Very well done, I liked it a lot !

Lefty Dude

If you are a CAS/SASS shooter shooting C&B revolvers the Slix-Shot nipples/cones are the way to go.

And Remington caps are the most reliable ignition to place on those cones. I use both Remington #10 & 11's , 10's seem to stay in better after ignition, they have a longer skirt.

Lefty Dude

IIRC; it is in the same location as before they closed. Nice to have it open again.

Yep the 17 gr. of Red Dot was my dove/Quail load, back in the late 1970's early 80's. One hell of a bird load.
I would not use this load today with the current Alliant Red Dot. The Hercules Red Dot had a different burn rate than the new Red Dot.

Lefty Dude

The Plate and bolt will stay hot, even with the 2 cavity mold I start the pour at the opposite end of the sprue plate. Same as I do with a six holler.

Lefty Dude

Nice looking load, Pard. I also load my 30-30's on my Rock Chucker, and go slow. Makes for very accurate rounds.

Have fun with that Trapper, nice looking piece by the way.

Lefty Dude

IIRC, Taylors sells the Uberti Colt Burgess.

Lefty Dude

I am in the process of getting my Ham license. My technician test is Sept 5 . With all the repeaters out there, and now Echolink, (computer/Radio interface). I will be prepared for what ever.

Are we better off now than before the Inter-net ??????

Lefty Dude

I installed Brownells Big Head Safety's on all my 870's and 1100's many years ago. Lots of years of shooting and safety manipulation is so ingrained in me I am poking for it whenever I try to shoot a messburg. There is no action as slick as an early 870 "Wingmaster" . My early 870 "W...

The worst mistake in my Life was selling my DW Pistol Pak to buy a Smith Model 29 44 mag.

The 6" barrel was my favorite.

IIRC; new my Pistol Pak cost $279.00, this was middle 1970's

We happened to be in Norfolk, VA on July 4 in the early 1990's. The parade of tall ships sailed in review in Norfolk harbor. Leading the parade was the USS Constitution, and Ships from 10 or 12 other nations.
What a sight indeed.

Lefty Dude

The US Army would still insist on a single shot capable ability in the 1894 Bolt Action Krag. The piece has a magazine cut-off lever for single shot use.

Lefty Dude

Arizona is a CC State.

Lefty Dude

Lever cartridge in chamber then manually cock the hammer. each and every time. Rather slow by todays standards of the Lever action. But a far cry over a ML musket, or over a single shot cartridge Fire arm.

Lefty Dude

Very nice, indeed.

Lefty Dude

When I had my Remington 600 Mohawk 223, my accuracy and hunting load was; RP cases Federal 205M primer Nosler 60 gr. BTS 26 gr. W 748 powder Max. OAL, 2.350", with the above bullet. This was my Javalina hunting load. I shot a pig at 350 yards with this round, in a sitting position. This load sh...

Lefty Dude

I like it, you did a very nice retro to the piece.

Lefty Dude

Prayer's up !

Lefty Dude

If you can get a Bore scope, check out the bore. Also you might lap the bore. my Friend had a Savage that was a poor grouper. After much aggravation he found out the barrel had a slight bulge in the rifling, mid way in the barrel. He sent it back to Savage and they installed a new barrel on the piec...

Lefty Dude

Here in Arizona, if you get four years out of a Battery you are doing good. My best have been AC Delco. Worst; anything Johnson Controls makes, Sears included. Have not tried an Optima. Our Summer time heat is a killer on batteries. Weather Guessers are predicting 120 degrees next week here in the P...

Lefty Dude

Your black powder frame is a sought after piece. Does it have a beveled cylinder ? meaning the front of the cylinder is beveled and not straight cut. I would say you could get $1300.00 for it any day of the week. If you do not need the money, just sit back and watch your investment grow. I bought a ...

I have bought the last Microsoft based machine, an HP laptop with Windows 10. My other devices are all Apple, Smartphone & IPad. They Work and never give trouble. Not so with the HP and Windows 10. I have many times threatened to throw the thing in the closest Phoenix Canal. Pay the price, and g...

Lefty Dude

The fastest way is with a heat gun. heat it up holding with a pair of Welders Gloves, and watch the lube run out. A hair drier might work also. I just happen to have a Commercial/ Industrial heat gun that I use for such a task.

Lefty Dude

This is a two shot group after I replaced the sights and using Factory Remington 223 solids. The distance is 50 yards. This was the first two shots out of the cold barrel, and before I completed the final rear sight adjustment. After looking in the spotting scope and seeing one hole, I increased the...

Lefty Dude

My Mini-14 Keeper. factory iron sights. Bottom of target 25 yards, adjusting sights. Top target 50 yards. A week after this was taken I replaced both the front & rear sights. Front sight is now a Choate replacement. The rear is a Tec-sight replacement, similar to a M-14 rear sight. The two flier...

