Question....
High Spade Mikey Wilson replied to Frio Canyon Ranger, SASS# 48850's topic in SASS Wire
Yep what Yul said. An FFL friend of mine told me once that as long as the cap & ball cylinders are in the pistol you can ship the whole pistol direct to the purchaser as they are considered antiques. The conversion cylinders shipped separate are not considered a firearm and can ship direct to the purchaser. If you ship the cap & ball pistol with the conversion cylinder installed in them they are considered a regulated firearm and must go through an FFL in the state being shipped to. At least that is what I was told a few years ago unless something has changed since then. -
New Marlin by Ruger (capacity)
High Spade Mikey Wilson replied to El Sobrante Kid's topic in SASS Wire
I have two Marlin 1894's in .357 Mag. I shoot 38 Special in them. Both were very picky in what they would reliably feed. After a lot of experimenting I found that they did not like TC truncated cone style bullets at all. I load 125 grain .358 diameter Round Nose Flat Point bullets with a casing AOL of 1.380". They have functioned reliably in both of my rifles for quite a years now. -
Today I feel like a kid on Christmas morning. For over two years I’ve been waiting for a chance to buy some 32-20 brass. Two weeks ago I got emails from Starline and MidwayUSA that they had limited availability. Yesterday 700 pieces of brass arrived between the two. Now I have some reloading to do.

It might work, but it will be close. The 30-30 has a rim diameter of .506" and the 410 has a rim diameter of .535". The rim thickness is about the same between the two. The extractor may catch the 410. The OAL of a loaded 30-30 is 2.550". The OAL of a 410 is 2.5" loaded and around 2.75" after firing. A 410 in 2" size should work if the extractor can catch the rim.

32-20 in stock at Midway. Two 100 piece bag limit.

I was able to back order 500 pieces. Took two years of waiting to get the email from them.

Costs me about $7 a box these days. Maybe I can find some store bought shells a little cheaper, but I've been loading shotgun shells for 55 years and I enjoy the relaxation in doing so.

Winchester 9422: Which one is it?
High Spade Mikey Wilson replied to H. K. Uriah, SASS #74619's topic in SASS Wire
I've heard a lot of good things about the 9422 over the years, but I have to tell you, my only experience with one was not too good. I bought one for my son somewhere back around 1990. It was a beautiful rifle. However that thing couldn't hit the broad side of a barn door if you shot it from the inside of the barn. I messed with that rifle for months trying all kinds of different brands of .22 LR ammo. Best I could do was a 3" group at 25 yards. I eventually traded it in for a bolt action that was very accurate, and he still has it to this day. I thought about buying another 9422 but I can't see paying the price they want for them these days. I have a Henry that shoots great that I use at local matches in the 22 Rimfire class a couple times a year. -
I just installed the firing pins as an upgrade after reading on a few posts that it was recommeded to do so.

I can only speak for the Stoeger SxS. I have three, two in 20 ga., and one in 12 ga. I've had them all for over 10 years, and never had a problem with any of them. The only thing I ever did to them was install stainless steel firing pins.

I have a set of Taylor Uberti pistols, and 3 rifles, original Win 92, Browning 53, and Uberti 1873, in 32-20. I shoot them often and enjoy them very much. That old folk tale of shooting the 32-20 and having to wait for a faint ding on the steel is just that an folk tale unless you are shooting mouse fart loads. The factory ballistic performance of the 32-20 with 100 gr bullet (1200 ft/sec & 325 Ft lbs of energy), and the 38 Special with 125 gr bullet (1000 ft/sec & 275 Ft lbs of energy), are almost identical. The problem these days is you can't find new brass. Luckily I bought some before the shortage and still have about 1200 rounds of new brass left along with about 300 rounds loaded.
