Spencer Shooting Society / Re: Photos Posted of my Cimarron carbine

The Accurate Mold that 'Tom' made for me was a custom I asked for. It is now of course a catalog item. The number is....45-240E and I set the OAL to 1.585-1.590" with this bullet.
I have not got to shoot my carbine yet with this bullet but I did load 7 dummy rounds with this bullet. I ran those 7 rds. thru the carbine 5 times. I ran them thru working the action quickly, I ran them thru working the action less vigorously, I ran them thru hesitating at the bottom of the lever stroke and at the top to start a new cycle, I also ran them through working the action slowly. The 5th run thru I had one rd. that I had to just barely jiggle the lever and it fed. All other rds. on each run through fed as slick and smooth as my 1860 Uberti Henry By that run thru the bullet noses had been beat up quite a bit. I was so pleased with it that I had a big grin! Now........as long as it feeds that well with live firing I will be one happy camper !

Yes, it is beautiful for sure. I had reservations about sending it back for repairs as to not getting the same carbine or wood back.
Thank you........Macon

Thanks to you both for your advise.  Would you use slightly heavier leather for the belt?

BROW / Revolvers with Buffalo rifles

What revolver do you like with your rifles? I know that times were hard. Cap and ball revolvers were plentiful and cheap. I like my Cimarron .44 American with my Sharps, Remingtons, and Trap Doors. Conversions were available. You couldn’t get a SAA until 74. Your thoughts.

Morning y'all.
Coffee and tea are ready.

Some videos are uploaded. More are currently uploading. Slow Internet connection.  ::)

Why I wound up not needing it?

Because I got an excellent deal on a full length unfinished 1898 stock and handguard later on, and I am not building two rifles.

Need to find my camera and take pics..
But this is a finished replacement stock and unfinished forend wood I picked up for a Krag rifle and wound up not using.

Its cut off at the lower band, so should be easy enough to glue and pin the forend onto it for a full length stock.

I have an unfinished handguard cut for a 1905 model to go in the deal as well. (pretty sure its a 1905? its for the rear sight that has the windage swivel base, I believe.)

$200 and whatever the shipping turns out to be.

If theres interest, I'll get some pics up when I figure out where the camera wound up.

Okay, here's the easy way to eliminate the safety. Drive the pin out that holds the safety in, remove the three parts. Take a .25 ACP case and cut it down to about an 1/8"-3/16" and Blue Lock-tite it in place. If you can find a W-W stamped case it looks even better.

And be aware there is a detent ball and spring in there. I saved the spring but the ball went to parts unknown.
