It’s for a New Frontier if there is a difference, though I don’t see why there would be. Looking for sources. Thanks in advance.

Big differences between what you consider as series, and what Costners series and a continuous storyline.
I also remember "we are all starving for westerns", words used when Walt Disney disastrous Johnny Depps Lone Ranger movie was released. Words here were also uttered how we had to attend to show westerns were still wanted by the audiences. That movie probable turned more audiences away and Disney losy billions while Depp laughed all the way to the Bank.
Seriously, Costner would have a bigger audience and made more money if he had put it as a mini series on one of many TV channels. Its how Yellowstone, Lonesome Dove, and other series made westerns popular and made money.
So what was Star Wars first three movies then if not a shared story line? If you would rather stay home and watch TV, great! But I saw this film, and it went really quick for three hours, was entertaining throughout it and left ME AND MY WIFE wanting more. So we are both entitled to our opinions. Kevin Costner did a great job and I will see Chapter One again before Aug 16th when Chapter 2 comes out.

@Rye Miles #13621 correct, it was the first episode of The Tales Of Wells Fargo. Later he did an episode with Michael Landon.
How about this series?
Last on was Branded, the broken, reshaped saber gives it away.

I don’t mind long movies, just watched Oppenheimer a couple of days ago. Not a bad film
I won’t watch it again, thought I was going to see more history on how the bombs were made and less sex but it seems more about how many women he was screwing and poof the bombs are on a truck going to the airport. But to each his own.

Saw the first one looking forward to the next 3 western movies! Support Costner financially as he is the only one producing them.

Good friend saw it, said save my money.
Guess I'll see it when it hits TV.
But I will read your other reviews.
As I said in my post, the movie “moves” and yes there are a long of story lines, it stands alone. I was left with wishing the next on would come sooner, will be seeing the next one in August! No different than the first 3 Star Wars trilogy, you were left each movie, waiting for the next one.
It’s good people, go see it!-

I have to agree. I can understand a mini series on TV, but not in a theatre.
This is no different than “series” like Die Hard, Lethal Weapon, Mission Impossible, etc. We are all starving for westerns! Don’t stop yourself because you think it is a series! Go see the movie! As said before support Costner needs to be financially supported to continue even more westerns! If not him who else is going to make westerns?

I took a John Wayne commemorative 92 that was originally in 44-40 and had it “reamed” to allow me to shoot ..44 specials as that was my main cartridge. I could still shoot 4440 but the cartridge casing would bulge out more than normally wood and anybody reloading it could kill still put it in to reloading tool it size it and it was still work. Might want to think about your 4 poor Magnum might still be able to shoot the 4440s and again you would have to do a little more resizing to get the cartridge back to its shape for reloading food for thought.

Thanks, I will, I believe I need a .44-40, saw Frank’s in a collection that Bill Koch had on exhibition once in West Palm Beach, but can’t remember for sure if it was a .44-40.
You are right as well in doing an action job, I was talking about replacement parts. I don’t understand why your parts don’t match current Uberti parts? -

I have a old Navy Arms Uberti 66 .
The rifle runs great .
The only thing that is really different from my point of view is the shooter is a hell of a lot older then he used to be .
And have parts fitted to him cost a hell of a lot more then the rifle !
Haven’t had any replaced yet, but had a few removed battling cancer. Did get some stints put in from a couple of heart attacks.
I remembered a post a while ago that was saying your Navy has no replacement parts for it. If I am wrong my bad. Enjoy your 66, and that Remington you beat me out of! I had wanted it as a souvenir relating to my Great Grandfather being kidnapped y the James gang and taking a bullet out of Frank James! Have to keep looking -
Saw it just now, and the 3 hours flew by! Loved the story, the locations and the music! Not as accurate firearms wise but that doesn’t bother me growing up with Winchester 92’s all over Hollywood! Can’t wait for Aug 16th for chapter 2!!!
Do yourself a favor and go see it, my wife loved it too!

Good morning Wild Pike,
Some additional information: One of Floyd Hanson's customers was Eddie Janis of Peacemaker Specialists. Unfortunately, Eddie has gone on ahead. However, his website is still operational and Parts are listed. Perhaps a phone call may be worth a try.
Good luck, Ambush
I believe his son was trying to keep it going I bought some New Service parts from them 3-4 years ago.
-
I have seen in other posts here that there are certain Navy Arms rifles even though made by Uberti, cannot use the newer Uberti rifle parts. I am sure that this will be elaborated on by people more knowledgeable than I as to the dates.

Do everything Private Message here! Then you know you are dealing with the right person! Got took for $50 and then almost $500!

Thank you for that reminder.
I got it because I watched Wanted Dead or Alive when I was boy and now as an adult, was never planning on trying to shoot it for SASS. I am thinking of sending to Nat Kiowa Jones and have him trim it like he did to another one to make it more realistic.

And I checked Heritage’s website and it shows the rifles and mares leg. The used one I bought was the same price as the new ones are priced. I would still like to see Heritage offer the single action revolvers they used to offer, especially the .44mag.
But the 3 dealers show that there is no stock for .44mag.

The 2 rifles pictured together with the ranch hand are 92s. They used to be Rossi and now moved to the Heritage line. They have many models and calibers, including 357 mag, 44 mag, 45 colt and 454 casual.
The other rifle is a Rossi 95. This has been in 30-30 and recently by request, they came out with that tactical version you may have seen with the rail and threaded barrel. It also comes in 45-70 but soon it will come in 357 mag, 44 mag (what they had there), 444 Marlin and 45 colt.
So if I understand what you said, Heritage will now be selling the 92 models that Rossi used to sell? And the Ranch Hand is also back in production?

Glad to hear from you and that you are healing up. If you still want the boots they are yours.
Thank you but I need to concentrate on the medicines I need. Please resist them so you get them sold.
-
Just got out of hospital today. Had a stint put in, makes it 4 in my heart. My apologies. Haven’t been paying attention to anything but my health. So I won’t bother you with any other explanation or reason to hold the boots. Please repost them for someone else to have. I did buy that gold necklace from you awhile ago, much healthier at the time. Again my apologies

Why is this on mine and no one else’s
It isn’t! It has been posted elsewhere and I have been a victim of $50, and almost one for $525! It will help you sell to the right person and the buyer contact you specifically!

I’ll take them, will DM you for the details.

What sites do I go to for a 3rd Gen SAA Colt hand
in SASS Wire
Posted
Thanks to one and all. The pistol is one I got used from someone so not sure the lifetime warranty applies to the original buyer or to the gun, and I have never heard of a lifetime warranty on any Colt, so I will have to check the Colt site and the manuals of my new King Cobra and Python. Thanks for suggesting Peacemaker too I had forgotten about them.
