It means that I wouldn't want ANY part of that gun - but then, I don't CAS, either, so YMMV. . I don't either, though I've considered it for years. I think most cowboy action shooters reload; wouldn't oversized chambers be hard on the brass? Then again, they do tend to use fairly mild loads. Or, th...

I have more Vaqueros than I know what to do with, but I still like looking at the ones for sale. Anyway, this is copied from a Gunbroker ad: This pair of Vaqueros have both been customized for Cowboy Action Shooting. They both have action jobs for easy-cocking hammers and light triggers and the cyli...

I thought they silver soldered them after pinning with small pin holes? Why do you want to replace it Otto? Is it loose or has too much of it has been filed? It has been filed pretty short, and rather crudely so. It also is bent to the left. I haven't test fired it, but all my others seem to shoot ...

How is the front sight held in place? It appears simply to be pressed into the slot, or is it welded? Is this something I can do, or do I need a gunsmith? Parts are available at Midway.

I'm not a believer in bad times FOR WHERE I LIVE. But if you believe that could happen WHERE YOU LIVE than a lever gun doesn't even make my top 5. Maybe not even top 10. Let's face it if were indeed perfect than it would be the military choice. It's not. Give me mag fed semi auto rifle first and pr...

The toothbrush has been used off and on for centuries in one form or another. The first mass-produced ones appeared around the late 1700's or early 1800's.

Fluoride, around time of The Great War.

One source that I have run across (and admittedly not confirmed) states that each 3 decibels of sound increase actually doubles the volume.

I just use corncob with a little Lyman Turbo charger, followed by a few minutes of dry corncob. I have never had really dark range brass, though.

Otto

Wild speculation on my part, but I assume that .41 almost makes handloading mandatory. I have often considered getting one, though. I even had talked to Nate "Kiowa" Jones about converting a Rossi 92 for me, awhile back.

Otto

Does anybody here own one? How do you like it? Does it fit conventional holsters? Anything you might care to add would be appreciated.

So far, I'm young enough at heart that I can honestly say I'd rather have one of those to call my house, on a $150,000 chunk of land, than the more common scenario of a $150,000 house on a quarter-acre. . .

And why would rifling be necessary in a blank-firing "weapon"?

The barrel was replaced with a rifled Aluminum tube to save weight.

I have noticed that some Rossi 92's have front sights dovetailed into the barrel, while others have them attached to the front barrel band. Where did Winchester place their sights? Did they move from place to place over time? Is there any functional advantage of one over the other? EDIT Actually, he...

Back in 1999, while living in Corpus Christi TX, I bought an Interarms/Rossi 1892 carbine in .45... uh, .45 caliber. Now, I like this gun, but it is none too purty.

I have always wanted a 22 Hornet in a classic lever. Is it possible to rebarrel one of these rifles for the Hornet?

You say you have been a pistol reloader for years: that means you probably have some powders like Unique or 2400 on your bench. A little searching on the web should produce some reduced loads. Also, here is some interesting reading:

Otto

You've come a long way, Baby.

So what is the consensus: studio props or authentic gear?

Otto

If one looks around, one can find lots of reduced loads for .243 Winchester; I speculate that there are a few for 7mm-08 as well.

So I am looking to get a .30-30 to complement my Rossi 92 in .357, with which I wish to learn silhouette-style shooting. I would like an octagonal barrel of 24- to 26-inch length.

The hardest thing to explain is the rig. Must be a concession for poseing that he doctored up.

It seems that whenever I read anything about black powder, cast bullets are being used. Is there some reason jacketed bullets shouldn't be used, or is it just convention? Or, maybe, I just haven't been doing enough reading?
