Just starting watching from a TCM recording and there is Doris Day with a Winchester 92 in “white” with a John Wayne loop lever! Never noticed it before. Now I will have to pay attention for the rest of the movie!!

I would seriously consider them if they had a .44 mag chambering, as I shoot .44spcl. Had many Taurus guns and am most happy with them

I've been shooting the last month with my right eye closed- because I can't see my pistol barrels little alone the sights yes I use my sights .
I'm having surgery on the right eye February 13th and EOT starts on the 26th. How long after cataract surgery can start shooting?

I had both eyes done on Friday and was working by Tuesday the following week! I have shot a lot of different guns since but I have not shot a .45-70, got a 1886, a Trapdoor carbine and a .45-60 1876 original that i am slightly concerned about only because my right eye has had 2 detached retinas. About that, after you get your lenses, if you start to see something like a “shade” slowly coming down your vision, go immediately to either where you got the cataract surgery or the ER, DONT WAIT! You could lose sight in your eye! You won’t feel anything, the only way you know is the shadow on your vision. I went to Rand Eye Institute in SE FL!
what the others said is also good advice, ask your DR as well.-

Went to a gunshow today. Was surprised to see a USFA SAA clone for a reasonable price.
"I'd like to buy that gun."
"Sorry, it's not Mass compliant."
Went to another booth. Saw an Uberti Buntline.
"I'd like to buy that gun."
"Sorry, it's not Mass compliant."
Why do dealers bring things to a gunshow in Massachusetts that they can't sell?I am thinking they were shown as attention getters! Down here in FL, those examples would have been “Not for sale”, instead of not compliant. Still irritating.

There are usually sites that list the three days of guns and exhibitors and I couldn’t find them that would show the cowboy firearms. Anyone see anything worth mentioning?
-
My understanding is that when Colt came out with this rifle, a Winchester representative visited Colt with a single action revolver they were going to manufacture in competition to Colt’s SAA and Colt stopped production. Not sure if the story is true, but I never saw a picture of the pistol.

Ok I was for a press for the .454 and .460 dies I just got and the set you are including would be good to have. So I would like to buy your press and dies. Send me a personal message with the pymt methods you accept and we can get the deal done!

Hate to be critical but every time I look to see what you are selling you pictures don’t show up. Might help sales, at least for me.

Several .44 spl Bond barrels on Gunbroker in the $130 range.
I've got barrels for mine in .22, .357, .44 spl, .44-40, .45 acp, and .45 Colt.
Yeah, but then with Gunbroker’s fees, sales tax and shipping they might be cheaper from the retailer suggested above. I looked on EBay and was blown away by how high the prices are now! Last time I looked they were only about $110 - $150! Now they are starting at $150!

And you can always find bond barrels on EBay

Victor McLaglen himself appeared in a Season 1 episode, The O’Hare Story. He started out being Paladin’s presumed adversary and ended up being his ally and friend.
Yes he did an engineer. I believe his sin directed it as well.

I love that Gene Roddenberry wrote a lot of the earlier episodes and Victor McLaglen’s son Andrew directed them! We see the between 8-9am on H&I (ch 210 on Xfinity).

Big Ed - driven off the Wire by Chiz!
Boy do I feel foolish I just responded to 2.5 year old post! Well if it’s old news it’s old news. And I think Phantom’ ok, but we just have our differences of opinion on certain topics.
However I still and will miss all of the people posted! As I said I learned a lot.
Unfortunately Big Ed passed on. I meant in outside of Tombstone and ordered two “Duke” style holsters for my son’s Colt Nebraska Commemoratives and then in Old Tucson Studios where he had opened a shop! I consider myself a big man at 6’1” but I had to look up to Big Ed! I remember the rest in your post from way past too.
For those of you missing Phantom, he and I spar occasionally here on the Wire. He is back unless I got the wrong Phantom
we do miss all of their wisdom! I learned a lot from the lot of them!

Thanks for posting your website.

May be why the whole Signature concept, of an Italian parts gun put together here and priced at three times what a "shooting" C&B revolver was, never took off. Priced like collector's gun, but mostly the quality of a shooter. As I said, would not be my cup of tea. I'd have it going to a smith right out of the shipping box to tune for competition if I had one. And there would go the specialness of it.

You know it’s like art, it is only valued at what other people will pay for it and since there are a lot of people who value Colt Signature guns more than Uberti of the same model pistol or in this case rifle, they kind of are entitled to their opinion. I got you, you don’t value it hirer but don’t criticize the ones whe enjoy collecting 2nd & 3rd generation Colt pistols. I started with the 3rd gen Signature models assembled by the father of the man running Henry rifles and they were beautiful and well put together!! I sold those to afford the 2nd gen ones and then bought the cases and accessories( some Signature kits) to go with the 2nd gen pistols and other than the “signature” on the bullet mold or nipple wrench you can’t tell the difference! So I appreciate your opinion on there not being any difference between Ubertis and the “Colts” but if others disagree and do value them more, respect their opinion as well. I would love to get a Colt 1861 musket for my collection and to represent my great, great grandfather’s service in the 1st Ohio volunteer infantry, even though they supposedly used 1842 muskets.
I am happy with the 2nd gen pistols I have and do value them more. They will be a legacy to my son and his heirs to follow

Saw three in .38 spcl for sale yesterday starting at 1047.00. But none in .44-40. I thought I had posted this yesterday and had included the name of a website where they were listed but don't see it today so maybe I am not suppose to list the website. PM me if you want the sight.

Shot a nice sow in central FL with my Winchester 92 rifle in .44 mag, open sights, and carrying a OMV Ruger in .44 mag in case I needed a short gun. I had dressed as if I was hunting after a cowboy match, was fun.

WHOA! Did I see where Sears sold the "Craftsman" name to Stanley? That has to be one of three nails in their coffin! The other two being DieHard and Kenmore. I always thought iot was stupid of Sears to put their tools in Kmart and Ace, losing traffic into their stores just for the tools. Wow.

I was hoping for the FNX-45, thought that would be a great replacement in .45. I have it and love the way it handle the recoilk and its accuracy along with having a hammer. I guess now I know why Sig came up with a "copy" of the 250, could see the difference between the 2 pistols but there must be.

Guess he isn’t interested in selling them. Seems to me that he always has issues with pictures. Guess I am done checking his posts.
