I got one of the new model Henry steel receiver lever actions in 357 a while back and it had severe issues with failures to eject and jamming. Henry told me to send it back which I did, and they sent me a nice new rifle. Unfortunately, they sent me a .44 magnum instead of a .357, so it had to...

I recently got a new Henry steel receiver .357 which had serious jamming and failure to eject problems. I called Henry and they sent me a shipping label to return it. It's been about 2 weeks and I received the rifle back. When I opened it, I could immediately tell it was a beautiful brand new...

As I posted a couple of weeks ago, I got a new Henry steel .357 and I had a lot of jamming and ejection problems with it. I shot it a second time with Armscor FMJ .357 and it worked a little better. I had only one jam out of 50 rounds. However, it still failed to eject on about half of the...

I tried out my new steel 357, and the report is not good. The rifle would not eject at all if it was held even slightly past 90 degrees. I got the best results by making sure that the receiver was angled slightly down before trying to eject. You did not have to worry about ejecting on the 20% or...

Here a couple of pics of the new steel receiver Henry .357 that I got recently off gunbroker. It is a beautiful rifle, but as you can see, the bluing is a matte finish. I think Henry is marketing this as a hunting rifle. The walnut stock is exceptional. I have heard some negative comments...

I have been wanting a 357 lever action and I saw that Henry had brought out a new all steel model recently as mentioned in a post below. I saw one on gunbroker last night so I took it. It will be warm enough to hit the outdoor range in Ohio before long, so we'll see how it shoots. Chaz

I recently got a Plainfield Machine M1 carbine off of gunbroker and I've had a chance to shoot it now. I think it is well worth keeping...shot very well at 100 yards with absolutely no windage adjustment required in the rear sight. I have found that to be a problem on carbines before. I did...

I wanted to make a taller front sight for a Pietta 1860 using the existing sight as a starting point. I took out the old sight and filed the top down a little bit to make a flat base. Then I cut a piece of 3/32" brass rod and filed a flat spot on the bottom. I glued the rod to the original base...

I only recently developed any interest in M1 carbines. I thought that it might be a good plinking rifle to take to the local outdoor pistol distance range - 25 yards. Not much recoil, and ammunition is still fairly reasonable. Only then did I discover that mass insanity has gripped the shooting...

I bought a Bushmaster A2 target type rifle with a 20" barrel and fixed stock off of gunbroker. The rifle appears to be in very good condition and not to have been shot a whole lot. When I took it to the range the first time it shot 6-8" right at 50 yards with the rear sight pushed all the...

Has anyone used the replacement lever safety spring for an 1873 rifle, from the Smith shop? I ordered one and was ready to put it in when I noticed that it did not look like the pictures on the website. The pictures show one leg of the spring is straight and the other one has a 90 deg bend at...

I have found some great deals on gunbroker, but at times you have to wonder what people are thinking when they bid. I didn't expect to win this auction anyway but I put in a bid on a used auto ordnance M1 carbine after looking at them at the NRA show. I put in a low bid of 550 because there...

It was a good show, well worth going to. About the only issue was that it was insanely crowded. There were a couple of things I wanted to see, but I couldn't get near them and never got back to them. A couple of things stood out for me: The Rossi 1892's were very good. I had an older LSI...

I have a variety of guns that I shoot regularly, not just black powder, but I might add that a lot of my cartridge guns are western reproductions. Looking at the list of booths at the NRA show, I see Uberti (Benelli), Pietta, Cimarron, EMF, Dixie gunworks, Navy arms and Taylors. That's a lot...

Went to Cabelas yesterday and paid 90 dollars for 100 .36 cal roundball, 100 .44 cal roundball, 200 remington #10 caps, and 400 felt wads. They only had the two #10 caps, or I would have gotten a few more. Subtract out the extra 200 wads, and that's about 70 dollars for 200 rounds, or just under...

It's a stainless Pietta SAA in .357/38 spl. You see the Uberti Cattleman Cody on line more often buy it's only made in .45 LC. and it's a lot pricier I finally saw this one on Gunbroker a while back and I got it at a pretty good price also. You can see in the photos that the fake ivory grips...

This is in Columbus Ohio. I stop in to a local Walmart every 2 or 3 weeks to see if they have any pistol ammunition worth getting. The pistol cabinet was dead empty for about a year. Four or five months ago, they started having quite a few boxes of .40 and .45 regularly, but that was it...

I recently got an uberti 1873 winchester carbine through an online auction. The price was very low and the rifle is in like new condition, not a scratch on it. The only thing that bothered me when I got the rifle was the rear sight. It is not sitting completely level. Like so many lever...

I called the seller today, and everything is resolved. He confirmed the correct sale price and emailed me a confirmation from him. I will be able to complete the purchase now. He agreed it was a great deal on the uberti 1873. He has a shop in arizona and was hired by a family there to...

Has anyone bid in an auction format on Gunsamerica? I had not used their site before but I saw a rifle that I was interested in so I thought I would try it. I did read the FAQ regarding auctions and bidding beforehand and I saw nothing out of the ordinary that would raise any red flags. So...
