Colt New Service .455 Eley. Serial number on frame and crane indicates DOM of 1914. Cylinder appears to have been reamed to 45 Colt with the chambers slightly countersunk. 45 Colt drops in easily and cycles fine. Extraction is iffy with some loaded rounds slipping free of the star. The only...

I have a Browning (Miroku) 1895 lever action. It is currently chambered in .30-06. I was thinking about re-barreling it to 6.5 swede. Has anyone attempted this? Doesn't seem like there would be much problem with the bolt face or magazine. My Google Fu has not worked on this particular combo.

Anyone know if the butt stocks of an Uberti Henry and 1866 will interchange? Would like to get a '66 SRC but prefer the crescent butt plate (and trap door) found on earlier Winchester models.

Calling all FROCS! I've been offered the opportunity to purchase a used Centennial 1960. 1970 vintage, three screw with Ormsby style engraving. Seller wants 240.00 USD. Finish is still worn, but good with no rust/pitting. The bore and chambers seem in pretty good condition also with no...

I've been thinking about adding .44 Colt to the cartridge belt. I'm specifically looking at the Uberti made/Cimarron imported 1860 Richards Type II. I know it's slightly scaled up from the original and I know 44 Colt today is not the same as 44 Colt of ye olde days. Those diversions I can...

What say you? After a five month boat ride from Italy my 1873 finally arrived! Got it home and went to break it down for cleaning and noticed these gems. Contacted Cimarron and they say it is either shopwear (on a special order?) or damage from shipping. There is no noticeable damage to...

So after 20 years of Vaqueros and clones I've decided to try for a Colt. Specifically a late model 3rd Gen; P1850. All inventory around here has dried up within the last few months. I've noticed several on the auction sites in varying degrees of condition and going for between $1100 and...

Greetings devotees of the scattergun. For general purpose, which choke would you recommend for 3" 00 buck from a 20" Mossberg 500. It's more of a field (truck) gun than anything else and is used more for 4-legged critters. I'm more familiar with rifle/ammo combos than shotgun, but it's such a...

Does anyone know where I might find a link to Feinstein's Draft Bill concerning proposed firearms legislation? I have looked all over the interwebs and can only find a summary. The same regurgitated article claims the NRA-ILA has a copy of the text. I would love to read the entire proposal.

I've been looking around for another single action and handled a Cimarron Evil Roy the other day. The fit, finish and function were definately better than my plain Model P's (which I like a lot) but I can't seem to find any details on the "improved internals" the website talks about (and every...

Didn't want to hijack deerslayer's thread but it looks like there will be some more C&B action in the theatres this year in addition to Van Damme. http://www.imdb.com/media/rm3017455360/tt1486192 It'll be interesting to see how period correct they are considering Poe died around '49. But what...

Looking to get some replacement nips for an Uberti 1860 Army. Thinking of getting some Treso (Ampco) from Tracks. Does anyone favor one type over the other? The price is the same, so that's not even an issue. Maybe something else? Thanks. French

Thinking about picking up an Uberti 1858 in .36cal and was wondering about a Howell's Conversion cylinder for it. I noticed the conversion cylinder is for 38 special and not 38 Colt like the ones for the '51 Navy. Is this because the 1858 cylinder is longer? Has anyone tried 38spl in their...

Mod's: If this is better suited for the General Forum, please move or delete as you see fit. I ran across this while surfing the headlines this morning. In light of recent shootings involving LEO's, Annette Robinson has sponsored http://assembly.state.ny.us/leg/?bn=A02952 . It appears to have...

Anyone here reload for the .44 Colt. I'm thinking about getting a Cimarron R-M conversion and wanted to go with the .44 to keep it a bit more historically correct. It seems that .44 is easier to find these days than .45 and a bit less expensive. I have a can of Pyrodex P and was thinking I...

So I've been kicking around the idea of getting a conversion type (R-M)revolver. Since I already have an Uberti '51 Navy C&B, I was thinking about Cimarron's 1860 R-M conversion in .44 Colt. Does anyone here reload for the 44 Colt. That particular cartridge seems to be the most "authentic"...

Afternoon, Just got an Armalite LEC15A4CBK and am looking to swap the black furniture for the factory (OEM) green. Armalite is out of furniture sets and it doesn't look like they will be getting any in soon. Anyone out there know where I might aquire a set similar to the stock ones. I'm...

Anyone here had an experience with USFA's warranty department. I sent my new Rodeo in four weeks ago and have not heard a peep. Is this typical? ---H

Here we are again... So I had an Armalite carbine in the A2 configuration, but parted with it a while ago. Now I'm feeling a bit lonely and since .223 ammo is so scarce around here I thought it would be the absolute perfect time to get another. However, I was never that crazy about the...

Playing hooky today. Well, got a Uberti 1851 London a while back and I reckon it's time to give it a whirl. Fit and finish are as good as I've seen but the trigger! It's about as close to a hair trigger as I have come accross on a factory repro. Just a bit too light for my taste. I'd like...
