G W Wade Posted December 2, 2022 Share Posted December 2, 2022 Anyone here have any experience with either the Crossno or Shaver 45/70 barrel adapter particularly in Uberti 1885. Havn't been able to find much info except sounds like Crossno is one piece case adapter is fixed to barrel versus Shaver sounds like case adapter is removed for reloading. Correct, or am I misreading something? Thanks GW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Medicine Creek Johnny Posted December 2, 2022 Share Posted December 2, 2022 I have heard good things about Crossno. I good binder mechanic should have a big enough hammer to install it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zeb Gray, #36839 Posted December 2, 2022 Share Posted December 2, 2022 GW, your take on the differences between the two is correct. I had a Crossno before the CPA. I used it in my 45-90 highwall. It was very accurate with a five shot, dime sized group at 50 yards. It was easy to install & use. However, it is not handy if you want to switch back & forth from .22 to big bore.

G W Wade Posted December 3, 2022 Author Share Posted December 3, 2022 Looks like the collective votes for Crossno.. Thanks GW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uriah, SASS # 53822 Posted December 3, 2022 Share Posted December 3, 2022 I have a Crossno. The only thing I don’t like about it is I have to remove the sight base to get it in and out of my Sharps. My brother had a Lee Shaver. He has no problem with the sight base. And, I believe, he can also use it in a 45 or 40 caliber. Uriah Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G W Wade Posted December 3, 2022 Author Share Posted December 3, 2022 Getting into it now. One friend offered me his Shaver and have 2 Crossno in line for decision GW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lankyframe #44046 Posted December 4, 2022 Share Posted December 4, 2022 I think Shilo offers them and they are 25" long. If your barrel is longer, say 30" wouldn't that erode the rifling? LF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Uriah, SASS # 53822 Posted December 4, 2022 Share Posted December 4, 2022 Barrel Erosion - no Upon removal of the insert it’s a good idea to clean the barrel. Wax at the end of the insert, with wax coated 22s and a lot of shooting. On the Crossno insert, it goes in better with gun grease applied to the insert. Cleaning.

The Original Lumpy Gritz Posted December 4, 2022 Share Posted December 4, 2022 Take the eye disc off the tang sight staff, and the insert slides in easily And it's spelled SHILOH.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G W Wade Posted December 4, 2022 Author Share Posted December 4, 2022 Lots of people are taliking about a sleeve to protect the rifling made of a tube on .014 brass with a wrap of tape to hold in place to prevent damage/ corrosion to bore. I HAVE been trying but not a lot of info out there GW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Original Lumpy Gritz Posted December 4, 2022 Share Posted December 4, 2022 Just run a brush with oily patch through the main bore when done. Not a big deal.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
