Thanks.

I have a receiver and barrel for a model 1892 winchester. The threads on the receiver are pretty nasty. I read elsewhere the receiver and barrel are .809"-20. Does anyone know where I can get a tap and possibly die for this?

......."Thou shalt not covet" That only applies to his wife, not his guns. :D Babalooie, hope everythings okay or soon to be. Considering the possibilities, it turned out great. I'm not completely healed, but issues were addressed and corrected before anything really serious happened. Not...

Sorry for the late post. I just returned home from an unscheduled hospital stay that began on Saturday. Will post replies later in the week.

Babalooie

VERY nice guns.

Babalooie

Pricedo, you are absolutely right. I work in a gun shop and spend a lot of time cleaning and making minor repairs on many of the guns that come into the shop. In fact, not too long ago, I rebuilt a model 1892 (made in '93) for the boss. A real adventure trying to locate replacements, but I got it al...

I'd think twice before "hunting" a piece of eye candy like your model 92 though.

Do you think it's too pretty to hunt?

Babalooie

Is the ammo made by Remington and Winchester safe to shoot in my 120 year old gun, or should I go with the lower pressure versions like Black Hills and Ultramax?

Babalooie

Does anyone use the winchester reloading tool with the 1885 patent date? It's a neat design.

Babalooie

I checked with Doug Turnbull's to see if they did the restoration. It wasn't them.

The winner is TEXASGUY. PM me with your mailing address and I'll get your gift out to you.

Congratulations!

I haven't spent much time on this forum. If this is against forum policy, please delete. Santa left me a keychain in my stocking. It has a plastic (Tupperware) miniature Glock 17 attached. If you'd like this as a belated Christmas present, leave a post on this thread. I'll pick a winner on Dec. 26 (...

Why do you want to know who refinished it? ..How does she shoot? I just like to research the history of my guns. Obviously, if it was originally a safe queen, a previous owner would not have gotten the work done. Won't know how it shoots until I get some ammo and can get to a range that allows rifl...

I recently acquired a Winchester Model 1892 in .32-20 caliber made in 1892. It was professionally restored and looks like new. I want to try to find out who did the restoration, but am new to this and don't know who to contact. Any suggestions? http://i1135.photobucket.com/albums/m631/Babalooie/Joes...

IMHO if they sell it for the same price as the .38 Special, they'll sell a ton of them. There's a real need for an inexpensive and reliable .22 revolver. I used to have a ten shot S&W but sold it in a fit of ignorance. When I tried to buy another, I suffered massive sticker shock; too expensive ...

Folks, I had some problems after returning from Buffalo; I hope to be making more rosaries soon.

Babalooie

88 and I'm not related to any of them.

"The reaction might have been Satan's way of getting back at you for the damage you have dealt him." Most definitely. In fact, it happens often. I just got back from Buffalo (8/12-16), NY where I assisted a friend with his conference at the HBSC arena. A very impressive event. Was told th...

Bump.

Memorial Day bump.

Babalooie

well, it has become a very simple solution. I'm keeping both and selling a couple of pistolas instead. Actually, a revolver and pistol - both S&W's.

You guys are right. It's like trying to decide what child you want to get rid of. I'm probably gonna keep 'em both. But, I probably should get rid of one............just can't. They shoot the same cartridge but they're totally different guns, and both are sweet in their own way. The Marlin is nice a...

I have the 1892CS by Marlin and 92SRC by Rossi, both in .357. The Marlin is in near new condition; the Rossi has been used and shows it. The Marlin forearm is bulky, the Rossi is slim. The Marlin is definitely a "nicer" gun; the Rossi has a lot of character. I'm thinking of "thinning ...

Pravastatin was the one that did me in. I'm kinda gunshy right now. Remember that many people who are a 'candidate' for a 'statin' are so-called 'moderate risk' - meaning that out of every 100,000 of them, between 10,000 and 20,000 of them will have an MI or stroke during the next ten years; the WO...

They're addicting and multiply like rabbits. What's the secret? - I've locked up my Puma .45 Colt and my Marlin .45-70 in a nice dark safe, with a sprit of Hoppe's no. 9 for romance, in hopes of getting a nice long-action levergun in .460 S&W, but they seem never to get the job done. Do I need ...

To be honest, it'll take a LOT of coaxing by my MD before I'm willing to go through that experience again. He's a good honorable practitioner who I've dealt with for about 20 years. I don't feel the same toward the drug company.

Update: I'm still recovering from the cholesterol lowering med my doctor gave me; having trouble walking and can't climb stairs without a cane and both feet on a step. It's coming slow. Don't know if this thing is permanent. Please bear with me and I'll fill all orders. It's just gonna take a bit of...

There's a magazine called, Hemming's Motor News that's virtually nothing but ads. It's for serious collectors. You could possibly get top dollar for that gasket set by selling through them.

Babalooie, kind sir, I wish that I had something like your Rosary at my disposal many years ago, when I was a young signal/cavalry officer. (Now, I'm just old.) I may not be able to get one of those Rosaries for myself, but . . . Maybe I'll be able to help defray the costs of someone who really nee...

Babalooie

If any of you have requested rosaries and not received them, please bear with me. Recently, I've had a negative reaction to a prescription and am currently bedridden with limited mobility until the effects wear off. Sorry, this thing hit me like a ton of bricks.

Hobie,

Thanks for the the invitation. I try to visit all forums that I have posts on, every day or so. I'll definitely be stopping by.

Babalooie

Excellent. My Mom's husband wanted a rosary for Christmas this past year and we had a heck of a time finding a nice one. When we finally found some, they were WAY over priced. We ordered one on-line and it got me thinking that I would like to made one for myself. This has just inspired me more to d...

Wow! That's my web site. I had no idea you all were discussing this until I saw that I had over 60 hits from this forum.
