WOW! You can dodge bullets? Impressive! Are you the real Superman? You can tell us. We won’t tell. 😉 😄😆😆

I must say that I really like having that option. The tube feed makes for the safer unloading of the gun. It also is easier to load the tube than through the gate. The gate is great when at a range and you don’t want to be maneuvering your long gun to load the tube possibly sweeping others or...

@toivo Thanks for that link. A friend was looking for a bag like mine, but not exactly like mine. He wanted something less tactical looking. I will share this with him. @American_Fusilier I have a bag that I bought because I can carry it like a backpack on my motorcycle. It’s made by Savior...

I know what you mean. I think familiarity and even appreciation have a lot to do with the feel of a gun. When I started shooting CAS I bought a Winchester 94 .357. Everyone told me I needed something faster, like an 1866 or an 1873 or even a Marlin 1894. I bought a Marlin Cowboy Comp. Beautiful...

Ah, okay. The Henry carbine is 6.59 lbs The Rossi carbine is 93.50 Oz or 5.8 lbs I picked the steel Henry because the Rossi is steel. The Rossi is .8 lbs lighter or 12.8 ounces. I have a feeling the circumference of the Rossi receiver is a bit more svelte…trim.

One Pound, to be exact. Henry Big Boy steel .45 Colt with 20” Bbl - 7 lb Rossi 92 .45 Colt .45 Colt with 20” Bbl - 5.96 lb https://www.henryusa.com/rifles/big-boy-steel-rifle-carbine/ https://rossiusa.com/rifles/lever-action-rifles/371-r92-brazilian-hardwood-45-colt-polished-black-oxide-20-in

My first experience with having a PCC was in SASS and Cowboy Action Shooting. It made immediate sense to me. I am not going to add much to this thread as most of what I would has already been said. No sense in parroting others at this point. I have 3 PCCs and handguns to go with them should I...

Now that you mention it, the stock is a little slick. It has two textured areas on each side of the gun at the grip and forend. I have been considering adding some rubber Talon Grip material in these two locations.

I also forgot to mention that Winchester 94s can be COL sensitive. My .357 does not like .38 Spl.

One thing you need to be aware of if you get a .44 Magnum lever gun. It may not run or feed .44 Special rounds. If the rollmark doesn’t say “.44 Mag / .44 Special, no matter what the salesman says it may not reliably feed .44 Special. I prefer .45 Colt. Main reason being I don’t own a .44...

@Mark_Mark I think you’re gonna love it. Please give us a range report once you get it and shoot it.

That’s a great photo. :thumbup: I recall my buddy saying the same thing about BP in his Henry. He also installed a small umbrella on his gun cart for shading his guns, especially the Henry.

This ^^^^ is what I would do. If they’re all the same length you shouldn’t get any surprises later in the reloading process and when shooting it removes one variable if something isn’t right.

There were carbines long before AR-15s (responding to the nice lady’s article) I believe the first was the Spencer carbine. Anyway, here are my favorite “carbines”. Ruger PC Carbine Winchester 94AE 30-30 carbine I am not really sure if this is a carbine but it does have a 16” barrel...

It’s a shame her parents named her that… About 20 years ago a friend of mine let me shoot his Henry 1860 for a few stages in a SASS match. It was in the 90’s but not humid. The first stage I fired with it the rifle was resting on a table in the sun. The stage called for 6+ shotgun then 10 shots...
