Tall Tales / Re: May we move on, for coffee and chat ?
« Last post by Major 2 on Yesterday at 04:15:21 PM »
Oh! the simple things we do to Wreck ourselves.  ::)

I was not going to own up to my latest, but since you opened to door, I'll testify.... :-*

I flipped my electric mobile scooter; it reared up like an Unbroke bronco.
Landing on my back with front wheels pointed towards Heaven, and me on my keester still in the seat.
I'm glad no one saw it, Hell I even laughed at my own ridicules position.
I was unhurt but might have turned out way different. The tools, 18V cordless drill, 16 oz hammer,
a pair of plyers, a bag of screws, the scooters charger, my ball cap and sundried misc. parts catapulted over my head at some force.
The above missiles missed my face and cranium by about a foot. Nor did I smack the back of my head
or cause whiplash.

I was in the seat, something akin to a space launch position. No one home, cell phone in the house.... ::)
Laying there for several moments, assessing any personal harm.
The whole experience, was like in slow motion, when I realized I did not off myself, and absurdity set in
I laughed, looking around assuring myself no one, anyone saw my stupidity. 



Note to self, DON"T try to jump the sidewalk from the lawn at a 90-degree angle. the wheely that ensues
is not sustainable because the scoot is both top & rear heavy.
I figured I might have some pain set in sometime later, so far so good  :P     

Feel better Major, laugh at my Wreck, laughter is a feel better remedy  :D

1911 & Wild Bunch Shooting / Re: Wild Bunch Naval uniform
« Last post by Drydock on Yesterday at 04:02:27 PM »
https://sanfranciscohat.com/campobello-white/   FDRs favorite.  A USN white hat he picked up during his stint as Asst SecNav during WW1.  All the reinactors aboard the Olympia wear these. 






And yes, Gilligan wore one of these.  Lord knows where he got it.

WPG also has the blue jumper uniform as well, but for what you want to do I think you'ld be better off with the whites.  Easier to take care of, and you'll be glad of the cotton in a Nebraska summer.

The Winchester Model 1876 / Re: Load Data for the 40/60
« Last post by Boone May on Yesterday at 01:06:50 PM »
Well obviously I’m too old and senile to be posting here much less fooling with primers and powder
Tried to pose a question regarding a suggestion in Venturinos “Lever Guns” but I put it on the 45-60 site….(sigh)
To get to the point:
He mentions shortening 45-70 dies to use reloading the 45-60
If this works then is the same course of action possible: using shortened 40-65 dies with the 40-60…
45-70 shortened for 45-60 reloading IAW Venturino
40-65 shortened for 40-60?
Thanks……..
I don't see why you couldn't use Starline .40-65 brass as a basis for .40-60 WCF cases.  The .40-65 WCF (also known as .40-60 Marlin) was based on a necked down .45-70 case.  I never had to do this as I had a bunch of resized and shortened .40-60 WCF cases made by Buffalo Arms.  Give it a try and let us know results.

Same here, got things to do, important things, but not sure if I want whole wheat or some sort of rye. ;D

Real bread, not that Yuppie Artisan stuff full of holes like Swiss cheese, a crack as big as the San Andres fault and little flowers drawn on it. ::)

The Powder Room - CAS reloading / Re: TRIPLE SEVEN
« Last post by Drydock on Yesterday at 12:15:23 PM »
You will see where 3f 777 is not recommended for cartridges This is because a full case of 3f  in the 45 Colt will exceed SAMMI spec for that cartridge. Then again so will a case of 3f OE or Swiss.  I like using such powders in cases like the 38s, 44 Russian, 45 CS etc.

Oopsies.  I neglected your original question.  I honestly don't know.  Whenever I worked on '92s I simply worked on the OEM parts.  I never tried swapping between manufacturers.  I will say, to most outward appearances, everybody copies the original '92 fairly closely.  It doesn't take much for something to NOT FIT however.

Steve at Stevesgunz would be a much better source.  If he doesn't know, nobody does.
