The Winchester Model 1876 / Re: I really need a 1876 mag tube?
« Last post by yahoody on Yesterday at 10:01:39 AM »Thanks Dusty, will do. Finally got a mag button made up for my short tube. Hopefully I have copied what you have done previous. Changed the barrel out to a 24", 45-60 while I was at it. Looking forward to getting it all back together. Just short the tube.
$100 for a 3' section delivered to my door. Tube on the way! Thanks much!

Cas City Historical Society / Christmas Leftovers
« Last post by Mogorilla on Yesterday at 07:15:24 AM »Hi All,
Made turkey stock at Christmas for some cornbread stuffing and opted to stash the wing bones. Had done some research and found out that wing bone calls had been made by natives at least back to 2000 B.C. I pulled the bones out and trimmed the ends and reboiled them to get out the marrow, then let them dry. Used a mixture of hide glue and sawdust to seal the joints (in full disclosure, a drop of krazy glue held them in place because I did not have the patience to hold them). When dry used Elk sinew and more hide glue around the joints. I am not a turkey hunter and not a pheasant plucker (but pretty sure I saw my dad pluck one or two), but I have a friend who gives me morels who hunts and a brother in law who gives me the wild turkey legs and thighs, so these are gifts.

The Barracks / Re: Storm Damage
« Last post by Pitspitr on Yesterday at 06:49:32 AM »Pretty much anything that was going get blown away had already been blown away here. As of Saturday morning the structures on the hill were ok, though the bathtub tank was a couple hundred yards toward the 600yd target
The school had part of the steel roof on a bus barn get pulled loose.

« Last post by greyhawk on May 15, 2022, 11:10:35 PM »>just goes to show its never safe to assume stuff - I eyeballed these from ten feet and thought they all same
I did as well. I have Browning '86 tubes. But foolishly gave away my '76 short mag tube that I could have used. Surprised me the '86 tube wouldn't work as I am using cut down 45-70 brass.
I'll keep looking for that curtain rod.
Is the "Home maker" store an actual chain store? I tried Lowes, no go. Home Depot is next.
nah we have "Spotlight " downunder (woulda called it haberdashery store in the old days I think) ..sewing stuff , all kinds of cloth, curtain material, soft furnishings, crafty supplies .... first place we go look for cloth patching material for the front loader guns.

The Winchester Model 1873 / Re: Traditional Front Sight
« Last post by 1961MJS on May 15, 2022, 09:55:19 PM »Hi
I like the factory sights on my new Uberti. A blade front with a buckhorn sight that's plain ole black with no adjustments or white diamond. I've been busy, but I might try an Uberti front sight on the Rossi also.
Later

The Winchester Model 1876 / Re: Took the '76 to the range today. Had an issue and could use some help.
« Last post by Buckaroo Lou on May 15, 2022, 09:49:04 PM »I turned all the Jamison brass rims down to .600 the same size as the Winchester 45-70 brass. They chamber and eject properly now. Anything larger and the rim guide would bite into the brass.
I have not pulled the bolt out of the rifle to examine it. I just haven't wanted to break the rifle down that far yet. I will some time in the future. Since trimming the rims down on the Jamison brass the rifle seems to be functioning ok now. I will go to the range again before too long and will report back then.
Thank you gentlemen for the assistance. You guys are the best!
