  1. Either rifle will do what you want and do it very well. I have two Uberti’s, one Miakou and a Rem-Marlin. I like them in that order. Go to a gun show where you can most likely handle them all in an afternoon. Buy what feels good and best fits your budget.
  2. I did this 👆👆and found it to be a hassle. I cast outside of my garage and have to use extension cords for power. There is a limit to how much you can draw. 15 or 20amps. UNLESS YOU CAN BUILD YOUR OWN PID controller, consider purchasing an RCBS PROMELT 2 or the Lyman bottom pour furnace. A prefab PID controller will cost between $150-200 whereas both the Lyman and RCBS furnaces have them built in. So one less box on your bench, one less plug, one less hassle. use your current pot to preheat your lead and transfer it to the furnace as needed. i can cast couple thousand bullets in an afternoon with this set up. My small pot in the picture is an antique 10lb tipping pot. I melt cold ingots there and transfer to my PROMELT furnace as needed which keeps that pot at temperature. Ive seen pictures of the double pot set up but they were scary looking and take Unio space. I can store all of my casting equipment on a four foot shelf when not in use. I’ve since replaced the griddle with a small toaster oven to preheat my moulds.
  3. BTT with a take all price of $25 plus shipping!
  4. Never met the man but I recently purchased a used SASS 1873 that he slicked and while it has a good bit of “stage rash” it has become my favorite! Godspeed Mr. Bowie! Condolences to all who knew and loved him!
  5. If yer lookin, Ken Griner has a great deal posted over on the Merchant wire!

  6. WOW! This is a great buy! I already have one though!
  7. why would I when there are so many much less expensive alternatives?
  8. $25 for the lot plus actual shipping. These vintage feather hat bands were made in some far away country. Smallest size is about 26 1/2” and the longest are right at 28” i accept PayPal FF or a bank check. Will ship from 76006 after Payment clears. they are numbered top (1) to bottom (5). first “I’ll take it” gets it.
  9. I plan to shoot LandRun in 2026. Already booked my hotel room and added a reminder to my Feb. 1 calendar. i haven’t taken up WB yet ‘cause i don’t have a 1911 or a holster rig set up yet…. If I did, the old schedule would be my preference.
  10. $65 / pound? I don’t think so!
  11. Boogie did mine and I love ‘em but $1200 a pair! Reach out to BOOMSTICK Jay in Leonard TX. I think he’s less expensive and has a good rep here in North Texas.
  12. Great time to stock up!
  13. SOLD: BLACK Mernickle 38spl /357mag loading/staging strap. Ive had this for a couple of years but prefer the wood loading blocks. $35 shipped to your door in the lower 48 states from North Texas after payment clears. I accept PayPal friends & family or a bank check.
  14. called ‘em today. Replacements on the way! No charge! Great customer service from Wolff!
