Sounds like you need to trim all your brass to fit the Browning, causing a head-space problem when the rim won't seat against the breech face properly. In this case better to be short then to long. Trim them all the same.

I could use the old 44-40 barrel if you want to sell it?

I take it both are WINCHESTER? The octagon 44 magnum; Is that a Winchester barrel address marked barrel? Numrich Arms was selling both their label and Winchester barrels in 44 magnum for the 1892 Winchester, but I never got any of them to shoot accurately, it was terrible. But those were round saddl...

Nitroglycerin. Works good to get your 45 started, or your heart, keep a bottle in your pocket or pack.

I have several 19th century Winchester '73's and other makes. They never see black powder. Use cast bullets and the smokeless loads that are in some manuals listed for the old guns and you will get accuracy that cannot be found from factory ammo. Of course you should strip down and inspect the the r...

That is some beautiful mountain lake. I love horse cavalry too. The last man to order and lead a successful US horse cavalry charge was Lt. Ed Ramsey against the Japanese at a bridge crossing a river in the Philippines in early 1942. He never surrendered and led the resistance till MacArthur came ba...

Yes it is, open top, 28" round barrel, no cartridge marking as the early ones were all 45-75.

I also have a Centennial Winchester. Serial number in the 200 range. My photo won't post here, to big I guess.

I have one like your standard barrel 24", also 19th century made. I think that heavy barrel is rare, never seen one only read of them in George Madis WINCHESTER book. I use to use it quite a bit. I should get it back out, it always works. As I recall the groove diameter is .431". I never h...

There was a time when you were supposed to ride a bicycle on the sidewalk or shoulder facing traffic, so you could see the cars coming, not try to be one of them.

I haven't had those bad experiences with my old Leatherman Super Tool. Like I said earlier I've worn out about 4 leather cases. I also wore out the hinges on a SOG equivalent tool. Once I skinned a whole bull elk with it, using the 2 blades and the saw. Have also used it to cut a crutch when I snapp...

No. The X was the curiosity to me and I never saw that before. Seller writes it up like it's part of the model.

Our 19th century house use to be heated with 9 wood stoves. Firewood wood was cut and split with axes. I am thankful for a chainsaw, it is enough work to cut and split 10 cords a year. I like electricity too because a electric fan spreads the heat around real nice. Not to mention the efficiency of a...

Very sorry for both of you.
A few years ago my wife and I went through this and had to send our friend along ahead of us. The hardest thing I ever had to do and I have been in some tough spots. Daisey looks wonderful enjoy your time with her.

The Super Leatherman. It has 2 blades, long ago I filed past the serrated stuff, I like smooth blades. It's on my belt 24/7 365 days a year. I'm on the 4th or 5th sheath. I have many fixed blades but this one is always with me.

I think it could be as high as 75%. It depends on how the animal was treated from birth all the way up, with the right trainer like Griff said.

I didn't know a 22 case could be double charged. Never pulled one apart to look. I also never saw this style box of Winchester, as I have not seen much in the way of 22LR ammo on any store shelves for the past 16 months. Centennial, it's out there. If nothing else, go to http://www.gunbot.net and s...

I'd say not all 22 LR firearms are created equally. As to the damage a single 22 can do; I have a 1895 Marlin rifle which is a very good sought after rifle. The chamber was worn and the highly recommended gunsmith and TJ liner and a new breech block was all sent to this guy. After 3 or 4 trips cross...

I don't know how some can shoot those 325 grain/1100 FPS loads from a 37 ounce gun. I had to change grips from stag to smooth walnut just so the 200 grain at 950 FPS wouldn't eat up my hands(hate carry gloves around).

When I was just starting out, break time at work, the old timers (old to me then, not so old now, they were working hard) would be swapping war stories.

^ I think that is asking to much for a Colt SAA frame or clones of them. 900 to 1000 FPS MV is about it. Then move on to Ruger Blackhawks or other comparable beefed up revolvers.

I use to kid my friends about lever-less guns. If it didn't have a lever and walnut there was something wrong with it, it was defective, and I was not interested. I've come around a little bit.

I've been wondering since the shortage was only 6 months old and no sign of easing up; what are the firearms makers going to do?
I'd like to be a fly on the wall at a Ruger/Marlin board meeting.

The see-through Weaver scope mounts have been on the rifle and held up (so far) since 1974 in all kinds of use. They're a on a Savage 99 A 308 , and it was all put together with those mounts and a Weaver K3 in 1974 for $145 new out the door. The K3 quit holding zero long ago and I worried that I had...

Where the cylinder bolt stop notches are on a 45 Colt type cylinder, they're extremely thin.
Ruger offsets their cylinder stop/bolt notches to a thicker area of steel.
I'll echo what Malamute said for the rest.

Wow. That is not good. I could see that scope whacking me in the left eye too. I think I will stick with what is on it. It works and I'm use to it. Thanks for all the good replies.

I acquired a set a Weaver PIVOT Scope Mounts for a Savage 99. I like them because they mount low and one can still use the iron sights.
