Uberti Cattleman Retractable Firing Pin Fix With a Shim
Springfield Slim SASS #24733 replied to Taos's topic in SASS Wire
That works too. I just pushed the safety rod up all the way, put a new notch in it at that point and re-installed the pin. It works fine and all my original parts are still in the gun if I need to go back to stock, like if I sell it.- 1 reply

The RED painted boat
Springfield Slim SASS #24733 replied to Father Kit Cool Gun Garth's topic in SASS Wire Saloon
I have tried to tell my son: do a proper job, even if you don't have to. It's just the right thing to do. Maybe one day he'll understand what I am saying. -
WTB: Uberti 1873 modified for CS45
Springfield Slim SASS #24733 replied to Sam Colt's topic in SASS Wire Classifieds
There is no such thing as dies for C54S, as yet. You need to make up a set using parts of other caliber sets. There have been a few discussions on this here in tha past few months. I personally use an 45 Colt/Schofield RCBS Cowboy set for sizing and bullet seating, and use a shortened Dillon 45 Colt die for roll crimping. Using 45 AR dies will get you most of the way there also, but will size the brass smaller. -
I helped the problem a little bit with my wife's rifle by only sizing the top half of the case. A better solution was to switch her to C45S brass. Smaller amounts of smokeless powder but seems like higher pressure to help seal, but without increased recoil. Still runs dirtier than my BP 44-40 guns

You didn't say what you use for bullet lube. Might make a difference.

Do it every time I clean my BP rifle. With a little Murphy's Oil Soap added.

Selling Primers to locals how much $
Springfield Slim SASS #24733 replied to irish ike, SASS #43615's topic in SASS Wire
Reasonable is what they were selling for when they were in stock. Normal right now is closer to 100.00/1000 if you can find them. Kind of depends on how long ago you bought them and if you need the money, or just want to give some of your shooting buddies a good deal. -
Maybe, but I would feel better about it if the factory in Australia was making that statement.

SPF John Wayne leather vest 4X

Nice vest, always wanted a Duke vest, but it has 3 too many X's to fit me. -
Do pan lubing they said. It will be easy they said. NOT.
Springfield Slim SASS #24733 replied to Cholla's topic in SASS Wire
The wax has to be slightly warm. It is the degrees of "slightly" that is the key problem. But once you get the details worked out is isn't too difficult, if you don't need more than a few hundred. Me, I bought a Lubrisizer and never looked back. -

Except most 44-40 guns have .429 barrels, same as 44-40. I reamed out both my 44 Special '72 Opentops to 44-40 and use .429 bullets with no problems. I rented a reamer that was made to SAAMI specs and it barely even touched in the neck area. It worked so well that I reamed out my 4 other Uberti 44-40 revolvers so that they would all be the same and not be so finicky about ammo.

Looking for AA Hulls
Springfield Slim SASS #24733 replied to Currituck Kid's topic in SASS Wire Classifieds
I have a Large Flat Rate box full of once fired ribbed Estate hulls, about 425 in there, if you think they will work for you. 25.00 shipped. -
MY wife has in the past shot my 44-40 through her 45 Colt rifle. I eliminated to problem by switching her to C45S brass. Accuracy was off a bit, but the brass did not split. More than once at the public range I have found 9mm brass that the neck was blown out to 40 caliber. I assume it was shot in a 40 S&W caliber gun. And 44 Russian shoot fine through a 44-40 pistol, at least with my BP loaded rounds. With high pressure Smokeless, who knows.
