yeah, that was what I was asking. The reason is, after purchasing the weapon, the store owner seriously said that I should not shoot a .38 sp +P round... he would not recommend it. Therefore the question. Did not know the ballistics figured you guys would know. He was limited on ammo that...

Locally I can find .38 +P every where, but I am having a time finding .38 sp for plinking. I am cautious about +p ammo. But I was considering shooting it in a .357 mag Uberti single action. What do you guys think? Should there be anything to worry about? PS... I am trying to keep the cost...

My son has gotten into CAS. He saved up and bought a Uberti mod 1873 Cattleman, which is a pretty sweet little gun. We have smooth the action and the gun shoots perfect for me. I can bust shooting clays at 30 yrds. dead on. I am leveling the gun out with a full bead. The problem lies...

Traditions Kit that I've had for 20 years.

Thanks Guys for the compliments! If the weather holds out, she will be going to the range Saturday. I will be able to tell you if it is a shooter or not. Again Thanks!

Here are some close up of the barrel... wished the pics would do the barrel better justice. But I can tell you I am very satisfied! Oh, by the way... when browning a barrel, do follow the instructions and have ample ventilation; don't take much of that stuff to get down on bad air!

Guys... thanks for all of the advise in previous thread: http://www.thehighroad.org/showthread.php?t=583480 I have completed the thing finally. Here are the pics. I am a little disappointed in the pics, they don't do the gun justice. The stock's finish is red stain under BLO. The pics...

Thanks Cowboy2, As you can tell, I am a newbie at this. After reading your post I made a trip down to Lowe's (the only choice we have here). I called my buddy up to make sure about the blo after reading the warnings on the front of the can. But purchased all that I would need for the project...

Thanks guys... think I am going to try Cowboy2's instructions. From what I can tell, it is as close to the color that I am wanting to go for. The wood is ash. A good friend of mine who does wood work confirmed it earlier today. I suspect that they used what wood they got the cheapest to put...

Thanks! that is exactly what I was thinking. I may go with cherry. I like the look. I have looked at several pictures on the web.

Guys I am redoing a kit that I got back in the early 90's. I slapped it together back then. But with age I wanted to go back a correct my mistakes. I have all of the brass and wood fitting right now. The only problem now is I don't really know what color to stain it, and if I should use a...

Crooked Strip you will the satisfied with the Heritage... Bought my son one for his first pistol this past Christmas. He loves shooting the thing. He shot at least 300 rounds through it this past Saturday. He is pretty accurate with it also. He keeps it clean and has proved to me that he was...

thanks Arcticap! I will make a call tomorrow.

Hey guys, KyRock. As you can guess I am from Kentucky. Never really been heavy into guns. Rather I have been into Bows. I have always have a some shotguns, and a .22 marlin lr that I've had since a youth. A couple years ago, my youngest son wanted a rifle. I ended up getting him a Rossi 20...

I am considering a Desert Eagle .50 for protection in the woods. We only have black bears here, but one day would like to hunt out west. I know that Griz are not as friendly as the black bears around here. Found this site: http://www.remtek.com/arms/imi/desert/index.htm Just interested in...
