Frontier Iron / Re: Something Wonderful My Way Cometh....
« Last post by Tuolumne Lawman on Today at 02:56:12 PM »
Absolutely wonderful revolvers!  Shot pretty much dead on with 246 grain .44 Russian factory duplication loads (5.3 grains of Unique).  Never dropped a shot.  Next is the annual match at Railroad Flat in the end of May.  Thats a 12 stage match with side matches.  That will wring them out thoroughly for part two of the article.

Decided to do a new series on my channel called Sixgun Spotlight.
Figured I would do the Remington 1875 in the first installment.

Cas City Historical Society / Re: Anyone have extensive use of a carbine on horseback?
« Last post by matt45 on Today at 09:25:48 AM »
I've never used the saddle ring on the different carbines, and I've never seen them used on actual carrying vis-a-viz riding and hunting- not to say other folks don't have different experience.  I always dismounted if I was going to take a rifle shot, so the shorter barrels could be a little handier drawing out of the scabbard, but the best luck I had was with either my old 1894 (26" barrel) or my model 71 with the 24" barrel.  I've taken one or two shots with a pistol off a horse, but the ensuing rodeo is not worth the fuss.  Now, my experience may be far different from most folks that have a lot more experience than I do ;)

Shotguns / Re: Anyone have any problems with Brass shells in 87 ?
« Last post by Cap'n Redneck on Today at 05:46:11 AM »
The MagTech 2-7/16" shells should duplicate the 2,5" shells that the 1887 was constructed for pretty closely.
Back in the day the 2,5" all-brass shells would have been roll crimped too.

I have an early-production Norinco 1887 chambered in 12/70.  I use un-cut, un-crimped MagTech all-brass shells, but do not load them from the magazine; I put one in the chamber and one down on the cartridge lift.  I have done some smoothing of rough edges inside the receiver / chamber area, and this set-up has served me well for years in CAS-mainmatch.

I will have to do some more experimenting with paper or plastic shells in order to make it feed six shells from the magazine for Wild Bunch.

Slim, we'll be shooting at either AR500 steel or paper. Anything short of AP will be o.k.

I don't own an '87 but you might mention how long are the shells?  Are they Magtechs?

Here's hoping someone will record the "goings on" for posterity and those attending vicariously.
Looking forward to the photo's :)
I'll see what I can do.

Shoot WB simultaneously with your monthly matches a couple times a year. Everyone shoots the same targets only WB shooters shoot twice as much. And have twice the fun. ‘’Give’em hell ,Pike!’’
