  1. Hi, Dawg! I'll take it! PM on it's way.
  2. CZ sold a pair to me for my KBI Liberty, about 2.5 years ago. They were not helpful, it took much time over the phone to convince them to do so. They would have been happy to do so if I had a CZ Coach Gun serial number to give them for reference. Don't tell them it is for a Liberty, and if it is, get friend with CZ to let you use the serial number. Or, maybe CZ fired their anal retentive customer service reps. (Answer: No. I need both sets.)
  3. I have cylinder and barrel designed for rammer, only. New, spare parts. ("One Piece at a Time", J. Cash?)
  4. No marks on the barrel flats to indicate bore?
  5. I have an unopened set of RCBS 50/90 Express dies that I will give option to buyer of rifle to purchase for $70. No brass, or loaded rounds. No cases or Magtec brass hulls for conversion. No bullets or molds that I can part with.
  6. 10 Gauge SxS 2-trigger shotgun in unaltered condition 30" barrels are tight and on-face to receiver. Real third-bite barrel extension lockup Barrels have very consistent bluing, with some minor spots of corrosion and discoloration; two spots on bottom at end of forend tastefully cold-blued. Carried little, shot little, much sitting in storage. "10/89", 10 gauge with 89mm, 3.5" chambers Chokes are marked on barrel flats as equivalent to extra-full and fuller; 1.2mm and 1.3mm constriction, (0.047" and 0.051") Chokes do not appear to have been reamed out for use with steel shot Bore is bright and shiny Extractor-only Proof date code, "C1", is 1957 Maker mark, "M A"-in-a-shield on the barrel flats is "Martin Amuatequi", a Spanish Eibar-region maker The mark, "UMBE" is displayed over the chambers, and was likely the conglomerate of which some small makers like Amuatequi had joined Receiver was "in-the-white" originally to better display engraving, and has taken on a mixed discolored look. Hand engraved designs, scalloped action at butt stock Forend wood has a very small crack at the hinge, checkering is strong, sharp Buttstock has pretty, quarter-sawn figure to the walnut, no cracks, the original rubber butt pad has aged to hard 11 lbs This was a former higher-end Spanish waterfowl shotgun that spent most of it's life in a clothes closet. I bought it to be an asset in my kit for those days where I wanted to go "big" BP; 10 gauge, Walkers (or Dragons), and 30" bbl 1866. (I never did buy a 30" '66/'73, so my Henry has to make due.) I have not given up on 10 gauge, as I will use a hammered Ithaca, mfg about 1890. This is a good shotgun for a fair price. Modern firearm, must go through FFL. Just think, you too can have a Big Asset Shotgun! $750, shipped or otherwise make arrangements. Please PM.
  7. Uberti replica of a Winchester 1876 Centennial rifle. 50/95 Winchester chamber. 28" barrel. As new, not even a "safe rash" mark. Unfired. Original serial numbered box with paperwork, if you want it. This rifle has no rust or damage, you could not get cleaner from a retailer. I have owned this rifle for 3.5 years, and it sat in the safe the entire time. I am the second owner, who also did nothing more than look at it and oil on schedule. I have other 50 cal projects that interest me more. This was going to be one of my "go big" assets for CAS. I have other side-match options. The rifle is extra to my needs. This is a long rifle. I do not feel comfortable shipping in fully assembled form, given the risk of damage. I propose to remove the buttstock, pack and box properly, and ship together. I am not set up to build a crate for shipping. That leaves the original box to ship, which would not be an insignificant cost. If you have shipping preferences, or wish to pick up in the Pacific Northwest, let me know. I also prefer to ship directly to your FFL holder, so if the FFL wants to receive it from another FFL, then that adds to complexity. Regardless, we can work out shipping details. $1,600, plus the cost of shipping USPS insured. I am not interested in trades. Please PM.
