    Hey Pards,

     

    I picked up a nice old ‘97 at a gun show. It’s an E model, takedown, with a 32” barrel. It’s in original condition. It looks good, functions perfectly, and I got it for a song.

     

    The magazine only held 5 shells (after I removed the old, wooden, 2-round, waterfowl plug). I installed one of the 6-round kits that UniqueTek used to sell and I can verify that the kit is for a takedown model. Unfortunately, the kit didn’t help and the tube still only holds five shells. In fact, after the fifth shell, there is barely a quarter inch of space left. There is no way I can get a 6th shell into the magazine. 

     

    What can I do to get a 6th round into the magazine?

     

    Thanks

    Seriously! People are constantly using old photos of cowboys, etc. as examples of how costuming should be. It's kind of been my impression that in the vast majority of those photos the subjects are wearing some style of facial hair, whether it be mustache, beard, whatever. So why not require it in Classic Cowboy? 

     

    Except for one year when I was having worse than normal wrist issues, I've been shooting CC for almost twenty years, so I'm not bringing this up because I ain't "been there, done that". I have. So why not?

    Women too?

    I called Dillon today to order a new plastic powder hopper for my RL550. It's still usable but getting a little cloudy over 26 years. I was surprised that they told me it was free under warranty. I also ordered a blue bin for loaded cartridges and machine covers for the 550 and 750.

    It's the best customer service anywhere.

    Interesting - I have Titegroup, but all my data I can find says Titewad is the shotgun version. Interesting, thank you very much. 

    Tightrope good for everything.  I rub it on my chest when I get  a cold too.

    I've had Cimarron's Texas Brush Popper in 357mag for almost 10 years (first lever gun I ever bought). It's got that half-half barrel config, and I gotta say, it's still not a super light gun. A 20" Chiappa 1892 is definitely lighter. I think a 24" Marlin 1894 is pretty comparable in weight to the Brush Popper. 

     

    So if you're looking for a air-light rifle, you may be a little disappointed. Just my two cents, of course. Probably need to work on my upper body, admittedly lol.

    Want a light gun, try a 19 inch round barrel.
