This year New Mexico deadline was March 19 for draw tags. I don't know why the NMG&F felt the need to move it from mid April, but they did. It is possible to buy a land owner elk tag but they are expensive. 21A, 16B and some others are good. 13 & 17 also but they are muzzle loader hunts. All...

I don't have a channel, I had account name of "WildBills44", where I kept track of music, guns & stuff.
Now that google stepped in it just wants email addies and doesn't recognize the old account or name. But a search shows it was there.

^ I wonder if Mikhael Kalishnikov saw that version before he checked out?

They've been out for over 2 years now. I haven't come across much on them. One fellow on these forums mentioned he has one but hasn't shot it much. Hopefully he'll comment. Apparently, there must not be much bolt thrust on that cartridge. :D ----6 Bell out the front of the chamber and there won't b...

That is neat. Your very lucky. I think that Federal value pack is the best ammo for the money, less FTF, most accurate. I bench tested it against most of the other brands using 5 guns including one handgun.

They have been out and on Ubertis website for over a year. I'm surprised there hasn't been any write up/experience about them on the www.

Comparing the photo to my Colt SAA the cylinder and frame area look the same.
So my SWAG says the cylinder is stock diameter.

I think other parts would fail, like the action, hand, bolt, without some beefing up.

There is all kinds of things to like there. How to's on gunsmithing, all kinds of music, all kinds of guns, history, horses, hunting, aviation, just about anything in the world.

How come I can no longer sign in with my old user name? :?: Last week I could. Now it asks for email and I cannot access my old user name account. The page for sign in reads: "One account. All of Google. Sign in to continue to YouTube" When I follow those directions it comes up like a new ...

I agree. I settled on 7 1/2 to 8 grains Unique long ago. Lymans 45th edition shows a maximum load of 9.7 grains Unique for a 205 grain cast. I have found excellent accuracy and velocity consistency with 13 1/2 grains of IMR SR 4759, but that powder has just been discontinued by Hodgdon. Works great ...

I looked into it awhile back and Vortex is still a China made scope, although it is supposed to be QC/step up above others made there. I've been asking myself these questions. I'd like to see them torn down and what makes them tick. What exactly makes a better scope on the inside. Lens coatings have...

Here's the link to it; www.uberti.com/1873-rifle-and-carbine Apparently a toggle link action is safe and doable in 44 magnum. I know EuroArms was importing them to the US in the late 1970's. But I have never seen one. Has anyone had a chance to shoot or examine one of these new Uberti 1873 Wincheste...

Would the current/new COLT SAA frames handle 44 magnum?
What about the cylinders, if they were unfluted?

9 grains of Unique and 200 grain bullet 44 Special in mine is about all I care to handle.

Colt SAA and then S&W Model 29 44 magnum.
Probably the most copied revolver in the world is the Colt SAA, then the 1911, then Browning Hi-Power?.

That is neat.
Reminds me of the EuroArms 1873 Winchester Italian copies that were imported in the late 1970's chambered for 44 magnum.
Now I read that Uberti is making them again in a blued steel 44 magnum. No color case offering in the 44 magnums.

Maybe there was a primer stuck/left over in the hammer from a previous job.
One time a primer found it's way into my lead pot and made a substantial pop and a big mess.

I don't have a Trapper , but I like them. We have a standard SRC Puma. I fitted a George Washington quarter where the puma use to be. It is a great shooter. Took it out late today and shot some steel at 25 to 100 yards. The 2nd notch up keeps me on a 6" swinger at 50 yards and also at 100 yards...

Thanks, I'll print this out and add it to my note book.

I looked in CP for settings and could not find "settings", or a way to change.
Just make mine anyway that is best for your system.

It could be the blue medium strength or Red high strength Lok-Tite. They melt at different temperatures. A BIC lighter with flame on the thin metal gas tube threads area might do the trick. Shuster told me to use the Red, I didn't. I use the Blue because I want to be able to get it out easier then t...

That is a sobering and documenting photo, how people could do that and then think enough of it to allow themselves being photographed. We have to be ever vigilant because those evil people do exist and walk among us.

I took a look in George Madis WINCHESTER BOOK there are lots of 1886's with shotgun butt plates. Carbines with carbine butt plates, shotgun or rifle butt plates. It does look like even back then buyers were ordering shotgun butt plates. Rifle forend caps on non-full length magazines carbines too. Pa...

I'd like to take advantage of the knowledge on this forum in filling out my ballot. I do not know all of the people on it, (who could). I've read elsewhere that it takes away from your vote to vote for all 25, confusing info out there. Any recommendations of candidates that will not compromise our R...

I have never loaded for it either. But I have been thinking about starting. Maybe save the Unique for other cartridges. If you can get accuracy from Red Dot use it first. My old 45th Edition Lyman manual shows Red Dot starting load at 3.5 grains.

Do you think the primer fizzled/puffed and you couldn't hear it because of hearing protection?

It looks like the powder got the graphite/coating burned off it, kind of like un-burned kernels of 2400 will do normally.

That is wonderful. I'll bet it shoots good too.

"Got my phone and a pen", another 3 1/2 years. How many more "bumps in the road" and who will the bumps be?

One of my pet peeves is Wayne Lapierre annual salary of $750,000. He's been at it to long. I think that is a huge waste of precious membership dollars that could be better spent.

I have my ballot in front of me and am looking at who to vote for. It's due April 6.
Todd Rathner I know for over 20 years. He has been instrumental in getting Constitutional Carry in Arizona.
R.Lee Ermy is a big name, I think he would be good.

New here but not to C&B revolvers. I like 3F black powder and load for accuracy, and wherever that gets me in FPS is fine. You can shoot them loose. I had a very accurate brass frame 36 with 20 grains black, but it got undependable and now I have steel frames. My friend and I cut the forcing con...
