Now they need to offer it in the "Hunter" configuration.....PERFECT! I have a Freedom Arms and a Rossi in the 454. Both really get your attention when you pull the trigger! The Freedom Arms has taken a nice Black Bear and a Whitetail buck. Both one shot and down! http://images20.fotki.com/...

So far I've only added about 160 pounds. The trailer has a capacity of 1850 pounds. But I increased that by changing to 15" E rated tires and wheels and installed brakes. The axle is rated at 4000 pounds and I'll never be close to that. Normal cargo will be a 600 pound motorcycle, about 100 pou...

Old Iron...I hadn't thought about using the trailer as a cooler. But now that it is insulated and will have AC, I bet it would do a good job!

If it doesn't need to be a 1873, there are current Winchester 1892 take downs in 38-40 (Japan) available.

I decided to check the black powder levels in some .38-40 cases I have. Note the difference in the densities between Goex and Swiss.

Every once in a while you need to give the top of the stopper a couple turns with the screw driver to clear off any gunk on the seal between the stopper and spout.
