Any experience with Heritage lever rifles?
Rooster Ron Wayne replied to Dapper Dave's topic in SASS Wire
It's not all that hard to take a 92 apart. It's just a lot more involved then a toggle rifle . For years I would take my 92 apart every couple months to clean really good . But when I switched to shooting Black Powder full time . I switched to using my 66 . Obviously easier to clean . But once you took apart a 92 two or three times . It's not a big deal . If your shooting smokeless powder you really only need to do it once a year or every couple years . If your going to shoot BP. Buy a 73 or 66 or even a Marlin . -

I'm a 92 man . I love the 92 . It's just a marketing thing . It's just a Rossi 92 . They are great little rifles -
I wish I had that Talent. I have tried to find some good Custom Grips for the different models of Uberti S&W No.3 Clones. You can find some decent ones for the Schofield . But nothing for any of the other models. Rooster

Mike Brackett @Goonsgunworks.com Has done several Cap Guns for me over the years and even a couple Open Top Colt Cartridge guns . Mike has Magic Hands and does amazing work . Just remember it's a addiction ! You can't just have two or four or six lol

Old time and not commonly-heard phrases.

200gr home cast Lee slug with 5.0 gr of Unique has always worked for me . But then again . I load just about everything with ether BP or Unique. Between them two , I can load just about any cartridge in the world . Neither one is the best at anything. But both will do just about anything. Rooster

I had a moment of stupidity and sold my main match 92 44 mag that I shot for 10 years . It was Slick as snot . I very much miss that rifle . Bought another one and fixed it up the same way . But nothing is better then 10 years of running a rifle every weekend, too smooth things out the best it can be. I have just about every rifle or pistol available in 44 Mag 44 special or 44 Russian. I usually buy everything that I can get my hands on in 44. I have a beautiful 1970 Marlin 94 in 44 magnum . It's my main Hunting rifle . My biggest desire is for that Unicorn Henry 1860 44 Special. I don't remember for sure who it was . Coffinmaker or one of the other retired gunsmith on the wire has made a few Henry 1860's and or Henry 1860 Transitions in 44 special. But I can't even find one of them out here in Unicorn land lol Rooster

I have been told over the years about Uberti making a small run of Henry rifles in 44 special . I have wanted on for years . I found one , One time in Australia for sale on line . I was willing to pay him his asking price for it . But it was going to cost twice that amount to get it shipped threw Customs. And if for any reason they did not like anything about the packaging or the product I would loose the gun in Customs . And I was not willing to take that big of chance. But I'm still looking for that Unicorn ! Rooster.

What is your favorite rifle to shoot and your backup ? Do you have the same rifle as your backup or something different ? When I started SASS I started with the Rossi 92 . I had zero complaints with the 92 . And there was no way I was going to ever out run it . For my first 8 years I shot smokeless powder . Then I took a ride on the dark side . And we all know once you go black you never go back . I have owned a few Marlin's and a few 92s but I never shot or had a 66 or 73 . But I used a friend's 66 and fell in love with the 66 for black powder shooting only . I loved my 92 but it was kinda painful cleaning up the 92 with BP. Then I bought a Henry 1860 and had a lot of fun shooting that with BP and Cap Guns . I wanted to try something new every few years just for the fun and challenge of something new . Then I bought a 73 and it was fun to run and easier to clean even more easer then the 66 . I ended up buying a Henry Big Boy just because I wanted one . I loved my 66 and I loved the Brass look of the Henry . I heard all the stories about how bad of a rifle it was for SASS . And I took a box stock Henry 44 Big Boy brand bew in the box to a local shoot , Just to see for myself and to say I did it . I shot a clean game that day , With a stock out of the box Henry 44 Big Boy with Black Powder . With Zero jams or issues. I did not ever use the Henry Big Boy again because wow it's a heavy rifle . I have tried just about everything once or twice over the years . I have settled on the 66 in 44 special with the 73 in 44 special as my backup rifle shooting BP. I use my 92 with a Marlin 94 as a backup when I shoot smokeless. I am blessed to be-able to own and shoot many different guns and styles. The 92 and the 66 are my favorite go to rifles . What's yours ?
