I got the Ruger for easy suppressor attachment. It makes it better for quiet pest dispatch around the farm, and better for teaching new shooters (they are less flinch when the gun is quiet). I have a 22LR converter that fits 1911's and it is fun too, but not threaded, and I did put a compact red-do...

Does any one know of any gunsmiths doing 348 Ackley improved chambers?

I had one of that vintage.....worked great. never tried the FTX and not impressed with them in other calibers either.

go buy some other brand and I bet your troubles will be over.

have picked up a few of the Savage 219 single barrels that have interchangeable barrels. I have one with a 410, and a 30/30, and a 25/20 barrel, and another that has the 30/30 and a 16 ga barrel with polychoke with a set up like that you really can hunt most anything. something very appealing about ...

I have the uberti 1875 in 44/40 and 45 colt, and it does seem easier to shoot than the colt. both versions are very very accurate.

Ya can't have too many .22s..... 8) so far … you are right !

they are full size guns and i believe the volcanics were made from scratch ! also I recall there was someone who posted on here years ago, showing shop made volcanics etc. don't know if that is who did them or not the winchesters are conversions, but all machined by hand and hand engineered.....they...

In the early 1970`s I had a shot out 32-20 1873 in just fair shape rechambered and and the barrel bored out for .38 special. I didnt really work it out much before I sold it. Then I also had a shot out 92 in 25-20 rechambered to 357. Today I own a Rossi in .357 and a Browning 92 in .44 mag. What I ...

hfcable

excellent rifles. just the way I like them - used not abused and ready for much more use, and the configuration with button magazine is my absolute favorite.

I like all those calibers but 38/55 and 32 special are my two favorites.

way to go !!!!

I have a couple of these and they are built like tanks ! this is an interesting version: https://i248.photobucket.com/albums/gg196/hfcable/image_zpskefb2nuj.jpeg https://i248.photobucket.com/albums/gg196/hfcable/image_zpseexdln4e.jpeg https://i248.photobucket.com/albums/gg196/hfcable/image_zpstbxd75...

Does a 7 1/2 inch barrel .44 magnum revolver with a pistol scope split the difference between a pistol and a carbine? I think it does ballistically, but the real advantage of the 'carbine' is the ability to have better long-range sights (either optics or a longer-sight-radius iron sight set), and a...

I have always thought that to be true. I never thought it was necessary to adhere to 38-55 loading levels in those rifles. Might say, on the same page here. in fact Ken waters did an article where he worked with a winchester 94 in 38/55 [ not a current vintage one ] and took the loads up small step...

hf, not sure what you are referring to but, I have a Marlin 375 but they are chambered for the 38-55. But it is a Marlin rifle. just that the barrels for the 375 in marlin and their current 38/55 barrels are probably essenntially the same critter, and you can use the 375 brass in your 38/55 marlin ...

and probably will work fine with 375 brass, I suspect the only difference is the stamping on the barrel.

I had one of those, and the bore was about 375-376, so it worked with modern 375 bullets. my old 38/55s are larger bore.... all of them shoot the barnes 'original' 38/55 bullet well, which is .377...it works well in all of mine I use lead bullets as well, and I think most of mine are .378 and .379. ...

and since we are just wishing......I saw [ in an auction catalog ] an exquisite little german drilling, double 410 over 22LR ! highly decorated etc. it belonged to the publisher Robert Peterson, and it brought under 15,000$ [ with the buyers premium]

it was just a perfect rabbit gun.
