check this first. the frame behind the carrier where the bolt slides is worn and letting the bolt tilt. I have a 73 in 38-40 that had the problem you describe. without a ctg when closing the bolt it would let the extractor fall into the chamber. (badly worn) I thought I needed to do some of the fixe...

Griff, I bought one of those maybe ten years ago. Wayne McLerran offered those I believe. $40. + $3. shipping. this may not be current as I have hade it for a while. Wayne also wrote a book on the Browning Model 1885 Black Powder Cartridge Rifle. that gives research on this gun. Try him at wayne@Tex...

the 308 filled to 3000psi (recommended psi) is about as loud as a 22lr out of a ruger 10-22. but makes a different sound.
local fire dept's can fill air tanks. some will some won't.

Little Doc

Howdy TUT Got a DAQ 308 exile earlier this year . he makes them in cal up to 50 I believe. Takes orders of only 50 at a time. all hand made. these use the same bullets you would cast for ctg guns. look him up at Quackenbush big bore air guns. lotsa good info at his web site. be verry verry careful R...

largest bullet that will chamber, does not have to be seated longer than factory.

Little Doc

mgdan, your bullet is too small for the ball seat. (throat). if you don't want to do a throat slug to find out the size you can get larger bullets. to explain with a story. I acquired a marlin model 93 in 32-40. .321 bore. cast and sized bullets to the book. shot them at 25yds at a 1' square steel t...

45 gage piano wire will make that spring and will never break. you can adjust tension as desired.

getting here late I have to say most of my observations have already been discussed. I lean toward the black gun. I am a peepsight guy but this one seemed a little lacking. needs a smaller appature for target work and more adjustment. I am with others on the front sight barrel band. Has a matell toy...

Little Doc

Great day, Joe thanks for the opportunity to shoot these guns and thanks to Ricky for the place to do it. Weather was great (well except for the wind). Was nice to meet other forum members. This provided us an opportunity to run these guns for accuracy, function and feel and balance. Always nice to ...

Howdy Griff, Long time no see. I have had that same gun for several years. 300grgc from a lee mould with a stiff charge of H110 1550fps. not max. Killed two deer with it. Sounds like you are going to shoot plainsman at comin-at-cha. Gona shoot mine in that match with bp. I sighted mine in to shoot t...

Little Doc

30-30 just might be the most under rated ctg.

Little Doc

I believe ruger made 38-40 vaqueros with 40 s&w cyl. buddy of mine had a pair.
probably a custom run by some distributor davidson's maybe.
what you suggest would get you there.

howdy griff, this was posted on another site or maybe this one. i can't remember or i would refer you to it. quite interesting. i will describe it as i remember. drill the indent in the primer with the proper size drill for a flash hole. (drill all the way thru to make a center flash hole) then dril...

a lot of interest here. i check back often to see what Paco has to say. sad to see no info yet. but i have a question. Jim T can you give us an up date on Paco and wife. your last info was in may. i am sure everyone would be interested in their health. unless of course we would be intruding on their...

Little Doc

i have a friend who has a remington keen. inherited from his fatherinlaw. 85% finish and a pristeen bore. i have had the privlage to handle it several times and have shot it many times. i have only seen three of these and the other two were junk. a very interesting piece.

Little Doc

you may now have a jugged chamber. i have seen that in a 30-30 before many years ago. disassemble the gun and drive the case out with a brass rod. (you will have to releave the extractor from the case to move the bolt) if you are not comfortable with the disassembly take it to a smith and ask that t...

Little Doc

kirk d. marlin jam is a mistuned rifle. it can be fixed if there. i think the marlin would be the best. fewer moving parts, may be easily cleaned from the breach. and made as slick as one could want. my vote goes for the marlin 94. i might add i am a 92 fan but for the question you ask i think the m...

Little Doc

rusty, just some rambling here. maybe some of it will be of help. i bought a cch in the 1980's. a friend did also. we bought a rcbs mould can't remember the weight but 265 comes to mind. this was a gascheck bullet. bought a 375 sizer die and loaded some rounds. first five rounds were ok but after th...

your boolet needs to match the throat. i once had a 93 in 32-40 that keyholed all boolets at 25 yds. would only put two of five on a one ft square. i increased the boolet size to .325 and all is fine now. copy the loads listed above with the larger boolet and you will probably see good results. this...

shot a cas match with a guy who was shooting a uberti 73 in 357. he was shooting 38's. this gun was throwing all brass (fired cases) forward and he was loosing all his brass as it went in front of the firing line. most i have seen throw the brass up or up and back. usually have your hat brim full of...

1886 lee had no 45-60 dies when i needed some so i cut down 45-70 dies and they work fine. as far as FCD i ordered one for 45-70 knocked the center out and cut it off the length difference in the two cases. works like a champ. the same thing can be done if you make 38-55 out of 30-30. hope this help...

Little Doc

howdy tutt and all yep i said that. heard it all my life. just to make sure i did not inform you wrong i just made a test. 1873 in 45 colt will empty the magz. upside down. 1873 in 357 will not with 38sp. did not have any mags handy. the 1876 in 45-60 will not the ctg is allowed to fall to far down ...

Little Doc

hello 1886, i will tell you what i did. hope this is the info you are looking for. i made my 45-60 cases from 45-70 brass. the brand makes no difference. first trim the rim to a thickness of .058 to .060. 45-70 brass that i have measured is .064 to .069. if the headspace on your 76 is correct the 45...

NO, but let me tell you a story. sometime about the year 2000 myself and four other folks were on our way to a weekend sass match. we had to travel 175 miles one way to get there. this required us to leave quite early. about half way there we stopped at a mc donalds to get a bite of breakfast. we al...

billy dixon shot an indian off a horse at 1538 yds with a buffalo rifle and iron sights in the 1800's. your question leaves a lot to know. gun, caliber, load, light, wind. many factors will affect how far you can shoot with iron sights. i would say this, this will be different with each person, thei...
