I wasn't going to write this and then I thought "what the heck".
Anyway, back in late 2000 I was invited to go on stage and meet and shake hands with Bill Clinton at the Staples Center when I worked for the transit agency there in Los Angeles. I was one of four "invitees". I declined.
I met Bill, and Billary Clinton.....shook both of his hands. Talk about people who aren't 'there'.........

Ok few pictures
What the?!?!?!
I wonder if their '73 gates will be compatible.....

I will get some pictures out later tonight. If you thought the tab on the Uberti was bad, wait tell you see this one. Just a thin post.
oh good grief........

I picked up one the other day from GunBroker. The 38 spec with the 20in round barrel. Haven't had time to actually fire it, did some dry firing with dummy rounds. Cycling was smooth, but not like a well turned gun from one of the top smiths supporting SASS shooters. Actually smoother, than my stock Miroku 73. What is interesting the caliber is marked 38 special but the carrier is the same length as the 73 - .357 rifle. Rounds loaded to 1.57 inches cycled much better than the 38 spec length of 1.42 inches. Sorry no pictures - compared to the non-shootable 150th year commemorative rifle fit and finish are about the same. Course the wood on the commemorative is outstanding compared to the stock gun and the bluing looks slightly darker on the commemorative. Price was the same as the Uberti's on Gunbroker.
How does the loading gate tab look? Have you taken the side plates off yet?

Willie Nelson - Delivered eggs to him when I was a Room Service waiter.
Richard Kiel - Met him at a book signing, very pleasant man.
Ray Manzarek - Got angry with me when I asked him what it was like playing with The Who back in '68......
David Bowie - Approached him and asked 'Hey, you're that David Bowie guy aren't you? 'Yes I am' he said with total graciousness.
Pete Townshend - At a book signing/performance for his partner
John Entwistle - Meet and great after a solo performance
Roger Daltrey - While waiting for a train at the Amtrak station
Always wanted to meet Lloyd Lindsay Young, and Dennis Hopper. Too late for Dennis Hopper.

It's a polymer coating like powder coating paint. Eliminates the need & mess of bullet lube for our application.
also reduces leading I'm told. I'll probably try a box for Wild Bunch when my current supply runs out.

I always thought the theme song for They Call Him Cemetery would make a good SASS song, but that's just me, and I'm biased towards it obviously...

Bart,
I get about 2 reloads out of STS hulls. 1 or 2 for AA's. The lower the powder charge, the fewer reloads. The hulls get burned on the outside from blow-by with light loads, so it's a trade-off.
Yusta
I used full loads, guess this is why I get a few uses from them.
-
No, I'm not.
Ya know, I creeped on the Winchester website, and boy it looks rather nice.
Might have to make room in my gun cabinet.

I used to shoot with Lester Moore somewhat regularly, was always helpful when I was a young pup in this game. I haven't seen him in like 5 years, heard he's practically dropped out of this game.

Be real careful about "local guys".
This all day long.

Does anyone know if I can have the action worked on an 1860 Henry or a mid 90s Rossi 92? Just curious. I know most speed demons use 73s and 66s.
Thanks
It might be a DIY job on your '60. I know Happy Trails in Rhode Island did a guy's '60 years ago, but Hap is now retired. Best bet would be to call Pioneer Gun Works, or Cowboys and Indians....since all the parts that everybody has comes from them.
EDIT: Jimmy Spurs says on his website that he does action work for the '60. I got one of his rifles back in '08, started using it again this year since I forgot how much I like using it.

If not for this thread, I would totally forgotten about my Derringer I have at the bottom of my cabinet. Haven't shot it in at least 8 years.

I had one of those 'slicked' up 92's, didn't work for @#$%! Talk about dealing with frustration, and fighting your rifle everytime you used it.....ugh.....this is were I heed the 'buy once cry once' school of thought. Ended up selling it for dirt cheap, the guy who bought it spent alot of time tinkering with it, and got it running real good. But that was my experience, which isn't definitive.
Maybe ask around the clubs you want to shoot at, somebody might have something taking up space that they'd be willing to sell at an affordable price for you.
Sometimes there's good deals here in the classifieds. Keep an eye out.

Try Pisco, I got screws and a hammer spring from them about 5 years ago.
My mistake, I meant to say Wisner's http://www.wisnersinc.com/model/1887-1901-lever-action/
They some, but not all of what you're looking for.....give 'em a jingle.

What's your story???
I had an old man tell me once, and quite belligerently, that I could not load black powder into shot gun shells..........

Thinking of trying this using a spare cylnder loaded on the line from a cylinder pouch located on the belt. . Checked with club and they are fine with letting me try it....................any thoughts?
I'd say stage the add'l cylinder with the rifle.
-
He doesn't like using a capper because of sometime they fall off, his reason is he can squeeze the caps and put them on with confidence that they will stay on.
I did for one match by hand with the cylinder in the gun and it was a pain. And that was on new nipples, the match before I had at least one cap per gun come off per stage with the new nipples.
I had replaced them because the other were becoming deformed. They had been on the cylinders for about 12 years
Best thing since beer in a can is the wooden or antler boolit pushers people have, I use them to set my caps after using the capper.
-
He also pointed out that a lot of conversion cylinder must be taken out to be loaded so what is the difference?
There isn't, it's basically the same thing.

Scratchy print? With digital movies now, that would have to be a photo editing effect.
Modern technology........'sigh'
