guns. I've got six fixed sight Old Army's, and with selling prices very seldom under a thousand dollars anymore, that's a lot of money to have tied up in something I never use. They should probably be going on the auction block.

If you absolutely have to have the proper head stamp, there's some on Gunbroker, but in the end, it'll probably run you $3.50 ea, shipped. If not, you can make it by necking down .32-20... but you missed the window at Starline by four or five days.

Regardless of what a manufacturer decides to print, HP will always be higher than BHP. More HP cannot be developed as it is transmitted through the drivetrain.
-
Ya, bad wording. I don't know how HP can be measured before the crankshaft, but the gist is the engine develops slightly more HP than Stihl's BHP spec.
-
Rated at 6.7 BHP, so engine shaft HP should be a bit more yet.

This is my last one, I'm done. I started it a couple times this year, but didn't ride it anywhere.

I got a suspension on another board years ago, so I created another account under the name Ian Cognito.

History lesson: Some late model 1866’s was chambered for the .44 WCF, not many.
Ya, like NONE.
The rumors persist, but the original action is too short for .44-40, and no mention of a prototype with a stretched action has never been found.
Technically, I suppose there could have been such a thing - maybe they chambered a barrel for .44-40, screwed it onto an action, and experimented with DEEPLY seated bullets - flush, more or less, as an empty .44-40 case alone is the length of a loaded .44 Henry.
George Madis couldn't document one, and The Cody Firearms Research dept of the Buffalo Bill Center of the West has never been able to document one.

I've never seen, shot, or even heard of a W3G match anywhere around here. Depends on where you live, I guess. Population density. Some of you live in municipalities with populations larger than my entire state - we finally topped a million in 2012 and currently only one million, fifty thousand.

Reminds me of those trying to sell the flawed Chaparrals for those prices. They look good, just don't run.
Double Whammy! See my Crappy Chappy thread!

I have gone through everyone of the replica lightnings and several in some cases. Taurus worked if you went slow like target shooting.
This has been in the back of my mind ever since I read it... my Thunderbolt worked well when it was new - I put maybe a hundred rounds through it, then took it to a match and it choked on the first stage. Cleared the jam, and it choked on the second stage, and so on. So why did it work when it was new? Because I was shooting it at a "normal" speed! I got it out yesterday and tested the theory - four 10 round strings without a hitch when shooting slow & deliberate, but it immediately choked when trying to speed up.

I've got one of those, but have never shot it. The rockets have asking prices of anywhere between $125 and $350 anymore, so it would be a really expensive match!

My Taurus Thunderbolt .45 Colt works just fine...
... as a single shot...
... usually...
... not always...
... sometimes it will even get off a 2nd or 3rd shot before it takes a coffee break...

Or .44 mag, or .41 mag, or .41 spl, or C45S, or .32 H&R mag, or .327 Federal, or .45 acp, or .40 S&W, or 10mm auto, or .357 Maximum, or .454 Casull, or .460 S&W mag, and probably a few others that don't immediately come to mind.
