I don't even want to tell you what I paid for my Uberti S&W American 8" 44 Special . More the double this one !

RIP Mike Pinder, your contributions to the Moody Blues will live on in their music.

Shotgun boogies "66-style " loading gate for the '73 makes it easier to load also.

Idiot convention.

According to most frozen food portions, I seem to be a family of four!

While I have never really been a SxS guy, per se, I have to admit that over the years, a lot of people made a lot of interesting ones, from very simple to very fancy. On the "collector" side of things, and I use the term in the sense of just acquiring things that you find interesting, not for investment, there are a lot of fascinating things out there. I have come to learn that there are just as many variations on the basic theme of double barreled shotgun as there are on lever action rifle. If not more. And what is even more enjoyable is that even things that were "high grade" guns back in the day can be obtained for a reasonable price if they are not all that pretty anymore, but still in shootable condition.

Less powder more shot

I remember him well as an icon at Norco. Great pard to shoot with. RIP

I soon traded it in on something I wanted more. Not considering my time, I made a good return.

Another issue is the firing pin cavity in the bolt. If you have a lot of gunk in the firing pin hole, could be slowing every thing down in cold weather. Even worse is if the gunk builds up and binds the firing in the forward position. During the season, I use non-chlorinated brake cleaner to blast it out, then re-lubricate. At the end of the year, I completely disassemble the bolt and replace the extractor.

Where can I find a 11MM dovetail front globe sight

Thank you Rooster, I kept watching this and my resolve to resist was getting weaker and weaker......LOL. I already have one so did not.."need" it. You got a great deal, I gave quite a bit more for mine about 3-4 months ago. Macon

A whisper spring from The Smith Shop. Smith Shop retired several years ago, Online Outpost took their remaining stock. No more of these remain on Online Outpost website listings. I've got at least 2 in my 73s right now - been running them for 10 years. GJ

On the 66 you can also drill and tap a hole in the lower tang for a strain screw. Just like a 73 has. Then if you are away from home and start getting misfires you can tighten the strain screw to increase mainspring pressure.

I'm sorry, phone is horrible....the Holy Black is what we call real black powder, Goex,Shutzen, old ensford, Swiss, we like shooting it because it's what was loaded in the old west, I like it causes it goes big boom and lots smoke. When I started I went to black powder first, moonwaltz, blackjack and a few other big smoke bangers talked me into pale Rider and I never went back. I gotta say, every aspect of this game if fun,from the old mouse fart to the big booms. And you will never find a better,more willing to help group anywhere...like everyone said, go-to a match, try everything cause most these guys will stuff several different guns in your hand so you can see all.. then decide what blows your dress up!!! An elitist, me,wow....ThankS, better than what I'm usually called,hence the name Ornery OAF ...enjoy all!

Came here to mention Longhunter's speed loaders but have also noticed that some make their own. Haven't inspected them carefully but it appears to be a length of PVC pipe with a dowel rod as a pusher. They work very well.

In response to the above post. It is obvious that after all that time you are still regretting the purchase of that badly dented firearm. I mean come on, all that scratching on the wrist area that is supposed to pass for checkering, no finish and I am sure lots of rust specks here and there. I am willing to take it off your hand for 3 times what you paid for it AND I will pay shipping! How can you pass up that deal! I await your reply. All kidding aside, nice rescue and revival.

He's asking for $400-500 per pistol. I've seen some great deals on Piettas specifically recently. You can a basic pair new in that price range at the moment. Maye even have a few bucks left over for a spring kit.