  8. *** SOLD. *** Olathe brand boots with greater than 18" uppers. These are "narrow" width, thus the "B" in the size, (12B). I wanted tall cowboy boots, slightly narrower than standard. I bought these used from an online source a few years ago. They are nice, but I could only wear them around the house for a few minutes. Too short for me, I found some size 13 to wear instead. I never wore them outside. The uppers are in excellent condition. The heal has slight wear on trailing edge. The soles are scuffed, but no where near worn through. I have stored them with papers inside to keep them from shrinking or taking a set. Although it is "natural" material, I think lowers are something other than cow hide. $65, shipped USPS. Please PM
  9. This has standard/CSharps/Shiloh Sharps hole spacing instead of Pedersoli Sharps spacing, correct? "... mounting holes: 2 3/16” up to 2 5/16” ..."? (Pedersoli spacing being 1.530".) Very similar, not exactly the same sight, as listed on Pedersoli website? https://shop.davidepedersoli.com/en/creedmoors/1058-universal-middle-range-creedmoor-sight.html#&gid=2&pid=5 I have pile of sights set aside for projects, and would otherwise have already put up my "ITI!".
  10. JK, Amen, brother. My point of posting was just throwing out options. I think it is important to NOT present the appearance of trying to get around the law for files on our servers. And, I do not know that SASS has been fined for posting links, (but I may have missed that in the previous two pages). If all providers and web domains protected their resources and blocked image company access, the carpet baggers would be left holding the bag. I don't advocate breaking the law, nor ignoring perversions of the law. I don't like the current state of copywrite law. But Article I, Section 8, Clause 8, ain't goin' to be changed. Congress can be convinced to make changes, which is as it should be
  11. Sure. But I'm not talking about directives. Depending upon the control allowed by an isp, block specific domains from accessing website. Search engines capture (via web crawlers) text and metadata about a webpage, not attached pictures or other large files. The image companies either have their own crawlers, or querry the URL/location of pics via search engine metadata. The image companies must go to the source for actual file download. SASSNet bandwidth should not be used by other companies. It is bad enough with SPAM, fraud and advertisements. Yes, Windows bundled app, "Paint", is a simple and marvelous tool.
  12. Any thought to having administrators filter and block "web crawler" connections? Allow search engines to keep our text content available for reference searches, but block the image search web crawlers retrieving large files. To determine if a file is "copied", the entire file must be downloaded and the hash code compared to original. How many image files are on the web? Block some web crawlers not to prevent detection of unlicensed use of copywrite material, but to prevent unauthorised and excessive use of SASS resources. Think about it, the world is allowing image copywrite holding companies to pull huge files from every internet source whenever they want. Once a year? Once a day? Once a minute? For free. What a business model! Buy up essentially worthless image file copywrites, put tremendous strain on the intetnet to pull all image files from all locations, and then legally extort money from the people who ultimately pay for the bandwidth to allow image file transfers. Now, if there was only a way to easily change a file's hash code ...
  13. How much clearance between hammer axle pin and the hole running through the hammer is considered standard? Same question for breech block pin and breech block, or the holes through the receiver sides for the pins. Internet search pops many hundreds of posts related to "firing pin". Nothing related to proper block/hammer pin clearance. I have original Remington rolling block military carbine, late version #1 action with rotary extractor. In good condition, except for play in the breech block and hammer. Too sloppy. I used a caliper on the two pins, and a minus pin gage set in the holes. The pin-to-hole clearance is 0.002" to 0.004". I found variation in the pin and block, hammer, and receiver hole diameters. Using largest adjacent-size pin gages front and rear as test replacement for original pins, the block is tight and on face when hammer is down. Very close to "correct". The two pin gages, different by 0.001", were still not as good as should be due to hole size variations. My thought is to ream all holes a few thousandths to same diameter, and have new larger diameter pins turned by a machine shop. I need to know best-practice pin clearance before starting work. Too tight, and hammer will not rotate smoothly. Too loose, I am back where I started.
  14. Magtec 32 gauge brass hull conversion to 50/70. Look up the process, assuming that you have dies for reloading. No experience doing this conversion, but much experience doing such for other chambers. In stock. https://www.grafs.com/catalog/product/productId/11081
  15. My retired duck & phesant hunting partner. Barb wire, concertina, shale slides, sheet ice, porcupines, Russian olive thickets, hidden hornet nests, hidden rabbit holes, cliffs, rattle snakes, and lightly wounded aggressive birds could not stop this dog when he was "employed". In his dotage, on pee break, he trips on a small branch while sniffing for tree squirrels in his own back yard, and blows out his cruciate ligament.
  16. How soft is that Hornady swedged bullet? Did it lead up the barrel? Did you try it with BP? Tks.
