I use them for some of my CAS/SASS loads, 44 Sp., 44WCF, 44 Mag. I just completed loading 100 44 mags this morning with .430" 200 gr. RNFP's. The powder used; APP 3F. They are a very good quality product. The lube is for both BP and smokless use. As they are 20/1 and soft, do not push them as f...

I shoot a BP-sub in my Colt 44WCF. I prefer APP over the true BP because I can use my smokless lubed bullets. I have two loadings, I use. One is a CAS/SASS competition load. It uses a case filler and is a mild load for my Colt SAA. My other load is for my 1873 44WCF Uberti Carbine. This load has pow...

You can buy a pre-64 94 for that price. I agree $400.00, maybe $500.00 tops.

A Pard of mine just bought a 1954, very nice 94 SRC 30WCF for $550.00.

Winchester continued to make, and to sell, the 1873 alongside the 1892 up unto the 30s. Why? Because for many folks, the 1873 was "The Winchester." In any case, the Winchester 1873, and it's bigger sibling the 1876, are simply the most elegant expression of the victorian gunmaker's art. I...

The Chinese Norinco 87 is built on the 1901 design, but in 12 ga. The piece also has other inprovements such as the drop-two feature.

Lefty Dude

Real Cowboys did carry the 87 with the mag full. The Winchester 87 was the favorite of the famous Arizona territory, Cochise County Sheriff John Slaughter.
The 87 had a mite more horsepower than the Double barrels of the time period. Then John Browning designed the Model 93 Pump and the race was on.

My Son shoots an 87 12 ga. in CAS/SASS competition. He is almost as quick shooting the Lever as his Winchester 97/12 pump (We are talking 1/10th of a Second). He operates the lever with his right hand and loads two with his left hand. The piece has the drop-two feature modification. It gets real swe...

Some Cowboy shooters use original 87's in CAS/SASS competition. There is a firm that makes a factory shell that is metric size to approx. 2 1/2". I believe it is BP. This is also a low pressure shell.

A Gun Smith by the Cowboy Alias of "Coyote Cap" is the 87 & 97 specialist.

I sold an original 1st Gen grip set last year. I got $150.00 for them, the buyer was a Colt Collector and bought them for a client. He resold them for $225.00. They were about 85-90 % and were not marked. They were from the early 1900 period. I tried them on my 3rd Gen. Colts, and they were smaller....

Lefty Dude

With all my SAA Colts & Clones I make sure the forcing cone is re-cut and the barrel/breach squared to the cylinder. Rugers have tight forcing cones as most shooters shoot jacketed bullets. Some Rugers out of the box have no forcing cones.

Lefty Dude

The reference may be, the barrel thread is tight in the frame, thus making a tight forcing cone. Just a guess you understand.

Marlins do not feed well or function with SWC bullets in 44-40's. One must use Round nose or Round Nose Flat Points. Also they are case length sensitive.

"UN Agenda 21", sounds like to me.

They are closing BLM and Forest Service access here in Arizona. And these are not Wilderness or Primative areas.

The Feds are pushing Agenda 21 on all our Towns, Cities, Counties and States.

Very nice indeed !

Older RCBS dies did not have the roll crimp built-in the seating die. My old 44-40 RCBS die set will not crimp, I found this out the hard way.
I bought this set at a gun show. It is, I believe a first generation RCBS die set.

The item you seek; is a brass drift punch and a small hammer.

The 97 Marlin mag loading tube is not like others. The outer cover is what extracts from over the inner tube for loading. (just in reverse from others). Yours may be missing and only the inner tube has survived. I shoot CCI-SV in my 97 and they are very accurate in the piece. I have also shot Federa...

It will do no good to slug the barrel if it is not clean. Make sure you have no leading in the leade area of the barrel. This would be just forward of the chamber & forcing cone. Minor leading will give you poor accuracy. The previous owner of my carbine shot larger than necessary sized bullets ...

They use 44 mag case's to make the 44 Evans Long.

I have a 44 mag. for the reason that when the shortages come, and they will. If I need factory it will be in greater supply than 45 Colt. Why not look for a Rossi in 44-40.

I had at one time, some 20 years ago a fine 30 cal long range Rifle. It was a wildcat 30-338. A 338 mag necked down to 30 cal, or 7mm Mag necked up. This case has a longer neck than a 300 win-mag and stabalizes the heavier bullets better than a 300 WM. Years ago it was the caliber of choice for the ...

Mine is a 26" octagon barreled model and is a tack driver. This one was in the last group made in Hartford.

$600.00 would be a fair price.

For a few hundred more you can find a early 1900's if you are patient.

A lot of them are comming out of the closets these days.

I would go with a .309 GC, and .310 barefooted. JMHO, you understand.

Most chamber/throats will accept a .310.
