    Winchester 1873 in .44-40 ammo problem

    Cowhide Cliff: I got some Ultramax cowboy loads (smokeless), says on the midwayusa that " All Ultramax ammunition is loaded to SAAMI specs. Ultramax packages their Cowboy Action ammunition in historically authentic packaging and shoots well in vintage firearms. So what you're saying is that it...

    Winchester 1873 in .44-40 ammo problem

    Hey fellas thanks a lot for all your feedback, truly appreciate it. The main problem was indeed the extractor spring, i pried it up just a smidge and lubed it. Also cleaned the small cavity the extractor goes into, it has some crud in it as well. I've cycled some real ammo through it without...

    Winchester 1873 in .44-40 ammo problem

    Hey guys, I recently was gifted an original 1873 winchester in .44-40. I bought some snap caps along with a box of ultramax ammo in same caliber for it to cycle through and get a feel for it. Problem was, it seats the bullet just fine in the chamber, but upon pulling the level back down to...

    Just another ignoramus trying to make a buck without using their brain. When does this idiocy end.... And yes he is blocking people that question his design.

    THR Remington 1858 Club

    Dr How, Looks like a Howell conversion cylinder. And you can install them the same way as your original cylinder, no fitting required. And while on topic on this particular cylinder, when I cock my remmie all the way, the firing pin does not seem to be exactly centered when I look at it dead on...

    Give Me Liberty....(2)

    If I was one of those guys, I would be very paranoid about someone accidentally loading a ball in one of those, out of habit.

    BP Defense Gun Question

    Just realized what arcticap said, it probably is a pistol (which in my opinion fires even more reliably since the hammer usually strikes a lot harder than a revolver). I have a loaded Kentucky pistol as well sitting in the safe, I put these two super magnets on the side that I can barely even...

    BP Defense Gun Question

    Look David E, I'm just answering the guy's question with my own experience. Too bad it took you 3 caps to set yours off after only a week, you obviously did something different than I did. If he does not have access to a modern firearm for whatever reason, that's his business. I don't...

    BP Defense Gun Question

    Hey Ken, Don't mind some of the more cranky members here, they post too much for their own good. As for your question, I had stored a 'loaded' pietta 1860 (no percussion caps on it, just ball and powder, no wad, no wax on the nipples) 2 years ago in a small box with one of those moisture...

    Just picked up this 1860 signature box set

    It probably IS partly a Uberti, but I don't want to dig up this controversial issue, some people get a bit worked up over it ;) Anyway, very nice acquisition indeed! Glad you decided to let it breathe smoke and fire.

    The THR Walker Club

    Ha, yep it sure is. And probably the most used, beat up and maimed one in the world :o Took it to a gunsmith here in town yesterday to ask about putting in the original front blade sight. First thing he said is "Looks like a Colts Dragoon." I said it's a Walker, and he replies "yeah they have...

    Yep Knirrir that is indeed the sawed off part of the barrel. But, you gave me a good idea. I will line the inside and use it as my lever!

    Too Hot

    It's been unusually cool around here at the range I go to, just outside of the small town of Paradise, northern California. A cool 85-90* is very bearable compared to years before. We have a nice shade covered rifle and pistol range. Feel bad for all the other states that are supposed to be a...
