Re: Do you own an SKS?
I had one breifly back in the mid 80's. Never liked it, didnt trust it, always felt like the bolt was about to fly back and hit me in the face. Kept it about 2 weeks then got rid of it.

7.5 gr. Unique was a pretty stout load for my pistols, some of the guys at my CAS matches muttered a bit about whacking the steel targets too hard.

Those calibers don't come in the 1876, but are chambered for the 1886.

I have a Browning 1886 SRC that i really like, all except the sights. Does anyone know if the 86 Rifle sights will fit on the carbine? Or any other brand of sights. I like the the buckhorns sights the most, never relly bonded with tangs sights. Thanks.

I have a Winchester 94 Trapper in 45 Colt that is one of my farvorite rifles, goes great with my Ruger Blackhawk. But,,, given a choice, I'd stick with my Rossi 92 in 44-40. The Rossi is just a hair better in accuracy, and just feels better in my hands.
