What caliber are the hand loaders (I assume you mean the Classic Lee Loader, or am I mistaken)?
Im talking about the Round Original Lee Hand Primer kit for Larg & Small Primers.

They are going to price themselves right out the market though. Crazy how much leverage guns are costing these days.
All these kids just found lever guns and pop up company's building Tactical parts for them is what is driving prices so

Looks like the screws were over tightened it is going to be hard to remove the escutcheon with out messing up the grips
Probably better off putting some epoxy on it and knocking the broken peace back in place .
Then Don't Over Tighten the screw !

I have an 1875 Marlin in .32rf in my collection.
Never used in a sidematch, but have a box of ammo "just in case". 😎
I see it folds in half.
Probably so you can fix that damnd Marlin Jam issue lol 😆

Wow, here we are going to differ! I like the Winchester logo on my lever actions, and if it comes with a lot of writing, it doesn’t bother me!! I have a lot of Winchester made in Japan as well as here and I love them. The only Italian one is the Navy Arms Henry .44-40, because I couldn’t afford the US made Henry, but if they would license to put the Winchester name on theirs, then I would sell the Navy Arms and some other of my firearms to buy one! But hey that’s me, and nothing against you for wanting an Italian. Pension instead.
Unfortunately I once got caught up in that made in America thing .
I had a beautiful Uberti 1860 Henry with 20 years worth of patina on it shooting black powder .
She looked like a Original Henry .
And We all know Uberti build I finly built Henry rifle .
Everything is machined parts, No mim parts in the gun.
But when HRA come out with Made in America Henry Original 1860 for the first run in America in a 150 years .
I jumped all over it .
I spent 2000.00 on polished mim turd because it said Henry made in America ,
Roll printed down the barrel.
Yes she is pretty on the out side .
But a bunch of mim parts on the inside .
I almost instantly regretted selling my Uberti Henry ,
I tride to buy it back , even for more money with no luck .
So believe me you .
Just because its made in America definitely dont mean its a better quality product.
It just means you probably paid to much for it .
I sure do miss this girl !

I have several choices, but I normally use a 45-70 Handi rifle with a deep seated 405 grainer over 40 grains BP. There is only one club here that does a Plainsman match, and rifle targets are 80-85 yards. About a year ago, I bought an H&R .45 Colt "Classic Carbine", the relatively unknown third member of the Classic series, but haven't had a chance to take it to a Plainsman match yet.
I also prefer 45-70
I can load light as 200g and as heavy as 600g .
What more can you ask for .
45-70 All Day Long !

Definitely a firearm and a lubricant issue and not a ammo issue.
I live in Michigan and we get severe cold weather at times.
Most people way over lube the guns to begin with.

We all should have at least one in our collection.
I personally love the history , You can feel it in a Colt .
Its the same thing as a Henry 1860 .
We all should own a Henry 1860 rifle .

My Doc told me the same thing .
I said my Grandfather eat eggs, Red meat , Bacon, Sausage, Fried potatoes & Onions Bread & butter and drank whole milk every day and He lived to be 88 years old.
And as bad as I feel now .
I dont want to live to be 88 years old.
So I will just eat what I want to eat.

This one was made in 1992 according to the serial number lookup on Colt's website. It's still got the solid cylinder bushing, but as I have discussed before, it is in excellent condition no matter how you slice it.
After seeing your post, I compared it to my other 3rd Gen Colt that was made in 2005. While it's finish is not as nice as this one, I would have to say that the mechanics are ever so slightly better. But it's such a subtle difference that if your post had not been read, I might have never compared them. On the other hand, my Dad's 3rd gen, made in 1977 is an exceedingly excellent gun. But he did have it tuned when he first bought it new. Of course, both of my Sheriffs and the Buntline are 3rds, and they are all excellent guns.
Anyway... I know that earlier 3rd Gens often get unfavorable comparisons to 2nd Gen guns, but to be honest, I have found that all three generations are well made guns, and I have not seen a dip in quality in the 3rds that I own. They are noticeably superior to the Italian guns in various ways, for example.
To be honest, the "worst" Colt I ever had was my NRA Centennial, which is a 2nd Generation gun. It's action was so sandpaper like that I took it back to Colt for an action job. Now, it's great. But maybe that was a quirk, because when I recently found another one of those NRA Colts, it was quite fine as is.
That does not mean that there have not been ups and downs over the years, I suppose. Too many people have had much more experience than I have with more guns than I have, so who can say.You should see some of them from 2021 2022 2023 They have gone back to the bushing in the cylinder and IMHO as good or better then any other SAA made .
