Tex Jones, SASS 2263

How does one get the prices realized from auctions that have ended in a sale? I signed up on the web site and used the advance search function, to find specific prices for items sold but I don't see any anything other than current auctions.

Parts for the Miroku made Winchesters are not available here. Boulder Canyon Bob found a German company that sells Miroku parts, but with the exception of the main spring, lever safety spring and bolt extension it doesn't show any other springs. On the web at theduke.de.

If you haven't been to the match before, the match is held on property owned by Ahlman's Gun Store. There's always something to see there.

Welcome to the match. Bring guns, ammo, cart, leather, eye and ear protection and clothes. Throw in a slicker in case of rain and a cover for the cart. Tools are optional as there are plenty of folks with the necessaries. Some snacks in the event you need some fuel during the match, although there should be plenty staged near the stages. Have fun. See you there. Tex

Great to see it being used again!

Try the first method. The lube won't affect the primers or the powder, especially if dry. If that doesn't work try a different brand of primers. You might try calling Starline and ask them for advice.

It does work with 44-40s.

From the AP: SAN DIEGO (AP) — The commander of a Navy destroyer that’s helping protect the San Diego-based aircraft carrier USS Theodore Roosevelt in the Middle East has been relieved of duty about four months after he was seen in a photo firing a rifle with a scope mounted backward. The image brought the Navy considerable ridicule on social media. The San Diego Union-Tribune reported that Cameron Yaste, commanding officer of the destroyer USS John McCain, was removed on Friday. The Navy said Yaste was relieved of duty “due to a loss of confidence in his ability to command the guided-missile destroyer” that’s currently deployed in the Gulf of Oman. The statement didn’t elaborate about why Yaste was replaced. In April, a photo posted on the Navy’s social media showed Yaste in a firing stance gripping the rifle with a backward scope. The military news outlet Stars and Stripes reported that the Marine Corps took a dig at the Navy, sharing a photo on its social media of a Marine firing a weapon aboard the amphibious assault ship USS Boxer. The caption read: “Clear Sight Picture. The post featuring Yaste was ultimately deleted. “Thank you for pointing out our rifle scope error in the previous post,” the Navy later wrote on social media. “Picture has been removed until EMI (extra military instruction) is completed.” Related Stories

Not going to be easy to find. Probably best to send it to Marlin for replacement. There's an old thread from 2011 discussing the same issue. The answer was to send it to Marlin. They will undo any action work .

Look up "S & W Model 3 schematic". E bay has exploded version.

A 38 special case head will open up a crushed 44-40 case mouth with some work if it's really bad.

Nothing. The TO was defending him and let him shoot.

Had something similar happen at a match once where the loading table was facing downrange. Shooter's rifle slipped off the front of the table with barrel pointing downrange, muzzle hit the dirt, but the shooter grabbed the butt stock to keep it from landing in the dirt. Problem was that the TO and shooter were engaged in the stage. When brought to the TO's attention the call was "..he's a good shooter...". That was the last time I shot at that club.

Had one. No work done on it.

Thanks, for the update, Bear. So, it appears that Trail Boss may be available here sometime next year.

and these.

At the soft opening at Cabelas in Hamburg, PA many years ago I saw a 1903 Springfield NM on the used rack for $300. Looked at it twice thinking about it and the third time it was gone.

The biggest change is that targets are a lot closer than they used to be. Guns are faster i.e. more tricked out with short strokes on rifles and pistols. A reading of the handbook would be useful, but except for a few changes the rules are still the same. Lots of pards gone or not shooting anymore, but still a good crowd.

Nice rifles. Well made. No aftermarket parts to short stroke them, though. The lever throw is a little bit shorter than a Uberti. There is a competition model that has an even shorter stroke but still much less than the Ubertis. The trigger safety spring is stout but can be lightened. I have one in 44-40 with 24" bbl. I added a brass hi viz front sight as the stock sight was hard to see against targets. No complaints.

Descriptions on letters are not always accurate. The rifle could have been altered by replacement of the barrel or even by cutting the original down, which a flat crown would suggest. From your minimal description there is no way to know. You could look up the Winchester Collectors group ( winchestrcollector.org ) and pose the question there.
