Spencer Shooting Society / Marcot's Spencer Book on eBay

« Last post by Coal Creek Griff on Today at 06:17:03 PM »

I thought that I'd mention this in case anyone is interested. I am not the seller, I don't know the seller and I can't vouch for the seller (although they have a 100% positive eBay rating).

Just watched the pre release version- for my money (literally) the best internet deep dive show about firearms.

Uberti, Pietta and other SAA Clones / Re: 45 ACP Cylinder for my Uberti Dalton.

Ah Well

Before you go grinding away on a pile of C45S cases, I suggest you check your Head Space and End Shake. Your cylinder may well be the problem.

Optimum Head Space is .004 +/- .001 but is workable out to about .007 - .008. End Shake is acceptable at .001. Could be the simple expedient of sizing the Cylinder Bushing could ease Head Space enough for successful dual cartridge use.

You might be able to get away with removing less than .011, depending on how much more clearance is actually needed. Start small!

Glad you got them to chamber but too bad they didn’t work. You could always gently chuck the c45s brass into your drill press and remove .11 from the case head with some emery. Assuming that the primers are still below or flush after you were done. I have a RCMP New Service that is/was 45colt [barrel stamp] but someone installed a 45acp cylinder. Single 45acp rounds drop right in and fire along with c45s loads. One of my favorite NS revolvers.

Frontier Iron / Re: Cimarron's new American model!

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!
