I may FINALLY sell my last canvas SG belt! The only drawback would be if I can’t make a few of the “thimbles” expand enough to accommodate my 10ga brass shells!
Dern thing WILL look rather snazzy with all them shiny brass shells, but I don’t think I’ll fill all those thimbles very often!! 😜

You can remove the butt plate and wrap it with “roughout” leather. Then just screw the butt plate back onto the stock.
It works really well and won’t come unstuck at an inopportune moment!!

The vendor contacted me this morning! Thanks!!
Yul decided that it wasn’t going to work for his 16ga shells and offered me his.
This bunch of folks is the best!! Sharing information, experience, and ideas is something that seldom happens in any competitive activity! It takes a special breed!Thanks, Yul!

The 75 brass shells I purchased used are CBC and they are all under 2-1/2" OAL.
They should work fine!!-

Yes I never load the magazine, only load two but of course the bottom round goes into the magazine when the action is closed. Some day I will play with the brass shells to see how they do.
Let me recommend that you use the shells that have a 2 1/2” OAL! 2 5/8” may work, but if they don’t, you will need to trim them to 2 1/2.-

I run a 12 gauge 1887 and at some point want to try brass shells. It has the Lassiter two drop.
My understanding is that Lassiter’s drop two modification will not allow loading of the magazine in some cases.As far as the brass shells working with the drop two modification, you should ask Lassiter, but I don’t know of any reason why they shouldn’t work just fine.

How do the brass shells feed in the lever action shotguns?
My 1901 liked them, so long as I ran them a little short. The full length 2 7/8” brass shells didn’t feed well from the magazine. I used the shorter 2 3/4” shells and did a mild roll crimp on them and they worked pretty well.Now! Keep in mind that the 1901 is a 10ga. I’ve only heard that the 12ga guns like a slightly shorter shell, but if they’re like my 10ga, the shorter shell feeds MUCH more smoothly.

Another trick is to place your off hand on top of the other person’s hand. It’s often recognized as a gesture of sincerity and it almost always breaks up any sense of a contest!
If it doesn’t, you’ve got two hands to their one! 😜

I found that roll crimped shells feed better in the lever action shotguns too!

I learned a little trick from a karate instructor. If someone tries to mangle my hand, they won’t use theirs again for several days. There’s a pressure point in the forearm that will temporarily put the hand out of action!!

I have one on my house shotgun, a Winchester 1200. It has a collapsible buttstock and an extended magazine as well.
I set it up so that anyone in the house can use it and so it can be shot from multiple positions. The forestock has tactical rails that are hard on soft hands, so the vertical grip was added for comfort and for leverage/purchase to more easily cycle the action.
It now holds ten standard 2 3/4” shells or or thirteen 2” shells.

Got my big insulated cup full of sweet iced tea and all but one of today’s chores completed!!
Gonna’ try to convince Schoolmarm to step out and get pizza or something for later in the day.
I figure I’ll spend some time in the reloading room while she watches football and hope that they get to run the drag races later on today!

I LIKE this movie!! It’s gritty, bold, pretty authentic in sets and terrain, and it’s unapologetically in your face!!
I HATE watching it on GRIT and other commercial laden outlets! Every time it gets moving, there’s a damned commercial!
Jason Robards stole the show! His character was the iconic anti-hero and he pulled it off perfectly.
Henry Fonda played a total viper of a villain! He did it well and he was totally believable in the role.
Bronson was enigmatic throughout the show and his character was slowly revealed throughout the plot, giving the story a second thread to follow. That’s something I enjoy.
Claudia Cardinale did a great job of playing a woman who was dumped into a situation that she was completely unprepared for and worked her way through it the best way she could!
Aside from the facial closeups, the cinematography was excellent. It was realistic and unfiltered, no over the top effects or CG garbage. Even the shooting scenes were believable!
As to the length of the film, it was made back when many movies were that long and had intermissions! I disliked intermissions because they interrupted the flow of the story, so I appreciate the lack of one!
The music is simple and fits the story and the settings perfectly!
It’s kinda’ like How The West Was Won without the lipstick!!
