Watch out.

Phew.....was scared for a second that you went smokeless......... Hope you get back in tip top shape!

That's Right.

I've been thinking of using 3" shells for my SxS just so I can get more powder in...........

I use APP in my 25.20, nice and smokey......

Thats right.

I don't know. Doesn't seem worth getting outta bed if you're using less than 70grains of black...........

I'll give this a try, maybe staggering forward might have been my issue this year.

Whoa does fried backstrap sound good!! mmmmmm.........mmmmmmm..................

I enjoy it, nice and smooth.

Glenlivet? Yuck...... Lagavulin is my elixir.

Henry Big Boy? Never heard of this....you mean the Uberti 1860 or 1866?

Lovely Tame Bill, absolutely lovely!!

Oh man, why even get out of bed? For a nice BP substitute, I recommend APP. I use in my 25.20, and on occasion cap & ball gunz. Easy loading, easy cleanup. Capt Baylor always posts sales information when he gets it, here in the forum.

That thread should be pinned at the top of this forum!

I've got a brace of Uberti 1860's, and followed these instructions, even though they're for Pietta, Larsen Pettifogger wrote them up about eight years ago; http://www.theopenrange.net/forum/index.php?topic=5659.0 There's also the video Bottom Dealing Mike has on his YouTube page discussing smoothing out the hammer to prevent 'cap sucking'......easy alternative to 'cap posts' or other modifications such as what Long Hunter Shooting Supply is offering.

Ran across a handful of Henry BB shooters over the years, None of them had problems, rifle ran smooth and respectable. And they all had big smiles.

Hey Robert Mitchum is in El Dorado!!!! You shoulda told me Forty Rod!

This is my problem, where did you source your metal caps with the O rings?

Haven't seen The Shootist in decades, and not familiar with El Dorado........

Sign me up! Ain't no shame in going back to duelist!

Cowboy Action Shooting, it's an international language!!

A few years ago I was able to get a hold of an original in 44.40 for an affordable price, for what they are, with found money I had.......turns out it had mismatching numbers (whatever, I don't care), and from what I've read, this is most likely assembled in the 1890s from parts left overs (again I don't care).......... That being said, comparing it to the Colt Peacemaker, and the S&W Schofield, it does seem over engineered for what it is, and it's time. On the surface, Colt seems minimalisc in design, S&W has more bulk, but a quick top break to dump spent shells, and the MH has sliding loading gates, frame twisting for dumping spent shells, all kinds of nook and crannies for fouling to get into......ugh. Unique design? Hells yeah! .....but seemingly over engineered. I'm not a firearm historian specialist, but how it all seems to me.

Wasn't Bruce Dern the only guy to shoot John Wayne in the back? I'm not a John Wayne or the highway fan of his, but after that, I wanted to punch Bruce Dern in the face, even if it was 40 years after the movie!
