Steer completely away from the Winchesters. They can't be re-regulated and are notorious for their poor factory regulation. The Japanese "manufacture" They don't "craft". The Brownings are Belgian guns and an embarrassment, IMO. LOL...the Blasers also have the look and feel of a jackhammer...

I resemble that remark. 5 in a sixshooter by old habits. 🧙‍♂️

What he said. ;)

A keepsake in my library:

THAT was the 1st and Only Contender I ever fired. It was more than enough, and I'm not a recoilpuzzy. o_O How does a 30-30 compare? Also, I'm happy to see TC getting a transfusion and revived.

Got that right, DM! They didn't make them easy to correct, either. Lost are the old German masters who spent hours regulating a combination gun like your grand Kreighoff. I believe yours is from the mid 1930's, during the pinnacle of the quality combination guns. The steels were more modern...

Here's what the 9.3X72R 95gr Makarov bullet load looks like:

I am anxious to see the gun. :D

I have done what you're planning and have a lot of experience with the 9.3X72R. I have used 357 dies to load pistol bullets, but being undersized, accuracy was mediocre at best. I don't know whether you'll be able to load .366 bullets that way, however. The correct bore size for the X72R is...

I can help you with that. Over many years I've owned about a dozen combo guns in the old gamekeeper round. ;)

I've owned some, and it's frustrating. I wanted to hunt with them, but I couldn't afford to, just in case I did to them like what I did to my new German Wby MK V the first time I hunted with it in 1969. I slipped on a grassy patch of snow as I was taking my last step up onto a butte, sat down on...

Love the Western Field!! I still use my 16ga J. C. Higgins bolt scattergun. Uncommon guns are fun.

My second gun to arrive yesterday is a very garden variety older Savage 219 with 410, 16ga, and 12ga barrels. The 12ga was cut to 20", nice job. I'm going to have the 12ga threaded to accept Winchokes. My first shotgun was a 220 20ga back when I was 8. I love these somewhat crude guns and hunt...

My 1980's Win XTR FW 308 with Loopy 2.5-8 on top came yesterday. I love these rifles and the fine finish they exhibit! I once had two of these in 270, but I gave one to a good friend who could never afford one and the other to my step-son, who is the best son a man could have. Simpson had it at...

People had better look beyond what this list purports. In my State, Nevada, private sales of firearms MUST be logged and undergo background checks, except for transfers to close family members and step-children, uncles and aunts. Refer and scroll up to NRS 202.2548 and NRS 202.25747. The list...

Unfortunately, this will probably end up in a mansion as an adornment. Purdeys are amazing guns that deserve a hunter with good dogs in a field full of upland game.

LW, that's why I bought a gun that now would break my bank. I wanted it, but...BUT I have practical uses for my combo guns and another reason I buy them other than pride of ownership. I love to hunt grouse and wild chukar, and our deer season runs concurrently with the bird seasons. It's why I...

It leaves any anti-gun decision in her court open to reversal. What an idiot! NY has lost it's collective mind.

It does, and thank you. :thumbup:

I paid $175.00 for mine years ago, and I've had several other 1911's. They went down the road, and the Norinco is still here, same scenario. ;)
