    Cleaning the mag tube of a Winchester 73 really needed?

    No I am shooting store bought FMJ. Thanks for the info. I want to take the plates off soon to clean it. Don't know if I need to, but better save than sorry, right? Have heard in other places that people just push it through the muzzle like in an ML. Makes sense since it is much more work...

    Cleaning the mag tube of a Winchester 73 really needed?

    Thank you all for your answers! It truly is. I love it! Do you only take the sideplates off to clean the innards or do you do a complete dissassembly. I am new to the Winchester 73.

    Cleaning the mag tube of a Winchester 73 really needed?

    I finally did it and bought myself a Miroku Winchester 73. It is a beautiful rifle that shoots very nice. I love it. I only shoot smokeless through it. I usually just clean by boresnake. For more extensive cleaning I plan to take off the side-plates to clean the insides and then use a rod +...

    Blackpowder vs Smokeless: Which is easier to clean

    Howdy! I hope I am in the correct category here: Today two of our club members have started a discussion that has not yet fully died down. It all started when one of the members (1) saw another member (2) shoot his percussion Hawken. 1: "Nice rifle. Such a shame it's such hard work." 2: "What...

    Colt Dragoon. Should I?

    I'm not located in the US, so sadly that will be impossible. Thanks! I will check out the pictures.

    Colt Dragoon. Should I?

    One question I completely forgot to ask: Cap sucking. Is it the same problem here as with all the other open-top cap and ball revolvers? Sadly, most members of our shooting range shoot Remington New Army Revolvers (they also look super nice, gotta admit), so I don't know if the current Uberti...

    Colt Dragoon. Should I?

    Since I am not located in the U.S., this will sadly not be an option.

    Colt Dragoon. Should I?

    That Uberti hasn't fixed the arbor problem sucks. But oh well. What can you do if they have it on all models. There are fixes for it (even those that work for the not-as-mechanically inclined). I like the Uberti Dragoon because of it's size and look. It looks better to me than a Walker and is...

    Colt Dragoon. Should I?

    Looks awesome! You've made those yourself? My first thought was getting a Pietta Lemat. They are super cool also. The Dragoon however is a lot cheaper.

    Colt Dragoon. Should I?

    Does Uberti still have the arbor problems on all of their revolvers or is it just on the Walker, Dragoon and Navy?

    Colt Dragoon. Should I?

    Thinking about getting myself a Colt Dragoon made by Uberti. I just like the overall look a lot. Want to use it for range fun and matches. Is it too heavy for 1 handed shooting? Is carrying it in a holster possible or will it pull my pants down? Anything I gotta look out for that might be a...

    Miroku Winchester 1873 in .357Mag: The usual question

    Hi there! I know this question has probably been done to death, but I have never seen a conclusive answer to it. Miroku (and Uberti) both make their 1873 Winchester in .357Mag. I have seen people claim that the toggle link is too weak to take it and that you should stick with .38 special. Other...
