USFA CSS / Re: 38/40 serial number
« Last post by Coffinmaker on Today at 01:39:38 PM »

 :) King  ;)

Hanging it all out, based on the Roll Marks and SN, I'm calling it a US Parts gun.  Either way, it's and excellent example.  Cylinder shows signs of the action having been cycled several times at least.  Price isn't out of line with current trends for USFA offerings.

Your Move.

The Winchester Model 1876 / Re: 50-95 Express loading tools
« Last post by Boone May on Today at 12:20:06 PM »
I am lucky enough to already have a better set of Express loading tools than what is offered.  I am also lucky enough to have paid way less than what this gent is asking.  I don't have the decapper pin...
The mold for this GI set is missing the plug that makes the bullet hollow point.
My set below along with an original box of cartridges.  Also adding the GI link for those inclined for a look-see.

The Winchester Model 1876 / Re: how long have you had a 76 rifle?
« Last post by Boone May on Today at 12:01:36 PM »
I bought my first 1876 rifle in 1987.  Like Buck Stinson, I have owned about 30 over the years in all four calibers.  I currently have nine of them, all originals.  Three in .45-75, two in .50 Express, two in .40-60, and two in .45-60.  I am just the current caretakers of these fine arms.

STORM / Re: 1866 uberti stains on brass receiver

Actually, Black Powder and Subs will greatly speed the "Patina" process, but, unfortunately it isn't a quick process.  Takes time.  Just have to convince yourself to ignore the stains until the stains are everywhere.  8)

Oh, also, you may consider coming over to The Dark Side  ::)

So, asking again, a pre-war 38/40, serial #113840 black powder frame. Is this one a US made pistol? Priced at $1800.

BROW / Re: Rolling Block's???

They aren't much to look at, but I love shooting my .50-70 NYS Roller. It's one of the few guns I own that it seems like if I point it in the general direction of the target, I'll hit it. I don't miss often with it..

The 1866 receiver is BRASS.  It will stain whether shooting Smokeless or Black Powder or Subs.  I am also surprised Brasso didn't do the job. 

There are those of us who champion Brass rifles who actually prefer to allow the brass rifles to stain (patina??) and like the look.  All of my Brass rifles are well patina'd and I prefer that look.  It is however your rifle and it's your choice.

DO NOT USE SANDPAPER unless you use 2000 or 3000 grit wet/dry.  Any larger grit will actually leave scratches you may not be able to remove.


I tried neverdull and it worked better then brasso but the stains still remain. I would love to acquire that patina look tbh. Is there a way to speed up the process? I don’t shoot black powder unfortunately as I read that can speed the process up.

This is very strange.  Three people had their first post on this topic.  I'm thinking at least the last two are AI bots and will report them as such, and let the moderators figure it out.

 If either cloakedoink or celemtine are real people, I invite them to come back on and prove me wrong.
