    Post pics of holsters you have made.

    My first holster/belt - it was a bit ambitious. Holster is for a BFR .45-70 10-inch. Problem is, whenever the rig is fully loaded, you can't keep your pants up. BTW rifle is Marlin .45-70 Cowboy.

    Brand ownership poll

    In addition to those checked, I also own 2 Magnum Research (Kahr owned) BFRs.

    New from Glock the 30s

    Sounds like that new model incorporates some of the features that were desired when the 45gap came out. Wonder if Glock is sneaking away from 45gap.

    new colt pepperbox

    To me it looks like a solution looking for a problem. Six shots is six shots - whether you shoot them through six barrels or shoot 'em all through the same barrel.

    First Outing with Walker

    Shot my Walker(Uberti) today for the first time. I've had it for a year or two but haven't shot it. Matter of fact, I've never loaded and shot C&B at all. But today was the day and what a hoot. I think I'm hooked. This behemoth is going to get a lot of exercise. Loaded with 45g Goex FFFg...

    1858 Remington - which one?

    That surprised me as well. I would expect the Uberti to sell for more than the Pietta.

    1858 Remington - which one?

    straight-shooter, thanks for the link. Unfortunately I live in Tennessee so I'd have to pay the 9.75% sales tax which makes it close to the Midway price if I exercise the "Buy Now" option. I will watch it though. Maybe I can get it at a lower price than the "Buy Now".

    1858 Remington - which one?

    I've been wanting a Remington 1858 and MidwayUSA has 2 different ones, but they're the same. Of the ones I'm considering both are blue steel, 8" octagonal barrel, .44 caliber, and brass trigger guard. One is made by Uberti and priced at $319.99. The other is made by Pietta and priced at...

    old vaquero?

    Assuming it's a gun you just acquired, the first thing I would do is see how it shoots. No use fixing something if it ain't broke.

    Gun Scrubber, Engine Degreaser and Carb. Cleaner all the same?

    WD-40 used to use propane as a propellant and yes, it was flamable. It's my understanding, although I haven't tried it, that the propellant was changed to a non-flammable.

    Protecting my dies

    To go a step further, store them in a refrigerator or freezer. They're both natural de-humidifiers.

    Am I missing something. When one of my guns shoots high, I lower the rear, not raise it.

    rossi m92

    I've had a Ruger Blackhawk .357 since 1969 and the only 38's that have been shot through it were a box of 50 that were given to me. I reload and just load the 357's down if I want light loads. I just don't want to put up with that chamber ring that 38's create in a 357 chamber. Steve is...

    I'm thinking that you shortened the ejector spring, but not lightened it. It may be that you need just a lighter one.

    rossi m92

    Yep, same here. Assemblying a 92 action is not for the faint of heart or impatient. Springs, springs, and more springs.

    rossi m92

    I replaced the ejector spring, ground some others, and installed a 19 lb. Ruger Vaquero mainspring.

    The springs are good. I've put them in 2 Rossi's and getting ready to do a third. If the stiffness feels like spring pressure, the ejector spring is probably the problem. If it feels like something is rubbing, check the roll pins that go through the side of the bolt. If they have worked...

    Polishing an action

    Seabee, If you're real serious about slicking up that gun, go to www.stevesgunz.com and order his DVD. It's a step-by-step dis-assembly/assembly guide, and also demonstrates where and how to fine tune the parts. I did and I'm on my third Rossi. Without it, I 'm not sure I would have gotten...

    Holster for 10 1/2" Super Blackhawk

    I had the same problem except the gun I was needing a holster for was a BFR .45-70 with 10" barrel. Although my experience and skill in leatherwork is poor, I ended up making one myself. If you were to choose to make your own, another option is a holster like Clint Eastwood, as Josey Wales...

    New Shooter to the 44 mag

    I Googled it and got various answers for the question "How fast can a Grizzley run?" The answers ranged from a low of about 45 to a high of 80 feet PER SECOND (calculated from MPH). That's faster than most people realize. At 1.78 seconds and 20 feet away, he will have eaten you and be picking...
