Frontier Iron / Re: Cimarron's new American model!
« Last post by mtmarfield on Today at 09:10:51 PM »
      Greetings!

   Well! At the ten yard range, it likes my Lyman #429383 ( 10 BHN ) over 4.3gr Hercules 'Unique'. It also favors my new NOE #432-246-WC over the same powder charge; a very nice mould! Later, I'll try my also new Old West 'Anderton' mould, and Lyman #429348 & #429106.
   U.S.M.R.: all that I see on the back of the Cylinder are: A.Uberti Logo; Chambering ( ".44 Colt" ); SN#; and "IT 2021". Could it be that the "IT2021" is a new style Date Code...?

              Thanks Mucho!

                      M.T.M.

So, pulled out my 45 ACP die set and used the sizer on the C45S Brass. The C45S Brass drops right into the 45 ACP Cylinder.
The new issue is that the C45S Brass rim is .060" thick and the 45 ACP Brass rim is .049" thick so now a full load of C45S Brass
in the 45 ACP Cylinder causes the Cylinder to bind up and not operate correctly.

Back to using the 45 ACP Cylinder with 45 ACP Brass to build and test sub 14,000 C.U.P. loads before trying them in C45S Brass
using them in my 45 Colt Cylinder.

I'll pull out my dies and check.

I doubt it; it should be easier to remove, if anything.  The .45 ACP sizing die might size the brass just a bit smaller than a .45 Colt die would, to better fit the .45 ACP chambers.  No promises, of course.

I've handled a lot of the Cimarron '92's.  They're made by Chiappa.  You are right, no safeties.  They seem real smooth when empty, but when cycling ammo not so much, meaning they could use some smoothing and spring work like other '92's.  Very nice fit and finish, though.

It has been a while, but Chiappa used to put a thin steel rod (plug) in the magazine, attached to the end cap, to limit them to 6 rounds.  Someone at Cimarron (me, at one point) would remove the magazine cap and cut off that rod.  Sometimes they would ship a rifle that still had the rod.  If by any chance you can only load 6, that's the deal and easy to fix.

I haven't owned a motorcycle in some years but plan to get another, and I'd like to get one of the Chiappa take-down '92's to carry to matches.  :)

Well....
I may wind up not getting a Rossi after all.

I just found a decent price for the Cimarron 1892, and it has an octagon barrel....
Which is what I was actually looking for all along.

Its hard to find many pics of the gun online, but from what I see so far, its a true copy of the Winchester.
No weird ass extra safeties that I can find anywhere on it.

Anyone have any experience with these?

AND you could sell a socket to help put them in and take them out.

Have not tried that, but would that cause an issue of after the round has been fired
having the brass be a bit tight to remove ???