Lefty Dude

The problem with Black Powder is the after effect of the wad and unburned powder. You can start a fire. For a 44 cal. C&B revolver measure out about 150 gr. of shot. And substitute for the ball. vary your powder charge according to the distance you are covering. You should be able to get 30 gr. ...

Lefty Dude

Thank you for your Service.

Enjoy Arizona, I do. I have lived here all my life, almost. Came here when I was Nine years old, still about Nine Years old. So the Better Half tells me some days.

Lefty Dude

Some had feeding issues with that stamped metal lifter, IIRC.

Some time back, IIRC a few on this form were looking for 25-35 Winchester Brass. I use this Brass to make Cowboy Screw Drivers. I had been using the Winchester 25-35 brass and buying in 1000 lots from Graf & Sons. I had 2000 on back order for over 2 years. In January, Graf's called and cancelled...

Lefty Dude

Just to let you know, If that ammo in the butt stock holder is Hornady. The brass will be short and non standard length, as to Winchester, Starline or Remington. If you reload and mix your brass you will soon find out as I did. IIRC; it is approx. 1/10" short. It was a few years ago, maybe they...

Lefty Dude

I might have a few left. I sold my 141/30, and most of the brass. I'll check tomorrow and report back.

Can we ship loaded ammo in the Mail, USPS ?

Lefty Dude

I carried one just like that when I was Air Crewman in the Navy. I brought mine home from Guam in 1960, when I was Discharged. A few years later, I snapped the main blade in half. I see them in the catalog, I guess I'll have to buy one. Mine was stamped USN. This one most likely is stamped, "Ma...

I have a Great Nephew who live in Idaho, he works as a loader for one of the Mfgr's there. He buys all the Blems & seconds he can get. Say's that when they do an inspection for test, etc. they do not release the test batch back in to the main stock batch. They call them seconds and sell them at ...

Lefty Dude

The Winchester 22 mag Dynapoints are a 45 gr. lead head. They are not jacketed as the Winchester Super X Mags, but are much more accurate. Walmart will have them from time to time, when they do I buy all I can. I thought they shot real dirty, left lots of unburnt powder in my 4 5/8 SS.... I also ha...

Lefty Dude

$600.00, in my humble opinion

Lefty Dude

As you have noticed, the Drool rag is out. Not many 94's wear two triggers.

Lefty Dude

The Winchester 22 mag Dynapoints are a 45 gr. lead head. They are not jacketed as the Winchester Super X Mags, but are much more accurate.

Walmart will have them from time to time, when they do I buy all I can.

Lefty Dude

Enjoy, they can be very accurate with the 22 mag cylinder and Winchester 22 mag dyna-points.

Lefty Dude

IIRC; Delaware North is a front for the Buffalo NY Mob. A Mafia out fit.

Y'all be careful here, this is a very powerful Group. My bet is the Feds loose and the Mob wins.

They were founded in 1915 in Buffalo, NY. What's that tell you ? One of the largest privately held Corporations in the US.

Lefty Dude

You know Griff, after he shoots Black he will be a convert to the Holy propellant.

Lefty Dude

I have the Duke model X-draw for my 5 1/2" Colt Cimarron clone 45. The Holster is lined, and holds it shape well. Mine is also by El paso Saddlery. Not the slim-jim but is very functional.

Lefty Dude

My go-to powders for reduced lead loads in the 30WCF are SR4759, 5744 and Alliant RL 7. Also for the 30 US / AKA 30-40 Krag, 30-06 & 8mm Mauser.

Lefty Dude

You will appreciate Nate's metal followers. I bought one and pitched that yellow plastic thing.

Lefty Dude

My favorite Lever in the Safe is my Rossi 92/44 mag 2006 model. If I were limited to only one Rifle it would be the 92/44 Rossi. This barrel slugs at .429", and is a tack driver at 100 yards. With a 240 gr. Nosler JHP, and Winchester 296 powder, this is a very deadly combination. The barrel sig...

Lefty Dude

Even the Krag Springfield has a single shot cut-off on the magazine.

Lefty Dude

There are better powders for 30-06 lead loads. I have use SR4759. A5744, & RL7 with great success. SR4759 being the preference.

Lefty Dude

Always wanted a Marlin 39 Mountie, finally got my dream piece several Years ago. I found a very nice Marlin 97 made in 1905, much better than the 39 I had in mind Years ago.

Lefty Dude

When I was loading my 92 Rossi 44WCF using Unique I found the 240 gr. cast bullet was most accurate by using a double crimp. I first used the roll crimp die of the RCBS Cowboy die, then used the LFCD for a final double crimp. My Son won several contests and pot shoots with this load, at 200 yards of...

Lefty Dude

When I had my 13-4 it was the most accurate Smith I ever owned. When I first got the piece, with .357" jacketed rounds it had a vicious recoil. I opened the forcing cone to 11 degrees, it had a very tight cone, if not at all. Then I slugged the bore and found it to be .3545". I started sho...
