Re: Good news from Mossberg

I am sorry to say (type) that I would not buy the current Winchester 94 made in Japan. I will consider buying the Mossberg 464. The stainless steel does look nice.

Re: OT: No more TV Westerns?

I have basic cable (no box) with 62 channels. I watch the four big networks and two or three cable channels. Like most of you, I remember The Rifleman with great fondnous. Bonanza was another I watched regularly. I do not get the cable channels dedicated to the old western TV shows. I too watched De...

Re: New SAA Clone

COSteve, beautiful guns. I have a Rossi 92 with 16 inch barrel and a Uberti Catleman with 4 3/4 inch barrel, both in .45 colt. They are a blast to shoot. I have not attempted anything past 100 yards, the Rossi is spot on, the Uberti hasn't hit anything out that far. Is it the gun, or is it the shoot...

Re: Has anyone any shooting experience with the new Italian 92's

I own a Cimarron model 1892, have only shot 10-15 rounds thru it. Not enough to state or say any issues. But I do not shoot SASS or cowboy action of any kind. Leaf springs may not be as strudy as coil springs. IMO, this may be the cause of some of the Italian issues. But let me assure you, I will ha...

Re: Why did America choose the Peacemaker and the 1873.......

While there were many excellent guns in the old west (pre civil war), it was the self contain metallic cartridge that made firearms a huge sucess. Winchester with the .44 wcf and Colt SAA with the .45 colt. This may account for there popularity in books and movies.

Re: Advantages of Marlin '89 or'94 over Win 92?

Winchester 1892, and the 1886 for that matter, were the leader in design and strength. Marlin was trying to play catch-up. While I like the idea of made in America, as already said, it doesn't really mean anything today. There has always been a global economy, remember John Browning even went to Eur...
